Raised as the successor of his father's company, he poured his life into preparing to inherit the company and grew up with no other interests. No care for women, money, or life in general. For all 29 years of his life, he lived purely for the sake of carrying out his duty without divulging into a single frivolity.

Little did he know that those were the feelings of a king who finally found his queen, one who he would lay his entire empire down to stay by her side.
