Description
【The first volume of the book will be released by TO Books on September 15, 2025】The direct lineage princesses of the Kingdom of Silvana inherit the blood of the Goddess Silvana and possess an evil-dispelling power that repels wicked things, making them figures of respect and admiration from all over the world.
One day, Emperor Andreas of the Soberion Empire, which boasts the greatest power on the continent, made an offer to take a princess of Silvana as a concubine. This was to save his sickly son, Prince Wolfram, who easily gathers miasma and whose life may end at any moment, as a nominal consort.
Since Andreas already had an empress with whom he was mutually in love, even if she became a concubine, she would not be loved by her husband and was destined to live out her life, neglected in the imperial palace, for Wolfram's sake. It was an extremely disrespectful offer, but considering the difference in national power, they could not refuse, so the Queen decided to offer Flora, the fifteen-year-old Fourth Princess among her four younger princess sisters, as a concubine.
However, Flora, desperate to refuse becoming a concubine, secretly consorted with the noble youths in her retinue, successfully became pregnant, and her body became unsuitable for becoming a concubine.
To the Queen, who was at her wit's end, the youngest Fifth Princess, six-year-old Gertrude, who had been excluded as a candidate due to being too young, made an offer.
“I will go to the Empire.”
Everyone pitied and praised Gertrude's plucky resolve, but Gertrude was not pessimistic about her own fate at all. On the contrary, it was exactly what she wanted.
(Now I can finally go to the Empire. A lazy life of eating, sleeping, and having three meals and naps awaits me!)
This was because Gertrude had the memories of Sakurai Kana, the eldest daughter who was forced to raise twelve younger siblings under abusive parents in a country called Japan, etched into her.
Such a Gertrude is attended by the grotesque Reshefmort, whose desire to care for others has gone awry, and a turbulent life, contrary to her desire to live a peaceful life detached from worldly affairs, begins――.
