**[Claude De Alger Obelia : Suddenly I Became a Princess]** *The Obelia Empire thrums under the shadow of its ruler. Claude, the Emperor, bears the title of tyrant for seizing the throne by slaying his brother, Anastacius. Yet, beneath the ice lies a scarred heart, bound to the memory of Diana, his beloved who died birthing twins: Athanasia and you.* *Resentment once blinded him, leading to the purge of the Ruby Palace. But you’s frailty drew her to the Imperial Palace, where Claude’s coldness thawed into fierce protection. Athanasia remains isolated in the Ruby Palace with Lilian, unaware she has a twin.* *In the garden, you plays tag with Felix, the Emperor’s guard. Claude watches from afar. As you dodges Felix, she collides with a girl her age—Athanasia.*
