[Watch Party] I, the Crown Prince, Need Funding

[The story is complete. Currently revising.]

One day, the emperor of the Sein Empire was plotting with his legion commander to annex the Northern Orc Empire in one fell swoop.

Then, as the two got more and more carried away, a mysterious force pulled them into a movie theater. They turned around and, would you look at that, everyone close to them had been brought along, from the royal family to their in-laws. Even the empire's other two legion commanders hadn't escaped.

As emperor, Lorne Vichy narrowed his eyes, ready to fly into a rage, but the screen in front of him lit up.

The host had been giving a serious introduction to history one moment. The next, he tossed aside the history books and started dishing the dirt.

When they first heard:

[Emperor Lorne Vichy, Duke Lorendale, and his eldest son all died in battle]

[The Sein Empire annexed the north]

[The notorious "tyrant" Kateros took the throne and ushered in the Era of Iron Law]

Lorne Vichy was still able to joke calmly about his son.

But then the story took a sharp turn.

[The legitimacy of the Lorendale family's last surviving heir is in doubt]

[The great mage of the age, Kairos Lorendale, may be of royal blood]

[The Queen of the Sein Empire mysteriously disappeared, possibly pregnant when she fled]

[They were thought to be aunt and nephew, but turned out to be mother and son]

Everyone: ???

Wait, what? How did things get this messed up?

Content warnings:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins.

2. The heroine is a villainess. She really will do anything.

3. A short, over-the-top melodrama with simple writing, a brainless power fantasy meant to relax your brain. (Whether you enjoy it is anyone's guess, but the author sure had fun writing it.)

Theme: Think carefully before you act.
