The Rogue Prince 27946e4792 has returned.c3398daff0e7c34b

The return of 5869f1ff70 Roman Erenstein, Second 4e561549d4 Prince of the 31e81085d0 Cassel Empire, after d814ed464b nearly a month 10b43a2a0e away from the 595afb963e palace, sent ripples 5b80c46681 through the once-quiet d14f8c2ca9 Imperial Court.  bd220b4795102c75

The Empress’s 28b82d247d faction, previously b9a4180885 subdued, strutted 5592765f2d with newfound 23e667cb20 arrogance, while 0b13a8fb86 the crown 805308499a prince’s soaring fc758dc090 momentum faltered.  383ea2e3bbb2ed58

Why did Roman Erenstein’s e042539383 return—a man notorious for a7ad7cd32a stirring trouble—shake the palace’s baeacc67ca calm?  b605f03e7cdadc63

The current Emperor of 9f35a0b2fd Cassel, Mikhail Erenstein III, 8f25adc258 was a reserved man. He preferred 3da1e8c823 reading books e35a1ba6b9 to waging a5a18172a5 wars and 80a185e6c8 watering trees a49482ad02 to riding 8cb89d3fec horses.  f243ec36622b0eb0

Though not belligerent, his 43ebedecbb decisiveness earned him the 155a408150 Crown Prince title from 206eecefdc the previous Emperor, and 8b98bbcf53 a few years ago, 5381af5a1a he chose his eldest 2f88835c66 son, Vincent Erenstein, as 903d7398e6 his heir from among fb647fe61c his many sons.d20ee023f14bce72

Yet if 2aace575b6 asked which 6125da946f son Mikhail d450b76516 III cherished b9b0707d34 most, it 37d6752ba8 was undeniably d024868c94 Roman Erenstein. The emperor deeply loves 798cbd7f73 this Prince, whose personality b5d3d405b0 is the polar opposite 65e619d8b2 of his own, trusting 29b9f40dcc him enough to turn 6f2af85991 a blind eye to 1839dea081 his countless escapades.f0b08bb182afcb74

Mikhail couldn’t have 9f572086d7 been prouder when d40d57e626 Roman, despite being d069532871 called the Rogue 9d82519407 Prince, led battles 1f6372fc85 firsthand, racking up c1c12140ae victories and saving 4d85990aac the people.  bb0a1b10bfe08206
