It ain't easy being a foreign guest...After narrowly dodging a marriage proposal, Prince Wein is accosted by a messenger from the Kingdom of Cavarin, which can only mean bad news...and unfortunately, he's absolutely right! The messenger cordially invites him to the Festival of the Spirit to celebrate the biggest religion in the western side of the continent: the Teachings of Levetia. Oh, and this event just happens to coincide with a gathering for the most influential group in the West, which is also in Cavarin. Either way, it's not an invitation Wein can turn down easily, even though he knows he's just begging for more trouble...!

Imperial Prince Demetrio and his advisers are stumped. And for good reason, too. Wein, the Crown Prince of Natra, has joined their meeting, and he wasn't really invited. Wein is technically only here to return a favor to Imperial Princess Lowellmina, who can't stand to watch her three brothers rip each other apart for the throne. Somehow or other, he finds himself teamed up with Demetrio, who seems like he's the least likely of the three to become the next emperor...

The trouble in the Empire has finally subsided, but that doesn't mean Wein can rest easy. Relations between the East and West are more strained than ever, and there's new trouble at home. A movement for independence is brewing in Natra, and Ninym's been caught in the center of it. Things are looking grim--and that's when Falanya reveals something that could change the kingdom forever!

To decide the successor of the throne, the three children of the imperial family must meet to talk through their options. Imperial Princess Lowellmina personally invites Prince Wein to join them in the city, which he successfully declines with dramatic flair. That's too bad, because now he has to deal with a whole new problem: His sister, Falanya, going in his stead! Worried sick, Wein sends Ninym after her, but nothing will soothe his anxious soul...other than going to the Empire himself!

At the behest of Holy Elite Agata, Wein visits the Ulbeth Alliance, where several cities are locked in a power struggle for control over the region. Though Agata asks for his assistance in unifying the nation, Wein suspects the Elector has ulterior motives, and launches a secret operation while keeping up the façade of cooperation. It's a plan that could disrupt long-held traditions and upset the delicate balance of power in the Alliance, but Wein proceeds with his latest ploy as carefree as ever!

An invitation to a ceremony sends Falanya to the Delunio Kingdom on the west side of the continent. However, she discovers a sinister scheme that threatens the nation when she arrives. Meanwhile, Wein, left behind in the east, receives word that conflict between the imperial siblings has resumed. Things seem to be racing toward war on two fronts!

Lowellmina's campaign against her brothers seems to be going well after she snags a victory against both of them. However, members of the enemy faction like Glen and Strang aren't ready to throw in the towel just yet. Meanwhile, the Eastern Church of Levetia seizes upon the chaos of the conflict in Earthworld to advance its own agenda. With Wein the genius prince caught in his own difficult position, the continent seems to be barreling for chaos!

It ain't easy being a genius... Prince Wein is ready to commit treason. And who can blame him? Faced with the impossible task of ruling his pathetic little kingdom, this poor guy just can't catch a break! But with his brilliant idea of auctioning off his country, this lazy prince should be able to retire once and for all. Or that was the plan...until his treasonous schemes lead to disastrous consequences-namely, accidental victories and the favor of his people!

It ain't easy being a bachelor... His people might laud him for being the next great ruler, but Prince Wein of Natra has been conspiring behind their backs to live the languid life of a retired teen. Now, a major roadblock stands in his way. Ever since he won a war with a neighboring country, he's become a household name all across the land...which, frankly, sucks. And as if things couldn't get any worse, Prince Wein has just met his newest challenger: the Imperial Princess Lowellmina, who's here for a secret favor-to ask for his hand in marriage?! It's just too good to be true! Well, this genius's instincts may be spot-on, because there's something lurking behind her plan to make Wein her trophy husband...

IN THE UNEXPLORED REACHES OF THE OCEAN​Clear skies. Deep-blue sea. Tropical sun baking the sandy beach. Wein finds himself whisked away to the Patura islands in the tropical south, trying to make the best use of his access to the port in Soljest. These islands are at the top of his list of potential trade partners, and if he doesn’t come back to Natra with a deal in hand…let’s just say his monthly expenses might run him completely dry. It seems, however, that the gods are not on his side: One little slip-up lands him behind bars in the island nation. The only silver lining, it seems, is that his neighbor the next cell over seems like an interesting guy…who might have some-thing to do with the hunt for the Rainbow Crown, a piece of treasure housing magic that can control all of Patura!
