NOTE TO SELFCHAPTER 47
CHAPTERS 27-33 - The depression arc. MC finally gets his mana stone. Hesitation hits him and he is tortured.
Once revered as the crown prince of a nation, is now nothing but an insignificant slave. Our MC was poisoned to death by what is assumed to have been his little brother(11th Prince) who he let live after purging all of his siblings. After awakening, he found himself reborn as the son of 2 slaves from the enemy nation. Following his growth, he met the crown prince after being selected to bed him. He called the emperor by name, triggering the ML to find interest and bring him back to the palace in shackles. He was locked up, 'used', and asked of his identity, where the ML soon grew an attachment to him. During this time, he did his majesty's paperwork, trained in the sword, and also gained the interest from the Second ML (MY FAVORITE AHHH). However, he soon gained an opportunity to grab a magic stone, which he quickly tried for it. This attempt was quickly shot down by his majesty, where he was then locked up. The MC barely avoids interrogation. Following this, MC followed the ML to a monster hunt, where he finally got his hands on a magic stone and showed his true ability. However, he hesitated, resulting in him getting captured tortured, etc. Later, he gained an opportunity to escape, and he took it. He ran away with the second ML (End of season 1), met with the elves, and returned to the ML(This is really condensed, but explains main points). This time, he made a position for himself, painting a picture of him being a lion of god.
