In the Aloysia Mining Kingdom, three princes are contending for the throne.

The brilliant First Prince, the handsome Third Prince, and... the unremarkable Second Prince, Fried.

Lacking noble bearing and good looks, his abilities are also unexceptional.

Ignored by his father the King and disliked by his mother the Queen, perhaps due to his gentle nature, he nonetheless commands a fair degree of respect from others.

Though it's an almost hopeless battle, he wishes to somehow secure his standing for the sake of his vassals and best friend...

"The First Prince and Third Prince are dead."

"By process of elimination, you are the Crown Prince."

"...Huh?"

"The Queen's relatives are habitual embezzlers!" "Are you kidding me!?"

"Military invasion of the allied nation!" "Stop it!?"

"This girl is your fiancée!" "I already have a fiancée!!"

"Let's just kill everyone now." "Nooo!?"

Fried, constantly at the mercy of his overly uninhibited vassals and nobles, will he be able to safely reach his coronation ceremony!? The Prince is utterly unable to fight back.
