A princess overly-invested in bettering herself meets a traveling circus... this isn't your typical fairy tale!
Yui Wistaria lives a peaceful life. She has no massive achievements to speak of, unlike her elder siblings. Hiiro is taking on more and more duties, indicating a potential change of monarch soon. Hikari won a war of attrition against the odds and without assistance, making her the apple of the kingdom's eye.
Her three cousins are all decorated knights. Miho is particularly accomplished, living in the east as the empress of a massive militant empire.
When being compared to all of them, Yui stands out for being rather drab. Combined with her love for studying and personality of a wet blanket, she's known as the boring princess of Clarines.
But after a mishap with a faulty carriage door and her subsequent run in with the Happy Mask Circus, Yui's life is about to become a lot more colorful.
