He gives off a gentle facade which belies a more cunning and ruthless side, willing to do anything to get what he wants, even assassinating his own siblings, though in fairness this is less due to selfishness and more due to believing he is the only one of the three of them who could serve the good of the kingdom.

## Chronology

### Light Novel Volume 01

After Marquis Tryton du Diento's death, he attended a meeting with his siblings and father at the royal capital to discuss the consequences of the noble's death. He believed that the marquis's death was the work of the elves as he heard rumors that the marquis was capturing elves and selling them to the eastern empire. His half-brother Dakares though maintained that was merely hearsay. Sekt insinuated that his brother rejected the claims against the marquis was due to being aware of the misdeeds of the deceased Tryton.

Their argument was eventually broken up by his father who wanted the family to focus on repairing their nation's relationship with the Great Canada Forest.

After the meeting, Sekt met with his mother Lefitia Rhoden Sahdiay to discuss about Dakares's scheming with a priest named Boran from the Holy Hilk Kingdom.

Together with the priest they made plans to dispose of Sekt’s half-sister. Once the priest left to carry out the plan, Sekt's mother voiced her concerns about killing the princess as it could backfire. Sekt was confident that the priest would carry out both their goals. After that he would eliminate Boran's influence in the Kingdom before moving onto his brother Dakares and then the Diento family.

To take care of the threat his sister represented, Sekt arranges with Duke Coraio du Brutios for his man Kaecks to a eliminate her party whilst they are traveling to Limbult.

However the force was delayed by a pack of Haunted Wolves. Not only that Prince Sekt managed to orchestrate a rebellion in Houvan, by having the citizens kill Count Fulish du Houvan, one of Dakares supporters.

Before Dakares could plot his next move, while in Olav, word reached him that the Etzat Market was being attacked by beastmen. While the general went out to handle the situation. his son Cetrion was charged with Dakares's safety. What was suppose to be quick path to a safehouse, Dakares was led into an ambush by Sekt's own allies. He himself was stabbed in the heart by Cetrion who was revealed to be loyal to the First Prince. To cover his death, Sekt devised a lie stating that Dakares was plotting to assassinate him and was forced to kill him in self-defense. To make the story believable, the First Prince planted evidence on Dakares in the form of Yuriarna's ring which one of his subordinates gave him after he orchestrated her assassination. He intended for dead brother to take the fall for her death, and even had Cetrion injure his own arm as proof of his fight with Dakares.

### Light Novel Volume 03

With Dakares dead and blamed for the death of Yuriarna and attempted assassination of Sekt, it would have left the prince to become the heir apparent of the Rhoden Kingdom.

However before the parties could act, attacks on the town of Wetrias occurred. It was suspected by Gaulba Revlon Selziofebs that the attacks were the work of the eastern empire, seeking to draw first blood before Prince Sekt could take the throne and formalize relations with the western empire.

In addition, Sekt's plan to become sole heir was undermined by his sister who had miraculous survived her assassination and continued her mission to open peace talks with the Great Canada Forest. Upon speaking with a representative of the elves, Fangas Flan Maple, the princess pointed out that if Sekt gained the throne of the Rhoden Kingdom, he would be have her kingdom enter arms with the very nation that had driven the dwarves and elves to the brink in the past. While such a future was not positive, Fangas agreed to pass her proposal to the elders to debate on the matter to support the princess.
