DarkeAOU want to read (All 198)

Because the manga cut out the entire end half of part one of the novel, and immediately started part two... we are introduced to the FL's classmates, who are collectively known as Team Hungry. I love them.
Part two is funny because the second prince's faction just keeps losing. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I just finished reading the novel, so I'm going to clarify some facts about the novel's background. I will not spoil what occurs during or after the story, and will only mention the background lore, since it's unlikely to come up in detail in the manga.
The two families are neighbors and their territories are right on the border of the kingdom. And a lot of the tension between the two families is because they're long-time business rivals--they're involved in the same types of business, and buy from the same merchants. The only real difference is that one family is a Duke and the other is an Earl.
However, the title of Duke is just a temporary reward for offering a daughter to marry the King, and it will stop being a duchy in three generations. (Unclear how far back this marriage was, but I think the husband is the last generation before the title downgrades.) The mother-in-law is determined to have her son marry royalty, so the monarch ordering him to marry an Earl's daughter is a huge insult to her.
The monarch orders the two rival families to marry for the sake of national security. Their kingdom has a tense relationship with one of their neighbors, so having two of their border territories constantly at odds led that neighboring country to scout their border. So the threat of war was imminent, and the neatest way to avoid war was by forcing the two rival families to join hands permanently. And it worked!
(You would think that last paragraph would be considered important to the plot, but it's not even mentioned as a PAST threat until three chapters before the novel ends. The FL fully thinks that the monarch just got tired of them constantly insulting each other and made them get married so that they'd learn to play nicely together. LOL)

You can find the novel here: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8698hw/
Syosetu is the Japanese site where the novel was originally posted by the author. SO MUCH manga is based off of novels posted on syosetu, so if you find a good manga and get curious about spoilers? Look for it on syosetu, it's there 80% of the time!
