I Will Give Up the Position as the Empress

Adelheid was once the Crown Princess of the Kotrov Empire, destined for a life of prestige and authority. However, her own mother strips away that privilege, treating her as nothing more than a political bargaining chip to be married off to Emperor Karl Ulrich Echmont of the distant Echmont Empire. With her future decided by someone else's ambition, Adelheid crosses borders expecting very little from her new existence. Yet the harsh reality awaiting her proves far bleaker than she ever anticipated. In the unfamiliar court of Echmont, Adelheid finds herself entirely isolated. Her new husband views her with deep suspicion rather than affection, while his concubine, Diane, harbors a fierce jealousy that makes palace life even more treacherous. Surrounded by distrust and hostility, Adelheid realizes she cannot rely on her title alone to survive. She must carefully navigate the dangerous political landscape, forging crucial alliances among the courtiers who might offer her protection. Beyond the intricate web of imperial politics, Adelheid carries a closely guarded secret: she possesses hidden magical abilities. As a mysterious threat begins to rise within the empire, she is forced to quietly harness these powers. Balancing the perilous demands of courtly intrigue with the need to wield her magic in the shadows, Adelheid embarks on a desperate journey to secure her place and protect her fragile new world.
