Prince Kabula of the African House of Badila in the Netherlands and Princess Honoka of Japan shared a secret, forbidden romance-one that defied royal expectations and cultural boundaries. From their love, a child was born: a girl named Chisa. But with neither family willing to accept their relationship or the child born out of wedlock, the heartbroken royals made an impossible decision-they left their daughter behind, erasing her existence to protect their reputations.
Raised in a Tokyo children's home, Chisa Nishida grows up unaware of her royal blood. As a half-Black, half-Japanese girl in a homogenous society, she faces relentless discrimination-from caretakers, classmates, and teachers alike. Her life is a quiet struggle for belonging, marked by unanswered questions about where she comes from and why she was abandoned.
Everything begins to change when Chisa meets Azusa Saegusa, a bold, confident gyaru and half-British model with a sharp tongue and a kind heart. Through their unlikely friendship, Chisa begins to rediscover her self-worth, confront her pain, and navigate a world that has long rejected her.
But the truth has a way of surfacing.
Will Chisa uncover her hidden heritage and reclaim her place as a princess of two powerful royal lineages? Or will she remain in the shadows, believing she was never meant for more?
The Princess Born out of Wedlock is a spinoff of Daughters of the Deadly Sins: Genesis to Armageddon.
Do you need to read Daughters of the Deadly Sins first? Not at all. The Princess Born out of Wedlock stands on its own.
That said, diving into Daughters of the Deadly Sins will give you a deeper understanding of the world these stories share. After all, both novels exist within the same universe, and connections between them run deep.
