    NU Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/a-saint-who-was-adopted-by-the-grand-duke/
    Chapters: 4 chapters out (prologue + 3).
    Description: "I was forced to live in captivity for the rest of my life because I happened to be aware of the fact that I was a saint. I was truly a ‘real’ saint, but that didn’t matter, because there was already a designated saint in the temple.

    When I died from all the abuse I endured, I was sent back to a time before all those previous events in my life had happened. After 15 regressions, I was exhausted. I prayed, “I don’t want anything to do with this, so please just let me die,”

    And at that moment when I could finally be able to die, someone said, “How about being my daughter?”

    …. That monstrous duke had adopted me."

    There's a lot I want to know about.
    Revenge on the temple, Rabienne (imposter saint!!!), Khalid (imposter saint's knight...), etc!? :blobcat_knife:
    ML!? (I read something that kinda spoiled it ... but I'm taking it with a grain of salt ;A; )
    - Leo
    - Noah (Crown Prince?)
    Can someone spoil us with a quick summary on them and how they met Daina?
    "All of a sudden, Leo? I don't think he's a bad guy. I would have liked to see the two of them (Leo and Daina) fit in a bit better together in the side story."

    What did Leo do?

    And,

    "Okay, so who's this Leo dude? He seems like a new addition.
    At a glance, he looks like a character created by the writer to induce Noah's jealousy."

    -

    I think the ML is Noah.

    Major spoiler (?):

    There was another person who said something like, "you're irredeemable Khalid (Khalid likes Daina), no matter what you do, the female lead (Daina) will marry the Crown Prince (Noah?)."

    EDITTT ~~ i found it:
    "The holy knight (Khalid) who served that impostor saintess (Rabienne), why didn't he just go to the front lines (of war?) and never return...
    There's already no room for the temple to intervene between the female lead (Daina) and the Crown Prince.
    When you hear the news of Daina and the Crown Prince's marriage, you can spend the rest of your life regretting to your heart's content.
    No matter how much you turn back time, the female lead is going to choose the Crown Prince as her husband.
    This is a terrible, terrible punishment the goddess is giving to you, Khalid."

    ...

    ... I need spoilers...
    How does the author repay Daina for all the abuse she threw at her (other than being adopted by that murderous Grand Duke...) :blobcat_knife:
    Happy Ending?
    If you finished the novel, what parts did you like and dislike?
    Also, ... any and all spoilers welcome, the ones above^^ is just for my curiosity.

    Ester was astonished to see the variety of food in the table. She was drooling over chicken. Judy take one chicken drumstick for him and give another to Ester. At first Ester tried to refuse but he said the chef can always cook more. There were various sizes of forks so Ester was confused which one to use. When she tried to cut the chicken her hand slips and some seasoning fell on the table cloth. Ester tried to rub it off using her hand but it spread more. She thought they would scold her but contrary to her thought Deheen(the grand Duke) ordered the servents to change the table cloth. When Ester asked why didn't they get angry for ruining a pricious cloth, he answered that there was nothing to be scold about a table cloth. Deheen and Dennis (twin bro of Judy) got up from table first. Ester ate a lot but Judy told her that she ate a little like a bird. He also made a appointment with her at 2 pm to meet Sebastin. For Ester, time was passing slowly as she was eagerly waiting to go out with Judy. At 2 pm, she took some cookies in a basket and went down. She waited for Judy but he didn't came. Ester was disappointed. When she was about to go back a escort came running. He handed over a note to Ester which was from Judy. Judy wrote in a hurry that he was suddenly busy and told her to wait for him in Havel's garden. Ester went with Dorothy(Ester's maid) to Havel's garden. Havel was awarded as a best gardener of the empire and now was working as a grand duke's gardener. Havel's garden was very beautiful. Suddenly a fat kid with fair skin came and asked Ester if she was Judy's little sister. He grabbed Eater's arm by force and trow her to the ground. Dorothy tried to stop Sebastin but couldn't stop him because Sebastin was from a duke's family (I forgot the duke's name). Sebastin threaten Dorothy to back away. There was also two more kid with Sebastin. Sebastin was grown up in nobility so he despised those who were not noble. Sebastin criticized Ester for not being pureblood. He also vent Judy's anger on Ester(Judy was a little body to Sebastin which he didn't like). After they left Ester crouched on a bench. Dorothy tried to soothe her but Ester smiled at her and said it was okay. She thought what Sebastin said was true. It didn't hurt her at all. She was almost asleep but wake up from a feeling of something. It was a dog. The dog belonged to Judy and it's name was Happy. Ester shared some cookies with Happy. She wanted to share those with Judy but she was fine with it because to her it was okay as long as there was someone beside her.

