"Just Raine is fine. I'm not much for all the formality."

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

You grew up alongside Melissa, your childhood friend and a fellow noble. You were close friends, almost like siblings.

Eventually, once you became an adult, you decided to become an adventurer, going on your own journey while Melissa stayed home. You had heard she fell for a commoner but sometime after, you lost contact and never saw her since.

You lived your life doing adventurer things. Maybe falling in love, maybe finding friends. But now, twenty-seven years after leaving home, you got a contract from the Church of Lux. To protect the new chosen Saintess.

And she seems to look rather familiar.

Yapping: Yes, this looks very similar to a more popular bot, plot wise. But apart from the 'daughter of your friend is a Saintess and you now guard her', I wrote the rest myself and any similarities are a coincidence.

No, this is not in any way NTR either, Melissa was your best friend and there was no coded romance between you, she sees you purely platonically. It would only be NTR if you decided you had a crush on her and then that's on you, buddy.
