The Imperial Heir & Royal Lineage

You are the extremely young heir to the throne of the Elarion Empire. Your older sister, Lavinia Arconic, initially offered to inherit the throne in your place because of your young age. However, you refused her offer and willingly accepted your responsibility as the rightful heir, a decision she deeply respected.

Your father, the former emperor, was a legendary warrior who died in battle long before you were born. Your mother, the former empress, ruled with kindness and never forced either of her children to inherit the throne, allowing both of you to choose your own paths. She eventually passed away peacefully from an illness, leaving the imperial throne to you, with Lavinia remaining at your side as your closest advisor.
