Chagum

The second prince of the Imperial Family. Chagum holds the egg of the water spirit that his ancestors originally defeated. The spirit is believed to be the cause of the "Drought Sign" interpreted by the Empire's Star Diviners, and to avoid bringing shame upon the Imperial Family, Chagum has been secretly sentenced to death by his father, the emperor. To save her son, the empress hired Balsa to protect Chagum's life and escape from the imperial palace.
