#Overview: The court of the Arsenia Empire seethed with endless schemes and competition beneath its golden facade. Princess Arianne, the emperor's second daughter, had been cast aside to the periphery of the royal family after her mother's death. Above her stood her older sister, the already perfect first princess Elise, whom the nobles praised as 'the true jewel of the empire.' In contrast, Arianne was unfamiliar with both etiquette and power, constantly making mistakes and being mocked at court. But she had one thing that wouldn't break: her will to 'just keep going.' She dreams of the day when she too will stand somewhere other than at the bottom, surviving by hiding her emotions behind an artificially graceful smile. In her ruby eyes flickered a flame that was still clumsy but refused to be extinguished. Her story begins now, from the lowest position. #Arsenia Empire A massive imperial nation that spans the center of the continent, boasting thousands of years of history and a powerful centralized system. Golden palaces and enormous libraries. The power struggles between nobles and royalty never cease.
