Mana was a brilliant young lawyer working for the biggest international law firm in the world. With her prodigious talents, influential family and a perfect fiancé, her life was considered a dream come true…until a freak accident cost her everything. Or so she thought. After three years of being confined to a hospital bed, the man she had loved with all her heart told her about his betrayal as he slit her throat.

The next moment, Mana found herself in the body of a sickly ten-year-old princess of the same name, in a world she thought to be fictional. “The Legend of Mars” was an ancient epic chronicling the adventures of the divine King Mars and his virtuous wife, Queen Astra, and their triumph over the evil, half-demon emperor Raven. Princess Mana was the unfortunate half-sister of Princess Astra, who died at the age of ten…and somehow pulled in Mana’s soul.

And thus, Royal Princess Mana decided to make the best of her new chance at life and seek happiness. However, she soon found that what she had read in “The Legend of Mars” and the actual people she met were very different. Why was the divine child Mars an insufferable brat? Why was the virtuous Astra plotting nefarious schemes? Why did the brother of Mars look exactly like her traitorous fiancé of her previous life? And the meek little boy she accidentally rescued was actually the fearsome evil emperor …? But why on earth was he clinging to her and looking at her with puppy eyes?

The Evil Emperor's Fragile Heart

After the banquet ended, it did not take too long for the hall to be emptied out. Queen Carolina, King Jaren, Jules, Bella, Mana, Raven, Azar and Alya were naturally the last ones to leave.

Fox and Vanilla had stayed behind today as well, because they, too, wanted to meet the new baby dragon. The two of them had been busy touring the imperial capital city of the Sapphire Kingdom, so they had completely missed the arrival of the little white dragon Alya – and now that they had seen her at the banquet, both Fox and Vanilla had been enamoured. Both of them adored little Azar anyway, and now that adoration would extend to little Alya as well, they decided.

Azar introduced Alya to the couple very enthusiastically. "Alya, this is Uncle Fox, he is very clever and works with Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Jules and Auntie Bella! You can call him Uncle Fox, too!" he said happily.

Alya nodded shyly and greeted in a sweet voice, "Hello, Uncle Fox."
