EP1 — The “Useless Noble” Everyone Despises

Kingdom tensions continue rising as the King becomes increasingly anxious about the lack of powerful young mages capable of defending Aurelia. During this unrest, Lucian, the infamous son of Count Valewyn, behaves exactly like the empire’s most embarrassing noble failure. However, while the nobles ridicule him in public, a mysterious mage secretly appears in the streets and effortlessly saves commoners from foreign magic users. The contrast between Lucian’s useless reputation and the hidden protector immediately raises suspicion about who he truly is beneath the surface.

EP2 — The Appearance of the Rose Knight

Grand Mage Kyle investigates the mysterious savior and concludes that the hidden mage may actually be the legendary “Rose Knight,” a figure believed to possess overwhelming magical talent. Meanwhile, the King becomes deeply concerned about Princess Isolde’s upcoming marriage tournament and secretly instructs Kyle to investigate Lucian’s real abilities. Although Lucian still acts like a spoiled aristocrat in public, the growing tension surrounding his identity makes it clear that many people are beginning to suspect there is more behind his careless behavior.

EP3 — Lucian’s Hidden Hatred

Inside the Valewyn estate, Duke Garrick publicly humiliates Lucian through harsh punishment while Morgana pretends to defend him as a loving stepmother. Roland takes every opportunity to mock Lucian further. Yet beneath Lucian’s quiet obedience lies years of hidden resentment. Flashbacks reveal that fifteen years earlier, Lucian secretly overheard Morgana poisoning his birth mother. Since that moment, he has hidden his real intelligence and power, waiting patiently for the perfect chance to take revenge against the people who destroyed his family.

EP4 — Kyle’s Secret Examination

Kyle secretly visits noble families across the kingdom to test the young competitors preparing for the royal tournament. Most participants fail to impress him, including Roland, whose swordsmanship only barely earns an A-Class evaluation after Kyle easily suppresses him during a surprise attack. At the same time, Morgana and Roland privately discuss ending their fake kindness toward Lucian once the inheritance is secure. Kyle eventually turns his attention toward Lucian himself, curious whether the so-called empire’s greatest wastrel might actually be hiding terrifying power.

EP5 — The Man Behind the Rose Bath

Kyle sneaks into Lucian’s bedroom late at night and discovers him enjoying an extravagant rose bath while pretending to notice nothing. Completely convinced Lucian is harmless, Kyle becomes distracted after spotting a priceless magical treasure crystal inside the room. Driven by greed, he steals the item while internally mocking Lucian for being too weak to deserve it. However, Lucian intentionally allows Kyle to leave, continuing his useless noble act until the exact moment he decides to reveal just how dangerous he truly is.

EP6 — The Rooftop Battle

On the rooftop, Kyle unleashes powerful frost magic to overwhelm Lucian, expecting an easy victory. Instead, Lucian instantly identifies the weakness in Kyle’s spell formation and destroys it effortlessly, shocking the Grand Mage for the first time. Kyle finally realizes Lucian is the same mysterious figure who secretly protected civilians earlier. Even after using the stolen crystal to strengthen his magic, Kyle is completely overpowered and sent crashing backward. Lucian calmly reclaims his property, proving his true abilities are far beyond ordinary nobles.

EP7 — The Tournament Order

Princess Isolde openly criticizes the royal marriage tournament and especially despises Lucian’s disgraceful reputation. However, Kyle suddenly returns to the palace injured and urgently informs the King that Lucian possesses monstrous strength capable of surpassing every young mage in the kingdom. Excited by the discovery, the King orders all talented nobles to participate in the tournament, including both Valewyn brothers. Back at the estate, Morgana and Roland secretly celebrate Lucian’s forced participation, believing the dangerous tournament will become the perfect opportunity to eliminate him forever.

EP8 — The Kingdom Laughs at Lucian

As the royal tournament begins, nobles and officials openly ridicule Lucian and predict he will surrender immediately once battle starts. Lucian lazily plays along with the insults, even casually asking whether surrendering early is allowed. While the crowd mocks him louder than ever, the King privately struggles to decide whether Lucian’s incompetence is genuine or carefully staged. Kyle, however, firmly guarantees Lucian’s hidden strength with absolute confidence. Meanwhile, Princess Isolde coldly dismisses Lucian entirely, convinced he will embarrass himself in front of the kingdom.

EP9 — The Cowardly Performance

Lucian faces Cedric in the opening match, and the audience assumes the battle will end instantly. Under pressure from Garrick to at least die honorably, Lucian instead behaves like a complete coward. He stumbles around the arena, pretends to lose balance repeatedly, and finally waves a white handkerchief to surrender publicly. The spectators erupt with anger and humiliation at his pathetic behavior. Yet just as everyone reaches peak frustration, powerful visitors from the northern kingdoms suddenly interrupt the tournament and completely shift the atmosphere inside the arena.

EP10 — Threats from the North

Three northern princes arrive dramatically and immediately begin insulting Aurelia’s strength and political stability. Their arrogant words imply future invasion and conquest, enraging the royal court. Although tensions rise dangerously, the King accepts their participation in the tournament to preserve national dignity. Kyle quietly warns that the alliance between the northern kingdoms may be preparation for war. As pressure mounts across the kingdom, the King starts wondering whether Lucian’s hidden abilities could become the only force capable of protecting Aurelia from the growing external threat.

EP11 — Bjorn Crushes Everyone

Prince Bjorn steps into the arena and completely dominates the competition. Cedric’s magic is effortlessly absorbed by Bjorn’s rune armor before he is violently defeated. Tristan suffers a similar humiliation moments later, leaving the entire audience speechless. Bjorn even openly insults the King and the kingdom itself, proving how little he respects Aurelia’s power. With national pride collapsing in front of the crowd, Roland reluctantly steps forward to challenge Bjorn personally, hoping to restore some honor to the royal family and the Valewyn name.

Lucian’s hidden identity is becoming harder to conceal, and the entire kingdom is slowly beginning to realize that the so-called useless noble may actually be the strongest mage alive.
