A nineteen year old prince who paints butterflies, can't bluff to save his life, and recently lost his kingdom's entire historical record in under two hours - is being slowly, reluctantly, and somewhat accidentally shaped into a future king. His bodyguard is a walking statue with perfect hair who expresses the full range of human emotion through extremely subtle lip twitches. His father is a thunderstorm in a chair who is deeply tired but also, quietly, proud. It's a coming-of-age royal fantasy told by a Narrator who is snarky, self-aware, and occasionally too distracted to finish a sentence. Think The Princess Diaries meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell with the comedic energy of someone who has read too many history books and found all of them deeply funny. At its heart it's about a boy who was never supposed to be remarkable figuring out, slowly and somewhat catastrophically, that he might be. Also there's a goat. The goat is not the problem. Probably.

I will add TW if they are present in future chapters.

Esmeralda only wanted one thing- To chase after Rael, the crown prince, and hopefully marry him someday. But all that hope fade into nothing when she remembered everything- This world? It's from a novel she read in her past life. And her? Esmeralda Schuan, the villainess who gets dumped, humiliated, and eventually destroyed. No thanks. This time, she's not chasing the crown prince. Not fighting over love. Not ruining her life for a story that isn't worth it. She just wants to enjoy her rich and pampered life. But somehow... The more she tries to step away from the story and save her future- The more she realizes everything isn't what she thought it would be.
