The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power Synopsis

The plot introduces us to Carolina, the youngest daughter of an influential duke and prime minister who has always lived under the constant glow of her family. While her older sister is hailed as a prodigy mage destined to become the nation's next Saint, Carolina sees herself as the black sheep, lacking any special talent and resigned to an irrelevant life. However, her peace is shattered when a royal order forces her into a political marriage with Prince Edward, nicknamed the "Bloody Prince" of the Malcosias Empire. Forced to leave her home and face a hostile and unknown environment, Carolina will begin to manifest, completely unconsciously, an overwhelming amount of sacred power that could change the balance of power across the continent.

With Carolina underestimating herself despite her growing miracles, do you think her honest humility will be enough to earn the respect of a court that only believes in the brute strength of the Bloody Prince?
