The Intriguing Premise: A Fated Political Marriage
The new manga promises a captivating love story centered around two individuals whose lives take an unexpected turn. At its heart is Mirrika, a count's daughter, who might seem unremarkable at first glance. Her life is irrevocably altered when she is betrothed to the second prince. However, this is no fairy tale engagement to a future king. This prince has suffered a significant fall from grace, having lost his standing in a brutal political strife.
