Volume 7 cover art for the light novel series *Okiraku Ryoushu no Tanoshii Ryuchibouei* (The Enjoyable Castle Defense of a Relaxed Lord), illustrated by Sou Akaike.  The central figure is a blonde woman with long hair, wearing a grey and white elegant dress with a low-cut neckline and long sleeves, sitting regally on a dark blue armchair.  She has a confident expression and holds a piece of paper. Flanking her are two identical, shorter characters with short, light purple hair, wearing matching white and dark blue military-style outfits with fur collars,  looking cheerful and slightly toward the viewer.  They appear to be twins or close siblings. In the background, several other characters, including a muscular man in dark clothing, a man in formal attire, and another man with glasses, stand partially obscured behind the main trio. The setting resembles a grand, possibly palatial interior with light-colored walls and marble-like pillars.  The style is anime-inspired, with a focus on dynamic poses and vivid colors, typical of light novel cover art.
