My Engagement Was Called Off Under False Accusations, but Who Ever Said My Face Was Ugly Beneath the Mask?
Authors: Neneko Kobato and En Nekogawa
The refined daughter of a duke strikes back against the bizarre charges put on her…with the help of her dear brother, of course!
Catia has always hid her face under a mask during her days at the academy. Now, right in the middle of the graduation party, her fiancé the First Prince calls off their engagement, accusing her of being as mean-hearted as her ugly appearance.
But he should’ve thought twice, because after all, whoever said beneath the mask was an ugly face?
The Princess of Blue Roses
Authors: Yukiya Kamikawa and Gorogoromikan
On the day of her execution, Vyaria wakes up to find time has reversed itself, making her seven years old again. Thinking of the events of her future, she is truly traumatized.
Her first marriage to King Cain had been a cold and unhappy one. Each time she made an attempt to get closer to him, she had been faced with rejection, and the sudden appearance of a girl from another dimension had only increased Cain’s hostility towards Vyaria. Behind her back, everyone had called her the “Blue Rose Princess,” after the flower that symbolizes unattainable wishes.
Knowing she would eventually be sentenced to death by her own husband, Vyaria is terrified when she is once again united with the young Cain. Is everything going to repeat itself? Is there really nothing she could do to change the future?
As scared as she is, Vyaria vows to fight against her cruel fate in this second chance at life…!
