It was first published 2018.In a World… where almost everyone has a twin, the few who are singleborn are considered special, having been granted the right to rule by the gods and goddesses. People who've lost their twins are "diminished", and considered lesser, particularly if they survive their twin's death.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bo Trousillion is the great-nephew of Queen Runa of the Alskad Empire, one of the singleborn of his generation, and his great-aunt's chosen heir.

The Diminished / int_322f6b34	comment	Angsty Surviving Twin: All diminished are believed to be this, to the point of murderous insanity if they survive long enough. It's actually a deception created by the temple via Psycho Serum.

The Diminished / int_80621707	comment	Arranged Marriage: After being proclaimed Crown Prince, Bo, to his surprise and consternation, is immediately engaged to his cousin Penelope. Only for Penelope to die in a factory explosion that may have been an assassination. It's implied that the engagement was arranged by his mother and the Queen in part to conceal the fact that Bo isn't actually singleborn.
