ALL THINGS IN THE WORLD EXIST FOR THEM. SPECIAL ABILITIES THAT ONLY ROYALS CAN POSSESS, AND BEAUTIFUL BLONDE HAIR. AREN'T THEY LITERALLY THE INCARNATION OF GODS AND THE VERY SYMBOL OF NOBILITY? THEIR RULE IS SUCH A JUSTIFIED AND BEAUTIFUL THING. EXCLUDING THAT TRASHY SEVENTH PRINCE, OF COURSE. HE'S STUPID AND HAS A TERRIBLE TEMPER, AND THAT HIDEOUS BLACK HAIR OF HIS! YOU CALL THAT A ROYAL? A PATHETIC BASTARD WHO ONLY WALKS ON EGGSHELLS AROUND THE OTHER ROYALS! DO YOU THINK I POURED IN ALL THOSE BRIBES JUST TO WORK UNDER A GUY LIKE THAT?! I...! I...!! DAMN IT! THIS IS NO TIME TO BE SCRUBBING FLOORS! ...YOUR HIGHNESS, I HAVE CLEANED IT UP. THEN I WILL TAKE MY LEAVE... ...Y-YOUR HIGHNESS? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?! YOU WASTED THIS MUCH TIME ON SOMETHING SO SIMPLE... USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE MORE. CLEAN IT UP. FASTER. ...YOU ARE ACTING QUITE STRANGE TODAY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD SAY TO THE EMPRESS... HE CAN'T EVEN SPEAK TO THE EMPRESS, AND YET HE TRIES TO THREATEN ME? IT SEEMS THIS IS NOT ENOUGH TO BRING HIM TO HIS SENSES. I'D BETTER MAKE THINGS CLEAR SO HE DOESN'T BECOME A NUISANCE. YOU THERE, COVER YOUR EARS. YES! AH... M-MY EARS? THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THE LIKES OF YOU SHOULD HEAR. IF YOU EAVESDROP ON EVEN A SINGLE WORD, I'LL HAVE YOU WORKING WITHOUT YOUR FINGERS. AH, YES! YES!!! HIS FACE INSTANTLY TURNED PALE. IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS STARING AT A CORPSE OR SOMETHING. SPEAKING OF WHICH—LATELY, THE SEVENTH PRINCE... HASN'T HE BEEN A BIT STRANGE SINCE THAT DAY? HMM... ANNA MIGHT BE RIGHT? YOU GUYS THINK SO TOO, RIGHT? I THINK... HE'S GOTTEN WAY SCARIER... WILL WE EVEN BE ALIVE NEXT YEAR...? STILL, ISN'T IT A RELIEF THAT WE HAVEN'T RUN INTO HIM LATELY? YEAH. HE HASN'T GONE OUT AND IS JUST STAYING IN HIS PALACE. HMM... BY THE WAY, ANNA, SHOULDN'T YOU BE SOMEWHERE ELSE? YOU'RE ON CLEANING DUTY TODAY. ...AH, RIGHT! THE WEATHER IS NICE. SINCE I'M ACTING JUST LIKE THE SEVENTH PRINCE FROM THE NOVEL, I SHOULDN'T DRAW MUCH SUSPICION. AND THE SERVANTS SEEM TO BE AVOIDING ME OUT OF FEAR. SINCE THAT DAY, SEIN'S DISRESPECT HAS DISAPPEARED. IN FACT, HE HASN'T COME NEAR ME AT ALL. WHICH IS FINE BY ME— I'D RATHER NOT THROW ANOTHER TEAPOT AT ANYONE'S HEAD. THE REASON I CAN AFFORD TO BE THIS RELAXED IS BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TIME. ONE YEAR UNTIL THE ORIGINAL STORY BEGINS, AND THREE YEARS UNTIL I DIE. THE NOVEL I READ OVER A HUNDRED TIMES, “DARK HEADER.” I STILL CLEARLY REMEMBER THE DAY I STUMBLED ACROSS THAT WORN-OUT BOOK IN THE CORNER OF THE LOCAL LIBRARY. THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS NOVEL. IT'S STILL A LONG WAY OFF UNTIL THE PROTAGONIST APPEARS AND THE STORY BEGINS. LET'S JUST ELEGANTLY ENJOY SOME FREE TIME FOR NOW. ANYWAY, THE WEATHER IS REALLY