Yeah, I kinda agree. Like the eldest is the heir, but they never showed him as an appropriate leader or deserving of inheriting the title. He is always shown to be helpless in need to be saved cause he ends up where his brother should be. He hasn’t been very dependable so far, and their father also doesn’t play much role in that. On the other hand Theodore is never there when needed and was also shown as kinda useless in the field of his brother a.k.a politics. Also, how can the little prince be treasured by the emperor and empress but also so neglected and abused? Doesn’t make sense.
I mostly read it for the art style and family dynamic
What’s the use of swords-master in the family if he’s never there when needed
