The Tainted Saintess

In a world ruled by the absolute authority of the Pontiff, Saintess Lillia stands against the exploitation of the people. Yet, she is cast aside and deemed unnecessary by the so-called divine one. Betrayed and discarded, she is reduced to slavery, her name stained by whispers of corruption. Shunned and abandoned, no one dares to help her—until the Grand Duke, Deus Selion, steps in to save her. Could this Grand Duke be the divine messenger destined to save the empire and its people, as Lillia had foretold?(Source: Lezhin US) Note: Part of Lezhin's Erofan Short Story Collection (에~로판 단편선) or the Steamy Collection in English.
