Description
Arnold Lakes Adler is the seventh prince of the Adrasia Empire, a powerful nation on the continent of Vogel. He is the elder twin brother of the eighth prince, Leonard Lakes Adler. To the public and the rest of the imperial court, Arnold is widely known as the "dull prince" or the "insipid prince," a young man who is considered incompetent, lethargic, and inferior to his younger twin in every way. He spends his days lazing about and playing, an act that has led the entire empire to ridicule him and dismiss him as someone who will never be a contender for the throne.
Beneath this facade of listlessness, however, lies his true identity. Arnold is secretly one of only five SS-class adventurers in the world, operating under the alias Silver. In this hidden role, he is recognized as the most powerful prince, a master of forbidden ancient magic. His personality is characterized by a calm, cunning, and manipulative nature, allowing him to solve complex problems from the shadows without revealing his true capabilities. His primary motivation is not ambition for power but a desire for survival. Observing the increasingly dangerous battle for the succession among the emperor's children, he decides he does not want to die. Consequently, he resolves to secretly maneuver events to ensure his younger twin brother, Leonard, becomes the next emperor.
In the story, Arnold plays the role of a master strategist and hidden operator. He is uninterested in the title of emperor, yet his actions are the driving force behind a significant portion of the story's conflict, as he orchestrates a secret struggle for the throne from behind the scenes. A key relationship is with his twin brother, Leonard, whom he supports and aims to place on the throne. Another important figure is Finne Von Kleinert, a cheerful daughter of a duke who acts as his childhood friend and a merciless knight. Throughout the series, Arnold maintains his dual identity, never breaking character as the inept prince while leveraging his immense power as Silver to eliminate threats and guide the succession war toward his preferred outcome. His notable abilities include manipulating forbidden ancient magic and combat skills that rank him among the top five adventurers in the world.
