The Unwanted Princess Marian Eve Goddarm
After the tragic death of her mother, Empress Eve, and her younger brother, Persiane, Marian becomes an unwelcome presence in the imperial palace due to the influence of the Wingka faction, which has seized power by the emperor’s side.
Eventually, she faces the grim reality of being sold off as a tool to produce noble heirs.
“Who do you wish to marry?”
As a father, the Emperor bestows her one last favor by allowing her to choose her own husband.
Only one name comes to mind—her childhood friend and unrequited love, David Cromwell.
However, the kind boy she once knew is long gone.
“You say you’re unwell. What exactly is the matter?”
“My head aches constantly. My knee is injured as well.”
“I see.”
Due to a certain incident, David has closed his heart to her. While staying at a convent to pray for the emperor’s health, Marian returns to the Cromwell estate to recuperate, only to fall victim to a poisoning scheme.
Realizing that even the Duke’s estate is not safe, she resolves to inform David of the danger.
Venturing into his private study, she stumbles upon a forbidden tome that should not exist in this world…
