Seijo ni Eraba Renakatta Hazu na no ni/ Even Though I Wasn't Supposed to Be Chosen as a Saint/ I Wasn't Meant to Be the Saintess/ I Wasn't Supposed to Be Chosen as the Saint, Yet Here I Am/ 聖女に選ばれなかったはずなのに
Marie was born into one of the two great Saint bloodlines. From a young age, she endured a harsh upbringing—almost abusive—in order to strengthen her healing powers.
However, the one ultimately chosen as the Saint was Julia, who won the people’s favor with her beauty and charm. Heartbroken, Marie is assigned the role of the Saint’s assistant instead. Yet Julia barely carries out her responsibilities and pushes countless unreasonable duties onto Marie—far beyond what an assistant should be expected to handle.
Amid this painful situation, the person who reaches out to her is Cecil, the second prince, who has just returned to the kingdom after studying abroad.
“From now on, I’ll be the one to protect you.”
Despite having almost no prior connection, Cecil treats Marie with unexpected kindness and devotion—so much so that she begins to wonder if he might actually be spoiling her.
Even though she was never chosen as the Saint, Marie’s once-dim life slowly begins to shine.
