Synopsis:

After a disastrous encounter with a nobleman, Myne finally decides to say goodbye to her family and friends in the lower city, changing her name to “Rozemyne” and starting a new life as the adopted daughter of the Archduke of Ehrenfest. However, her days as an aristonoble in noble society are brutal, with rigorous training in etiquette and magic, in addition to her responsibilities as High Bishop and overseer. All of this would be too much for a fragile seven-year-old girl… or would be, if the High Priest hadn't offered the keys to the temple's book room as a reward. With access to these treasures, she could read countless precious books! Though her name has changed, Rozemyne's passion for books remains the same as she navigates this new world. The detailed setting expands as the printing industry grows. Thus begins Part 3 of this bibliofantasy made for book lovers everywhere!

Kazuki began the original novels on the website " Shosetsuka ni Naro " in 2013 and finished the web novel in 2017. You Shiina illustrates the print edition.
