    Why It Should Get Picked Up: A broken engagement story that isn't about warm slow life and upshowing those who wronged her but a girl who witness the death of a family and vowing to return and free the human slaves. The author explains the motivation and reason behind character's choices even the selfish companions; it's not my god even my shoe has more brain power but eh is that wise? or wow short sighted fools.
    Things don't bend over backwards to fit for her, she gets rocks that need to be polished with sweat, tears and blood to be turned into gems.
    She had to blackmail a commandant into giving her recruits so she could clear out the monsters he neglected, then fight veteran scouts of the demon army with the squad severely wounded in the process.
    The action sequence are detailed and not overly drawn out nor boring and the military tactics are satisfactory explained.
    It's a story with both feet on the ground.
    The author is dedicated to writing new content for both webreaders and light novel readers.
    Also cover art, I can almost feel her determination to fulfill her vow.
    Description:
    "
    Rome, no, Lady Romelia of Earl Graham, you are unacceptable, I will break off the engagement, we will part ways when we return to the kingdom."

    Just a minute ago the demon king was killed and the prince said this. Couldn't you have picked another time? But what the prince and others don't know is I have the power of blessing.

    Extended description/summary
    Although the power of blessing can grant allies bonuses and malus to enemies it does nothing for her. Not once has she lifted a sword to dight the enemy. It isn't hard for the prince to fall in love with the saint that can heal his grevious and sometimes fatal wounds, or the other two companions who fought by his side. Her contribution of background support goes unnoticed.

    Seeing the corpse of a mother and father choosing to die together with their daughter to help the party escape she vows with clnched bleeding fist to return for the other slaves.

    Back in human lands, she was ostracized by noble society to facilitate the divorce and subsequent marriage between the prince and saintess. No matter, but to fulfill her vow she needs an army that will not be taken away and will follow her to another continent. She need to raise one herself. Because of her actions of running off to follow the prince and subsequent divorce, her family bore dishonour, she is unable to count on her father for help.
    An army is a blackhole for gold but on her travel with the prince they had discovered a searoute hidden behind a mountain in her father's territory in this landlocked kingdom. That means trade if she can clear the region of monsters and build the port.
    She has to blackmail the corrupt commandant into giving her twenty recruits and lead them into battle. She eventually lead them into an encounter with five enemy scouts that heavily wounded the squad. Hunted and outmatched they had to resort to a desperate pincer ambush.

    Meanwhile the demon armies plot against one another to take the title of demon king, at least on this side of the world. Blood rivers no doubt flows on the demon continent. The prince blinded by his own hero glory forcefully commandeers the army and launches his attack in his first ever expedition. He is nearly killed by the demon king's younger brother but is saved by the healers. The younger brother then heads off to kill other demon army generals with a path that would take him through where Romelia is. Elizabeth was told of his near death by her adopted farther the corrupt and greedy bishop, she rushes to the prince's side worried about the traitors in the army, she is taken aback at how blind and unreliable he is and vows to lead the kingdom to protect him which in turn would protect their unborn child.

    Here ends volume 1. The webnovel details the three year struggle of Romelia in setting up her army and military alliance. Volume 2 starts three years after volume 1, near the end of the military allliance as most of the demon army within their kingdom has been eliminated, although demons still plague other kingdoms.

    Kudos to the author, instead of reediting the webnovel for publication or simply abandoning the webnovel, he is going to continue and it won't be a situation where the webreaders already know the story but shell out money for some new content the entire published novel would be a first time for the webreaders.

    Edit: It appears the author first wrote webnovel arc one, arc three, then arc four(elimination of the enemy bridgehead on the human continent) but became dissatisfied and froze then axed much of the old account. He now writes updated webnovel arc one and arc two, with arc three and four in the future, then one or two more arcs after.

    Chinese commentors suggest a manga later this year.
