The Emperor’s Mask
Summary
I didn’t know blackouts were so scary. I lost my film after drinking. And when she opened her eyes, she was in a different world, and she was in a different person’s body. That alone is absurd, but I found out that the cause of death of the body was murder, not suicide. I’m so busy adjusting to reality that I’m going crazy, and I’m also thinking about what’s wrong with the emperor who doesn’t show his face outside. Meanwhile, suspicious beings, even the chief of staff, continue to haunt her. “What’s that big bowl?” “…….” Damn, you’re interrupting me mixing rice with a spoon! The story of a mysterious emperor, a suspicious servant, a man who doesn’t reveal himself and the wrong heroine Lucia.

















... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
