Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside

A disgraced hero finds redemption in herbs, love, and a countryside that refuses to forget.

Red, a low‑rank adventurer with a dream of opening a humble apothecary, finally settles in the quiet borderlands of Zoltan. He spends his days tending herbs, serving the occasional traveler, and savoring the simple rhythm of rural life. His modest existence is upended when Princess Rit of Loggervia—an adventurous noble who has abandoned her own duties—moves in as his assistant and partner, eager to share his tranquil world. Beneath Red’s gentle smile lies a secret: he is actually Gideon, the estranged brother of the famed Hero Ruti Ragnason. After the Sage Ares Drowa deemed him a liability during the final clash with the Demon Lord, Gideon was cast out of the Hero’s party and forced to abandon his destiny. Now, even as he builds a new life far from the battlefield, whispers of his past linger, threatening to shatter the peace he’s fought so hard to earn. With Rit’s unwavering support and a growing community of quirky locals, Gideon must confront the lingering shadows of his former glory while learning that true heroism can also be found in a quiet garden and a well‑brewed potion.
