【To be released by Kadokawa Beans Bunko on October 1, 2025!】The Kingdom of Chevran possesses rare gem resources, which are protected by its king, a descendant of the Sea God, making it an absolutely inviolable territory.

The neighboring Balring Empire to the west, coveting these resources, reportedly threatened, 'Hand over your princess, or we shall invade.' They likely aimed to acquire the gem resources by incorporating the blood of the Sea God into their own nation.

Hesitant to hand over his four-year-old princess, the King sought the help of the 'Witch of Time.' With her aid, he had an eighteen-year-old ducal lady (of royal lineage) with the same hair and eye color rejuvenated to the age of four, and decided to present her instead. Thus, Juliana Rozier left her country as the neighboring empire's crown prince's fiancée. Enzo, a person transported from Japan to this other world and Juliana's bodyguard and attendant, actually knows that this world is an otome game and that Juliana is the villainess. Moreover, he proudly proclaims Juliana to be his 'oshi' (favorite character) and accompanies her into the Empire. Her fiancé is Volkhard Balring, famously known as the 'Ice Crown Prince'. He is the strongest ice magic user, capable of freezing anything with a mere touch. Although he is cold in both demeanor and words, as he interacts with Juliana, his behavior gradually begins to change in strange ways...?