NICE. IF I HAD WINGS, IT MIGHT BE NICE TO LOOK DOWN AT THAT SCENER— WH-WHAT IS THIS?! ALL OF A SUDDEN...?! MY BODY IS BURNING UP!!! IT FEELS SOMEWHAT... DIFFERENT FROM BACK THEN... MY WHOLE BODY... FEELS LIKE IT'S ON FIRE...!!!! ARE YOU THERE, YOUR HIGHNESS? IT'S ANNA. MAY I COME INTO THE STUDY TO CLEAN? S-SOMEONE... PLEASE... SAVE ME... PHEW... THANKFULLY IT SEEMS HE ISN'T IN THIS ROOM. EXCUSE ME...? W-WAIT, WHAT HAPPENED HERE?! OH MY, WHAT A WASTE... IF I SOLD THIS, MY FAMILY COULD EAT FOR A MONTH. ? TH-THIS IS...? A CROW?! LITTLE CROW, HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IN HERE? A VERY SCARY PERSON LIVES HERE, YOU KNOW! ...I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. DID I CHANGE FROM THE SEVENTH PRINCE... INTO A CROW? BUT WHY ON EARTH??? I'D LOVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU IF I COULD, BUT IF HIS HIGHNESS CATCHES US LIKE THIS, WE'LL BOTH BE DEAD. W-WAIT A MINUTE! I AM THAT "HIS HIGHNESS"!!! YOU CAN FLY PROPERLY, RIGHT? HURRY AND FLY FAR, FAR AWAY. NO! DON'T LET GO! THAT'S AN ORDER! PLEASE, IF YOU LET GO... NO!!!!! I'LL DIE! I'M GOING TO DIE! I'LL FALL TO MY DEATH!! WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO SURVIVE? DO I JUST NEED TO USE MY WINGS?! FLY! FLY!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE HERE!!! HUH? WH-WHAT IS THIS? I-I'M FLYING! I'M ACTUALLY FLYING!! WAIT, BUT THIS... CAN I TURN BACK INTO A HUMAN? THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK INTO A HUMAN. I TRIED IT A FEW MORE TIMES JUST TO BE SURE. THE ABILITY TO TRANSFORM INTO A CROW AT WILL? TO THINK I CAN TRANSFORM JUST BY WILLING IT... WHY CAN I TURN INTO A CROW? IS IT SOME KIND OF CURSE FROM THE CROW THAT LATCHED ONTO ME ON THE FIRST DAY? AN ABILITY LIKE THIS NEVER APPEARED IN THE STORY. I DON'T KNOW WHY I GAINED THIS ABILITY, BUT IT'S OBVIOUS THAT I MUST NEVER LET ANYONE FIND OUT. TRANSFORMING INTO A CROW IS AN ABILITY THAT WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE NOVEL. IT COULD POTENTIALLY RUIN THE PROGRESSION OF THE STORY. THIS ABILITY IS UNDOUBTEDLY TIED TO MANIS... Y-YOUR HIGHNESS... THE EVENING RITUAL WILL BEGIN SHORTLY. YOU MUST PREPARE TO LEAVE... FINALLY, THE DAY HAS COME... ONCE A MONTH, THE EMPEROR AND THE PRIMARY SIBLINGS GATHER FOR THIS SACRED RITUAL. THEY CALL IT A RITUAL, BUT IT'S PRACTICALLY A SUCCESSION TEST. OF COURSE, THE SEVENTH PRINCE ISN'T EVEN CONSIDERED A CANDIDATE. WITNESSING IT IN PERSON AFTER ONLY EVER READING ABOUT IT FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THE SEVENTH PRINCE SAT AT THE VERY END OF THE TABLE. MAYBE IT'S THE BLONDE HAIR, BUT THEY'RE ALMOST BLINDING TO LOOK AT. COMPARED TO THEM, THE SEVENTH PRINCE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM A CROW. HOW DARE A HALF-WITTED BASTARD HOLD HIS HEAD UP WITHOUT ANY SHAME?! THAT GUY IN FRONT OF ME IS... THE EIGHTH PRINCE, SELOS ABIRAN. MY 17-YEAR-OLD