The Margrave's Daughter & the Enemy Prince

Anna, the daughter of the Margrave of Halmich, has long resented the rigid expectations imposed upon women within the royal court. Rather than pursuing an arranged marriage to a nobleman simply because society demands it, she dedicates herself entirely to mastering the sword. Her deepest ambition is not to become a dutiful wife, but to stand beside her father on the battlefield as a true warrior. However, fate shatters her plans when the hostile Kingdom of Albion launches a devastating invasion. With the Halmich heir captured by enemy forces, Anna is offered as a political tribute to the Albion prince in exchange for her brother's life. Stripped of her freedom and thrust into the heart of the kingdom that threatens her home, she finds herself surrounded by the very people who have upended her world. Yet even under these desperate circumstances, Anna refuses to surrender her spirit or her blade. Beneath the guise of a compliant offering, she harbors a fierce resolve. She intends to use her position as a tribute to infiltrate the enemy ranks from within, driven by a singular vow: to strike down the man responsible for her father's death.
