Description
Lloyd de Saloum is the seventh and youngest prince of the royal family that rules the Kingdom of Saloum. He originally lived as an ordinary commoner sorcerer in the same world, consumed by an obsessive desire to master magic despite having little natural talent. After dying in a duel, he was reincarnated while retaining all memories of his past life. As a result, he grows up with the knowledge and experience of a seasoned magician, but now occupies a body born into royalty. This unique position gives him access to vast resources, forbidden texts, and a level of innate mana that even terrifies demons. Despite being only ten years old, Lloyd possesses an enormous amount of magical knowledge and practical ability that far surpasses most adult mages.
Lloyd is driven by an unrelenting curiosity and passion for sorcery. His entire personality revolves around the study, refinement, and experimentation of magic. He has no interest in succession to the throne, romance, or political affairs; all his desires are directed toward learning and perfecting magical techniques. He approaches magic with a playful, sometimes reckless enthusiasm, often conducting dangerous experiments or seeking out ancient spells and forbidden arts. Despite his overwhelming power, he remains humble in his own estimation, viewing himself as a perpetual student of the craft. At the same time, he is generally kind-hearted and approachable, though his immense abilities can intimidate those around him. He is fiercely protective of his family, his kingdom, and his friends, and he shows a strong sense of responsibility when threats arise.
In the story, Lloyd serves as the protagonist whose journey is not about claiming a throne, but about achieving absolute magical mastery. He systematically masters various forms of magic, including elemental sorcery, ancient demonic arts, martial mana manipulation, and holy magic. Along the way, he inadvertently resolves kingdom-shaking crises that his siblings struggle to handle. His exploration of magic often leads him into conflict with powerful demons, rival mages, and ancient evils. He views each encounter as an opportunity to test and expand his abilities.
Key relationships define Lloyd’s development. His closest companion is Grimoire, an ancient demon who once nearly destroyed Saloum before being sealed in a forbidden book. After Lloyd accidentally releases him, the prince overwhelms Grimoire with his power and forces him into a contract of obedience, turning the demon into a small winged familiar. Grimoire acts as a reluctant mentor and tactical advisor, frequently horrified by Lloyd’s reckless experiments, yet gradually grows loyal and protective. Another important figure is Sylpha Langlis, Lloyd’s personal maid and tutor, a former elite knight known as the Silver Blade Princess. She is deeply caring but rigorously strict in training, largely unaware of Lloyd’s true magical level; he goes to great lengths to hide his dangerous activities from her to avoid her discipline. Lloyd’s eldest brother, Prince Albert, is the heir to the throne and a capable mage who recognizes Lloyd’s extraordinary talent and supports him. Other siblings include the fourth prince, a blacksmith, and the sixth princess, an animal-loving sister. Lloyd also builds bonds with other characters such as the Qi-using martial artist Tao, the poison-using assassin Ren, and the leader of the Blighted, Jade.
Lloyd’s development is marked by his growing understanding that raw power must be tempered with responsibility. Over the course of the series, he transitions from a purely self-focused researcher to someone who actively protects his allies and kingdom. He learns to cooperate with others, refines his control over volatile abilities, and continues to push the boundaries of what magic can achieve. His ultimate goal remains the perfection of his magical art, but he comes to recognize the value of the relationships and obligations that come with his princely status.
Among Lloyd’s notable abilities are his mastery of nearly every magical discipline, his skill in creation magic that allows him to invent new spells or modify existing ones, and his combat prowess that lets him overwhelm powerful demons and armies alike. He is also proficient in alchemy, artifact creation, and the manipulation of mana on a fundamental level. His knowledge extends to ancient and forbidden magics that most practitioners have long forgotten. Despite his young age, he is one of the most formidable magical beings in the world.
