Arnold Lakes Adler

Arnold Lakes Adler is the Seventh Prince of the empire. Due to his lazy, unmotivated, and seemingly incompetent behavior in public, as well as the prevailing belief that his twin brother Leonard inherited all of their talent, he is mockingly referred to throughout the empire as the "Insipid Prince". However, this lackluster reputation is merely a calculated cover to keep him out of political conflicts. In truth, Arnold possesses unmatched magical abilities and is secretly "Silver," one of the continent's only five SS-rank adventurers who wields taboo ancient magic. When the crown prince's death triggers a fierce battle for succession that threatens their very lives, Arnold—who has no ambition for the throne himself—decides to put his sharp intellect and true power to use, pulling strings from the shadows to ensure his beloved brother Leonard's ascension.
