J-Novel Club publishes the light novel series and Yona Etou's manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:
Lady Carolina, the overlooked daughter of a powerful duke, has always believed herself to be the black sheep amid her illustrious kin. Her father is the distinguished prime minister; her elder sister, a prodigious mage destined to become their nation's next Saint. In comparison, Carolina resigns herself to a quiet existence in their shadows until a sudden and unexpected royal decree alters her destiny, thrusting her into a political marriage with the formidable “Bloodthirsty Prince” of the neighboring Empire of Malcosias.
Almond originally released the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's Be Novelists) website, but removed the story from the website in May 2022. Earth Star Entertainment began publishing the series in print with Yoshiro Ambe's illustrations in June 2021, and released the fourth and final volume in June 2023. J-Novel Club has released the entire novel series in English.
Etou's manga adaptation launched on the Comic Earth Star website in April 2022, and is ongoing.
