This book wasn't as good as the others in my opinion, because we're just getting deeper into the story, I guess.

This manga volume is - as far as I know - taken from the beginning of the second light novel - Shurei has left the palace but is confronted in the very first pages that her experience there has made her dream of becoming a civil servant and helping the population of the empire become so real that the usual fate of a young woman of her age and standing - marriage and a family - are just not something she can see herself grasp any-more.

Again, full of awesome character development, and while can get a little Anime-style overdramatic, it's part of the series's charm.
Shurei is brought back to the palace as an emergency aid, and get to live her dream of being a civil servant for a time.
