Once a catamite to a noble, Jean grew up and returned to the imperial capital of Joachim as Duke of Erhardt. In the dying days of the empire, Jean Erhardt paves the way for a new world. All the while, he searches for his Little Pearl, the mysterious benefactor who granted him freedom and altered his fate. At a grand banquet filled with the empire's elite, Crown Prince Maximin recognizes Jean's hidden past—a secret that could destroy Jean's plans. "I wonder how many there are who would remember a boy from a decade ago. I wonder who would remember a boy who wasn't even in their own household, or recognize the man he had grown to become... [...] Objects of beauty do not escape my memory." In exchange for his silence, the prince demands Jean serve as his muse for painting.
