The political maneuverings don't really make sense to me in this chapter. A dragon is ravaging the kingdom of Pekeita, and the Saint was dispatched to do her job but died because she was so evil she lost her powers...and then the kingdom of Pekeita blames the kingdom who dispatched her for her death in their kingdom trying to solve their problem? For some reason the Crown Prince feels the need to take responsibility for something that was 100% the Saints fault in every conceivable way. So he declares he'll step down and create the opportunity for his evil brother to rise to power, but its ok because he'll recommend his non-evil brother. Then it turns out the kingdom of Pekeita is trying to unleash a terrible evil on itself because they think its the path to getting a Saint who will hate them and will teleport away if she ever gets the opportunity. So really they'll gain no benefit, but their kingdom will be ravaged by an undead dragon until they sacrifice 10,000 subjects, an act that would cause unbelievable instability in the country.

The saint's power awakened just like that and all of a sudden she knows how to use it?
