She never asked to be the villainess of her favorite game, but she’s growing into the role day by day. She’s now collected a plethora of Dark Magic items and the Magical Ministry higher-ups even want her to start taking Dark Magic lessons. Too bad Katarina’s attention is elsewhere, for one of her superiors—former farm boy Cyrus—seems to be showing a different kind of special interest in Maria. Can Katarina help them get closer without inviting disaster? Doubtful!

It’s time for another event from the game, meaning new opportunities for our favorite dessert-fueled duke’s daughter to stave off doom once again (and maybe win a few hearts in the process)!
