Premise

Philia is the Saint of her kingdom Ziltonia and engaged to the second prince, Julius Ziltonia. However, Julius sold her to the neighboring kingdom of Parnacorta, which lost their own Saint recently. To her shock, Philia finds she has been overworking herself and that a saint truly doesn't need to take care of all of the kingdom's problems; unless consulted.

Back in Ziltonia, the country has started falling apart as no one has actually needed to do their jobs properly as Philia was doing too much. Doom is creeping closer for them.

Characters

Philia Adenauer (フィリア・アデナウアー, Firia Adenauā)

Voiced by: Yui Ishikawa^[3]

A ridiculously competent Saint who pretty much ran Ziltonia by covering for all the issues. Having never been given emotional support by her parents, Philia is stoic but compassionate. Always working too hard, Philia never had time for hobbies nor preference; she just ate and slept robotically.

After turning herself into the core of a barrier to repel demons, Philia spends her time training the next Saint of Parnacorta.

Mia Adenauer (ミア・アデナウアー, Mia Adenauā)

Voiced by: Kaede Hondo^[4]

Younger sister of Philia and less experienced Saint. She worships her sister and loathes Julius along with her parents for how poorly they have treated Philia. To get revenge on them, Mia fakes accepting his marriage proposal; part of her plan to force the first prince into taking the throne.

She experiences the pathetic side of Julius when he cowers while accompanying her on an excursion that results in demons attacking.

Osvalt Parnacorta (オスヴァルト・パルナコルタ, Osuvaruto Parunakoruta)

Voiced by: Takuya Satō^[4]

Second prince with a hobby of farming. He tries to befriend Philia and help her open up; seeing she needs to experience what it actually means to live her life.

Julius Girtonia (ユリウス・ジルトニア, Yuriusu Jirutonia)

Voiced by: Kōhei Amasaki^[4]

The second prince. Simply put he is a selfish, petty, manchild; not even being aware that Philia did most of the work for the entirety of the kingdom and that Mia is inadequate to properly replace her.

He sold off Philia because her medicine was healing his father; wishing for him and his brother to die, so he can rule unopposed. Just a short time after Philia is gone, the kingdom begins falling apart; he has no clue how to run it.

Reichardt Parnacorta (ライハルト・パルナコルタ, Raiharuto Parunakoruta)

Voiced by: Shinnosuke Tachibana^[5]

First prince and fiancé of the deceased Saint of Parnacorta. He visits her grave regularly.

Lena (リーナ, Rīna)

Voiced by: Sora Tokui^[5]

Maid assigned to Philia in Parnacorta. She has combat experience with knives. Lina lends Philia books to help her learn how to interact with other people.

Leonardo (レオナルド, Reonarudo)

Voiced by: Ken Narita^[5]

Butler assigned to Philia in Parnacorta. Much like Lina, he is shocked that his mistress has no concept of proper rest and overworked herself before moving to Parnacorta.

Himari (ヒマリ)

Voiced by: Kanna Nakamura^[5]

Another servant assigned to Philia. Himari is a ninja with excellent stealth skills. Philia asked her to look after Mia; resulting in Himari helping Mia with her revenge plans.

Grace Martilas (グレイス・マーティラス, Gureisu Mātirasu)

Voiced by: Shu Uchida^[6]

The saint-in-training who studies under the tutelage of Philia.

Fernand Girtonia (フェルナンド・ジルトニア, Ferunando Jirutonia)

Voiced by: Kazuyuki Okitsu^[6]

Hildegard Adenauer (ヒルデガルト・アデナウアー, Hirudegaruto Adenauā)

Voiced by: Miki Itō^[6]

Sister of Georg and the previous saint before Philia. In truth, she is Philia's birth mother; however, Georg kidnapped Philia when he and Cornelia were having trouble producing an heir. Georg slandered Hildegard to discredit her claims of parentage.

Once she gets wind of Mia's plans for revenge against her parents and the second prince, Hildegard gets the paperwork ready to adopt Mia; knowing her brother's house will be destroyed in every sense once his dirty dealings come to light.

Georg Adenauer (ゲオルグ・アデナウアー, Georugu Adenauā)

Voiced by: Kentarō Itō^[6]

A terrible man who burns with a jealousy towards his more competent sister. When he and his wife were having trouble conceiving, he had the "brilliant" idea to kidnap his newborn niece and pass her off as his own. Once he finally succeeded in siring an heir himself, he largely ignored and verbally abused Philia her entire life.

Cornelia Adenauer (コルネリア・アデナウアー, Koruneria Adenauā)

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara^[6]

A woman obsessed spending on extravagant things.

