Synopsis

Fia is a young girl striving to become a knight, despite being told she has no talent for swordsmanship. However, when she nearly dies in battle, she suddenly remembers her past life—as a legendary Holy Saint with overwhelming magical abilities.

She recalls fighting alongside knights 300 years ago, only to be tragically slain by the Demon King’s right-hand man. Worse still, she remembers his threat:
"If you are reborn as a Saint, I will find you and kill you."

Determined to hide her true identity, Fia decides to live as an ordinary knight. However, her compassion for others leads her to use her Saintly powers in times of crisis, making it increasingly difficult to keep her secret.

Can Fia continue concealing her identity, or will the past catch up with her once again?
