My Gently Raised Beast, Vol. 1

When Blondina is revealed to be a long-lost princess, she hopes to say good-bye to the miserable life of an orphan. But all that awaits her in the palace is bullying and ridicule for her common background, and the cold, condescending gaze of her father, the emperor. Her first and only friend is a black cat she meets in the garden. Though Amon has a big attitude for a little ball of fur, he’s the perfect buddy she always wanted. And the best part—he can talk! But just when she thought her little friend couldn’t be any more special—FLASH!—Blondina finds herself staring at the most handsome boy she’s ever seen.“I told you. I’m not a cat.”
