J-Novel Club has licensed both the light novel series and its manga adaptation and is releasing them in English. J-Novel Club describes the story:

When Lady Elianna, a lover of books, sees Prince Christopher, her fiance in name only, who is dating another noble lady, she realizes that the recent rumors must be true. The prince has someone he truly loves, which means the cancellation of their engagement is both inevitable and imminent. What she doesn't realize is that this is just a superficial ripple, one of many where truth runs deep, in a conspiracy beyond her imagination!
