Risou no Himo Seikatsu - Volume 4 Prologue

She has been drawn into the life of the phoenix, such fate – “The Emperor Swallow”, but few days later she married the Prime Minister; she possesses beauty that overthrows cities and ruins states but also has a talented and virtuous mind, yet her husband is deeply in love with the Emperor’s doted consort. On their wedding night, his face filled with guilt, says to her: Apart from love, I can give you anything……

The world, because of this beauty, is in chaos; but who is it that this beauty charmingly smiles at?
