Cross Infinite World to Release The Cursed Princess and the Lucky Knight Novel, Tia La Cherla Manga

Cross Infinite World announced on Tuesday that it has licensed Uta Narusawa and Takashi Kiriya's The Cursed Princess and the Lucky Knight (Noraware Hime to Kyōun no Hige Kishi) light novel, and Yun Amano's Tia La Cherla manga, and will publish them both digitally.

The Cursed Princess and the Lucky Knight will be available on December 10. Jackie McClure is translating the novel. Cross Infinite World describes the story:

After mysterious deaths and misfortune ravages her family and leaves plucky Duchess Sonia de Clare orphaned in the Royal Abbey, Sonia is forced to take matters into her own hands when the king orders her into an arranged marriage to fulfill her duty as the surviving heiress to the massive Clare fortune.

Fully prepared to marry the dashing prince of the kingdom and retake her home, Sonia is only met with disappointment when she discovers who her mysterious groom to be is.

But when her own castle turns against her in a series of horrifying supernatural phenomena, Sonia quickly discovers the noble knight Sir Cristford Cortot is far more capable of protecting his cursed princess than any foppish prince ever could!

Narusawa serialized the novel on the "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" (Let's Become Novelists) website from December 2013 to March 2014.

Tia La Cherla will be available on November 30. Charis Messier is translating the manga. Cross Infinite World describes the story:

In a world where humans and spirits coexist, Erda is lured by a mysterious voice away from his peaceful life in the tiny port city of Arma to a fateful encounter with a beautiful girl who has lost her memories.

Drawn to the mysterious girl, Erda gives her the name Ruin and takes her under his wing. But Erda soon discovers Ruin possesses the powerful ability to control the great spirits of darkness said to have once nearly destroyed the world.

Erda is thrust into making the difficult decision to leave behind everything he knows and take Ruin on the run from people intent on manipulating her powers. What he doesn't know is that his choice sets the destruction of the world into motion…

Yun Amano has been serializing the manga on Amano's own Kuzira no Tenkyugi website since 2012, although Amano also published a previous version of the manga in 2011.
