He Kneels At My Grave Regretting Everything

Goddess Etherea spends a millennium hiding the fact that she rescued Dorian, the supreme celestial warlord, from demonic slaughter. A scheming court rival named Velta claims the heroic credit instead, manipulating Dorian into treating Etherea with freezing disdain throughout their centuries of arranged marriage. Despite endless humiliation and cruelty from her aloof husband, Etherea bears her silent agony with regal dignity.

When primeval underworld demons breach the divine ramparts, Etherea steps forward to perform the ultimate sealing ritual, burning her immortal core to protect the heavens. Refusing to forgive Dorian as her life essence dissolves into stardust, she leaves behind undeniable proof of Velta's deceit. Dorian awakens to the truth far too late, executing the impostor before collapsing onto Etherea's memorial shrine.
