Most fairy tales conclude with weddings and a promise of eternal happiness, but this narrative diverges from that path. In the continuation of the highly acclaimed webnovel "Under the Oak Tree" on MANTA, the second volume picks up as Lady Maximilian's first winter in Anatol gives way to spring. She experiences a newfound sense of hope—her voice and magical abilities are growing stronger, and the only unfinished part of Calypse Castle is the gardens, which she eagerly plans to fill with vibrant flowers. For the first time, she feels as though she might deserve the love and attention she's receiving from her husband, Sir Riftan, the reserved war hero who watches her with newfound admiration.
Nevertheless, Maxi's journey is fraught with challenges. Just as she starts settling into a life with Riftan, an unanticipated visit from Princess Agnes disrupts her peace. The princess, a famed sorceress and potentially Riftan's bride had circumstances differed, introduces a whirlwind of complex emotions and political intrigue. These events threaten to profoundly affect the dynamics of Maxi and Riftan's marriage. This volume compiles chapters 77-133 of Suji Kim's original webnovel.
