Marguerite's Conflict (Historical Romance Visual Novel)

Third in our princess series, we present to you an otome romance visual novel set in a delightful Christmas atmosphere, featuring 16th century princess Marguerite de Valois, her husband Henry of Navarre, and her former lover, the Duke of Guise.

Meet Marguerite de Valois, a French Catholic princess caught in the tumult of the 16th century.

Amidst the religious wars between Catholics and Huguenots, her mother, Catherine de Medici, orchestrated her marriage to Henry of Navarre, a prominent Huguenot, in hopes of peace. However, the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre darkened the early days of their union, casting a shadow on the relationship...

Half a year later, during the Christmas time of 1572, Marguerite finds herself entangled in a web of court intrigue and a love triangle involving her husband and her past affection, the Duke of Guise, who remains at court.

With every decision scrutinized by the court, Marguerite must navigate her heart and her duties carefully... Help her navigate the situation - she can either let go of Guise or face the consequences, which could mean family backlash and risking her position...
