In a world where power defines status and promises shape authority, Shin is born as the second prince of an Empire. Raised in isolation and burdened by noble expectations, he grows up unable to form meaningful connections or find purpose within the life chosen for him. Everything changes when he awakens the ability to read minds. What should have been a gift only deepens his distrust of others and pushes him further from the world around him. Sent on a journey to learn what it means to be worthy of nobility, Shin is expected to seek influence, allies, and power. Instead, he longs for only one thing: freedom and the right to live by his own choices, no matter the cost.
