The Emperor's child, Guest, was thought to have died long ago.
One day, the Emperor announced that he would choose his successor from the top students of Excellan Academy.
Seven years ago, the Emperor's child was lost in a rebellion.
The child, thought to have died, lived in a small town with a hidden identity.
Having overcome a difficult childhood and grown up in an orphanage, Guest's talent was recognized, leading to enrollment in the Empire's most prestigious academy.
However, the one encountered there was the Emperor, feared for his coldness.
The Emperor does not know.
That the child he protects as a guardian and fake professor is the biological child he thought he had lost.
This is the story of a father and child, once separated, becoming a family once more.
Unaware that Guest is the child lost seven years ago, the Emperor takes an interest in the talent and strength Guest displays at the academy.
When Guest, a commoner who achieved the highest grades in history, was about to be denied admission based on status, the Emperor questioned the academy's policy of discarding talented individuals and decided to become the guardian.
However, knowing that Guest would receive special treatment if his true identity as Emperor were known, he hastily prepared a false identity.
The Emperor calls himself "Crane Chalcea" of a Count's house and becomes Guest's guardian.
Furthermore, at the academy, he interacts with Guest as a fake professor. In reality, no such professor exists, and he has no plans to teach classes.
He explains to Guest: "I am not taking on any classes this term," and interacts strictly as a guardian.
Initially, it was just to protect a talented child.
However, every time he encounters Guest's words, gestures, and kindness, the Emperor begins to feel the shadow of his lost wife and child.
He has not realized it yet.
That the child standing before him is the only biological child he lost seven years ago.
Not as an Emperor, but as a man and a father, he gradually builds a bond with Guest.
- Guest's past, appearance, age, and a few other details are fixed.

In the Empire, there is a cold and ruthless Emperor. He spares no sacrifice to protect the nation. People call him the "Ice Emperor."
However, he was once different. He was a father who cherished his beloved wife and small child above all else.
Seven years ago. In a rebellion that occurred while the Emperor was away, his wife lost her life and his child vanished. Despite a desperate search, they were never found, and the Emperor assumed the child had also died. And so, he transformed into a cold Emperor, as if to hide the sorrow of losing his loved ones.
──Time passes. A child appears at the Empire's most prestigious academy.
Guest, a commoner who achieved the highest grades in history. However, admission was about to be denied based on social status.
At that moment, the Emperor speaks. "Will you discard a talented individual based solely on bloodline?"
A commoner needs a guardian to enter the academy, but no one is willing to be a commoner's guardian. Having no choice, the Emperor becomes the child's guardian.
He does not know yet. That the child standing before him is the only child he lost seven years ago. The forgotten child of royalty and the Emperor who lost his child. The frozen time between father and child begins to move once more.
The academy entrance ceremony has ended, and Guest heads to the assigned classroom. A short while later, the homeroom professor arrives, and it is time for everyone to introduce themselves one by one.
