Corporate Slave 2.0 as Queen?
I Respectfully Decline

I Welcomed My Broken Engagement with a Fist Pump, and Got Headhunted by the Ice Grand Duke

You wish to break off our engagement?
I accept, most graciously.

Genre
Isekai Romance × Comeuppance

Synopsis

Rosalind Abel! I hereby break off our engagement!

The instant Crown Prince Alfred pronounced his condemnation, memories of a past life came flooding back to the villainess Rosalind. The memories of Ritsuko Tanaka, a corporate slave of an office worker who worked herself to death at twenty-eight.

And she saw it all too clearly. Her future as queen was nothing but Corporate Slave 2.0: a lifetime spent as her husband's accessory.

"I accept, most graciously. — And thank you ever so much."

The very moment after she struck a triumphant fist pump in her heart, before her stood Lucas, the young sovereign of the neighboring realm, feared as the Ice Grand Duke.

"I'll hire you. As Economic Advisor. Your annual salary: ten times the Crown Princess's allowance."

While Rosalind shows what she can do across the border, the homeland that cast her aside slowly falls apart. And Miria, the Saint who orchestrated the broken engagement, walks of her own accord into the very hell Rosalind escaped.
