Instead of a typical reincarnation, the magician is reborn into a royal family as a princess named Evangeline. This new life comes with a body naturally gifted in close combat skills. Despite a royal decree banning princesses from combat training, Evangeline secretly hones her abilities, determined to become unrivaled in strength.
