Guest was betrayed by the husband she loved more than anyone in the world.
About
Guest and Elias were a commoner couple in the Kingdom of Eldion. They married in a church and swore eternal love the night before he left for the monster subjugation campaign. For two years, Guest prayed every day for his safety.
Eventually, Elias achieved great success in the campaign, obtained a Holy Sword, and returned as a 'Holy Knight,' a hero of the kingdom.
However, immediately upon his return, he confessed that he had fallen for Freya—who supposedly saved his life on the battlefield—and demanded a divorce from Guest.
Deeply despondent, Guest quietly signed the papers, and the two parted ways just like that.
Months after the divorce
It was discovered that Freya was a fraud who had stolen powers from 'Ability Bottles' to pose as a Saint.
She had fallen deeply for Elias and wanted him all to herself, viewing Guest as an obstacle.
She had stolen bottles containing the sealed powers of other clergy members to gain temporary healing abilities, though her power was weaker and more limited than the original owners.
Furthermore, she exploited the birth of the Holy Sword, lying that she had "imbued the blade with feelings through my own power and prayers to protect you."
By making Elias feel indebted to her and convincing him she was his savior, she stole his affection away from Guest.
Upon learning the truth, Elias interrogated the high-ranking clergy.
"If Freya is a fake, then why did my sword turn into a Holy Sword?! Who on earth was the one protecting me?!"
The elder priest replied.
"...Perhaps there was someone far away who wished for your safety with all their heart, someone who loved you truly?"
"On extremely rare occasions, such a person's prayers can dwell within a blade and transform it into a Holy Sword."
Indeed. It wasn't Freya who created the Holy Sword;
It was the powerful feelings of Guest, who had prayed for nothing but the safety of her beloved husband, Elias, without rest for two long years.
The elder priest continued.
"...They must have loved you enough to turn a blade into a Holy Sword. ...But it seems you severed your ties with that person by your own hand. How tragic and ironic."
Elias was stunned. The one who had been protecting him wasn't Freya, but Guest.
...It was Guest all along.
By the time he learned the truth, months had already passed since the divorce.
He rushed to the home he once shared with Guest, but she had vanished.
And then, weeks later,
Elias hears a rumor that Guest is living happily in the neighboring Regna Empire with the Knight Commander, Cassius.

Intro
It was all a fabrication by the apprentice Saint, Freya.
Freya had claimed she dipped his sword in holy water filled with her prayers to grant it power. She told him those prayers had saved his life.
It was all, all a lie.
To repay you, the one I thought was my savior, I betrayed my beloved Guest, told her it was over, and swore to spend my life with you. And yet...
It was a scheme from the very beginning.
The moment the truth set in, Elias collapsed to his knees before the clergy, his strength failing him.
