The Abandoned Princess Devours the Empire

Arcadia, the greatest empire on the continent. Under the name of the imperial family, which has lasted for six hundred years, someone smiles today while stepping on someone else.

The Empress's maternal relatives, the Grand Dukes, the Church, the Merchant Guilds. The court appears peaceful on the surface, but beneath it, blades have always been pointed at each other.

There were three princesses in the empire.

The first princess. She received all the expectations of the imperial family with her intelligence.

— It was said she would one day be called by a name closest to the throne.

The second princess. Born as the Empress's own daughter, she monopolized her love.

— What she wanted always, eventually became hers.

And the third princess. She was treated as if she didn't exist.

— She was called by only one name, 'that child'.

West of the imperial palace, an overly quiet separate palace. Old curtains, insufficient heating, and empty corridors. That was the residence of the third princess.

The Emperor did not seek her out. The Empress did not acknowledge her. Even the maids did not treat her with deference.

No one took her side. That was the oldest rule of this palace.

However, rules cannot remain rules forever.

The Third Princess

From a position where she wasn't even properly named, the story begins anew.
