I kinda wonder if this is part of a grand plan. That she neede to live a second time to reset the balance. It sucks but maybe the goddess is doing this as well? Maybe this is the best way for the correct person to wield the goddesses power?
[just my theory]
I think what is happening was always meant to happen, but the ''saintess'' tried to stop this, by doing something with the ring. this time the MC found the original ring, so what the saintess was trying to stop probably was reset when she (MC) first wore it. so yeah her turning back was probably to get things back in their rightful place
SPOILER
NOT MY FAULT IF YOU READ THIS DESPITE MY WARNING
The saint now is really a saint but she's only temporary. She was placed as a temp. saint by the so called goddess because her daughter is to be the real saint. The mom became obsessed by the power of the saint though and so despite knowing she's only temp. she did everything for her to be the real saint. A demon helped ( can't remember if it's the real mastermind) her and brainwashed Ahun and made fake wings that will help the fake saint. The dragon and the goddess couldn't do a thing to help the prince and the real saint, Noel realized too late that the real saint was the daughter and the other wings didn't get their powers in time. And so the 1st timeline happened.
The dragon and the goddess were the ones that brought back time bec. That's the only way they could help. Something will happen to them if they did more, I thinkk. Can't remember
I understand her not being open about the physical abuse. But considering how much of an ass her father is she could open up about other thonga. Like legit put it all on her dad. Tell them that her dad really didn't have any intention on keeping his promise so he kept her in the dark about Riftans exploits They already k ow hes a peice of shit. It would follow that he'd try to keep his daughter from going to Anatol. And that he'd try to keep his daughter around to marry off again.
But I feel like this one is expected, *Opening Up* is not easy especially when you have trauma... maximilian fears the fact that if they were to see the fact that she is not the noble lady she thought she was They'd look down on her, Riftan might abuse her or throw her aside, The servants might mistreat her, They might do the same sh*t people from croix castle did to her...
