THE ROYAL VISITWith their honeymoon adventure at an end, Philia throws herself back into her saintly duties while Prince Osvalt prepares for a visit from the royal family of neighboring Alectron. An advance party of knights sent ahead of the royals proves to include one unexpected figure: Lena's fiance, Elmhardt! Realizing the couple is mysteriously estranged for reasons neither of them will reveal-and which might be related to the Alectron royals' last visit to Parnacorta-Philia sets about getting to the bottom of things.

Philia’s family has produced saints for generations. It’s no surprise that she’s known as the greatest saint of all time - and set to marry the second prince, Julius. What no one expects is for Julius to call off the engagement, claiming that Philia’s perfection makes her charmless and unlikable. To add insult to injury, Philia is packed off to a neighboring country in exchange for gold and resources, forcing her to leave her homeland!Despite bracing herself for mistreatment, Philia finds a warm welcome in her new town, where she puts her saintly abilities to good use erecting barriers against monsters and curing epidemics. But even as she flourishes in her new life, her homeland is under threat of destruction!

Finally wed to her beloved, Philia and Prince Osvalt embark on their honeymoon, traveling to historical ruins around Parnacorta. To her delight, Philia turns up some ancient research that gives her new ideas for the creation of magical devices! But all is not well in paradise, as the newlyweds find signs of a break-in in what should have been a protected site. Following the clues left by the intruder, they track them down, only to find…a merchant from a neighboring kingdom? What does this man want? And could the dangerous bargain he offers be worth the risk?

Sold to a neighbouring country by her former fiancé, Philia the saint has been hard at work protecting her new home - and the entire continent - from monster attacks. Just when it seems she might be in for some well-earned peace, however... magic-users across Parnacorta begin to disappear. A mysterious exorcist named Erza tells Philia that demons are behind the kidnapping - and that Philia is their real target! How will the too-perfect saint face this frightening new foe?

Philia’s hope of wedded bliss is interrupted by the news that the pope, sacred leader of her faith, has passed - and that his will names her as his successor?! Together with her fiancé Prince Osvalt, she heads to the neighboring nation of Dalbert, seat of the papacy, to investigate how this came to be. There, the duo finds proof of a conspiracy that tampered with the pope’s will! Can they get to the bottom of this? Or is Philia’s newfound happiness in Parnacorta doomed to be short-lived?

With the issue of the papal succession resolved, Saint Philia returns to Parnacorta to tie the knot with Prince Osvalt. As she prepares to be wed, her mother, Hildegard, tells Philia about her late father, Camil - how he used to be an apothecary, how he fell victim to the very same illness that claimed the life of Parnacorta’s last saint, and how he had been working on a cure before he died. Finding proof of this nearly complete cure among Camil’s papers, Philia decides to honor her father and Elizabeth by finishing what he started. But the creation of this cure might be a task too great for her to complete alone… especially with her impending nuptials on the horizon!
