A new year brings new troubles when Elianna eschews her fiancé's attention in favor of spending the holidays with her first love. Prince Chris, none too pleased by the snub, leaps at a chance to corner Elianna's affections once more—only, why does this bibliophile princess insist on being taken to the opera? Furthermore, why does she seem to be acquainted with the songstress? To uncover the truth, Chris and Eli must turn back the clock and unravel the mysteries of a masquerade ball—with a fairy princess, a passel of pesky suitors, a masked prince, and all!

Reviews

[R.]

A little over a year after reading the full published series at this time, I came to find this new gem and that there is at least one more volume planned in the manga. This is a much softer series overall, and this volume has a lot of fluff. It's rather cute when Eli realizes exactly what happened at the previous masquerade, though her obliviousness outside of her books and overall knowledge could potentially get her in trouble. Fortunately, she has a lot of people looking out for her, even if one of them is an overly enthusiastic prince that she's conveniently engaged to. The banter about what Eli would like to read next is also funny in a way, though the topics might be a little too racy for how innocent Eli is at the moment. Most of Eli's time that we see is either with Chris, her family, or books, so the lab scenes are an amusing change of pace, even if Chris might be losing his mind in jealousy.
