About Murder Princess

On the fouth of the Month of Jade, Cyndina Era 672, Dr. Akamashi, a scientist formerly in the employ of the government, launches a coup d'etat in the Forland kingdom. With his dying breaths, the mortally wounded king sends his daughter Alita to find Prince Kaito, who is leading a peace talk envoy and its military escort abroad. As she flees from the castle and reaches a forest on the country's border, however, Alita encounters the forest's guardian beast. Running for her life, Alita meets Falis, an infamous bounty hunter said to have achieved the feat of slaying a dragon. They bump into one another at the edge of a cliff, and plummet to the ground. During the fall, the nature of the near-death experience forcibly switches Alita's and Falis' bodies. After Falis dispatches the guardian beast, Alita pleads with the bounty hunter to protect the Forland kingdom, offering herself, body and soul, as collateral. Falis agrees. Thus the world's strongest and most savage princess, thereafter known as the Murder Princess, is born.
