I Picked Up a No-Good, Useless Prince, Volume 1

As much fantasy romance as cozy slice-of-life: this story offers a fresh twist on the classic relationship between prince and commoner.

Innkeeper Emma Norwinner has worshiped Prince Kulhi, the First Prince of Gahama, all her life – until one day he collapses, exhausted, on her doorstep. Stripped of his title and banished from the castle, Kulhi reaches the cozy inn with an empty stomach and a great lack of self-worth. Emma recognizes his face immediately, but wonders: who is this sad, self-deprecating man – and what has he done with her idol?

Out of compassion, Emma decides to help Kulhi pick up the pieces of his former self. She offers him a room in exchange for helping with the inn’s work. But it quickly becomes clear: a spoiled prince is more or less useless at running an inn. Nevertheless, under Emma’s guidance, the “Prince Kulhi Revival Project” begins – with heart, humor, and a dash of romance.
