Hana's engagement to Saku, the young and powerful lord of the Ichinomiya clan, is more a strategic alliance than a romantic bond.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Bride of the Barrier Master, Vol. 2 by Kureha Kureha, Linda Liu, continues the story of Hana, who is engaged to Saku, the young and powerful lord of the Ichinomiya clan. For Hana, this engagement may be more about business than pleasure, but it is undeniably a reality she must face.

Not everyone is thrilled with their union. Hana's shikigami are fiercely protective of their master, while Saku's family doubts her ability to meet their standards. Furthermore, Hana faces envious classmates who aren't shy about resorting to some good old-fashioned bullying.

However, Hana is not one to be underestimated. She is determined not to take any of this lying down, and her doubters are about to discover just how terrifying she can truly be!
