Description
Carolina Sánchez, scion of Celestia's Duke Sanchez family, suffered under systematic psychological abuse from her elder sister Flora. While Flora cultivated a benevolent public image, she privately tormented Carolina, blaming her for their mother's death in childbirth and reinforcing Carolina's perceived inadequacies. This manipulation cemented Carolina's identity as the "Sanchez family disgrace," convinced she was inherently inferior to Flora, the celebrated prodigious mage and sainthood candidate.
Sent to the Malcosian Empire for a political marriage, Carolina braced for rejection from her rumored cruel and bloodthirsty husband, Prince Edward Ruby Martinez. Instead, Edward and the imperial family, including Empress Martinez, welcomed her with genuine warmth and acceptance. This supportive environment allowed Carolina to gradually question the negative self-perceptions Flora had instilled. Despite initial trauma-induced hesitations, her relationship with Edward deepened into mutual respect and affection, leading to marriage.
Carolina’s self-discovery intensified during her honeymoon in Count Kissinger’s domain. Magical testing shattered her lifelong belief in powerlessness, revealing immense latent "Divinity" that surpassed Flora’s capabilities. Her holy powers manifested unconsciously through unexplained miracles, such as neutralizing mana-beast threats and healing Prince Gilbert’s life-threatening illness, positioning her as pivotal to resolving the Malcosian succession crisis.
These newfound abilities attracted political threats, notably from Celestia’s Archbishop Mills, who sought to forcibly repatriate her to exploit her powers. To protect Carolina, the imperial family orchestrated the public Saintly Trials tournament, aiming to formally recognize her sainthood and undermine external schemes. The trials also exposed Flora’s manipulations and the truth about their mother’s legacy. Carolina’s journey culminated in a direct confrontation with Flora, where she leveraged her status and support network to decisively reject her sister’s influence and affirm her own identity.
Throughout these events, Carolina navigated complex relationships, including her bond with her loyal handmaiden Marisa Kissinger, whose history intertwined with imperial politics. Carolina’s resilience and compassion ultimately transformed her legacy from "disgrace" to revered saint and imperial consort, securing her place within the Malcosian Empire.
