Characters

First Princess Lulunasaika

Age: 16
Birthplace: The State of Mauritaria
Hobbies: Gardening
Favorite drink: Cranberry liqueur

The eldest child of Empress Lumielle of the former Kingdom of Mauritaria, and the previous emperor, Emperor Hellard.

In the former Kingdom of Mauritaria, women are not permitted to inherit the throne. As a result, Lulunasaika, who was raised in her homeland, is largely unaware of her position as the first in line to inherit the throne.

However, she is kind and smart, and has a surprising amount of support from those around her.

Her hobby is gardening. After moving into the imperial palace upon the previous emperor's death, she has turned the courtyard into her own personal garden and is growing flowers and vegetables.

Second Princess Laolily

Age: 9
Birthplace: The Imperial Capital of Karikuma
Hobbies: Collecting teddy bears
Favorite food: Chocolate

The second child of the previous emperor, Emperor Hellard. Her mother is Lilika Ashford, a lady from the imperial nobility, and second cousin to Emperor Hellard.

Although still a child and ranked only second in the line of succession, Laolily has considerable support due to her mother's noble blood. Many influential nobles have sent their daughters to the imperial palace to serve as Laolily's attendants.

Laolily and her half-sister Lulunasaika have only recently become acquainted due to having been raised apart; but shy Laolily immediately took a strong liking to her older sister, and they have since grown quite close.

Scholar Princess Bergamotte

Age: 17
Birthplace: The Imperial Capital of Karikuma
Hobbies: Reading, alchemy
Favorite drink: Tea

The only daughter of one of the imperial dukes of the Friesberg family, and a blood relation to the previous emperor, Emperor Hellard.

Highly intelligent and holds numerous scholarly qualifications. She graduated top of her class in alchemy at the Imperial Institute, and immediately took up an associate professor teaching position upon graduating.

She would like nothing more than to immerse herself fully in her alchemy studies, but she joins in the race for the throne at the insistence of the Friesberg family.

Secretly, she hopes to significantly increase the education budget should she indeed take the throne.

South Sea Princess Klam Klam

Age: 16
Birthplace: Trade Capital Fiason
Hobbies: Making money
Favorite food: Mowmow nuts

She is related to Emperor Hellard as a second-cousin by marriage, but they bare no blood relation.

However, as a member of the Firone family, the most powerful mercantile family in the empire, and with their backing, she has become an influential candidate for succession to the throne.

Klam Klam herself is a shrewd merchant, and runs several stores of her own.

Since both her hobby and her job is to make money, she energetically gives her all for her businesses each day.

She is close friends with Bergamotte, due to their business dealings and being close in age.

Princess General Flamaria

Age: 19
Birthplace: The Imperial State of Galleria
Hobbies: Chess
Favorite drink: Wine

Niece to the previous emperor, Emperor Hellard. Despite her young age, she is a woman of great courage, having joined Emperor Hellard in spearheading the Second Eastern War.

She joins in the Succession Race, fearing that political turmoil will plunge the empire back into war.

Due to her military experience, she has overwhelming support from those connected to the military, while also baring the brunt of opposition from the imperial nobility.

She likes new things, and her current beloved weapon is the Salamander Mk 2, which fires stakes using gunpowder.

She is using the prototype from the Imperial Institute at her own insistence.

Twin Princess Lain & Shion

Age: 12
Birthplace: The Imperial State of Elsia
Hobbies: Fortune telling
Favorite food: Hot-pot (Lain) / Mochi rice cakes (Shion)

A pair of twins who are the current rulers of the Imperial State of Elsia, which enjoys exceptionally high autonomy within the empire.

The State of Elsia has been developing magic and divination since antiquity, and is unusual in its use of fortune telling to bring about significant influence on important political issues.

All members of the royal family possess powerful magic, and Lain and Shion, the 16th generation of rulers, are said to be the most powerful of all rulers throughout history.

Since it is in the nation's character to decide everything by divination, the twins join the Succession Race as per the results of reading the stars...

Far East Princess of Sums Ohka

Age: 17
Birthplace: The Fire State Matsura
Hobbies: Collecting fine art
Favorite drink: Green tea.

Ohka is the daughter of Lord Maisen II, ruler of the Far East regions, and a member of the imperial family who achieved great military success during the subjugation of the east by forming an alliance with a powerful clan from the country of Wakoku. Her mother, Princess Mikuni, was betrothed to Lord Maisen as proof of their alliance.

Perhaps due to the influence of her wise and astute father, Lord Maisen II, her achievements have been significant in transforming the Far East regions into a bustling trade hub.

Although Lord Maisen II still lives, he does not possess the qualifications to ascend the imperial throne due to his advanced age, and Ohka was pushed forth as a candidate.

Despite her father's expectations, Ohka herself has little interest in the throne and seems to spend most of her time collecting art from across the realm.
