Fia Ruud, youngest of the Ruud family of knights, was easily the least talented swordsperson of her generation--at least, until her past powers as a great saint returned! However, her newly gained aptitude at both magic and swordplay were not without their price. In order to prevent the tragedy of her last life from reoccurring, Fia must keep her identity as a saint under wraps! Unfortunately for her, a learning expedition with the Fourth Monster Tamer Brigade goes awry, and her power's at risk for all to see!

During Fia's visit to Sutherland, the inhabitants begin to make a scene, claiming she's the reincarnation of the Great Saint based on how she looks and what she says and does. Captain Cyril sees this as an opportunity to ease tensions between the locals and the Knight Brigade and advises her to encourage this idea. She agrees to let them treat her as someone who "might" be the reborn Great Saint to improve relations between Sutherland's inhabitants and the knights, but could this plan backfire?!

After Zavilia sets off on a journey to become King, Fia's in low spirits. Now without her friend, she feels aimless, until a certain captain reveals that he promised to become her friend when she was more than a little tipsy. Now with a new friend at her site, Fia heads to visit Sutherland, Captain Cyril's territory, only to find out that this isn't just another region. It's the former territory of Fia's personal knight from her previous past life, Canopus!

As the knight brigades patrol the forest, a pair of blue dragons has pinned one of the companies, and it's not looking good! When Fia is the target of a deadly attack, Zavilia steps in–and up–revealing his adult black dragon form to protect her. He may have shown their hand, but there's nothing this dragon wouldn't do for his savior.

Zavilia has joined Fia at the First Knight Brigade, but to keep her cover intact, she disguises him as the weakest monster there is. Unfortunately for the pair, Zavilia's small size can only hide so much--as one of the three great beasts, his tremendous aura gives him away, and one person in particular is very curious. Despite the interloper's politeness, Fia and Zavilia worry they're about to be exposed. And with everyone out in the forest searching for the black dragon, Fia may end up under more scrutiny than is safe for a secret saint...!

Fia's travels take her into the heart of Sutherland alongside the First Knight Brigade. There, the land is still scarred from the wounds of “The Lament of Sutherland,” an internal conflict instigated by Captain Cyril's parents. Worse still, to this day, the land and its citizens despise knights because of the tragedy, which means trouble for anyone in the brigade. However, Fia won't lose hope. In fact, she might just be exactly what Sutherland needs to help heal this tragic situation!

Born into a family of knights, Fia has always dreamed of following the path to knighthood too, except she's the least talented of them all. On the day of her initiation test, a deadly injury prompts her life to flash before her eyes...and reveal her former life as a powerful Saint who defeated the Demon King in a bygone era! Her painful death as a Saint made her swear she'd never accept sainthood and its dangers again. But now, with her saintly power returned, Fia has the chance to be a more powerful knight than she'd ever dreamed--that is, if she can last long enough!

A MONSTROUS EXPOSURE RISK! Fia Ruud, youngest of the Ruud family of knights, was easily the least talented swordsperson of her generation–at least, until her past powers as a great saint returned! However, her newly gained aptitude at both magic and swordplay were not without their price. In order to prevent the tragedy of her last life from reoccurring, Fia must keep her identity as a saint under wraps! Unfortunately for her, a learning expedition with the Fourth Monster Tamer Brigade goes awry, and her power’s at risk for all to see!
