Mariel Spark is prophesied to be the most powerful witch seen in centuries of the famed Spark family, but to the displeasure of her mother, she prefers baking to brewing potions and gardening to casting hexes.

Leon thinks he's finally made a breakthrough in his relationship with Noelle, even if Marie's still accusing him of being a total incompetent. But all Leon's resolve may come to naught in the face of the platoon of problems rocketing toward him.

Leon may have saved Noelle from a life in chains, but her future is far from certain. Bound as she is to the Sacred Tree Sapling, she is a prize for every nation in the world. Worse, Leon's fiancees disagree over her fate: does Noelle have a responsibility to serve a nation, or should she be free to choose how she lives her life? Meanwhile, Noelle's own villainess, Louise, faces the same dire question. It seems the Sacred Tree has demanded a sacrifice in exchange for continuing to protect the Republic--and it wants Louise.

Strong-armed into taking a break, Leon kicks back and relaxes with his three boisterous fiancees.

Until I spot the one human woman in the group who is definitely not pleased to see me. In fact, she's scowling at me. She looks really, really annoyed. I'm kind of into it.

But that smile and receding silhouette is hauntingly familiar, reminding Leon of his sister from his previous life. Can he really let Marie go?

Against his wishes, Leon keeps getting pulled deeper and deeper into these otome game plotlines. Somehow, he's ended up with the Guardian Crest of the Sacred Tree, which is supposed to manifest on the hand of the chosen love interest. But Noelle, the new protagonist, couldn't possibly feel such things for him, right?
