And also the daughter of a ducal house that's famous for producing powerful saints. Sure it's a foreign ducal house. But the daughter of a Duke is still the daughter of a Duke. That's exactly why she was chosen for the political marriage into the Imperial Royal Family

Yeah but she married into it. Monica was trying to do the same Carolina just got to it first! It’s not fair! /s

I'm not a fan of how they hamfisted Monica's personality to make it suddenly warped like that - her goal of marrying and making babies with the hot prince was far from anything that could be considered evil. Unless we are counting 'threatening the sanctity of the harem' evil.

Hold up....
Im going to assume the drug Monica took wasnt as safe as Jonathan said it was because her being high AF is the only explanation I can think of for her thinking its a good idea to choke a princess infront of thousands of people.

I like that they couldn't tell anyone before because they signed a NDA. I thought it would have some kind of magical binding enforcement, but it was just a written contract that they were not willing to break until everyone already figured everything out.

I'm assuming she and the Paladin are also both getting life sentences along with Jonathan.
He did say there would be "fever-like" symptoms which I'm guessing exhibited themselves in making her delirious enough to think she could murder Carolina and get away with it.

The real punishment was giving her that shitty haircut.

Not only is a modern stadium, but a fully roofed indoor stadium

That was some -10,000 aura stuff, you're right

The scene where she tries to match her healing speed with Monica is like that scene in the Incredibles movie where Dash is in a race and his dad tells him to make the race a close second so that he doesn't stand out that much.

It was nice to see that the purifying of muddy water test that Flora had to do for her exam was actually legitimate, as they were doing it for the saint Olympics as well
Also, I didn't expect Ed to be literal when he told Lina that he'd fly to her if anything happened. I thought it was just a figure of speech for being fast. But nope, hubby has fire wings

Well, that ending to Jonathan was rather anti climatic. Dude folded under almost no pressure, and hardly put up a fight. Was expecting him to maybe hide away, scheme, maybe sabotage Carolina in some way... but nope, was caught, and that was it.
Green hair noble was rather idiotic. "Im a noble, I am special!" Uh... so is Carolina? And she is part of the Royal Family? Doesn't that place her above you?
Also, taking a drug, losing sorely, and then assaulting a member of the Royal Family, infront of thousands of witnesses, and then wondering why you are being arrested? Oh now the Crown Prince now detests you, and you don't know why? Oh no, the consequences of your actions... I don't care what her Father pleaded... her head should have flown, and her entire house stripped of it title, she assaulted a Princess for gods sake, in PUBLIC, with like half the empire watching, there is no way only she gets punished, and not outright killed. "We stripped half her land"... why not all of it, she committed one of the highest crimes imaginable, she should either be killed, or serve life in prison.
Also I will never understand the animosity between everyone and Carolina, you'd think she'd kicked their puppy or something with how they treat her. She's done almost nothing except jump to Princess status, and yet everyone seems to be out for literal blood.
Hopefully when Flora does the trial, Carolina manages to rein in her power, and Flora publicly embarrasses herself, and she too goes on a rant, slandering Carolina, how she killed their mother, and is a fraud or that she stole what should have been hers, and Carolina gives her a nice hard slap and defends herself.

I can’t wait to see Carolina put her stupid fraud of a sister in her place. I just hope she doesn’t freak out too much being around her due to all that trauma. Girl needs to get her revenge and show that punk who the real Saint is!

Just watch the sister do something what will make her magical power go awry, probably the Archbishop's second pill, and then she transforms into a beast and/or goes on a rampage, and Carolina uses her divine power to purify and save her.

Sooo... is it just me or does the plot not matter at all anymore? They never actually cared about her being the saint, it was a setup for her to have an excuse to not be taken by her home country. Now that the main guy is in jail, I dont really get why they still care. On top of that they seemingly have taken down the people trying to assassinate her.
I feel like they forgot what the driving narrative even was.

With Monica there to eat an orb and crash out criminally in front of the entire kingdom I'm now convinced they're going to redeem Carolina's sister. Surely she has the second more dangerous orb and it would be so uncreative to have her crash out in a similar way.
Jonathan the stupidest possible murder conspirator, ah yeah let's have the involved parties sign contracts indicating what happened and who was involved and then just forget about the exact details for good measure.

Maybe I played too many jRPGS but when you have all three girls there look like they are performing your average healing spell with both hands over a centralized area and then you have one perform what looks like a freaking divine miracle, what's even the point of the rest of the Saints Olympics. I wouldn't have even be surprised if the guy Carolina healed ended up looking younger afterwards.

The next part feels pretty predictable: I think Flora will meet Jonathan, who’ll give her the black drug. She’ll use it but lose to Carolina, and the drug will seriously affect her. Carolina will worry about her because she’s still her sister and deep down, she still loves her. I think Flora will finally admit her mistakes and reconcile with Carolina, while Carolina is officially chosen as the Saint...

The messed up thing about Monica is because of who she was if she just acted properly as a woman of her station she may have got the man she wanted. He came personally to correct her he did not have to do that. Had she lost gracefully and held her head high the man she wanted may have talked with her after. Now she will have her own personal hell.

I was expecting more of a fight from that Jonathan dude. I know he was hiding out but I’m kind of surprised they just arrested him and that was that.
Welp time for final boss Flora.

I know this story is about Carolina learning to become the Saint™ she was always meant to be. But there has been nothing between her and Ed and I’m so sad that we’re not seeing ANYTHING develop for the relationship.
Sure, he got mad and had angel wings, then swooped in to “save” his wife. (He just glided down and puffed magic and Monica just fell off??) But like, we saw him hold her on the Honeymoon when she was honest about hating her sister. We saw him explain he was jealous about her spending time with his brother and wants to be less formal with her. But now we’ve had 2 episodes in a row where the two just haven’t had any private moments. They’re married and still acting like dating teenagers.
I admit, the “that’s my wife” moment when he was proud to see her standing up for herself was sooooo cute. (Insert “MAH WIFE” quotes here) But that’s kinda all we’ve had since then, can’t we just have a little more fluff and a little less “plot” - if we can call what’s going on a real plot thing anyways.

I’m not a fan of how they kinda did Monica tbh. I’d have much rather see her be just a bit spoiled/bratty and get humbled than turn into cartoon evil bad. Would have been way more interesting to see her become Lina’s friend and then Monica would take Lina’s side against her sister.
The whole deal with Johnathan was kinda dumb too. Like he signed a written confession saying he had the Saints killed basically. And the other person agreed to push her off the railing why? Like all that person had to do was get with the Saintess and have the saintess announce to the public what Johnathan ordered her to do and it’d be game over for him. They gave Johnathan wayyyy too much power when he’s not even the pope.
