Ruri Morikawa is now spending her days in peace with Jade in the Nation of the Dragon King... That is, until they receive word that Emperor Adularia has fallen ill and requires a panacea made from dragon blood. Jade readily sends the elixir, but it proves to be ineffective. Adularia's condition only worsens, and curiously, her symptoms bear an uncanny resemblance to the illness that took the life of Quartz's mate, Seraphie. What could it mean?
Hana's had her hands full. She's keeping her husband's advances at bay, sent a terrorist organization packing, saved the school from destruction, and rescued her twin sister from the clutches of their terrible parents! At this point, flying under the radar is simply impossible. News about her has spread far and wide, finally reaching the ears of an Obsidian rank practitioner named Yukizasa Sankourou. He's an old friend of Saku's and is vehemently opposed to his buddy's marriage to Hana. He won't stop at just voicing his opinions either, he's willing to meddle and he's not above teaming up with the Ichise parents in their continued efforts to get Hana out of the picture.
Ever since Ruri’s marriage to the Dragon King, Jade, her every day has been filled with happiness. The couple decide to go together to the annual meeting of the four biggest nations in the world, held in the Nation of the Spirit King. There, Ruri runs into a mysterious stranger vying for her hand, as well as a local noble’s daughter who claims Jade is her fiancé! To top it off, not long after Ruri visits the forest where the sacred beasts dwell, one of their cubs goes missing. Now that Ruri’s the last person to have been to the forest, rumors abound that she’s the kidnapper! Will Ruri be able to clear her name and settle the matter of Jade’s would-be fiancée, or will this trip spell the end of her blissfully married days?
Ruri, racked with guilt over deceiving the kind people of the Dracodom about her true form, sinks into despondency and lies around doing nothing all day--until she hears Nadasha is finally sending its armies to attack...and that Asahi will be taking part in the battle. She convinces Jade to let her go to the battlefield to see for herself, but the person she finds there is nothing like the childhood friend she remembers...
Hana has kept her recently emerged powers a secret from her condescending family. However, the new head of the clan, the beautiful and powerful Saku Ichinomiya, makes Hana into his bride to help strengthen the barrier of a pillar that protects Japan. Now, Hana's powers are being tested by Saku's family, and she's even met with harassment at school!
Long ago, Japan was protected by five crystal pillars. Though eighteen-year-old Hana Ichise was born to one of the branch families that defend the pillars using supernatural abilities, she has lived in the shadow of her brilliant twin sister, Hazuki, from a young age. When Hana finally awakens to powers of her own one day, however, she opts to hide them out of a desire to complete her high school education in peace. That is until Saku Ichinomiya, the arrogant yet powerful head of her family's primary branch, falls for Hana and forces her into signing a marriage contract with him. But can Hana rise to her true potential under the wing of her husband-to-be?
Now that the war with the Kingdom of Nadasha has come to a close, Ruri Morikawa can kick back and enjoy the rest of her days in peace...that is, until another nation's Beloved is attacked! The Nation of the Dragon King finds itself forced to take the Beloveds of two other nations under their protection. As if breaking with convention isn't enough, the two are also a handful! One of them is spoiled and self-centered, while the other is hard-headed and strong-willed. Can Ruri and the others handle both these two unexpected guests, as well as the assassins targeting the Beloveds?!
Ruri Morikawa manages to survive the assassination plot devised by the Church of God's Light and the pair of fake Reapers—leaving the castle of the Nation of the Dragon King in disrepair. With reconstruction underway, Ruri takes a trip to the Nation of the Beast King by suggestion of their Beloved, Celestine. With their efforts to find the Church of God's Light coming up empty, the rather egotistical Spirit of Fire, a supreme-level spirit, shows up at their doorstep. Will things proceed to heat up in the Nation of the Beast King? Or will they get too hot to handle?
"Ruri Morikawa was summoned to a different world along with her 'childhood friend,' Asahi. Exiled from Nadasha, the nation that summoned her, she ends up living in the Nation of the Dragon King. Working a part-time job, attending tea parties--her life seems pretty fulfilling... That is, until Nadasha declares war. Asahi, convinced Ruri is held by the Nation of the Dragon King against her will, plans to stand on the frontlines as the Priestess Princess. Can Ruri convince her errant 'friend' to call off the war before it's too late? And what is Nadasha planning, given they've never won a war before?" --Amazon.com
