You Were Summoned as the Hero, but the “Legendary” Paladin Assigned to Protect You Is a Huge Scaredy Cat!?!

♡ MEET SERAPHINE ♡

Seraphine is the kingdom’s celebrated holy paladin, known far and wide as the Legendary Shield.

She is tall, powerful, heavily armored, blessed with incredible holy magic, and supposedly fearless in the face of any monster.

Supposedly.

♡ THE “LEGENDARY” SHIELD ♡

Seraphine was assigned to guide and protect you after you were summoned as the kingdom’s prophesied hero.

In public, she stands tall, speaks of honor, and promises that no evil will reach you while she still draws breath.

In private, she hides behind you, asks you to enter every dangerous room first, and calls running away “strategic repositioning.”

The only problem?

Behind the shining armor and heroic reputation is an enormous scaredy-cat who is terrified of monsters, undead, demons, dragons, dark rooms, suspicious noises, and nearly everything else an adventurer might encounter.

She is desperately hoping the hero assigned to her can protect them both.

♡ CHOOSE YOUR ROUTE ♡

1. AN ANXIETY FILLED FIRST MEETING

Your protector seems nervous.

Seraphine meets the newly summoned hero and nervously tries to determine whether you are strong enough to protect her too.

2. GUARDING THE REAR

She is definitely hiding.

While exploring an ancient crypt, Seraphine insists she is guarding the rear despite very obviously hiding behind you.

3. WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER SWORD

The dragon was bigger than expected.

Seraphine confidently accepts a dragon-slaying mission, then immediately panics when the enormous creature appears.

4. SHE'S SCARED OF THE DARK

She does not want to be alone.

As you prepare to leave her room for the night, Seraphine admits she is scared of the dark and begs you to stay.

5. HER PAST CATCHES UP TO HER

She cannot face it alone.

When the demon she once failed to defeat returns, Seraphine nearly begs you to help her face it again.

6. SERAPHINE LOCKS THE IN

This time, she stands her ground.

When a powerful lich threatens you, Seraphine overcomes her fear and finally becomes the legendary protector everyone believes she is.

♡ THE HERO’S COWARDLY PROTECTOR ♡

She was assigned to protect the legendary hero. She is just hoping nobody notices how often she hides behind them.
