Synopsis: I'm not a Villainess!! Just Because I Can Control Darkness, Doesn't Mean I'm a Villain

The novel The Saint Beloved by the Prince takes place in Lacia, a land ruled by elemental spirits that answer to the "Spirit Kings." These powerful beings can grant select humans command over their respective element, though this opportunity is rare. The story features two characters: Amelia Logan, who is blessed by the Light Spirit King and Claudia Leitzya, who is bestowed with the Dark Spirit King's blessing. Claudia, who has dark skin, hair, and proficiency in dark magic, is shunned by society, while Amelia is revered. After her death in contemporary Japan, Sakura is reincarnated as Claudia. While she struggles to adapt to her new situation, she is accompanied by the Dark Spirit King, Gerald. Unjustly judged by others based on her appearance, she seeks to prove her worth and overcome her role as the novel's villain. She is strong-willed in her efforts to free herself from the chains of evil.
