The Beloved Child's Marriage ~Even Though It's a Fake Contract, the Elite Knight Is Too Sweet
In the kingdom of Elantine, blessed by spirits, the protective power has waned since the previous Saintess died, prompting a kingdom-wide search for a new one. Agnes, a poor baron's daughter who lost her parents young, is uninterested in the search. She works hard as an apothecary to protect her younger brother and their title.

I just feel like she lowkey has all the power? Like she could just say she's the saint but if they force her in the church she'll have the fairies curse the land, and if they leave her alone the fairies will bless the land. She's got all the fairy power and they have nothing
So what happens if the Saintess just tells the spirits to not let her be taken away? The church tries, but godlike magical beings smack them down. Do they switch to calling her a witch or something?
I hate it when characters loudly talk about information they're trying to keep secret in public spaces.
So is she going to be found out because of the rose thing, or because they're looking for recently married women now?
