A dream wedding marks the beginning of Carolina's new life, but her honeymoon quickly uncovers a painful family secret that changes everything she thought she knew about Marisa.
The episode 4 of The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power starts with Carolina reflecting on the unsettling incidents surrounding her and realizing they were connected to a struggle over the imperial succession. With her engagement to Prince Edward now publicly announced and their wedding day drawing near, her peaceful routine is replaced by preparations for one of the biggest moments of her life.
Her head maid reviews the day's schedule, beginning with a wedding planning meeting alongside Prince Edward before moving on to a fitting for her wedding dress. Carolina is visibly nervous, especially knowing the prince will be arriving any moment. When Edward enters, he immediately eases the atmosphere by telling her to forget the formal greetings and focus on the meeting instead. His relaxed attitude helps calm Carolina as they discuss the ceremony together.
The discussion soon turns emotional when Edward explains that Duke Raymond will be unable to attend the wedding because of recent events. Carolina quietly accepts the news and prepares herself to walk down the aisle alone. Instead, Edward surprises her with a different plan. Rather than following tradition, he insists that the bride and groom will enter together. He refuses to let Carolina experience such a lonely moment while he enjoys walking beside his own father. His thoughtful decision leaves Carolina deeply touched and reveals just how much he genuinely cares about her feelings.
Attention then shifts to Carolina's wedding dress fitting. Although she admires the beautiful gown, she feels almost unworthy of wearing something so elegant. The Empress immediately notices several details that should be improved, explaining that Carolina's slimmer waist requires alterations and suggesting changes to the ribbon and lace to better complement her appearance. Rather than criticizing Carolina, every adjustment is made to emphasize her natural beauty, leaving the bride both surprised and embarrassed by the unexpected praise.
Prince Edward arrives during the fitting and is asked what he thinks of the finished dress. His answer is short but sincere as he simply calls Carolina beautiful. Even with those reassuring words, Carolina struggles to hide her anxiety. She admits that the ceremony will be broadcast across the empire through magical devices, making the pressure feel overwhelming. Afraid of making even the smallest mistake before countless viewers, she begins doubting herself. Fortunately, Marisa gently reminds her how hard she has worked to reach this day and encourages her to believe in herself. Those comforting words help Carolina regain enough confidence to move forward.
Before the ceremony begins, Edward quietly compliments Carolina once more, telling her she looks so beautiful that he almost wishes no one else could see her. Carolina blushes at the unexpected remark and thanks him, admitting his kindness makes her happy even if she believes he might simply be flattering her. Their awkward yet genuine exchange perfectly captures how their relationship continues to grow more comfortable.
The long-awaited royal wedding finally begins as the newlyweds are introduced before the gathered guests. Cheers and congratulations fill the venue while Carolina reflects on how wonderful the day has become. Although she still wishes her father could have been there to witness the ceremony, she chooses to treasure the happiness surrounding her instead of dwelling on what is missing.
The vows proceed with both Edward and Carolina promising to remain together through sickness and health, wealth and hardship, and to honor each other as husband and wife. After exchanging beautiful rings, the officiant invites them to seal their vows with a kiss. Carolina quietly reflects that her very first kiss tastes like happiness, bringing an emotional close to the ceremony and marking the official beginning of their married life.
Now recognized as Princess Carolina, she is escorted to her new residence within the Emerald Palace. The sheer luxury of her new home leaves her speechless, and she cannot help wondering how much the extravagant furniture must have cost. Marisa jokingly estimates that it could probably purchase an entire small country, making Carolina even more overwhelmed by the scale of imperial life.
The celebrations barely have time to settle before Edward arrives with unexpected news. He explains that, because of public expectations and his mother's insistence, they will leave for their honeymoon in only three days. Carolina is stunned by how quickly everything has been arranged, but Edward reveals that their destination will be Count Kissinger's estate, where they will spend an entire week. The cool climate makes it an ideal retreat, and they will travel there using Teodore's advanced teleportation magic. Even though the schedule catches Carolina completely off guard, she immediately begins preparing for the journey while Edward hurries off to handle his own responsibilities.
