The Hidden Saint of House Valcrest

In the Kingdom of Octavia, boys are rare and treasured. Women carry the swords; men stay safe at home.

Fabian Valcrest has other plans. For seven years he's sparred with his eldest sister Naomi, the knight who held the family together after their parents fell to a monster tide. She has never needed both hands to beat him. Marika and Hana are quietly hoping the gods give him something harmless.

Instead, a goddess who almost never answers grants him healing, the gift of a Saint, and a hidden third skill: 「Covenant」, a bond that makes those he trusts permanently stronger.

Reveal it, and he becomes a weapon every noble house will want. Hide it, and House Valcrest commits treason.

Then a princess arrives to see the Saint of Greymark, and the dark forest on the border falls silent.

Fabian once swore he'd never wait at the gate again. This time, he won't.
