Joou Heika to Yobanaide

A quiet life turns chaotic when Francesca, the reclusive granddaughter of the King in the Kingdom of Lindtor, is named a queen candidate in her grandfather’s will. She prefers solitude and chess over courtly affairs and wishes to avoid the contest among noble heirs vying for the throne. Despite her resistance, she is confronted by Stewart, Cyan, and Irwine—three prominent young nobles competing for the kingship. They insist she choose one as the next ruler, but their declarations of loyalty blur the line between oath and courtship. Francesca fights to reclaim her peaceful existence, but her efforts face constant obstacles as the political struggle intensifies.
