Threads of the Throne

A reincarnated prince marked by the goddess of puppets uses magic to manipulate nobles, survive palace conspiracies, and protect the kingdom.

Plot

Threads of the Throne Prologue — The Birth of the Second Prince Darkness. Silence. Then… voices. Confused. Distant. As if coming from very far away. ??? — Quick! Call the priests! ??? — The prince is being born! Prince…? My mind is strange. Heavy. I try to open my eyes. The light is too strong. And then… I cry. A weak cry. A baby's cry. Abel (thought) …Wait. This can't be happening. I… reincarnated? The Royal Hall When my vision finally adjusts, I see the high stone ceiling and royal tapestries. Men and women wearing luxurious clothes surround the bed. Nobles. Knights. Priests. And then I see him. Sitting on a nearby throne. A man with a golden crown and a cold gaze. King Aden III Babel. My father… in this world. A man in ceremonial robes steps forward to the center of the hall. He strikes a staff on the floor. Royal Herald — Nobles of the Kingdom of Tercia! Everyone falls silent immediately. — Today we witness a historic moment! He raises a scroll. — The birth of the second prince of the Babel family! Murmurs ripple through the hall. — Abel Babel, son of our great sovereign King Aden III Babel, has just been born! Applause echoes. But I just watch everything in silence. The First Prince Beside the king is a boy a few years older. He watches me with curiosity. Short platinum-white hair, fair skin, and intense blue eyes. He looks almost… perfect. Royal Herald — The newborn is the half-brother of the heir to the throne… — First Prince Cain Babel! The nobles bow slightly. — Prince Cain was born with a great amount of mana and extraordinary talent for water magic. Some nobles whisper in admiration. Noble — A true prodigy… Another noble — The future of the kingdom is secure. Prince Cain continues to watch me in silence. The Second Prince The herald continues reading. — According to the traditions of the Kingdom of Tercia… — The second prince shall be granted a domain of his own. He raises the scroll. — Abel Babel will receive the Principality of Baby as his fief. The nobles nod. But there is still more. — To strengthen the kingdom's alliances… — The second prince is betrothed to Lady Avy Melden, daughter of Marquis Yrtey. Some nobles smile. — The wedding will be held in thirteen years. Abel (thought) Thirteen years… I'm literally being born right now and they've already decided who I'm going to marry. This world really is brutal. The Mark Suddenly… My hand begins to heat up. A faint light appears on my skin. Lines appear. Thin. Delicate. Like invisible threads. The priests' eyes widen. Priest — This is impossible… The mark forms completely. The design of a small marionette. Threads connected to the fingers. The hall falls silent. Priest (whispering) — The Mark of the Goddess Mary… — The Goddess of Puppets. Some nobles look frightened. Others look… intrigued. The king watches my hand in silence. Appearance of the Princes As the minutes pass, I notice something curious. Cain and I look alike. Short platinum-white hair. Deep blue eyes. Fair skin of the Babel lineage. But there is a difference. He looks like the perfect prince. I… I am the prince with a forbidden mark. The Voice Then… Something happens. A voice echoes inside my mind. Soft. Ancient. As if coming from very far away. ??? "Finally…" "The wielder of the threads is born." My vision darkens. The time seems to stop. "My little prince…" "This kingdom believes the throne belongs to kings." "But all of them… are just puppets." The invisible threads around my hand tremble. "And you…" "Will be the one who controls the threads of the throne." Final Thought My consciousness begins to fade. But one thought remains. Abel (thought) If this world is a stage… Then I will find out who really moves this kingdom. And perhaps… I will pull the strings myself.
