Re:Zero Ex Light Novel Volume 1

Re:Zero Kara Hajimaru Isekai Seikatsu Ex 1 The Dream the Lion King Saw (Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活Ex 1 獅子王の見た夢) is the first spinoff novel of the Re:Zero light novel series.

It takes place roughly one year before the start of the Royal Selection and roughly 8-9 months before the start of the main story.

Synopsis
Their dream for the future was born long ago...

During the royal selection, Duchess Crusch Karsten declared her plans for the Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica: to destroy the covenant with the Dragon and rebuild the nation stronger than before. But where did her radical vision come from? Why does she want to change the country so badly? The answer lies in her past...

This collection of short stories chronicles Crusch's growth into a noble duchess vying for the crown, her vassal Ferris's struggles with knighthood and family, and their love for the warm-hearted prince who inspired them both.

---The bestselling series from author Tappei Nagatsuki continues in this spin-off where some of your favorite characters capture the spotlight!
