The young prince Edward of the Cantiaci Kingdom was the third son of the current Cantiaci ruler.
From a young age, the prince had proved he was much smarter, much more talented in fighting and much more suitable to rule compared to his two older brothers. However, he was born in a monarchy and the circumstances of his birth ensured he would never even have the chance for a future as a ruler.
However, one thing he had that his older brothers didn't was the favor of the queen. His mother did everything she could to open up a way for him to rule. That was, by giving him the chance to rule another kingdom. The prosperous neighboring kingdom without a prince.
Not only was the Lioness Kingdom a promise of territory to rule for him, it was also a promise of a beautiful princess as his future queen. For those, the black prince had long set his eyes upon the throne.
