The World is Still Beautiful
Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii
それでも世界は美しい
Synopsis
In the Sun Kingdom, where sunlight is constant, the concept of rain is completely unfamiliar to its inhabitants. Conversely, the distant Rain Dukedom experiences nothing but rainfall, and every citizen there possesses the ability to summon rain with their voices. Livius Orvinus Ifrikia, who conquered the entire world and expanded the Sun Kingdom's rule just three years after ascending to the throne, learns of the Rain Dukedom's unique power to produce rain. He decides to marry Nike Remercier, one of the Rain Dukedom's princesses. However, stories of Livius as a cruel and tyrannical ruler spread beyond the Sun Kingdom, leading Nike to brace herself for the worst upon hearing of the marriage. Yet, when Nike meets her intended, she discovers he is far from the oppressive figure she had imagined.
