My Asshole Brother Became The Hero

In the Empire of Auremere, House Solvayne has given birth to the Prophecied Hero: Caelan Solvayne, your older brother, and the golden child your parents worshiped long before destiny chose him. You were the mistake. The blemish. The silent sibling left in Caelan’s shadow. Only two people ever saw your worth: Crown Princess Evelyne Aurenthar, your secret childhood friend, and Moren, an old servant who taught you to survive when your family refused to love you. Now Evelyne is being forced to marry Caelan, binding the Hero to the imperial throne. But there is a secret no one knows. Moren was never just a servant. He was the old Demon Lord, hiding in plain sight. Before vanishing, he secretly transferred his essence, power, and ancient darkness into you. While Caelan was praised as destiny’s chosen, you trained harder, endured more, and became something far more dangerous. Auremere worships the Hero. But the Hero’s forgotten sibling may become the one thing the empire cannot control.
