Synopsis
Noble Sylph dreams of becoming a librarian, defying her arranged marriage and royal destiny through books.
Hailing from a ducal family, Sylph Biebel has a duty to marry Prince Mikhail Luxborn and someday rule the nation. But Sylph dreams of becoming a librarian, an impossible goal for a lady of her station. Yearning for the freedom her beloved books provide, she often sneaks into the royal library, posing as a commoner. There, Sylph befriends Kanna Copierne, a fellow bookworm who shares her passion for literature. Their friendship blossoms over their mutual love of stories, though both harbor secrets about their true identities. As Sylph navigates the rigid expectations of noble life and her predetermined future, she finds herself drawn to the world of books and the freedom they represent. But when circumstances take a dramatic turn, Sylph's path leads her beyond the palace walls into an unexpected journey where she might discover that even a lady bound by duty can write her own story.
