Description
Philia Adenauer, the most powerful saint her kingdom of Ziltonia has ever produced, is deemed so insufferably perfect that her fiancé, the second prince Julius, abruptly breaks their engagement. Eager to be rid of her, Julius sells Philia to the neighboring kingdom of Parnacorta, which is in desperate need of a saint after losing its own.

Bracing herself for mistreatment and hostility in her new home, Philia is instead shocked to receive a warm welcome. The royal family and servants of Parnacorta, including the kind-hearted second prince Oswald and her new attendants Lina and Leonardo, treat her with genuine respect and encourage her to rest, something she has never been allowed to do. Having been raised without emotional support and conditioned to overwork herself solving every problem in Ziltonia, Philia struggles to understand basic human decency and the concept of a life not defined by endless labor. However, she soon has the opportunity to repay this kindness when a demonic invasion threatens her new country. She saves Parnacorta by performing an ancient, difficult technique known as the Great Break Disturbance Form, demonstrating the true extent of her overwhelming power.

Meanwhile, back in Ziltonia, the kingdom begins to fall apart without Philia secretly running everything. Her younger sister, Mia Adenauer, is also a saint, but unlike the stereotypical jealous sibling, Mia worships Philia and loathes Julius and their parents for how they treated her. Suspicious of the official story that Philia left willingly, Mia accepts Julius’s marriage proposal as part of a secret plan to exact revenge and expose the conspiracy against her sister. As Mia uncovers the truth, Philia flourishes in Parnacorta, forming a close bond with Prince Oswald, who helps her open up and experience what it truly means to live. News of her incredible feats reaches Mia, and their two stories begin to converge as the threat of a larger, global conspiracy emerges.

The narrative follows several major arcs. The first establishes Philia’s betrayal and her unexpectedly healing new life in Parnacorta, culminating in her defense of the kingdom from demon attacks. The second arc follows Mia’s parallel journey of investigation and revenge in Ziltonia, where she experiences firsthand the incompetence of the royal family and sets her plans in motion. In a later arc, Philia, now bolstered by genuine support for the first time, requests aid from Parnacorta to save her troubled hometown, despite how it once spurned her. This leads to her hatching a secret plan with global implications. Another significant arc sees Philia named as the successor to the pope, forcing her and Oswald to travel to the neighboring nation of Dalbert to investigate a conspiracy that tampered with the late pope’s will. Throughout these arcs, Philia’s incredible competence and compassion are increasingly weaponized not just against monsters, but against the political corruption and selfishness that plague both kingdoms.
