I gotta say folks, this has been a one Helluva read that you do not want to miss out! I like the fact it shows the real deal of being a royal when it comes to the succession, like this manhwa wasn't sugarcoating anything with the royal family in this story. So basically from the very beginning , we see a woman, Catherine (?) being executed because she's been accused of being a witch and it said that she cursed the royal family for revenge (?). On the other side of the story, we see a cute little jester (apparently he has no name) who is so dedicated to Princess Verona (and apparently has a crush on her since childhood) and her sister Princess Lux. Of course as time goes on, the battle with the two sisters arises as their father has basically mental health issues and is not performing his duties. You'd feel sorry for him! I was so pissed off at Princess Verona for hitting the Jester because yeah he doesn't want to pick sides and for god sakes, being a leader isn't that important if you're a psycho! However I just was still invested in this story like I wasn't expecting what was happening like wow guys, it's wild stuff! The art, story, characters, everything involved is clearly worth experiencing and I rarely share this in other reviews!
