Princess Valery of Vesperia is a cheerful hardworking woman with a massive saviour complex that strikes at the most inconvenient times. So when she has a chance encounter with a potentially dangerous masked stranger with a bad sense of direction, her first instinct is to be unnecessarily helpful. Then her life takes a completely unexpected detour when she finds out that someone had nominated her for the Prince of Astanza's upcoming Courtship. A broadcasted event where the last girl remaining gets to become the Queen of an empire. The most beautiful, talented and accomplished girls from all over the world apply, but only 50 will be chosen as Nominees. Valery considers herself none of those and does not understand why her name was even on the list. Unfortunately the whole world seems to be conspiring against her, because despite the suspicious circumstances surrounding her nomination, her uncle actually insists that she participate in the occasion. So, she resigns herself once more to the King's whims and tries not to be too resentful about it. Fortunately she has her masked stranger, who she strikes and unexpected friendship with, to anonymously confide her injustices to. As fate would have it, the masked stranger is the very prince she will be competing for in a few months, but what she doesn't know can't hurt her right?
Right?

Chapter: You're a Nominee Valery IIValery burst out laughing. “What? I’m sorry, uncle, but I thought I heard you say that I was nominated for a Courtship.”How absolutely ridiculous!Valery enjoyed the broadcasts as much as any other person who enjoyed trashy romance dramas, but she had absolutely no desire to actually participate and she was certain that she would have remembered if she had sent in an application to the damn thing.“Valery. That was what I said. You were the last name on the list of candidates. As a Civilian nomination.” The King spat out the word like it was a curse.Valery’s jaw dropped .“What? How? A Civilian nomination? Who?”She was at a loss of words.The K

Chapter: You're a Nominee Valery IValery let her sisters guide her to the royal family's private living-space-cum-dining-hall while listening to their complaints with half an ear. The rest of her focus was on the palace staff flitting around them. She tried to keep her observation as subtle as possible, but she knew she was unsuccessful when Solarys tugged on her coat sleeve with a concerned look on her face. “Valery? Are you listening?” Valery offered her sheepish smile. “I’m listening, Sola, don't worry. You were just telling me about how the terrible Ms. Archibald got you both punished for bringing a spider to class.” “We were,” Solarys agreed, but the frown on her cute little face remained. “But, something is bothering you. What’s wrong, Valery?” Solarys had an uncanny talent for observation and a strong sensitivity to others’ emotions since birth. A skill she clearly inherited from their late mother, who Valery remembered being able to read people like a book.

Chapter: The Unfortunate Case of Messy Rooms and Broken DoorsThe rays of the morning sun warmed the cool autumn air that seeped through the open arched stone windows of the old palace hallways which have yet to undergo the renovations that the more lived in sections have received. There were sounds of construction in the distance and a low buzz of activity with palace staff members flitting around in a flurry of cleaning and completing assigned daily tasks. It had taken effort, but Valery had managed to make its back in record time and minimal damage to her body, despite crashing hard into a pole somewhere in the beginning of her sprint. After formally informing a palace Staff member of her arrival, she had headed to her room to shower and change. She switched out her sunglasses for her proper ones and slipped into a pretty pink long sleeved dress and slipped on her favourite leather boots. Her hair was still wet from her shower when she left her rooms with the intention of seeing her sisters, who were located all

Chapter: The Meeting that Started it All Valery adored spending time in the Market Streets of Vinora. The Market Streets of Vinora were a series of streets in the capital city of Vesperia that were lined with both stores and small stalls selling products that ranged from the most basic bottle of water to the most obscure ancient tomes on demonic beasts and enchantments. It was still early, so while there were still people walking around, most of the people were street vendors and store owners who had just opened their doors. It was later in the day that the streets truly came alive, when the street performers, musicians and artists would set up and share their talents openly, garnering the attention and patronage of market-goers and tourists. Valery herself could be convinced to spare a few dollars if she thought someone was exceptionally talented. Even so, from dawn till dusk, there was never a dull moment to be experienced in the Market Streets. Valery was aware that she should be head
