In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts". Prince, an innocent hearted prince of the Bourbon Kingdom, one day has his life thrown into chaos by betrayal, and inherits an "Artifact" that is the ancient spirit of "The Dark King". Through misfortune after misfortune, Prince eventually loses everything Starts life from scratch without a royal name. Prince vows to make his way back to the top hiding amongst the everyday people of France.

Prince is a Japanese style light novel based on Machiavelli's classic "The Prince". Although this work takes influence from it, the story, quotes, and characters are all completely original. It is mostly the concept of good and evil that is borrowed from Machiavelli.

The story is very mature, but doesn't feature any truly grotesque themes or content IMO. The tags are there for the descriptive language that follows these "intense" scenes that may be hard for a younger audience. After reading the first three chapters you have seen most of the explicit content of this story, at least as I have outlined so far. Also, this is not a traditional harem story, women have a very active role outside of love interests.

This is a very rough draft of a very rough story. It takes place during the French Wars, and the rule of the Bourbon Monarch, but this historical accuracy is definitely not 100% accurate. Keep that in mind if you happen to notice someone eating chocolate or drinking Bourbon in scenes. Two things that were generations away from being created.