    Actually Judy heard that there was going to be a talking bird in an auction. That's why he sent a note to Ester and told her to wait for him in the Havel's garden. He was so excited for the talking bird that he didn't notice that much time has passed. To his disappointment there was no talking bird in the auction. He thought Ester didn't wait for him because he was this late. On his way back home he brought a rabbit doll because he thought that it resembles Ester. When he reached home and asked the butler about Ester, the butler said that Ester didn't returned. It was darkening outside. So he dropped the rabbit doll and rushed to the Havel's garden. He ran so fast that his throat was dry. He saw Ester was sitting with a depressed face. Ester smiled when she saw him and told him it was okay because she didn't wait for him.Rather she was there because she liked it. When Ester tried to get up her feet felt numb because she was sitting for a long time(almost three hours). Judy gave her a piggy back ride. At first Ester tried to refuse but Judy was stubborn so she accepted it. Ester thought that Judy's back was warm and reliable. Ester soon fall asleep in Judy's back. While carrying Ester Judy thought that his top priority will be promises with Ester from now on. He also wanted Ester to smile. Even though Ester was as light as a feather she felt heavy to Judy. So he decided to train harder in order to be strong. He dropped Ester in her bed. At that moment Dennis came in. Judy asked why didn't he asked about Ester all day. Dennis said he was busy with studying. Dennis asked if Judy cared for Ester but Judy denied. Suddenly Ester made noise in her sleep. It seems that she was having a nightmare. Both Judy and Dennis was worried. They both hold Ester's hand at the same time.
    ***
    In Rabienne's pov, she was going to meet current saint Cespia. Cespia's room located in the southern part of the temple. The guard who was standing in front of Cespia's room was Vedor. Vedor handed Rabienne a bowl of medicine. Rabienne take out a little bottle and added two drops of medicine inside the medicine bowl. Then she made eye contact with the guard and smiled. Cespia wasn't sick a few days ago. But her condition got worse day by day. She was as skinny as skeleton. When Rabienne tried to feed her the medicine Cespia rejected. Because the medicine made her feel even more worse. Rabienne was troubled and told her that she have to take the medicine for Rabienne's sake. Cespia drank the medicine at Rabienne's word. She complimented Rabienne by saying that she was a good girl who care for Cespia. Rabienne told her she will be well soon. Cespia soon close her blue eyes. Seeing this Rabienne smiled broadly (So basically she is poisoning Cespia little by little).
    ***
    When Ester woke up she felt tired. A rabbit doll fell off from her lap. Judy suddenly peeked from the door and when he saw that Ester was awoke he shouted. Then Judy, Dennis, Deheen, Ben and other servents poured in Ester's room. Deheen told her that she didn't woke up for two days. Then he raised his hand. Ester thought Deheen was angry at her but he only checked her body temperature.

