The Archduke Conference has come to an end, but Ehrenfest’s archducal family is still reeling from the fresh troubles it brought. As if a surprising ceremony and the Sovereign temple’s schemes weren’t unusual enough, Rozemyne manages to deliver the killing blow with a truly unexpected announcement:

“My current adoption is being nullified, and the king will take me as his daughter instead.”

Chaos ensues, but what is done cannot be undone. Rozemyne has one year before she must depart for the Sovereignty—one year to tie up so many loose ends—but she needs not act alone. “Forge ahead and never lose sight of who you are,” her noble mother Elvira tells her, watching affectionately as her daughter prepares for the road ahead.

There’s so much to be done in the newest volume of this biblio-fantasy! Those in Rozemyne’s service have an important choice to make, and their decisions will open doors for the future.

Includes two short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina.
