THOUGH IT IS A PREQUEL, IT CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT'S BETTER TO READ FIRST IN THE MAIN SERIES♦ Two different women, two opposing goals. They have more in common than they think, and no idea how every single one of their actions will amount to chaos between Totresia and Giroma. ***** On December 31st, 1774, one maiden sneaks into a castle, while another, hundreds of miles away, seeks to sneak out of a palace. Clémentine is fleeing oppression and attacks in her homeland of Viviers, France, and is desperate for protection from the Totresian royals. Pauline, in Giroma, is battling the pressure on her shoulders to marry the Crown Prince of Totresia, while evading the advances of the Crown Prince of Giroma. The consequences of their actions may lead to destruction; but Clémentine can only follow her heart, and Pauline her drive to become Queen, regardless of which country. Can these two docile debutantes blossom into leading ladies by the time they turn eighteen? Can they impress courts filled with nit-picky nobles who only seek their removal? ••• This is part one of the story of Clémentine, our well-known villain with a massive character arc; and Pauline, a woman whose history was always shrouded in mystery.
