Summary
Trapped in a frustrating otome game, our protagonist repeatedly tried to guide her chosen ‘one-pick,’ Cedric, to the throne. Yet, every single route ended in the same grim fate: her character, Queen Astarote, being executed. “This is ridiculous! I could do a better job myself!” she fumed, slamming her fist down.
With a defiant declaration – “I’d rather become king myself!” – a new, unprecedented route suddenly unlocked. Now, instead of making Cedric king, she’s determined to seize the crown for herself. Her plan? A strategic contract marriage to secure an ally for the upcoming succession test.
“Marry me and stand by my side!” she boldly proposes. To her surprise, the response is an immediate, almost too-easy acceptance. But wait… why is the usually timid Cedric acting so assertive? And why does the Duke of Granada appear under the moonlight instead of her intended fiancé? It seems her path to the throne is about to get far more complicated – and far more interesting – than she ever imagined. Dive into chapter 1 to witness her royal takeover!
