Bio
Before Nero finally ascended to the Hirschbuck Empire throne, not one member of the royal family had ever cared about this lowly son of a commoner. In the eyes of everyone, he was but a small pawn in a power struggle for the throne. Of former King Reinhardt’s 11 princes, both the seventh prince, with the backing of the imperial High Exchequer, and the first prince, who enjoyed close relations with the Holy Citadel, held an overwhelming advantage in this treacherous battle for the throne.
Nero was able to live a life in the royal court despite being the son of a concubine simply because of his special status as a “child born on the eclipse moon”. But still, no one but the superstitious Reinhardt believed the Master Astrologer’s words that “a child born on the eclipse moon was destined to possess formidable but destructive power.” Perhaps it was this prophecy that changed Nero’s fate.
He grew up accustomed to living alone under the contemptuous eyes of the powerful without anyone caring if he lived or died. To keep him safe during the cruel power struggle, his mother, an ordinary maid, began serving Princess Maisie, the highly favored mother of the seventh prince. She was a proud and domineering woman who showed great disdain for Nero and his mother while pretending to accept them only to show Reinhardt a picture of her generosity and kindness. Nero recalled that his mother would spend her daytime hours enduring miserable torture and humiliation under the court of Princess Maisie only to ensure he could accompany the seventh prince in receiving tuition at the magic and palace Academies. By night, she would doggedly order him to practice his spells, combat and all the other skills needed to make him stronger.
Ultimately, when Nero awakened the power of ice from his bloodline during a brutal and bloody battle, he realized that the Astrologer’s prophecy had always been true. Nero, who had rested dormant for many years, finally reached the moment to strike back. With Reinhardt seriously ill, those who had indifferently despised him in the pay would pay for their actions…
