In a world where a "Ranking of Kings" scores the strength of the world's kings, Bojji, the first prince of the Bosse Kingdom, is a physically weak boy who cannot hear or speak and can barely swing a sword. Those around him scorn him as "no vessel for a king."
Yet Bojji is kinder than anyone, and he never gives up his great dream of becoming the world's greatest king. Before him appears Kage, the last survivor of the Shadow Clan. Foul-mouthed but warm-hearted, Kage becomes Bojji's very first friend.
