Novel Introduction: A Queen Disgraced


A Queen Disgraced: Devilish Strategist (女王汚辱 鬼骨の軍師)


Author: Takeuchi Ken (竹内けん)

Illustrator: Senbata Rou (せんばた楼)
Label: 2D Dream Novels (二次元ドリームノベルズ)


Here we have the last untranslated entry in the "Proto Harem Series", the books written before the Harem Series but set in the same world as it.
This one tells the story of how one of the major players in the setting came to be. By pure coincidence, the most recent novel in the Harem Series is something of an epilogue to this story. The first chapter is a summary of this book's events, but it retcons some things to better fit the lighter tone of the Harem Series by making certain events a little more consensual. For example, the retconned version has Selune initially scare Malicia off by having sex with his maids in front of her instead of what you'll see here.

  1. So this book's after Dynasty2 but before Caravan, right?
    If we look only at characters involved (cos I has no idea what harem come bf/af each other).

    1. Castle is first but it mentions events relating to Dynasty and Caravan. Sister takes place after castle, Engagement takes place after Dynasty 2 and decades after Pirate.

      Though yeah the series chronology is a bit confusing.
