Aivy transmigrated into the body of a child. As soon as she arrived, everyone around her was dead.
A band of fearsome cavalrymen swung their long blades and slaughtered indiscriminately. Blood spattered across her face, and she was too frightened to move. As she stood there, stunned, a man with a longsword, snow-white hair, and a sinister smile approached her.
Aivy thought she was about to be killed too and squeezed her eyes shut in terror. Instead, the man picked her up.
"Your Highness, stop playing around. We still have a long way to go."

The man wiped the blood from Aivy's face and told her that the hostage princess sent by Vinos to Holy Light Norland had died on the road. To avoid harming the friendly relations between the two countries, he would have her take the dead girl's place and go to Holy Light Norland.
"You should be grateful for your long, black hair... and those eyes like obsidian. You look exactly like Princess Aivixia. Your black hair saved you, so now you'll have to become her."
Ivo told Aivy she had to memorize everything about Aivixia within the month-long journey and quickly learn how to behave like a noble.
"If anyone discovers you're impersonating a noble, you'll die horribly. So, Your Highness, don't get caught. Hurry up and wash away that slave-like air, and become a noble!"
Aivy was desperate, but she had no choice. Just as she struggled to memorize Aivixia's life story, the bracelet on her wrist rang out with a cheerful chime, and a search page appeared.
"The Encyclopedia is at your service."

This world has magic, as well as a strict class system: slaves, commoners, nobles, royalty (the Chosen), and gods, each with more power than the last. But where does Aivy, a foreign princess, fit into the hierarchy of Holy Light Norland?
Aivy's status was awkward, but the benevolent King of Holy Light Norland still gave his hostage princess a show of respect and allowed her to enroll at Brian Magic Academy.
Applicants had to undergo a test to determine which department they would be assigned to. Nine-year-old Aivy took the test and, to her dismay, showed no magical talent at all. With no other choice, she had to live in the abandoned school building and become a self-taught mage, left without anyone to supervise or teach her.
But the Vinos royal family is born with the talent for Azure Wood. As a member of the royal family, how could Aivy lack the Azure Wood aptitude?
"You're an impostor, aren't you, Aivy? You're not royalty at all."
Her lack of awakened talent brought trouble her way.
