Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion Volume 2: Special Edition with Dust Jacket and Sprayed Edges (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789347195747)

The original isekai fantasy romance light novel behind the hit anime adaptation--Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion Volume 2(Special Edition).

With the whirlwind of incidents behind them and their promised deal fulfilled, Raeliana McMillan believes she is finally free. The near-death encounters and political maneuvering should end here. All she must do is step aside, end their fake engagement, and return the story to its rightful course. To do so, our strong heroine must find the novel's true protagonist, Beatrice, and guide her to Duke Noah Volstaire Wynknight.

At least, that was the plan.

But when the woman who should appear never shows, everything begins to unravel. In Beatrice's absence, new bonds quietly take root, and Raeliana becomes painfully aware of the hollow ache she feels around Noah--an ache she can neither explain nor ignore. Their contract marriage was only ever an act, a carefully staged illusion, nothing more... so why does letting go feel so unbearably heavy, like losing something real?

When Raeliana declares their contract over, Noah refuses to let her go. The impeccably poised duke, once so cold and calculating, has no intention of surrendering her, even if it means navigating dangerous royal court intrigue to rewrite the story itself. As Raeliana struggles to keep her emotions in check, destiny begins to falter, and the mystery behind Beatrice's disappearance deepens, drawing her and this dangerously charming male lead toward a future neither of them was meant to claim. With their hearts moving out of step, what will become of their relationship?

Perfect for fans of the hit anime adaptation currently streaming worldwide on Crunchyroll, Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion Volume 2 heightens the intrigue and intensifies the romance. Discover the next chapter of the global phenomenon that has captured the hearts of over 72 million readers worldwide, as a life-saving contract threatens to become something far more binding--a witty, dangerously intimate push-and-pull between two people daring to defy their fate.
