A bit out of topic, but I got a description in my head and I'd want someone to help me remember the title.
It has a fantasy setting, and the characters are mostly royalty in a castle. 3 brothers (princes), the main hero being more of a bastard son, hated by others on the castle, but loved by his siblings. Also, one little sister that we later know is being poisoned. There are also some hated race that's only distinguishing factor was either red eyes or hair and are being mostly enslaved. Don't remember which ones. Somewhere in the beginning the king was killed (or died from poison), the older one also, the two younger brothers witnessed it and run away. The bastard one run away, met a bard that is something more than a bard, and the younger one stayed in the castle, learned the truth and was about to become the new king. He was supposed to be controlled by drugs, but is secretly scheming with one of the "bad" guys. The main protagonist lands couple times in female clothes. No magic, robots or super powers involved as far as I can remember. There are also "rebel" forces hiding in the forest made of that other race.
