Sword Saint Adel's Second Chance

Blind swordmaster Adel personally put an end to the Great War engulfing the continent in chaos. Though he uses it for good, his strength comes from his horrific past—the gruesome experiments performed on him and the countless battles to the death to prove his worth. It was the gentle compassion of Princess Euphinia that saved him, and Adel meant it fiercely when he swore to be by her side forever. So now, even with the war won, he bitterly rues his failure to protect her when it mattered most. Adel would give anything for a second chance to make things right, and he’s in luck. A mysterious being is about to offer him one wish, and he knows exactly what to ask for. He instantly finds himself transported to the past...as a beautiful woman! Prepared to make use of both his old abilities as a swordmaster and his newfound power as a Saint, Adel now leaps into action to change the course of history and save his beloved Princess Euphinia!

Upon returning to the past, Swordmaster Adel became turned into woman and gained the powers of a Saint. Now known to all as Saint Adel, she dedicates herself to training to master her newfound abilities to better protect her beloved liege, Princess Euphinia. One day, the royal court receives news that the northernmost Holy Tower in the kingdom has broken down, reverting the surrounding territory into an area filled with miasma and monsters. Hurrying to the site to handle the crisis, Adel encounters a force already in battle against the monsters, led by none other than Mad Emperor Tristan, who was deeply involved in the plot that took Euphinia’s life in the previous timeline! Her immediate impulse is to leave him to his demise, but strangely, he now seems nothing like the cruel and calculating man Adel once knew... Uncertain who is friend or foe, Adel once again summons her newfound powers and steadfast allies to fend off the darkness lurking in the kingdom’s shadows!

Still coming to terms with having turned into a woman, Saint Adel continues dedicating herself as a knight escort to stave off looming global tragedy. As leaders of the Four World Powers gather in Welna for a world summit, Adel encounters two more Eminents: Chloe Navarra, the Artificer Saint, and Katina Astal, the Legion Saint. The former turns out to be the granddaughter of Cardinal Navarra, while the latter is a childhood friend who had grown up alongside Adel at Astal Orphanage. Adel maintains a wary eye on Chloe while cheering on Katina, who will probably become lovers with Prince Julian, Princess Euphinia’s older brother, like in the previous timeline. However, Adel and Euphinia find themselves suddenly transported to an isolated space in the middle of dinner and warned of the imminent approach of a terrifying threat! Not knowing who is friend or foe, Adel once again summons both her newfound powers and steadfast allies to fend off the darkness lurking in the kingdom’s shadows!

Despite having been turned into a woman in the process of returning to the past, Adel continues devoting herself to protecting her beloved liege, Princess Euphinia, as one of her knight escorts. With the Legion Saint incident still casting a quiet shadow over her heart, Adel accompanies Euphinia on a diplomatic mission to the Holy Kingdom of Rakul—Adel’s birth country. For some reason, the guide assigned to their delegation welcomes Adel with almost excessive enthusiasm. And to her even greater surprise, the Rakulian ceremony she participates in alongside Euphinia reveals that Adel possesses the blood of the Rakulian royal family! Will this revelation tear the two apart?!
