A little different from normal isekais, as the author of the world isn't the main character, and is actually quite mean. The art is gorgeous though and the plot is really quite good.

It's ok

I was a bit worried at first due to the age difference, but it remained wholesome throughout

It's so nice to read a webtoon of this kind without it being an isekai. Don't get me wrong - I love isekais, but it's nice to have a break!

The daughter of a king forgotten due to the nature of her dead mother is discovered as a malnourished 8 year old girl. She is slowly assimilated into palace life but she's a wanted commodity in the nation's wars against demons due to her unique jewel eyes that grant her power.

A girl is adopted by the uncle of the crown Prince, but is mistreated and kept captive until she is one day caught in a house fire and dies. She isekais back to the age of seven (just for once in an isekai it's plausible that she acts like a seven-year-old, because she was kept captive for so long). At the age of seven she is just about to be adopted by the uncle of the prince, but jumps out of his carriage and runs away. She is pursued by some guards of the uncle, but runs into the crown Prince who seems just a couple of years older than she. He protects her for a bit until a duke (supposedly watching after the prince) comes and fights off the guards. The prince orders him to take in the girl, and so he does. As the uncle of the prince attempts to get back the young girl, the duke realises that he cares about the young girl (as a father figure) and it's revealed that he may even be related to her. As for my opinions: it's a bit deeper than the generic abused-girl-gets-new-home plot, and the art style is really lovely. I don't know why, but I'm finding that I'm not too absorbed in the story (which is saying something, because I get attached to stories easily). There are quite a few plot points set up from early on, such as, "why does the uncle of the prince want custody of the girl so badly?" And "If the duke truly is related to her as a father, why doesn't he remember ever spending a night with a woman?" So there's a lot to look forward to in terms of plot progression. These plot points make the manhwa intriguing, but for some inexplicable reason I'm almost bored reading it. I really hope it picks up!

Set in abt the 13th century Europe (estimate based on architecture and fashion, particularly w the appearance of the hennin). An abused girl w a stutter is married off to a powerful knight
