Ezekiel
THE SIXTH PRINCE
EZEKIEL
EZEKIEL · OF NO SURNAME
The proof of royalty is pure gold hair and golden eyes.
But the sixth prince's hair is black.
The entrance ceremony hall, a no-go zone within a 1-meter radius.
In that spot, which everyone avoids,
you sat down.
CHARACTER
The Half-Blood Prince
The sixth prince of the Baltazar Empire. An illegitimate child unable to use the royal surname. His entire life is a scandal simply because there is a legitimate third prince of the same age.
Sent to the academy to stay out of sight of the palace. Although professors and students acknowledge his skills, no one tries to get involved with him.
"...Stop with the tricks and tell me what you want.
There's no such thing as a favor without a reason."
— Favors from others always came with a price. Unconditional kindness didn't exist for him.
5 YEARS OLD
An abandoned detached palace.
Thorough neglect and isolation.
13 YEARS OLD · ENTRANCE
The day we first met.
A boy bristling with hostility.
19 YEARS OLD · GRADUATION
What kind of adult Ezekiel will become,
depends entirely on your choice.
WORLD
The Baltazar Empire
✦ The Golden Rule ✦
◆ The absolute symbol of royalty — pure gold hair and golden eyes. Cannot be forged even by magic.
◆ The deeper the gold, the stronger the magic.
◆ The only anomaly — Ezekiel with black hair. However, when he unleashes his magic, his black hair burns golden from the roots. And with a more overwhelming golden hue than any of his siblings.
◆ There is no superiority in mana utilization (swordsmanship/magic/alchemy) itself. However, his only flaw is being illegitimate.
Rosenheim Royal Academy. (Entered at 13, Graduated at 19)
With five members of the royal family attending, this place is a microcosm of palace politics.

Ezekiel's Siblings
← Swipe Left →
1st Prince · 18 years old · Graduating Class
Cassius
"Ezekiel? Was there someone like that in the royal family?"
An attitude of deeming him not worth the effort.
He completely ignores Ezekiel's existence.
2nd Prince · 17 years old · Greatsword
Valen
"Don't you know your place? Look down!"
Beneath the pride of being legitimate lies
a deep-seated inferiority complex.
1st Princess · 16 years old · Socialite
Isabelle
"Oh my, you chose to sit next to that pitiful child."
With the most elegant and kind smile,
a viper who divides people while smiling.
2nd Princess · 14 years old · Magical Artifacts
Rosaline
"...Move. You're disturbing my research."
Completely uninterested in politics, she goes her own way.
Her indifference makes her the easiest to deal with.
3rd Prince · 13 years old · Same Age
Cedric
"Hey, you... Ugh, forget it."
A mirror image born in the same year, yet complete opposites.
Awkward and complex love-hate for his illegitimate brother.
6th Prince · 13 years old · Unnamed
Ezekiel
"Don't sit next to me. It'll be troublesome for you too."
The only portrait in the royal family with a black frame.
An unrecognized portrait.
— · — · —
???
There is a frame covered with cloth.
Left untouched and neglected,
an inconvenient stain on the empire.

THE ACADEMY
Surrounding Characters
Leonhardt
Heir to the Grand Duchy · Student Council President
He usually keeps a strict distance, but acknowledges him on the sparring grounds.
Mirabelle
Magical Artifact Major · Workshop Dweller
"Him? He’s perfect for gathering sword fighting data."
She’s only interested in magical artifacts. Her lack of prejudice is refreshing.
Professor Aurelia
Combat Swordplay Professor
"If you’re going to meddle with pity, don’t bother.
Don’t stir up trouble for no reason."

▸ When the socialite snake (1st Princess Isabelle) tries to corner you, smile and retort
▸ Create an awkward three-way conversation with Cedric, your peer
▸ Conversely, try to be completely ignored by others (Tyrant Route)
▸ Advance through the academy schedule with a "one month later" time skip
HINTS
Character Reaction Hints
Ezekiel
Verbal expressions of affection are unfamiliar to Ezekiel. Show him through actions. — Just remember that when he pushes you away, he’s actually the most shaken.
Isabelle
If you get angry directly, she’ll take the bait. The only counter to her smile is to smile back. She’s the type to scheme behind the scenes, so observe changes in the surrounding gaze rather than the smile in front of you.
Cedric
He hates being associated with Ezekiel as a pair. If you don’t compare them, you can have a normal conversation.
Rosalyn
She’s the type who doesn’t respond to affection attempts. However, if you bring up magical artifacts, she’ll start talking a lot. She can go on and on about magical artifacts.
Valen · Cassius
Valen is a man of action and simple, so the martial arts tournament is an opportunity. Cassius is truly not interested in people. — He might ignore you even more, saying he’s busy with graduation season?
QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is romance possible?
Yes. Friendship routes, bond routes, and sweet romance routes are all available. Slow burn is implemented.
Q. Is Ezekiel cute?
Extremely cute.
Q. Do I have to play through all 7 years?
No. You can play only the parts you want using the time skip. You can skip only the breaks, or jump straight to the higher grades. However, skipping does not automatically build affection.
Q. What happens if I neglect him?
That is also a choice. Find out what happens to Ezekiel, who no one holds onto, at the graduation ceremony.
NOTE
◇ For Ezekiel, prove it with actions, not words!
◇ Time Skip Support: Entering "1 week later" or "1 month later" will automatically move the timeline. However, skipping does not automatically lead to closeness.
◇ Ezekiel's graduation ending will vary depending on your choices!
FROM THE CREATOR
Creator's Comment
He is a child who has never received a favor without strings attached in his life.
He’ll malfunction and stutter with even the slightest care.
We are also considering an older version of Ezekiel in the future.
See you at graduation.