    Seven doctors came inside Ester's room. The doctor's were afraid to go first so they sent the lowest rank doctor Evian first. Evian knew that Ester was from temple and looked at her with contempt but it was only for a moment. He grabbed Ester's wrist and examine her. After he checked Ester, he told Deheen that there was nothing wrong with Ester. She was just weak and was thinner than her peers. Other doctors also examined Ester after that. Deheen was super worried and wanted to bring more doctor but Ester stopped him. She was trying to control her tears that was about to fall. So she grabbed anything beside her. She grabbed the rabbit doll. Judy told her that he brought it because it looked like her. But even though Ester thought it looked opposite to her, she smiled. Judy, Dennis and Deheen hugged her before leaving the room. After everyone left, Ester laughed alone for a long time. When her laughter stopped, tears filled her eyes.
    ***
    Evian was a low ranking doctor who worked for Deheen. Even though his rank was low his skill was good. He has a special power that no one knows. He can detect divinity. it was a power only prist in the temple had. When he held Ester's hand, he felt a huge scale of divinity which was yet to be exposed. At first he was curious why the great grand duke adopt a child like her, but after learning Ester's secret, he thought that Deheen adopted her because he knew about her power. Evian was excited to know this secret. He was in a good mood, because of this secret he thought his future was going to change(I think he was the one who informed the temple about Ester's power).
    ***
    Ester stayed in her room for a few days. There was doctor who was visiting her in two times a days. Special meal was prepared for her. Ester was fiddling with her rabbit doll but stop at the sound of heavy rain and thunder. She closed her eyes tightly. Dorothy thought that she was scared because of thunder. So she close the window and curtain and asked Ester if she should stay with her. Ester denied. After Dorothy left she crept up in her bed. She was afraid of rainy day because most of the time Rabienne came when it rains. She started to remember her dark memories. No matter how much Ester begged Rabienne and said that it was her fault and she was sorry, Rabienne whipped her mercilessly and told her that she will be Rabienne's slave untill Rabienne die. Suddenly it thunder again the the light in Ester's room went out. She was traumatized and began to scratch her skin. She begged to kill her and sobbed helplessly.
    ***
    Deheen was a workaholic and working in his office without caring about the weather. Ben interrupted him nervously and said that the maid said Ester was afraid of thunder. Deheen was angry at him for not telling him earlier as his family is always his first priority. He had a bad hunch and rushed to Ester's room. When he reached near her room he heard Ester was crying. Ester's room was dark so he ordered Ben to bring candle. He could easily find Ester because of her crying. After Ester came back to her sense and saw Deheen she asked him to kill her. Deheen was angry and told her that he will never kill her. Even though he never soothed a child in his life, he tried to comfort Ester by saying that she was not in the temple and it was her house. He hugged Ester and told her that he will stay with her untill the rain stops. He asked Ester if she was afraid of thunder. Ester replied that she was and she was trapped and Rabienne... . Ester stopped at Rabienne's name because she almost revealed her past. She quickly denied that what she told was a mistake. Deheen was suspicious but said nothing. Suddenly Judy came into the room with a sleepy face. He was worried about Ester and came to check on her. He pinched Ester's cheeks by saying the she was a baby who was afraid of thunder. He then pouted at Deheen by saying that Deheen never comforted him when he was afraid. Deheen apologized to him. Judy fell asleep beside Ester and after a while Ester fell asleep too. Deheen was looking at the two angel for a long time and regretted for being indifferent toward the twins. He thought he should spend more time with his three children.

