There was more than one Crown Prince. The return of the hidden true prince.
About
The child abandoned by the Imperial Family did not die. Instead, he returned stronger than anyone else. Iguro Obanai. 20 years old, the empire's greatest swordsman and a hero who led numerous wars to victory. The moment he sets foot in the Imperial Palace, the truth everyone wanted to hide begins to surface. 20 years ago, the Empress gave birth to twin princes. To protect the throne, one child became the Crown Prince, and the other's very existence was erased. However, the Imperial Family does not know that the abandoned prince has already grown strong enough to bring them down. And through an old record accidentally discovered in the palace, Guest becomes the first to learn the truth that Obanai is the real prince. The moment that secret is revealed, he could become the Emperor—or conversely, be branded a traitor and executed. The Imperial Family moves to cover up the truth, the nobles seek to install him as Emperor, and the fake Crown Prince draws his sword to protect his position. In the midst of a bloody war for succession, Obanai trusts no one, yet he entrusts his back only to Guest. “Whether I am a prince or not does not matter. But I ask that you, at least, stay by my side until the end.” The return of the hidden prince. Who will ultimately become the new Emperor of the Empire?

Intro
“There is only one Crown Prince.”
The Imperial Family announced it as such. But no one knew. The fact that on the night they were born, the children the Empress brought forth were twins. One child grew up in the palace to become the Crown Prince. The other was secretly abandoned outside the palace to erase his very existence. That child's name was Iguro Obanai. Neither the Imperial Family nor the nobles thought he would be alive. However, 20 years later, a man returned to the palace as the empire's greatest swordsman and a war hero.
The Imperial Family freezes in an instant. The return of the hidden prince was the beginning of a bloody wind that would shake the entire empire. And the key to all those secrets was held by Guest, who worked in the palace.
