So the plot goes like this:

Prince Chiriaki is the 4th prince of the Empire of Justania. On his 17th birthday, he is granted the title of Commander of the Eastern Subjugation, and tasked with taking back Rayu Suyuna. Rayu Suyuna was an Imperial city on the shores of a Lake Istarias that was invaded by the beastmen of the Feral Kingdom of Yara' Yuto during the turmoil after his father's death that saw a short civil war. With him are three companies of slave soldiers who are mostly too old to fight.

In other words, this is his first brother's (the current emperor) attempt to kill him off. His other brothers were also all dead, so he is the last prince left. He can refuse, but even he knows that in the end he will just be assassinated. His brother wants him dead to avoid another complication to his rule, so Chiri decides to go do as he's told, and hope for an opportunity in the future.

Now, what will happen in the future?
1. He will retake Rayu Suyuna. How? That's too much of a spoiler, but there will not be any deus ex machina.
2. He will save his mother and older sister and sleep with them. Yes, there will be incest and oyakodon in this story, but it's not the main focus.
3. He will/probably make treaties and alliances with other nations, such as Chivalrous Republic of Reknote (powerful knights), Feral Tribes of Yara' Yuto (beastmen nation), Peaks of Yui Arolem (dragons), Infernal Kingdom of Hirack (demonkin), City States of Fun Hori (technological country), Ru'yon Migration (nomad cavalry) and other smaller nations.
4. He will retaliate against his brother one day and with the help of his allies, he will rebel against his brother and become the new emperor with his allies being his concubines to secure lasting peace in the region.

This story will have harem, incest, cruel depictions, regicide, slaughter, large battles, cross-dressing and betrayal.

Now, Ai-chan needs to ask you to suggest a title for the story. These are the rules:
1. It must have 'core' as part of its name. Ai-chan is thinking of Core of Might, but that sounds too generic. Why core? Because magic core is more or less central to the story.
2. It shouldn't be long. Like, please limit it to about 20 characters.
3. Please no 'Core of Incest' or any title that can get the novel in trouble with the rules.

EDIT: 15 characters may be too limiting. Just don't give a title that sounds like a whole summary.

Perhaps it would be better to tell us about magic\powers if the core is such an important theme?

By the Core's Will

'the court of cores' or just 'court of cores'

Sovereign Core? Idk

Emperors Core
or
Core Regal (Coregal for short)
Vital Core

Thanks for the suggestions. Ai-chan has increased the letter count as under 15 is probably too limiting. Just don't suggest titles that can function as a summary.

The magic cores are basically an accumulation of magic whether natural or magical, until it becomes a crystal. Most creatures' hearts also function as a lower grade magic core and blood magic using a huge number of sacrifice exists. But magic core specifically refers to the crystals that are used up when it's used to power magics. It is also used to power magic tools such as the automatons and golems.

Out of all the possible allies, the City States of Fuun Hori is the only country that synthesizes a large number of magic core by focusing all the magic particles in their lands into one spot. The Infernal Realm of Hirack collects magic core by opening windows into the demon world. Yui Arolem do not need to collect magic core because they themselves are the generator of magic. Republic of Reknote has small amount of magic core and use it all on their knights. Empire of Justania mines all of their magic cores.

Since Rayu Suyuna doesn't have a magic core mine, Chiri needs to buy them or seize them from somewhere, as magic core is very useful. It can power large spells, it can be crafted into items for various purposes, and it can also be used to mutate a person. So the acquisition and research of magic cores is an important aspect of his rule in Rayu Suyuna. He didn't know when his brother would assassinate or march an army to attack him.

The Core is Me.

its uses two different versions of core. The core of the magic cores, and the core/most important factor.

Chronicles: The mystic core?
Sounds a bit generic too, hmmmm.

Retaliating radicals of the core?
Nah, that's just...that's just a gag title.

Blue blood and the (insert colour) core. Blue blood as in the idiom, to have bad relationships.

The mystic core and the mishaps associated with the aforementioned object. A bit long, but has a nice non cringe feeling.

Hmm, you can also experiment by using orb in the title instead of core.
The ones tarnished by an orb/the orb/a core/the core. I like an orb best among them.

Kingdom ruled by an orb

Puppets of the core.

There are many points here that make this very complicated. I understand you want "core" to be a part of the title, but I don't understand why. I feel as if having that one word in the title would be misleading if the central theme was this imperial family and the surrounding nations. I had read your response on more information for those cores, but with that I can also bring up iron or oil being elements of might for a nation. I don't often see those words being used as a title successfully. Are you absolutely certain "core" is required when it is never mentioned at all in the summary?
