I'm fairly certain 'Il Principe' doesn't have a sequel in the traditional sense. It's Niccolò Machiavelli's political treatise from the Renaissance, not a modern narrative series. The question might come from a reader who's discovered a novel with a similar or translated title. If you're looking at an Indonesian version of 'The Prince', that's just Machiavelli's standalone work.
That said, Machiavelli wrote a lot of other stuff. 'Discourses on Livy' is sort of a companion piece, dealing with republics instead of principalities. It expands on ideas from 'Il Principe' but isn't a sequel. Some modern authors have written books inspired by it, like satirical guides or business books using the 'Machiavellian' angle, but they're not part of the original.
Wait, are we talking about the same thing? I read a romance novel called 'Il Principe' once, an Italian import about a mafia boss. That one absolutely had a sequel, something like 'Il Principe's Revenge'. Machiavelli's book is philosophy, but if you're into dramatic fiction, there are tons of series with 'Principe' in the title. Might be worth double-checking the author on your cover.
If it is the Machiavelli, then no, there's no series. It's a one-and-done manual for ruthless rulers. The only 'sequel' is the centuries of analysis and debate it spawned.
If you found 'Il Principe' and wanted more story, you might be disappointed. It's not that kind of book. Think of it as a very long, brilliant, and terrifying letter of advice. The 'sequel' is the impact it had; you see its ideas echoed in fiction about political intrigue everywhere, from 'Game of Thrones' to video games. For direct continuation, look into Machiavelli's other writings or historical commentaries on his work, but a narrative follow-up doesn't exist.

The title 'Buku Il Principe' doesn't ring a bell for me, and I've spent a good chunk of time looking. It's not showing up in any of the usual databases for translated fiction or Indonesian literature I frequent. Sometimes titles get mangled in translation or typed with errors in online forums. It could be a misheard or misspelled reference to something like Machiavelli's 'The Prince' ('Il Principe' in Italian). Maybe someone was asking about a specific edition or adaptation of that?
Without a clear source, it's tough to nail down a plot. If it is a version of Machiavelli's work, then the 'plot' is more of a political treatise—it's a Renaissance-era guide on statecraft and power, analyzing how a ruler should acquire and maintain control, famously discussing whether it's better to be feared or loved. But as a work of non-fiction, it doesn't have a narrative arc in the way a novel does.
Frankly, the title 'Il Principe' threw me off at first—it sounded like some fantasy novel. But nah, it's just the Italian title for Niccolò Machiavelli's 'The Prince.' So it's not a historical story in the way a novel about a king might be; it's a political treatise from the 16th century. Machiavelli wrote it based on his observations of Italian politics and rulers of his time, like Cesare Borgia.
He wasn't inventing a fictional narrative, but he was definitely using real events and people as case studies to make his points about power. Whether that counts as 'based on a true historical story' is a bit semantic. It's rooted in history, but it's an argument, not a chronicle. The book itself became a huge part of history, influencing real rulers for centuries after.
Alright, so 'Buku Il Principe' - that threw me for a second because I think the asker might mean 'Il Principe' by Machiavelli, but 'buku' is Malay/Indonesian for 'book'. If we're talking about that classic political treatise, 'key characters' is a bit of a funny way to put it since it's non-fiction, but the book itself personifies concepts.
Machiavelli spends a lot of time talking about Cesare Borgia as his prime example of a 'new prince' who used force and cunning to secure power, only to have it all undone by bad luck and illness. He's the most fleshed-out 'character' in the whole thing, almost like a tragic hero in Machiavelli's analysis.
Then there's the contrasting figure of Agathocles of Syracuse, who's held up as someone who achieved power through wickedness and cruelty. Machiavelli uses him to make that infamous point about whether it's better to be loved or feared. So those two historical figures really carry the argument forward, more than just abstract ideas.
