Seishen Daji enters the Cradle series as the volatile second prince of the Seishen Kingdom, a brash and arrogant Underlord whose wolfish demeanor and twin swords mark him as a dangerous rival. Across the later volumes his aggression and royal entitlement repeatedly place him at odds with Lindon’s rising faction, culminating in catastrophic losses that strip him of status, family, and future prospects. By the series’ end, Daji’s unchecked pride has transformed him from a privileged heir into a broken exile whose personal failings mirror the kingdom’s own decline.