Pierre (ピエール, Piēru)

In a world infested by monsters humanity's only salvation are Saints, women who wield holy magic to drive the monsters out and purify the land. The greatest living Saint, Philia Adenauer, lives in Girtonia Kingdom and serves its people well. Unfortunately, she is incapable of smiling which makes people uncomfortable. Girtonia's second Saint is Mia, Philia's little sister who possesses such a sweet smile she is beloved by the whole kingdom. In private, Philia is miserable. Her power has attracted powerful enemies who resent her success. She also lives with her hyper-critical parents who openly prefer Mia. For several years Philia has been engaged to Prince Julius, an arrogant, selfish man. Philia and Mia are very close and adore spending time together. Julius conspires with her parents to end their engagement in favour of marrying Mia. Julius also secretly sells Philia to the Parnacorta Kingdom whose Saint recently died. Overcome by grief but unable to argue, Philia departs without being allowed to say goodbye to Mia. Julius begins plotting to seize Girtonia's throne once his ill father dies. After a long journey Philia is abandoned at the border and told she must walk the rest of the way. To her surprise, rather than the life of slavery she was expecting, she is given a royal welcome by Parnacorta's prince.

In capital city Almburg the bishop Bjorn welcomes Philia with a party. Second Prince Osvalt apologises for buying her, but Parnacorta was desperate after the death of Saint Elizabeth, and swears to make Philia so happy she falls in love with Parnacorta. First Prince Reichardt is also glad to see her, though Philia is certain they are eager to put her to work. Philia is confused to receive a mansion with butler Leonardo and maid Lena. Philia learns monster attacks have increased since Elizabeth's death so she wakes up early as normal, surprising Leonardo and Lena, and drives out a monster nest in the mountains. Lena and Leonardo accompany her to protect her, though Philia is certain they are judging her usefulness. In reality, they are amazed at how much work Philia does in a single day. Philia is confused, since her mother and Julius always told her constant hard work was her duty. Lena and Leonardo conclude Philia has been mistreated badly in Girtonia, since in every other kingdom Saints are afforded the same respect as nobility. Parnacorta's citizens are soon praising Philia's name as monsters disappear and merchants start trading again. Mia is devastated by Philia's absence and swears to discover who is responsible since her father lied to her about Philia's decision about leaving the country. Julius discovers Philia had been solely responsible for exterminating all the monsters, and without her his soldiers are unable to stop them attacking everywhere.

Osvalt takes Philia on a tour of Almburg and Philia feels her heart racing. Philia is confused Osvalt asks her personal questions, since she never had time to develop personal interests. Her research leads her to believe the Demon Realm is approaching the surface. This happened 400 years ago when the demon Asmodeus invaded. Had it not been for Arch-Saint Fianna Aesfill defeating him Asmodeus would have destroyed the world. Philia fears being ridiculed for suggesting such a thing without evidence, so she is surprised when Osvalt authorises extra funds to the military. She suggests casting a Great Purification Circle over Parnacorta, which would weaken monsters instead of keeping them out, allowing the military to kill them. The drawback is Philia would have to stay in Almburg at the circle’s centre, leaving her unable to work. Once again, she is surprised when Osvalt agrees to this, claiming she needs time to relax anyway. Philia worries about Mia protecting Girtonia on her own, so she sends a letter with helpful advice. Mia is disgusted when Julius proposes to her and realises he must have conspired with her parents. She delays answering his proposal, planning to manipulate him into admitting his guilt. Her parents intercept the letter from Philia and burn it without reading it. Mia finds evidence of her parents sudden increase in wealth and eventually confirms Julius sold Philia to another kingdom. With his guilt confirmed, Mia accepts Julius’ proposal, planning to plunge him into the depths of absolute despair.

Lena realises Philia doesn't have a hobby and introduces her to romance novels, which for some reason cause Philia to think about Osvalt. Osvalt later visits and explains that before she arrived he and Reichardt had a nasty argument, since Osvalt was against buying her for money. He then abruptly asks if Philia is interested in becoming a tutor. Several days later Mia's letter arrives and Philia deduces Mia did not receive the letter she sent, presumably destroyed by their parents. Leonardo summons Himari, a ninja guarding Philia in secret. Himari promises to deliver Philia's letters directly to Mia. In Girtonia, Himari easily separates Mia from her incompetent guards and passes her Philia's letter. Mia is overjoyed Philia is well loved in Parnacorta but troubled by her letter. Mia knows she doesn't possess the skills to cast her own Great Purification Circle, and turning Girtonia's army into an effective fighting force will be impossible with Julius in charge. Himari offers to kidnap her to Parnacorta to be with Philia. Mia is tempted, reasoning that Girtonia kingdom deserves to be abandoned after what everyone did to Philia.
5	"Golden Freesia" Transliteration: "Kiiro no Furījia" (Japanese: 黄色のフリージア)	Takuma Suzuki	Keiichirō Ōchi	Hikaru Takeuchi & Koji Yoshikawa	May 8, 2025 (2025-05-08)

There they encounter Reichardt who visits the grave regularly. Philia struggles to understand such a deep love when she has never once bothered trying to fall in love with another person. Osvalt admits to Philia he has no interest in becoming king, so he took up gardening so no one would take him seriously as potential heir.

Reichardt receives a letter from Julius demanding Philia be returned to Girtonia.

