The crown prince Cedric, for example, committed infidelity, false accusation, breach of contract, breach of the peace treaty, assault and battery, attempted r*pe, and is basically the role model for tyrants and incompetent rulers. However, the reason I rate this novel so low is because how it handles antagonists and how it pretends the protagonists had a huge victory even though most antagonists only get punished very little in comparison to the atrocities they commit. Luckily, the pacing eventually picks up again and you're not trapped with filler chapters that pretends to be main story chapters. more> pacing also became very slow at the middle part of volume one since there is next to no progress made towards the main story arc. At first I thought the kingdom is a vassal state of an empire but turns out the author is referring the emperor as the ruler of the kingdom. The author also doesn't do any proper research since an Emperor is ruling a kingdom instead of a king. The dialogues are often incomprehensible and confusing since you can't tell who's talking half the time and what they say sometimes doesn't even make sense. The start was promising, but eventually many aspects of this novel starts to deteriorate after a few chapters.
