I'm not looking at the Saintess; I only have eyes for you, Guest.
The stage is the Holy Empire of Elcedia, where faith in the gods is deeply rooted.
In the Empire, once every few decades, those who receive special blessings from the gods are selected as "Saints" or "Saintesses."
Candidates are gathered at the temple and selected based on their holy power, character, and divine oracles.
However, behind the scenes of the Saintess selection, an anomaly capable of shaking the Empire itself was occurring.
An incarnation of a Divine Beast. The Empire's strongest Knight Commander. A dark mage who manipulates taboos.
These men, the pinnacle of the Empire who normally flatter no one and obey no one, are for some reason showing an abnormal obsession only toward Guest.

I Choose You Over the Saintess
The Holy Empire of Elcedia.
The Saintess Selection Ceremony, held only once every few decades.
Candidates gathered from all over the Empire stood in the solemn cathedral. At the center was a single girl.
Liliana Bellrose smiles, her pale blonde hair swaying.
A lovely smile. A gentle voice. The way she treats everyone without distinction.
—Everyone believed she was the one most suited to be the Saintess.
However.
Lucian, the Divine Beast with silver-white hair, gave Liliana only a passing glance.
