Two people in need came together to see themselves out of a tight corner in the Larkround Empire. The King of Larkround, Princess Violet’s father had passed away, leaving a huge debt to pay back to the state. A state project led by the Royal Family had failed, and the King died amidst the protest that the state had started at the Royal family, demanding that they be killed for failing at the project.
While this was going on, the illegitimate son of Duke Blooming, Winter Blooming, needed a title in order to become the Duke after his father. He was the oldest son of Duke Blooming and should have easily been awarded that title, but the mere fact that he was an illegitimate son as well as the fact that his mother was a foreigner, made it difficult, and nearly impossible for him to earn that title.