As Carolina begins making preparations, she discovers another surprising connection. Marisa quietly reveals that Count Kissinger, the owner of the estate chosen for the royal honeymoon, is actually her father. Carolina immediately apologizes for unintentionally creating extra work for her head maid by staying at her family home, but Marisa insists she has nothing to worry about. Wanting to express her gratitude anyway, Carolina asks what Marisa enjoys the most. After thinking for a moment, Marisa reveals that she loves reading books, especially Cinderella. When Carolina asks why, Marisa only comments that Cinderella's eyes always seem so sad before ending the conversation with a polite smile that hints she's hiding deeper feelings.
Three days later, Teodore successfully completes the teleportation spell, bringing everyone safely to Count Kissinger's magnificent estate. Carolina is immediately captivated by the breathtaking scenery surrounding the mansion, which is known for being one of the most beautiful residences in the northeastern region. Edward happily points out that the morning views are especially famous before leading everyone inside. Count Kissinger warmly welcomes the newly married couple, thanking them for choosing his estate despite the short notice. While Carolina notices the count's gentle personality, she also observes something else. Marisa seems unusually quiet and distant after arriving home, making Carolina wonder why someone would appear so unhappy while visiting her own family.
Edward's duties soon interrupt the honeymoon as he leaves for an important meeting with Teodore. Although he apologizes for leaving Carolina alone, she reassures him that everything is fine and decides to spend the time walking through the estate's gardens with a bodyguard assigned for her protection. During the walk, Carolina asks one of the attendants why Marisa has looked so troubled ever since they arrived. The attendant explains that Marisa has long struggled with her older sister, Lady Marielle, though the exact details remain unclear. Before he can continue, loud shouting erupts near the mansion and interrupts the conversation.
The disturbance turns out to be Lady Marielle herself. She forcefully demands to see both Marisa and Teodore, refusing to calm down despite repeated attempts to stop her. When Edward arrives, Marielle immediately changes her tone and explains that she hurried back after hearing the prince would be staying at the estate. However, her true interest quickly becomes obvious when she asks where Teodore is. Edward coldly refuses her request and orders her to return to her mother, making it clear that he has no intention of letting her anywhere near Teodore. Count Kissinger soon appears, apologizes for the disruption, and sends Marielle back to her room before promising to deal with the matter himself.
Still confused, Carolina asks Teodore what exactly happened. He explains that Marielle is Marisa's older sister and that she harbors one-sided resentment toward her. The revelation becomes even more surprising when Teodore calmly admits that Marielle was once his fiancée. Curious about how such an engagement happened in the first place, Carolina asks him to explain everything from the beginning.
Teodore reveals that the engagement had nothing to do with romance. His goal was to secure a steady supply of resources for the Pyreborn, since some nobles refused to trade with knight orders that accepted commoners. Count Kissinger agreed to provide those resources at a greatly reduced price, but only if one of his daughters married Teodore. Accepting those conditions seemed like the best solution for supporting his organization, so the engagement was arranged.
Everything eventually fell apart because of Marielle's overwhelming obsession with Teodore. Edward recalls that she repeatedly appeared at his home until her behavior began interfering with everyone's work. Unable to tolerate the constant disruptions any longer, Teodore broke off the engagement and instead proposed marrying Marisa. While the decision solved one problem, it also created another. Marielle's resentment toward Marisa became even stronger, making their already difficult relationship far worse.
Marisa then quietly shares the painful memories she has kept hidden for years. She explains that both of her older sisters hated her appearance and treated her cruelly. After the engagement changed, Marielle accused her of stealing her fiancé and openly attacked her. Wanting to escape that hostile environment, Marisa begged her parents to let her leave home and eventually chose to become a maid instead. Although she claims she has no regrets about that decision, Carolina immediately recognizes that Marisa is hiding the emotional scars left behind by her own family. Having experienced painful treatment herself, Carolina understands those feelings better than anyone and silently wishes she could ease Marisa's suffering.
Just as the conversation comes to an emotional close, urgent news arrives. Monsters have reportedly been sighted in the western forest, prompting Edward and Teodore to investigate immediately while Carolina is escorted to safety by the Pyreborn knights. However, before they can get very far, an unexpected figure steps directly into their path. Lady Marielle has deliberately created the false emergency to separate Teodore from the others. Standing before everyone, she once again demands that Marisa abandon her engagement and falsely accuses her of stealing Teodore away. As Marielle continues insulting her younger sister, Carolina notices that the usually calm Marisa is trembling under the weight of years of abuse, making it impossible for her to stay silent any longer.