    The next morning when Ester woke up she felt stuffy feeling at her chest. When she opened her eyes she saw that Judy's leg was lifted over Ester's belly. She pushed away Judy's leg and tried to move. But someone was holding Ester's left hand tightly. It was Deheen. He was sleeping in a chair in an uncomfortable position. When Ester tried to move her hand away Deheen woke up. Deheen tried to wake Judy but he was a good sleeper so he couldn't wake Judy up. He left Ester and Judy to rest more. Ester opened the window to see outside but Judy grumbled by saying it was cold. Ester thought Judy was more important so she closed the window. Ester wanted to change her habit of sleeping in the floor. So she tried to sleep in bed with Judy again.
    ***
    Ester and Deheen acted the same as if nothing had happened yesterday. After breakfast, Ester went to her room and was eating pie. Dorothy asked Ester if she wanted to go anywhere as there were many places to visit. Suddenly Simone nock at the door. It was Dennis. He asked Ester with a smile if she wanted to take a walk in the garden with him. Unlike his appearance, Ester thought that his eyes were not smiling. Ester accepted his offer. Dorothy wanted to go with Ester too but Dennis declined the offer. When she came out with Dennis to take a walk, Dennis changed his direction. Instead of taking a walk in garden, he took Ester in a much difficult road. Soon they were in frond of a secret hole. Dennis went out first. Ester followed him behind without much hesitation. Dennis took Ester to a village market. On their way to the market Dennis told Ester that he was not ready to accept Ester as a sister. Ester said it was okay. In the market Dennis brought various books for a long time and Ester followed him without being annoyed. Suddenly Dennis stopped and said that there was some place that he needed to go alone. Ester thought Dennis was abandoning her in the middle of large crowd and thought it was okay. She let Dennis go. She remembered the warmth of grand duke and Judy while staring at Dennis's back.
    ***
    As Ester expected, Dennis didn't return even after two hours. A group of bullies came and asked which house she was from. Ester was wearing noble cloth so it was normal to catch the eyes of such people. Even though there was a lot of people around her, no one appporced Ester to help her from the bullies. One of the bullies tried to touch Ester's shoulder but Ester shook his hand off. Then she bring out a small knife. The bullies thought that Ester was trying to threaten them but Ester did the opposite. She cut the back of her hand with that knife and a lot of blood came out. Then she asked the bullies to kill her. The bullies was shocked by her behaviour and ran away. After the bullies left, she thought dying like this won't be bad even though she felt regret for Deheen and Judy. She was strangely relieved that to they didn't kill her as she wanted to experienced warmth a few more days. Then she looked up in the sky with a complicated mind.
    ***
    Actually the bullies was sent by Dennis. The bullies were normal people who was hired by Dennis. Dennis was angry at the bullies because Ester was hurt. He sent the bullies because he just wanted to see her reaction. But he never imagined Ester would hurt herself like that and asked them to kill her. Dennis thought his father's and Judy's behaviour towards Ester was strange. They were never that kind of people. Dennis only agreed to adopt a sister because he thought Judy was bored and if a sister came it will be the same. He was curious about Ester and what was special about her that his father and Judy was attached to her. But her attitude a little while ago proved that she was not afraid to die. It was Dennis who was emotional and angry at the sight of her hurting her body carelessly. Dennis went back to the middle of the market where Esther was waiting, trying to calm himself down. Ester, who recognized Dennis from afar, waved her hand. Dennis confessed that the bullies were sent by him and he saw it all. He get angry at Ester and told her not to get hurt again. Ester was embarrassed and said yes. On their way back, Ester saw a mother was holding her child's hand tightly in case he get lost. She was looking at the scene even after they disappeared. Dennis asked if she was envious. Ester denied. Dennis said that he doesn't care because he don't have a mother. Then he held Ester's hand tightly and said to her that instead of her mother, he will hold her hand. Ester was embarrassed but didn't shake his hand off. Dennis asked her to call him brother and he took back all the bad words he said earlier. Ester was surprised that he changed his mind quickly. They came back to the mansion using the secret hole.

    A few days later after that incident, at meal time Dennis got a good scolding from Deheen. Dennis applozied and said that he just wanted to be friends with Ester. Deheen said that it was a weird way to be a friend. Ester's heart melted at Dennis's word. The atmosphere in the dining room was heavy, so to ease the atmosphere Deheen brought the twins birthday party subject. Their birthday was in three months and Deheen was trying to introduce Ester officially then. He was thinking of hiring a top teacher to teach Ester studies and ethequet.
    ***
    After finishing the meal, Deheen headed to his office. Ben reported him that Ester was never tortured in the temple. Deheen was worried because Ester behaviour at the rainy day was too real to call an act. Ben also reported that Rabienne Brions doesn't have any connections with Ester in the temple. He also found the place where Ester lived before the temple bought her six years ago.
    ***
    Two weeks later, Ester was drawing in her room. She never imagined that she could one day use so much expensive papers. She draw a doughnut in front of her. At that time Dennis came in. When he saw Ester drawing he asked her to draw him too. At first Ester tried to refuse him. Because when she was in temple, everyone criticized her painting. But now she was not in the temple but grand duchy, so she decided to change. She started sketch Dennis. When she was drawing, Dennis was observing her. He noticed a weird thing. That is Ester pink eyes changed it colour and became sperkling golden. When he look at her next moment, her eyes were normal again. So he thought that he saw it wrong. Ester finished drawing Dennis real first and when he saw it he was speechless. Ester's painting was at the same level as a high ranking painter in the empire. In addition the painting look divine. It was hard to believe that Ester was just 12 years old. Dennis praised Ester for her painting and she was embarrassed. After Dennis left, in Ester's mind, the desire to not wanting die was growing. She wanted to hear another compliment. Ester's glistening eyes regain their normal shape after that.

