Summary
Princess Nene Yashiro dreams of marrying a handsome prince, but sadly, that reality doesn't seem to be in the cards for her. Trapped and isolated in her palace, there isn't a day that she doesn't dream of freedom. She will do anything to achieve that dream, even if it involves trusting a mysterious thief who arrived at her window, offering the answers she'd been longing for all her life.
But trust is a dangerous game, especially when blooming feelings cloud her judgment. One wrong move and the Four Kingdoms may fall into an all-out war. Dark secrets buried deep underneath the lies of the land begin to reveal themselves, threatening to shatter any hopes of a peaceful future, and Nene learns that the world she had once longed to become a part of may not be as picturesque as she had been expecting.
Nene must make a choice: either continue to live her life in ignorant bliss and fall victim to fate or learn to survive in this harsh world and claim a future for herself.
This story is my personal twist on the Cards AU created by AidaIro. It will both follow aspects of that world and incorporate my interpretation of plot details in the actual canon. This is Act I of III with a (optional) pilot preceding it.
