The Prisoner of War Princess Returned as the Duke’s Fiancee

SUMMARY

“I will never forget this humiliation! The Goddess Adelia will surely punish you all!”

Princess Elysia, the cherished jewel of the Adellium Empire, is taken prisoner following a surprise attack by the Kingdom of Fortron.

Imprisoned in a tower and on the verge of being violated by Prince Eric, she ultimately throws herself from the tower rather than submit to him.

When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself in the room of an unfamiliar noble lady.

In the mirror stands a woman with pale features and light pink hair.

She has returned to the past—before the war began—and into the body of Reina Gwynes, a frail young noblewoman.

But something is wrong.

Everything is just as it was…

Except Princess Elysia does not exist in the Adellium Empire.

Confused by a reality too impossible to believe, Elysia struggles to make sense of what has happened. Yet soon, one determination gives her the strength to rise again:

This time, she will not lose everything in vain.

Fortunately, Reina had once been the subject of marriage negotiations with Kairos Tristan, the Northern Duke and a celebrated war hero. Elysia eagerly pushes forward with an engagement to him.

But the man who is supposed to be her fiancé leaves after visiting her bedside as casually as though he were merely checking off an overdue task, showing not the slightest interest in Reina herself.

“I hope you remain in good health until our wedding, at least. I have confirmed that your condition has improved considerably, so I shall take my leave.”

“W-Wait! You’re really just going to leave like this?”

And yet, as she refuses to turn a blind eye to the harsh realities of the North and sincerely strives to help its people, the engagement that began as nothing more than a political arrangement gradually transforms into a fateful bond…

A second life.

A changed world.

And a marriage that was never meant to become love.