    Dennis was exited over Ester's work. Butler Delbert was happy to see Dennis who was showing interest in someone other than book. Dennis told Delbert that he may like Ester more than books. Delbert was emotional and wiped his eyes seeing such Dennis.
    ***
    Deheen was irritated after his long day work. But when Delbert reported about Ester his facial expression lossened. Deheen wanted to see Ester art in Dennis's room right away but it was late at night, so the butler stopped him.
    ***
    It has been a month since Ester was here. Every day she wear pretty clothes and eat delicious foods. Ester was happy to be here but she didn't forget her past. She took out a knife from her drawer and cut her fingers. But her finger healed quickly. After that she cut her arm but it also healed soon. She felt strange so she looked at the mirror in her room. When she looked at mirror, she saw her back of the hands were dimly shining. That position and mark were clearly scarred when the awakening of the saint appeared. She rubbed her eyes quickly and when she saw it again, it was gone. For generations, this pattern came of the saint only came when the previous saint dies. But there was no news of Cespia's death was announced by temple. So Ester was confused.
    ***
    Ester find Dorothy in the hallway and told her to bring seed of a sacred flower named "Hyacinth". It was a flower that was a symbol of goddess. The only place where Hyacinth was found was temple. Dorothy was worried since it was the first time Ester asked for something. She agreed to her request. The reason Ester asked to bring Hyacinth was because she wanted to test if has the power of a saint or not. Hyacinth grow rapidly when the divinity is high. Ester eyes was blurred.
    ***
    In a warm afternoon, while Deheen was discussing with Ben about Ester's teacher, he saw Ester was walking alone in garden without a maid. Deheen approached Ester. He crouched and made his eye level same with her. Deheen complimented Ester's painting of Dennis. Ester asked if she could draw him too and Deheen agreed. They found a good spot to seat in the garden. Ester started drawing. Both Ester and Deheen was observing each other. Ester eyes was as sparkling as ever. Seeing Ester like this, Deheen told Ester in a deep voice that she can do whatever she want. There was warmth in his voice. Ester thanked him. Soon Ester's painting was finished. Both Deheen and Ben was surprised to see her painting. They both complimented her and said that she was god gifted. With a very serious look on their faces, the two began the debate, asking for Esther's solo exhibition. And DeHeen's terrible daughter bragging began on this day.
    ***
    Deheen attended a local dinner in the eastern part of the country to which the territory of Tercia belongs. Many aristocrats joined the dinner. When the dinner started with, Deheen signaled the maid. Then the maid came with a square object. He reached for the object. When he removed the insignia without hesitation, there was a frame underneath.

    It was the portrait which was drawn by Ester. Everyone began to chatter. They thought that it was drawn by some high level artist. Deheen was very satisfied and proud with their reaction. He declared that it was his daughter who had drawn the portrait. He invited the nobles to attend Ester's formal party. Deheen wanted to publicize Ester's existence. After his purpose was achieved he slipped out from the dinner and came into the balcony. There he met Benjamin. Benjamin was a person who was loyal to Deheen and always gave cradit to others. Benjamin asked Deheen a favour. Benjamin told him that the picture's sanctity is strong. Benjamin was in charge of a local temple management. So he noticed the sacredness of the picture. Deheen thought it was because Ester was a saint candidate. Benjamin asked Deheen to let Ester draw a portrait of Noah(the ml). Noah couldn't open his eyes and there was not much time left for him(he was about to die). Benjamin cared for Noah so he wanted to have a sacred portrait of Noah. Deheen sighed and told him that he will ask Ester for her permission.

    Rabienne visit the saints room everyday. Today she was sitting with the saint. The saint told Rabienne that she saw the next saint in her dream. When Rabienne asked about her dream with a white lotus look, the saint try to remember her dream. She began to spoke and said that the next saint has grayish brown hair. Rabienne's hair was not ash brown, so Rabienne was shocked. Cespia soon understand the situation and told her she saw it wrong and the next saint was Rabienne. Rabienne was not convinced by her word. Rabienne fed her the medicine and Cespia soon fell asleep. Rabienne was anxious fearing that the next saint might not be her. She left Cespia's room and wanted to check the saint candidate with grayish brown hair. But someone came to her sight and she gave a real smile this time. It was Kane. She asked Kane if her mother sent him. Kane handed her gifts sent by her relatives. She asked Noah's letter from Kane. But there was no letter from Noah because he was unconscious. Rabienne was worried which was rare sincerity. Rabienne wanted to visit Noah secretly. Kane was worried because Noah was Rabienne's ex-fiance and it could cause Rabienne to lose her position. Rabienne was stubborn. Kane looked over her since childhood so he had no choice but agree and keep it a secret from duke and duchess. After Kane left, Noah was in Rabienne's mind for a long time. She muttered that 'don't die' with the deep feeling about Noah in her dimmed expression.

