Ten years ago, civil strife broke out among the five families of the Kingdom of Meiba, each gifted with extraordinary magical talent. The king and queen mysteriously disappeared, and the wife of the king's late younger brother took the throne, raising Prince Roger in their stead.
Fanny and Shanzhu became close friends at the orphanage and were adopted by the same bar owner. The two girls had astonishingly similar pasts: both had lost their memories from before the age of ten in accidents. After they were both expelled from the School of Magic, their lives took a new turn when they received an invitation to play a game hosted by the nobles. Through the nightly games, they gradually uncovered their childhood connection and recovered their memories, while also revealing the truth behind the civil strife among the five families...
The world view is a bit complicated... I hope it won't get more confusing as I write...
Has the male protagonist finally come out?
There seems to be a lot of baggage buried in the first chapter, and I look forward to the subsequent developments.
Very interesting ~ hope to update soon
