Summary

Prince Damian of Vesuvia wants nothing more than to while away his time with his tutor Julian. But the kingdom is falling into bankruptcy, and Damian has no choice but to marry the ruler of a distant kingdom, the Majestro Asra, in order to save Vesuvia. Meleia, a seamstress working at Lord Valerius' Fine Clothing Emporium, wants nothing more than to be a singer. But she's trapped under Valerius' thumb, and she must work to ensure that her fellow seamstress Volta has enough to survive.When Count Lucio hatches a plot to take over the kingdom, Damian and Meleia's lives become thrown together in a way they would never have expected. Basically it's "What would happen if the Arcana characters lived the plot of Barbie's Princess and the Pauper?" with a few twists... and, hopefully, detailed enough for any reader, even those unfamiliar with the original stories! Loosely inspired by various tumblr posts.
