Marie was born into one of the two great Saint lineages. She endured an upbringing that was nearly abusive in order to hone her healing powers. However, the one chosen as the Saint was Julia, who had gained the people’s support thanks to her beauty. In despair, Marie is assigned the position of Saint’s assistant. But Julia barely fulfills her duties as Saint and forces onto Marie all kinds of tasks far beyond what an assistant should handle. In the midst of this painful situation, the one who reaches out to her is Cecil, the second prince, who has just returned to the kingdom after studying abroad. “From now on, I’ll be the one to protect you.” Even though they had almost no connection before, Cecil treats Marie with a surprising amount of care—so much so that she begins to wonder if he might actually be doting on her. Even though she wasn’t chosen as the Saint, Marie’s life slowly begins to shine…
