The Little Witch and Her Dad

Reborn as a five-year-old girl inside the pages of a novel, Mariette has known nothing but a life of constant flight. She and her mother, Yurie, have spent years fleeing from the imperial temple’s relentless witch hunt, desperate to keep the child safe. Tragically, their harrowing journey comes to an end when the very mana coursing through Yurie’s body consumes her entirely, leaving Mariette orphaned and alone in a hostile world. Before passing away, Yurie entrusts her daughter with a solemn promise: she must find and watch over Duke Descartes, a powerful and composed nobleman who is fated by the original story to become a mere slave to the temple. Determined to rewrite this tragic destiny, young Mariette sets out to protect the man she now calls her father. However, altering the course of a novel is no simple task for a child, especially one hunted by the empire's most formidable institution. To survive and change the duke's grim fate, Mariette relies on the guidance of Koon, a dedicated witch protector assigned to keep her safe. With his help, she must learn to awaken and master her own latent magical abilities before the imperial temple can claim her new family.
