Did someone call for a badass mage to stop petty nobles from squabbling and face the real threat—unbridled Chaos? In a world where the noble elite are supposed to fend off the threat of terrifying Chaos but instead engage in pointless, petty squabbles, young mage Siluca Meletes dreams of bringing justice to the land. When tragedy strikes during a wedding that would bring together the Fantasia Union and the Factory Alliance, Siluca finds herwelf with no choice but to forge a new future for the world. With the aid of Theo, a knight errant with great potential, she will go against the world's order to achieve peace through the magical power of crests. And as Theo soon finds out, her methods are more than a little unorthodox!

I had watched a couple episodes of this anime previously but paused since I usually like to read more info heavy storylines first before the shows. I could tell from the start that this world was more complex and deserved my full attention so I ordered the first few mangas. I am so happy that I did! The anime had beautiful animation and I’m so happy to see how the manga is the same style and focus. The world building is so interesting and I’m obsessed with having an intelligent woman in the lead with our male lead wrapped around her finger. I love how Theo doesn’t question Siluca’s knowledge and plan and is just along for the ride. It’s a refreshing change from the normal sequence of a powerful male lead and a woman doing whatever he needs. 

The plot reminds me a lot of the game Risk (which I was obsessed with) and Siluca is a master player. I can’t wait to see how this series goes and happy to be collecting these volumes!
