After surviving several assassination attempts, Carolina finally makes it to her wedding day. Being the first royal marriage in decades, the ceremony is a grand and beautiful affair set to be broadcast across the empire. But when Prince Edward refuses to consummate their marriage and leaves on a months-long quest to exterminate mana-beasts, old insecurities rear their ugly heads. Though Flora is worlds away, her dark shadow continues to loom over Carolina’s consciousness.

But then, Prince Edward sends Carolina surprising news: the mana-beasts have seemingly disappeared, but nobody can figure out why. This allows the newlyweds to finally go on their honeymoon, but it’s to be spent in Count Kissinger’s domain—a situation that leaves Carolina’s handmaiden, Marisa, less than thrilled. Can Carolina use this opportunity to rewrite her story and prove her life can be different from before? And what truths might she uncover about her ever-loyal handmaiden along the way?
