Plot

[edit]

The series follows Elizabeth Leiston, the daughter of the prime minister of the Kingdom of Haldoria, and the crown prince's fiancée. One day, he suddenly breaks off the engagement and imprisons her. Angered by the betrayal, Elizabeth goes into exile and seeks revenge against Haldoria and those who wronged her, forming an alliance with the Yutear Empire.

Characters

[edit]
Elizabeth Leiston (エリザベート・レイストン, Erizabēto Reisuton)
Voiced by: Saori Ōnishi[1]
A young woman from a noble family, she was engaged to Haldoria's crown prince until he betrayed her. She forms an alliance with the Yutear Empire and starts a trading company there, with the ultimate aim of seeking revenge against her betrayers. While living in Yutear, she goes under the alias Ellie Leis. She has abilities called the Seven Grimoires, which she uses for her own purposes. After the betrayal, she adopted a spirit named Alice as her daughter and now has no interest in getting married or in romance.
Mireille Katarina (ミレイ・カタリア, Mirei Kataria)
Elizabeth's maid, who remains loyal to her even after Friede breaks off their engagement. Mireille serves as Elizabeth's trusted partner.
She unintentionally sparked Elizabeth's plans for revenge, after encouraging her to abandon the kingdom; leaving it to self destruct without her to keep things running.
Lucas Lebrick (ルーカス・レブリック, Rūkasu Reburikku)
An ambassador from the Yutear Empire, who helps Elizabeth gain asylum. To his incredible shock, the loan he gave her to start up her new business was repaid within half a year. Though aware Elizabeth isn't exactly right in the head, Lucas supports her due to the financial benefits she brings to the Empire with her new company.
Tida (ティーダ, Tīda)
A nun who becomes involved in Elizabeth's business. Elizabeth finds it difficult to believe that she is a nun due to her personality; Tida is an easily bribed, greedy booze hound. Tida murders all bandits she comes across as she doesn't see them as human, but monsters.
She holds a sacred treasure taking the form of a scythe, which can regenerate Tida's wounds and strengthen her body for each living thing killed by it.
Lunoa Carlton (ルノア・カールトン, Runoa Kāruton)
A girl who Elizabeth healed after she was hit by a carriage. She later becomes an apprentice at the company. Aside from the basic paperwork, Lunoa is being taught how to stoke demand and handle nobles, which is necessary for those in charge.
She is often horrified by a lot of what Elizabeth shows her about the world, but Lunoa is becoming desensitized; though she holds onto her morality a lot better than her boss.
Friede (フリード, Furīdo)
Elizabeth's ex-fiance, who broke off their engagement after gaining an interest in another woman, Sylvia Lockit.
In summation, Friede is an idiot unsuited to be the next king as he never does the paperwork and only looks out for his own happiness. He's so incompetent that Friede is only trusted to put his name on pages that have already been taken care of; reducing him to a seal of approval.
Sylvia Lockit
A noble woman who charms Friede. Elizabeth pushed her down the stairs, angering Friede and leading him to call off the engagement. She then becomes Friede's new fiancée.
Alice
Elizabeth's adopted daughter. She is an artificially created spirit with affinities for fire.
She was named after a little girl, whose family Elizabeth unintentionally destroyed; the father was in illegal business and her mother was arrested for association. The guilt lead to Elizabeth raising her as a replacement for the poor child.

Anime

[edit]

An anime adaptation was announced on August 18, 2025.[28][29] It was later confirmed to be a television series produced by Studio Comet and directed by Naoyuki Kuzuya, with Mitsutaka Hirota handling series composition, Sayaka Anezaki designing the characters and Satoshi Hōno and Karin Nakano composing the music. It is set to premiere in July 2026. Remow licensed the series.[1]

Reception

[edit]

Reviewing the first volume of the light novel for Anime News Network, Rebecca Silverman gave it a score of 2.5/5 stars, saying, "For every justified act, there are another two that go too far, and I think that revenge needs to suit the original slight if we're going to get behind it. If you're of a different opinion and enjoy your ladies drenched in blood and violence as well as hypercompetent, you'll probably like this more than I did."[7]

Lauren Orsini, also of Anime News Network, was more critical. She gave it a score of 0.5/5 stars and said, "It's a blatant power fantasy, and Ellie is out for blood. In other words, the protagonist is a complete psychopath. She has more power than God, and rather than using it to do anything good in this world, she chooses to make hundreds of people suffer. And when you consider that this is all in retaliation for her ex-fiancee humiliating her at a party, the punishment does not fit the crime."[7]
