Having lost her parents to an unfortunate incident, which led her to live with a bastard of an uncle, Maria lived a truly grievous life. Yet, in the end, his blood was the last her blade drew.

She awakens as a young princess of a small kingdom under threat of invasion from the demonkind. Vowing to protect both her kingdom and her newfound family, Maria decides to take on the mantle of a knight with her own hands. In doing so, she is determined to cope with the dangers and mysteries of this new and strange world, while meeting new people who will forever change the course of her destiny.

Was pity truly the sole reason for her reincarnation?

A cove of darkness amidst light, not everything is as it seems.

[As they say, the best things always have a second version. So let's make it bigger, better, and greater.]
