Ayane Kobayashi has been anticipating the release of "Prism Hearts Academia" ever since its preview announcement. Now with the well-received otome game in hand, she finds herself ploughing through each route for four-out-of-five male leads. There's the gentle Prince Charming, Chancis Ledestria. The fastidious and aloof heir of a duchy, Klein Kopas. The scheming yet strikingly handsome Earl, Mathers Welt. The cute, sociable knight in training, Alec Baudin. And the mystery final suitor said to be a common-born prodigious artist, Louis Van Thorpe. With only the last route remaining, a fatigued Ayane decides to save the finale for another day. At least, until she finds herself in devastation the next morning, possessing the body of Seira Kopas - a villainess from the otome game she was just playing. Prideful. Haughty. A brutal bully who trampled all over those she deemed lowly and dirty, whilst pining after the most powerful and desirable man among the love interests. The twin sister of Klein Kopas, who he never got along with. That very same Seira Kopas. To make matters worse, Ayane is approached almost immediately by a strange little fairy called Elpi, who tells her the only way to return to her world is if she completes the final route through Seira's body, saving the unfortunate Louis from a future of despair. Determined to make it back to her life in Japan at all costs, the imposter Seira accepts this quest. All she needs to do is get the mysterious Louis to fall for her, hard enough so that the tragedy Elpi claims to see in his future will never come to pass. It's like completing a quest in a game. How hard can that be? ──────── 𝐀𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥

23 parts Complete
**A future king claiming the woman he loves.** Prince Alexander, heir to the throne of Valleria, takes his duties very seriously. So seriously, in fact, that he's followed duty over pursuing the woman he's loved for years. However, now it's time for him to marry, and he's tired of waiting. He'll pursue her despite royal objections, and despite her own. **A commoner falling in love with a prince.** Rebecca Campo loves her work as chief of staff to Princess Catharine, her friend and Prince Alexander's twin sister. Alex is every woman's dream, and it comes as a shock when he seems to want her. Even after their passions overtake them, Rebecca still doesn't believe they're meant for forever because she's only a commoner, not a future queen. **An unexpected threat that can destroy them both.** When a death threat is made against Alex, the whole family goes on alert. What no one counted on, however, was Rebecca getting caught in the crossfire. This novel features an older virgin and the future king who wants her, a royal family that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls. This is a standalone book in the series with no cliffhanger. Emotional trigger warning: discussion of potential assault. **NOTE: This is the 'clean' version of this story! If you'd like the full sexy, sweary version, you can download it for free now. * * * Meet the Royals of Valleria, a country as old as the fall of the Roman Empire. The reigning king and patriarch rules with his beloved queen. Nine children, now grown, ranging from the eldest twins to the youngest son, watch over the country they love and care for. Bound by honour, duty, and loyalty, follow their lives as they fall in love, face tragedies, and triumph against the evils facing them.
