King's Proposal

Saika Kuozaki stands as the most powerful mage in existence, capable of halting catastrophic annihilation factors that threaten to destroy the world. Despite her immense status as headmistress of a prestigious academy for mages, she faces a personal crisis when forced into a marriage contract with Mushiki, the prince of the kingdom. This union serves no romantic purpose but acts as a political necessity; Mushiki needs a wife who can protect the realm from destruction, while Saika seeks a partner who will not interfere with her duties or life.

The story unfolds through the comedic friction between a powerful, somewhat aloof female protagonist and a prince trying to navigate a world where he is often overshadowed by his bride's strength. Rather than relying on traditional romance tropes where the male lead is the protector, the narrative explores themes of duty versus desire and the burden of power. Their relationship builds on mutual dependency and sharp wit, offering a fresh take on fantasy romance dynamics. [edit]