Carolina steps forward and orders Owen to stand down, deciding to handle the situation herself. Looking directly at Lady Marielle, she questions whether someone who spreads false reports, creates unnecessary trouble for Prince Edward and Teodore, and repeatedly causes problems for Count Kissinger is really in any position to judge Marisa. Her calm but unwavering words leave Marielle speechless. Carolina then declares that Marisa is her precious maid and that she understands her sincerity better than anyone. Refusing to tolerate any more insults toward someone who has always supported her, Carolina firmly orders Marielle to leave at once.
Instead of backing down, Marielle's anger only grows. She insults Carolina personally, dismissing her as someone from a minor nation who is nothing more than an ornamental wife for Prince Edward. Before she can continue, Marisa finally reaches her limit. Usually calm and composed, she raises her voice and demands that her sister stop disrespecting the crown princess. Watching Marisa openly defend her is enough to show Carolina just how much courage this moment requires after years of enduring her sister's cruelty.
The confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of Edward and Teodore, who immediately grasp the seriousness of the situation. Edward sternly asks Marielle what she just said to Carolina before making his position unmistakably clear. He states that people are free to criticize him if they wish, but he will never tolerate anyone insulting Carolina. He further warns that Marielle's words could even be considered an insult toward the imperial family itself, making the consequences of her reckless behavior far more serious than she realizes.
Teodore then delivers his own response. He admits that he once felt indebted to Marielle for agreeing to their engagement for the sake of supporting the Pyreborn despite his constant devotion to work. Even so, after witnessing her conduct, he has no regrets about ending that engagement. He bluntly states that the thought of someone with such poor manners becoming his wife makes him feel sick before ordering that she never appear before them again. With those final words, Marielle is escorted away, bringing the long-running confrontation to an end.
Later, Marisa sincerely apologizes to Carolina for everything her older sister said and did. Carolina immediately refuses to let her take responsibility for another person's actions. Instead, she thanks Marisa for speaking up during the confrontation, admitting she admired the courage it took to confront her own sister. Marisa is left surprised, unable to understand why the crown princess would defend someone she considers nothing more than a maid.
Carolina gently explains that she understands the pain of having no one willing to stand beside you. Because she knows what that loneliness feels like, she wanted to become the person who could support Marisa, even if only a little. Those heartfelt words finally allow Marisa to open up completely. She recalls mentioning her love of Cinderella earlier and explains that she admired the story because the heroine endured endless mistreatment before finally being rescued. Marisa always wished her own life would end the same way, but she believed no one would ever save her from the suffering caused by her family. Now, after Carolina stood up for her without hesitation, she feels as though someone has finally rescued her from those painful memories. Overcome with emotion, Marisa is unable to hide her gratitude any longer.
The episode ends with the narrator revealing that Count Kissinger later decides to send Lady Marielle to a convent in hopes of preventing even harsher consequences for insulting the imperial family and obstructing the Pyreborn. The story then briefly shifts to Celestia, where Lady Flora struggles to purify muddy water as her magical power continues to decline. She realizes that her weakening abilities began around the same time Carolina left and notes that numerous calamities have also been occurring throughout the kingdom. Although she hesitates to accept the conclusion, Flora begins connecting those events to Carolina. Back in the Malcosian Empire, Carolina is informed that she must undergo the empire's magical aptitude examination the following day, leaving her surprised by yet another unexpected challenge awaiting her.
The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power Episode 4 balances heartfelt romance with emotional family drama, making it one of the strongest character-focused episodes so far. Carolina and Edward's wedding provides several warm moments, while Marisa's backstory adds genuine emotional weight without slowing the pacing. Carolina's decision to stand up for Marisa becomes the emotional peak of the episode, showing how much she has grown in confidence. The final tease involving Flora's declining magical power and Carolina's upcoming aptitude test also gives the story a strong reason to keep watching after an episode filled with touching character moments.
