Donning a precious keepsake dress made by her mother, ex-selfish-princess Mia throws open the doors to the ballroom and prepares to confront the swirling conspiracy threatening to swallow the whole of Sunkland. It is here that the Crown Prince Sion is prophesied to be fatally poisoned by his younger brother, Echard. The death of either brother would surely lead to ruin, so Mia needs a plan to avert disaster. After considerable (by Mia standards) thought, she devises a brilliant (again, by Mia standards) scheme. It’s time for Operation Keep-Sion-Dancing-So-He-Never-Has-a-Chance-to-Drink-Anything! Unsurprisingly, her plan falls flat almost immediately, as the myriad factions and players in this game of power are hardly willing to sit idly by and allow her to interfere with their goals. When she’s up against Sion’s burden of justice, Echard’s inferiority complex, AND Sunkland’s complex political background, can Mia lead everyone toward a better, brighter future?

戦装束（形見のドレス）に身を包み、元わがまま姫ミーアは舞踏会の扉を開いた。変化した皇女伝によれば、今夜、第一王子シオンは弟エシャールに毒殺される。兄と弟のどちらが命を落としても、未来は破滅へと向かうだろう。思いついたのは、「シオンをダンスに誘って、何も口にする隙を与えない」作戦！　だがその夜会には、反女帝派による、とある企みが隠されていて——？
