Prologue: The Beginning of Everything
Since when did I realize that I was not needed…?
A certain day nine years ago.
Lux attended the banquet held at the Imperial capital, in the autumn when summer had just ended.
A ceremony to ask the Heaven and ancestor to help the Empire win the war and rule the land was being held there for a duration of five days.
There were nearly three hundred nobles gathered in one place, including the ones from the royal family, waiting for the banquet to begin. This was the second time Lux attended such an event.
The huge castle overlooked the illuminated Imperial capital.
The banquet was held at the splendorous and dazzling reception hall which was so beautiful that it looked like something from a fairytale.
However, for some reason, the atmosphere filled Lux’s heart with an unsettling feeling.
According to his grandfather Wade who had a good judgement, the Empire, that indiscriminately splurged the country’s funds, incurred the ill will of all the citizens.
He himself began to suspect that his father, the Emperor Diseld, possibly no longer harbored affection any towards the seventh Prince.
After entering the castle, his mother finished the greetings and left Lux alone and went into an another room to attend to the sickly Airi .
Lux was standing alone in the dazzling gorgeous.
“Good evening.”
At that time, someone called out to Lux.
Facing him was a rather short middle-aged man.
With a gentle expression on his face, Dalto introduced himself as his mother’s acquaintance.
To be specific, this man’s wife who died last year was very close to Lux’s mother.
He was the huge merchant who ran the Aingram conglomerate and was about to move to the imperial capital, so he came to say hello.
“Is, that so.”
To the young Lux, these matters were not very interesting .
Lux only exchanged greetings and conversed because he was a member of the imperial family member behavior.
However——
“Then I will introduce you to my daughters. This is my first daughter Relie and this is my second daughter Philphie. This time, I was finally able to bring them over.”
He said pointing to the two young girls in beautiful formal dresses.
“The younger sister Philluffy is the same age as His Highness. As you can see, she is a gentle girl. I hope you will get along well.We will meet again when we visit your mother. ”
Lux bowed his head politely.
“…….Nice to make your acquaintance.”
A girl with childish features in a very well suited light-colored dress, fixed her gaze on Lux with a expressionless face.
Aingram Philluffy .
And with the encounter with the girl with a mysterious aura, the story of these two people began.

Thanks for this. Though I’m late in reading it.
I noticed some problems, though.
First is this:
“Lux was standing alone in the dazzling gorgeous.”
I think there might be some missing words at the end there. “Dazzling gorgeous” what? And maybe it’s also missing a comma between “dazzling” and “gorgeous”?
Second:
“Lux only exchanged greetings and conversed because he was a member of the imperial family member behavior.”
One can’t be a member of a behavior, right? This doesn’t make much sense.
I apologize if I come across as presumptuous or anything. I just thought I’d point these things out since I noticed them. Thanks for the hard work in translating the chapter either way, though. Don’t know what I’d do for my Saijaku fix if you and Bakapervert hadn’t picked it up.

Many thanks for pointing that out, but I have neither the mean nor the will to fix it( mostly the latter). Please understand.