Mia, who refused to escape with Himari, advises Julius on strategies but is ignored. Julius' father, the King, is so enraged he leaves his sick bed to yell at Julius but falls ill again. Mia deduces Julius sold Philia specifically to stop her tending to the King so he will die sooner and Julius can become king. Taking advantage of his ego Mia invites Julius on one of her patrols and he naturally panics when monsters attack. With his cowardice exposed he decides to demand Philia back from Parnacorta. Erza Notice the Exorcist of the Cremoux Church and her demon familiar Mammon investigates the weakening seal preventing Asmodeus' return. A demon possesses an unwitting Marquis Pyrz and reveals to Julius a ring containing Fianna's magic is hidden under the church and goads Julius into wanting it so he can surpass Philia. Osvalt refuses to return Philia but offers to send knights to assist Mia. At Mia's request Philia sends an improved medicine recipe via Himari, hoping it will cure the King permanently. Mia plans to save Girtonia as the Saint while getting her revenge by having Julius exposed for his crimes and exiled.

Pierre reveals Fernand spent so long in isolation he still has not left his room and has become ill. Mia finds that Fernand has resigned himself to being assassinated by Julius in the near future. Mia decides to save Fernand she must first cure his illness but Fernand refuses all medicine, since improving his health might cause Julius to assassinate him even sooner to avoid a succession dispute. Philia is invited to meet Osvalt's father, King Eigelstein, who is so grateful for her hard work he approves sending Parnacorta's knights to assist Mia, causing Philia an enormous sense of relief. She reveals she has come up with a plan that should save not only Parnacorta and Girtonia, but other nearby kingdoms as well. By borrowing magic from Grace and Grace's sisters, who are also Saint Candidates, Philia believes she could cast a Great Purification Circle over the entire continent.

Grace convinces her sisters Emily, Jane and Amanda to help Philia with the continent-sized circle. On Julius’ orders Mia’s parents host a lavish party for Girtonia’s nobility. Marquis Pyrz’ son betrays him and reveals important information to Mia. Hildegarde unexpectedly offers to adopt Mia, since her parents will be ruined when Julius is exposed. Mia is uncertain, but Hildegarde reveals the shocking truth Philia is actually her biological daughter, thus Mia's cousin. Mia’s parents stole her to hide the fact they failed to conceive their own children.

Philia learns Parnacorta’s knights were refused entry to Girtonia by Julius. Philia calculates Girtonia will fall in 4 days. Erza reveals the Cremoux Church believes in the continual reincarnation of souls, and there is a possibility Philia is the reincarnation of Saint Fiana. It is also a possibility Asmodeus actually fell in love with Fiana and is planning to make Philia fall in love with him. Osvalt invites Philia to dinner, after the Asmodeus crisis is over. At Mia’s parents party Fernand gives a speech that impresses the nobles, causing Julius to poison his wine then prevent Mia treating him. News arrives the King has been assassinated and Julius arrogantly admits to everyone he planned it all to become king. Fernand recovers, revealing he knew what Julius was planning; Mia having been told about the plot by Marquis Pryz son. The King is also alive, Julius’ assassins having been killed by Himari. Julius is furious when the nobles reject him. Mia terminates their engagement and publicly denounces him and her parents for abusing and then selling Philia.

The King reveals Philia's improved medicine cured him permanently, so he arrests Julius, Mia's parents and Pryz for treason. Parnacorta's knights are allowed into Girtonia. With Grace and her sisters Philia casts the circle over Parnacorta and Bolmern but due to the monsters already in Girtonia the mana is disrupted, leaving Girtonia unprotected. Philia plans to travel to Girtonia but is prevented by Reichardt since Philia is Parnacorta's Saint and cannot just rush off to another kingdom. Erza agrees as Girtonia is too close to where Asmodeus will appear. Osvalt stands up for Philia, as does Grace who offers to keep powering the circle so it doesn't collapse when Philia leaves. In Girtonia Mia rushes the monsters alone, which she had always planned to do, intending to commit suicide for her guilt over Philia's abuse. Philia arrives at the last second as Mia passes out. With the circle expanded to its proper size the knights are able to push back the weakened monsters while Philia heals Mia.

Philia is shocked for a few seconds but regains her composure and manages to retrieve Hildegarde. Asmodeus moves to stab Erza but stabs Philia by mistake. Uncaring, Asmodeus declares he will remove Fiana's soul from Philia's damaged body and use it to resurrect Fiana, then teleports Philia away. Erza reveals he will have taken Philia to Limbo. In Limbo Philia infects Asmodeus with her Holy magic, forcing his demonic soul to leave Julius and flee. She manages to send a magical message to her friends, acknowledging Hildegarde as her mother and saying farewell in case she dies. Deciding Osvalt is the most suitable, Erza and Mammon teleport to Limbo with him to help Philia while everyone else stays to handle the remaining shadow-demons. Asmodeus reveals he spent 200 years crafting a perfect doll of Fiana to house her soul and memories. When Philia refuses Asmodeus threatens to kill Julius unless she surrenders Fiana's soul.

Osvalt almost says something important, but Erza deters him until a more appropriate time. Julius recovers and blames Philia for everything, until Mammon drags him back to prison. Girtonia recovers quickly and Philia visits Hildegarde who apologises for not telling her the truth.
