There was once a little girl who was born with all the things she ever wanted in life.
Her father was the Grand Duke of a powerful city, and her mom was a powerful mage who was also the emperor's sister.
Every day, she enjoyed her hometown, wandering around with her younger sister and the head maid.
As she grew older, she was forced to move from her hometown to the capital to enroll in the best school.
Excelling in her studies, she soon became the best mage of her entire grade level.
Just as she was given the chance to further her studies as a mage, her dad suddenly received an invitation.
It was a letter from the emperor to attend the Prince's coming-of-age banquet, with specific instructions to have both of his daughters come.
The father knew the invitation was more of a selection to find a suitable wife for the emperor's son.
