Second Life on the Red Carpet

Baedith has lived a life borrowed from the pages of a book. Reincarnated inside the novel *Princess of the Twilight* as the devoted knight of its royal heroine, she has faithfully followed the story from its opening chapter all the way to its final page. Now that the tale has reached its conclusion and the curtain has fallen, she finds herself wrestling with a question the original book never answered: what is a character supposed to do with her life once the story is over? Before she can find an answer, fate intervenes. Baedith opens her eyes one morning to discover that she has been hurled back in time, waking on the very first day of her reincarnation. More astonishing still, Princess Rosenne—the royal charge she has served all this time—has been sent back alongside her, sharing the same bewildering leap through the years. Stunned but resolute, Baedith listens as Rosenne boldly declares this to be their second chance. Casting aside her confusion, Baedith reaches a fateful resolution: this time, she will not simply replay a script that has already been written. Together with her princess, she will forge an entirely new ending—one that neither of them will ever regret.
