The Princess Pretends To Be Crazy

The Princess Pretends To Be Crazy

When her tyrannical emperor father declared that only one heir would inherit the throne, Princess Lisbelle pretended to descend into madness to avoid becoming a target. For years, feigning insanity shielded her from danger. Now, with only three contenders left, Lisbelle found herself in peril once more.

In a moment of mortal threat, powers granted by the goddess Hellare awakened within Lisbelle. Suddenly, she found a charming magician had appeared before her. However, whether he intended to assist or sabotage her remained uncertain.

Lisbelle knew she must keep her wits about her to survive the political scheming and bloodshed to come. This new magical gift and encounter might prove fate’s way of balancing the scales, providing the means for her to defeat her foes at last. On the other hand, it could be happenstance, meaningless in the face of her bleak prospects.

Though longing for freedom from fear and the end of her forced charade of madness, Lisbelle dared not abandon her ruse just yet. There were still too many adversaries left who would swiftly strike her down, were the truth revealed. For now, she must tread carefully, discerning friend from foe and continuing the maneuvering this deadly game of thrones demanded.

Hope glimmered on the horizon but remained distant. The road ahead promised to twist and turn as sharply as the plot of some fanciful manga serial. All Lisbelle knew for certain was that her life hung in the balance and her fate remained unwritten. The final chapters had yet to be penned. She could only have faith that when the dust settled, she would remain standing as more than just a mad princess in name alone.
