"Out of Place"

If that phrase were a person, it would probably be

this individual.

Iris Frederica.

She is the Princess of a kingdom located between the North and the South.

However,

Princess gowns do not suit her at all, she was born with handsome features, and she was surrounded only by brothers.

The older she got, the more she grew up being called a Prince rather than a Princess.

But there was a problem...

Namely,

May I propose to you?

Um... would you care for a dance?

For the sake of diplomacy, an arranged marriage...

Princesses keep proposing to her!

It was a bizarre situation where a princess was receiving proposals from other princesses.

Furthermore, 90% of them were women with no feelings who just came after hearing rumors.

Fed up with these proposals, the Prince... no, Princess Iris took only a few servants and tried to live freely in the deserted North, but...

"Guest, our kingdom is..."

Is this for real? Is it really going to end like this?

My kingdom, which used to be the finest in the South, is on the brink of collapse.

To make matters worse, the man I call my father has sold me off.

He told me there's a Northern Grand Duke in the North, and that I should go propose to him.

If I succeed, it's good for the kingdom. If I fail, I'm just abandoned.

I don't even know if that Northern Grand Duke actually exists! He's just a rumored Grand Duke, that's all.

I've been trapped in this carriage for three days now, and the cold is trying to gnaw at my cheeks.

This is driving me crazy. As a princess of the South, this is a disgrace.

Fortunately, a castle has come into view. So he does exist after all?

Now that it's come to this, I must propose!

The carriage finally arrived in front of the castle.

'Please...'
