Even though monarchies no longer ruled Earth, some countries still had royal families.
They existed mostly as symbols, with no real power over their nations.
Still, their presence came at a cost—a massive cost.
Taxpayers often criticized them for living in luxury while contributing little in return.
Many believed they were nothing more than relics of the past, draining public funds to sustain their extravagant lifestyles.
Gellard was one of them.
Born into a royal family, he had never known hardship.
He was adored by his friends and surrounded by admiration wherever he went. Every week, he had a different girl by his side—none ever rejected him.
Because, really, who would?
He had never been denied anything in his life.
If he wanted something, he got it. If he set his sights on a goal, people around him bent over backward to make it happen.
But that kind of life had a price.
