31-banme no Okisaki-sama

Every noble lady dreams of becoming a royal consort—provided she isn’t the thirty-first. Holding the lowest rank means dwelling in the most dilapidated quarters, attended by the fewest servants, and, most cruelly, granted an audience with the king only when the calendar reads the thirty-first of the month. For Felia, however, this arrangement is ideal. With no interest in marriage, she far prefers getting her hands soiled among her beloved herbs than competing for royal favor. Yet when the king at last pays his scheduled visit, Felia begins to wonder whether winning His Majesty’s undivided attention might be more appealing than she ever imagined.
