Description
Saint Ilias once found genuine happiness in using her divine power to heal the sick and aid the people of her homeland. But her life shattered when her cousin Marii appeared as a doppelgänger, claiming to be the true saint. With the backing of Ilias’s own fiancé, Prince Reizen, and the noble family that had adopted her only to use her, Marii seized Ilias’s status and had her exiled from the kingdom.

Rather than fight to reclaim her position, Ilias decides she has finally been freed. The constant pressure, the endless stream of petitioners, the disdain of the court—none of it will bind her anymore. She sets out on a cheerful journey, determined to live for herself at last.

On the road, she crosses paths with Prince Actole, the first prince of the neighboring kingdom of Sloeren. Desperate for his country’s prosperity and moved by Ilias’s genuine warmth, he makes a heartfelt plea: I don’t care if I have to give you everything I own—please become the saint of my nation. Though she never planned to return to a life of duty, Ilias accepts his offer. She begins using her healing miracles for a new kingdom that truly values her, and a tentative bond forms between her and the earnest prince.

Back in her old kingdom, the consequences of the switch begin to unfold. Marii lacks Ilias’s true saintly power, and the fraud is exposed. The kingdom falls into chaos. Meanwhile, Ilias’s adoptive father, realizing he lost the real saint, tries to bring her back. In Sloeren, Ilias gains new allies, including the gifted young mage Paul, and works alongside Actole to build a brighter future for their growing nation. When refugees from the collapsed former kingdom arrive, and news breaks that former noblewomen are being trafficked in an underground auction, Ilias, Actole, and their knight Jin infiltrate the venue—only to find Marii herself chained on the auction block.

Ilias is a kind-hearted but exhausted young woman who had long endured mistreatment and isolation. Exile becomes her liberation. Prince Actole is a dedicated ruler willing to sacrifice everything for his people, and his genuine respect for Ilias marks a sharp contrast to the cold treatment she suffered before. Marii, the envious cousin, embodies the greed that initially stole Ilias’s life. The setting shifts from the oppressive halls of Ilias’s original kingdom to Sloeren, a land that welcomes her, and the narrative follows Ilias’s journey from discarded saint to a valued figure rebuilding her life and finding both purpose and affection on her own terms.
