the monster and the princess story
Alicia Rosalyn Von Heist is the youngest daughter of King Edward of Alvannia. She is an illegitimate child born from a maid in the castle her father has fancied. After her mother died when she was young her father took her home and ‘adopted’ her. Because of her low birth and illegitimacy she was neglected by her father the king and bullied by her stepmother the queen and her step-siblings. When she was 16 years old a war broke out with the neighboring country of Grandcrest. The war lasted for two long years and the two countries have made a truce at the end. The Grandcest empire demanded a princess to be married to the young king. It is said that the king of Grandcrest specifically asked for the hand of Alicia. Alicia was 18 years old when she was sent to Grandcrest as the fiancee of the young king who was said to be a cold blooded evil tyrant, King Regaleon of the Grandcrest empire.

Love the story, love the fights, love the development, and absolute love the writing style. If I could change one thing it would be the princess, she makes the story go soooooo slow, it's killing me to keep reading. Human to monster, monster to monster... It matters to the mc but it takes away sooo much of the fights, exploration, new skills, parts, and mechanics. THE AUTHOR'S EASY WAY OUT.
