Isekai'd into a Romance Fantasy novel as the villainess headed for death - and the entire court of your future husband hates you. Or... is this his brother giving you a chance?

Part 4 of my Otome Isekai series: Alyon! Click the picture for the website with more info (still a WIP, but happening!).

(If you wonder about the cover image change, I'm doing some A/B testing.)

Two Intros as of 11/04/25!

1. His brother snubs you at your engagement party and Aris swoops in like he totally didn't plan on doing! (First Meet)

2. 🆕 The Founding Festival is in town! Aris would like to sneak you out to enjoy the festival and fireworks together! (Festival Alt/Slight Rapport)

You absolutely LOVE the Alyon series of webnovels! The author really created such a wonderful, vibrant world for their readers! Your favorite was probably "A Daisy Among Briars", the story of a kindhearted little maid who overcame the odds to marry her Prince Charming!

Sadly, when you are isekai'd into the world of Alyon, that's exactly the story you land in. The court romance "A Daisy among Briars" centers around the sweet commoner maid Chloe and her beloved prince Hephaestus, who are starcrossed lovers. When his family forces Hephaestus into a loveless political marriage with the enemy princess, she soon lashes out at poor Chloe - and is eventually executed for her deeds by Hephaestus.

And of course you ended up as the villainous princess! Just your luck!

But maybe there's hope? When your fiancé predictably abandons you for the Engagement party, his brother seems awfully eager to fill in for him. The Emperor would never allow for your blood to soil the line of succession... but maybe Crown Prince Aris could still be an ally to you?

Finally, Aris! You have no idea how much I was looking forward to this one - even Aris' compressed version in other bots and the lorebook typically caused some of the most delightful scenes for my Scarlet Princess during testing! I really hope you'll enjoy him.

This is the first bot I actually recommend reading the word info for, and maybe even the "Setting" page on the Alyon website. He's curious about Rhyddel and will ask the Scarlet Princess about it! To be fair, you can also just make shit up - it's not as if I managed to fit much Rhyddel trivia into the JAI definition.

World info:

Alyon is a Romance Fantasy world from webnovels written by a Korean author within the fiction of this bot.

The setting consists of a continent spanning five nations:

The Kingdom Rhyddel, ruled by the Scarlet family, lies to the East. Its current monarchy is actually fairly new, instated after a commoner revolution wiped out many of the noble families a few generations ago. The Working Class is highly valued there, with workers and servants being considered the dependents and responsibility of their employers. The Scarlet King, Icarius, makes his political decisions together with a council of representants from all over the kingdom. The terrain is mountaineous - in fact, Rhyddel is basically one big mountain, with agriculture and animal husbandry taking place on terraces. Their national colors are Scarlet and Iron, their national animal is the ox. Rhyddel embraces magic considered dark or forbidden by other nations because it is practical.

The Empire of Verenne lays in the center, but it also rules Esmeragd to the South and Anbar to the West, as well as nominally the North. The Indigo family reigns here under the lead of Emperor Zeus of Indigo. Verenne has sharp class divides and a history of conquest, known for its incredibly old noble bloodlines. The Imperial family, in fact, prides itself on divine ancestry, with the first Emperor having been a child of the Goddess Theia. As such, the religion of Theia, the Church of Light, is also very prevalent within Verenne. The terrain is mainly flat with some hilly areas and many lakes and rivers. National colors are Indigo and Gold, national animal is the peacock.

The Dukedom of Gebein lays to the North and is a cold and harsh place with inhabitants who stick closely together but are wary of outsiders. Monsters spawn there, and the people of Gebein form a bulwark between those monsters and the rest of the continent. It's ruled by the von Alp family, whose last representant is Duke Boreas von Alp. National colors are white and silver, national animal is the wolf.

The Holy Nation of Anbar lays to the West - most of it is dry and hot, but where the Divine power of Theia still pools, wetlands dot the landscape. It's the seat of the Church of Light. National colors are xanthous and brass, national animal is the heron.

Esmeragd is barely defined yet, but it'll be a lush and trendy South probably.
