J-Novel Club describes the story as follows:

From his deathbed, Hero-King Inglis, the divine knight and master of all he surveys, gazes down upon the realm he built with his mighty hand. Having devoted his life to statecraft and the well-being of his subjects, his only unfulfilled wish is to live again—this time for himself: the life of a warrior he dedicated himself to before his rise to power. His guardian goddess Alistia hears his plea, smiles upon him, and hurls his soul into the far future. Goddesses work in mysterious ways—not only is Inglis now the daughter of a minor noble family, but at her first coming-of-age ceremony at age 6, she is found unfit to become a knight! For a lady of Inglis' ambition, however, this is less a setback and more the challenge she was (re)born to overcome. "It is not the blood running through your veins that makes a knight; it is the blood you shed on the battlefield!" The curtain rises on the legend of an extraordinary squire girl reborn to master the blade!