HALF-BROTHER. THOUGH IT'S CLEAR HE DOESN'T CONSIDER ME HIS ELDER BROTHER. HAS THIS LOWLY TRASH LOST THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND WORDS NOW? WE'RE BOTH JUST MINOR VILLAINS WHO MAKE A BRIEF APPEARANCE... HEY, YOU! ARE YOU DEAF?! THIS BASTARD- YOU SHOULD GET ALONG. AS BROTHERS. YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE A SCENE IN FRONT OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR, SHOULD YOU? I-I'M SORRY. FIRST PRINCESS... SO SHE'S THE FIRST PRINCESS. IF SO, STARTING FROM THE LEFT, IT WOULD BE THE FIRST PRINCE, THIRD PRINCE, AND SECOND PRINCE. FIRST PRINCE THIRD PRINCE SECOND PRINCE FIRST PRINCESS THEY'RE LITERALLY SEATED IN ORDER OF RANK. THE BRIGHTER THEIR HAIR, THE STRONGER THE POWER THEY POSSESS. THEY WIELD MANIS—THE SPECIAL POWER UNIQUE TO THIS WORLD. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE WHAT ARE KNOWN AS ROYALS. COMPARED TO THEM, THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS BODY HAD PITCH BLACK HAIR. THE ONLY ROYAL BORN WITHOUT MANIS. NO WONDER HIS PERSONALITY BECAME TWISTED. AND THE PINNACLE OF MANIS IN THIS WORLD'S LORE IS, OF COURSE... HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR IS ENTERING. GLORY IN ONE HAND, CONVICTION IN THE OTHER, AND RUIN AT THE TIPS OF BOTH CLASPED HANDS. THE PEAK OF THIS EMPIRE. THE EMPEROR. LET'S NOT WASTE TIME AND BEGIN IMMEDIATELY. THAT BLUE STONE TABLET IS THE ANCIENT ARTIFACT LEFT BEHIND BY THE FIRST EMPEROR, "PRASA." WHEN MANIS IS INJECTED INTO IT... THE TABLET MEASURES THE USER'S MANIS. THE INDICATOR FOR MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF MANIS IS INTUITIVE. HOW FAR THE LIGHT RADIATING FROM THE TABLET... EXTENDS... WOAH... ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE OF THE TABLE... AS EXPECTED OF HIS MAJESTY... BUT DID THE LIGHT ORIGINALLY REACH THE EDGE OF THE TABLE LIKE THIS? THOSE WHO WISH TO CHALLENGE, STEP FORWARD. YOUR MAJESTY, I WILL ATTEMPT IT. THERE ARE NO STRICT RESTRICTIONS, BUT TRADITIONALLY ONLY THE FIRST PRINCE PARTICIPATES IN THE RITUAL. BECAUSE THE MANIS RANKINGS, ONCE MEASURED, ARE RARELY OVERTURNED. THE AMOUNT OF MANIS IS EQUIVALENT TO THE MAGNITUDE OF ONE'S POWER. THE FIRST PRINCE PERIODICALLY SHOWS OFF IN FRONT OF ALL THE ROYALS. SHOWING WHO IS CURRENTLY AT THE TOP OF THE POWER HIERARCHY. SHOWING WHO THE TRUE NEXT EMPEROR IS. KEUGH?? BROTHER?! H-HEY! IS ANYONE THERE?! HURRY, CALL A DOCTOR!! IN THAT MOMENT OF CHAOS, I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE FIRST PRINCE WILL DIE SHORTLY. SPEWING BLOOD FROM HIS ENTIRE BODY. THE MAIN STORY HAS BEGUN. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Seventh Prince Wants to Bail #2](/series/the-seventh-prince-wants-to-bail-wkzthuu4/chapter-2-27ezj8) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-seventh-prince-wants-to-bail-wkzthuu4 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