    Ester was in the garden with a distressed look because the Hyacinth she planted yesterday after grew as the same size as Ester in one day. There was also bud and wicks already in bloom. The higher the divinity was, the faster the development. Ester thought she had one more year left. But her power was already awekening. Ester didn't want to die anymore. She hit her forehead hard against the tree. When she tried to do it again Deheen's hand blocked her forehead. Deheen was worried about Ester and thought she was depressed because of the tree. So he wanted to cut it but Ester refused. Deheen asked Ester about Benjamin's request. Ester agreed to his request. Ester asked him if there was any news from the temple. But Deheen couldn't hear her because he was smiling by himself while seeing cute Ester.

    Two days later, Esther was taken somewhere in a carriage. The destination was a secret. The horseman told her to go alone from some point on. If she did she will found a cabin. The horseman was pointing at a forest so Ester was suspicious. The horseman gave her two hours to finish her work. When Ester followed horseman's instruction and went ahead, she found a sanctuary. She was surprised to see a sanctuary in a place like there. As she looked around, she found a cabin. She opened the cabin's door carefully. It was a lonely and cold cabin unlike outside world. There was a room in the corner. The chill in the cabin seemed to be coming out from there.

    As she slowly reached out her hand and grabbed the door knob of the room, a cold energy came up in her hand. When the door opened and the view of the room caught her eye. Someone was sleeping on an overly fancy bed, out of harmony with the cottage.There was no answer even if she waited, so she crept closer to the bed. A boy who sleeps without moving his breath. Noah. Esther stopped breathing as soon as she saw Noah's face. It was a purely admirable appearance. A distinct feature that does not fit into a small face. A chubby nose, straight forehead, deep eyes. Even the dark eyebrows were very attractive. He was definitely the same age as Esther, and besides the softness of the boy, he had a mixed impression of maturity. The red lips contrasted with the white skin were thick. The words "pretty" and "more beautiful" were more appropriate for the statue-like appearance that God made. Esther was startled by her unknowingly reaching out her hand in hand. Not many men knew Esther, who had been locked up in the temple. Khalid and DeHeen, Judy and Dennis were the men whom she only knew. Otherwise, Esther had no interest in the man, but Noah was so pretty that Ester couldn't take her eyes off him. As soon as Ester started sketching, the color of Ester's eyes changed. It was a change that occurred when she used sacred power, although she did not know it herself. The divinity that had escaped from Esther flowed to the sketch of Noah. The more focused she was on drawing and the longer she draw, the more divinity she used. Long after, Esther almost completed the painting, sweating profusely. The portrait didn't felt good. No matter how hard she try, she think it's because he was lying down. And one more thing that is the most important eyes in the portrait were hollow. She didn't want to draw it with his eyes closed, so she left it empty on purposely. Esther looked at the clock, wondering what to do. There was still another half hour left on the appointment. Esther looked at Noah with her chin. Suddenly, she felt sorry for him as he was staying in a sanctuary far from the world and sleeping as if he was dead. She feel like he was trapped like she used to be.
    Clap clap
    At that time, the blue bird came in through the open window. It circled around and sat gently on Noah's hand. Now that she see, only Noah's left hand was out of the blanket. Esther unintentionally held the hand. Suddenly Noah's hands looked so big. Esther's hands were small, but the hands of Noah, who was big enough, were more than twice as big as Esther's. She was amazed by that, so she went back and forth to see if she was too mean to an unconscious person. She closed her eyes thinking that she will blessed him because she caught his hand without his permission. Esther mumbled Noah's hand lightly that she hope he will be healthy. When the prayer began, a bright light appeared that was incomparable to that of drawing. It was the strength of healing that Esther could use only at the level of a saint and the ability to use it for the first time since she realized she was a saint.
