Chronicles of an Overlooked Royal
After reincarnating as Lady Aracelis Liora Venides, the second daughter of Duke Venides, Aracelis expected a life of freedom, and ease. Once an orphan in her previous world, she thought that being born into nobility would mean endless adventures, delicious food, and cozy days in the palace library. While some of those dreams have come true—watching knights train at daybreak, getting lost in the vast library, and napping on her impossibly soft bed—Aracelis quickly learns that being a noble isn't all fun and games. It comes with strict rules, endless etiquette lessons, and a reputation to uphold.
Her older sister Amara, the perfect daughter, has already captured the attention of the court, leaving Aracelis to deal with the pressures of being the "other" daughter. Her days are spent learning about everything from the proper use of forks to the perfect way to hold a goblet, all under the watchful eye of the severe Viscountess Eowyn. Though Aracelis would rather spend her time sneaking out to explore the duchy’s forests or read her favorite books, she finds herself trapped in the expectations of noble life.
But instead of searching for grand meaning or some hidden destiny, Aracelis has a different goal in mind—she just wants to enjoy her new life. She wants to explore the estate, read to her heart’s content, and avoid the stiff decorum that comes with being a noble. For now, her biggest challenge is surviving the endless etiquette lessons and slipping away for a bit of freedom without the watchful eyes of her tutors or her sister catching on.
Aracelis doesn’t need a grand purpose—she’s just looking for a bit of fun and adventure in her second chance at life.
