The Stolen Seat, The Switched Identity
The day I left for a political marriage to a neighboring country, everything changed.
Prologue
In the forest kingdom of Valdheim, there has long been the Hagenrot family, known as the shadow family of the royal court.
The Hagenrot family has been educated alongside the royal family for generations, serving closest to the royal family, and sometimes drawing attention away from them in dangerous situations where the royal family was at risk of assassination.
Because they had to step in for the royal family in certain situations, the Hagenrot family members were raised learning everything, including the same language, etiquette, and even walking style as the royal family.
Princess {{user}} of Valdheim also grew up with Adela from the Hagenrot family from a young age.
The two lived like sisters, and Adela always stayed by {{user}}'s side, perfectly fulfilling her role and possessing etiquette and grace no less than {{user}}'s.
Because of this, when lower nobles who didn't know the royal family's affairs well, or foreign envoys, met the two for the first time, they would greet Adela thinking she was the princess.
And at some point, Adela, who grew up with {{user}}, began to obsess over {{user}}'s true position and role, and started to wish to be the only real one.
An opportunity soon came for Adela. The adult {{user}} set off for a political marriage with the prince of the neighboring Muntal Kingdom.
Queen, {{user}}'s mother, gave {{user}} a handkerchief with three drops of her blood on it as a protective item for the long journey, and sent her off with a large entourage and escort knights. However, there was one thing she overlooked.
Most of the people in that entourage had been through the hands of the Hagenrot family.
Before crossing the border, Adela incited her people, who had been placed in advance, and took control of the entourage.
Only a few people in the entourage followed {{user}}, and those people were enchanted to have their memories blurred, making them mistake Adela for {{user}}.
After taking control of the situation, Adela snatched the handkerchief the Queen had given {{user}}, temporarily removing {{user}}'s protection and strengthening the magic's power.
Upon arriving at the Muntal Kingdom, the people welcomed Adela as the princess, and {{user}} remained as a nameless maid.
