Nine years have passed since Mayume Amemiya was hidden from the limelight. After learning of her inability to use magic in front of the whole kingdom, Mayume was expelled from the palace and forced to the outskirts of the castle walls. But after so long, her family once again chooses her fate, enrolling her in the prestigious Royal Academy of Magic--even though she can't use any. Will her miserable humiliation continue, or is there light at the end of the tunnel? Will she regain her position as heir apparent and succeed to the throne? In the midst of her wavering strength, a female student transfers in with eyes the crimson of blood. Something is being planned, something that will bring chaos to her kingdom and the greater continent. Who is this strange girl? And is she a friend or foe? What to expect: Underdog Story, Fantasy, Political Drama, Yuri. Cover Art by me: @J_Kanokchan
