※※※ A Slow-Burn Romance Between the Hero and Heroine ※※※

The story begins with the annulment of Crown Prince Arthur of the Holy Aurum Kingdom's engagement.

Lily (13), living in a fortress at the kingdom's western edge (a complete backwater, in short), gets caught in the fallout of the Crown Prince's annulled engagement, despite having absolutely no prior acquaintance with him.

Her parents are transferred to an eastern fortress, forcing her to move in with her mother's family, the Earl of Tinam, in the royal capital.

Her cousin Noah serves as the Crown Prince's aide, and Lily manages to secure a castle position through his connections. However, she inexplicably finds herself added to the list of 'Saintess Candidates AND Crown Princess Candidates'.

There are two other Saintess Candidates: Olivia, a Duke's daughter, and Poppy, a Baron's daughter, both of whom seem to be engaged in a fierce romantic battle.

Regardless of what those around her are thinking, Lily has only one goal.

Her sole aim is to achieve a reasonable amount of success in her work in the royal capital, then head to the eastern fortress and reunite with her parents!

She diligently worked towards her goal, sparing no effort, but things didn't quite go as planned—

This is the story of the growth and romance of Lily, a crybaby, indecisive heroine who constantly finds herself entangled in events!
