Sandra really struck gold here, on so many levels. Seraphina might become the queen, but I feel like Sandra will be happier. We have seen she struggled to convince her own family of her prospects in business, even though she loves doing it. If she had married Orva, he wouldn't have cared one bit about it. Gerald, on the other hand, genuinely respects her efforts and wants to hear all about it. Not to mention, the Makerainen family runs the mine supplying gemstones, so Sandra will be sitting on top of what she loves, ready to refine it and sell it to the market. I'm not sure if she actually loves Gerald back, but she knows he loves and respects her, and won't get in the way of her business. Sandra looks up to how Seraphina handles noble duties and responsibilities, so she could actually live without love, but since she's more emotional than Seraphina, having a husband who loves her will still make her happier.
This whole story is only possible after a whole bunch of typical villainess stories preceded it. Because the idea here seem to be to present a more realistic outcome, instead of what is seen in the stereotypical series. This is not parody, but in that respect this had the same requirements that parodies have. I reckon a few more of these could succeed, but too many of these would wear the idea down too much. There's only so many ways you can have things go if realism and rational behavior is observed. The typical villainess story progress can sustain much more because they aren't limited by trying to depict realistic behavior. Thus they can have all manner of quirky or twisted character, plenty of fantasy action, everything between the heaven and earth in general.

Thank you for your hard work!
Minor correction: on page 25, Gerald says that the view is "…the same colour as Lady Sandra's radiant pupils."
The pupil is the black centre of the eye; the coloured part is called the iris, however, in Western languages (including English) outside of Medicine, we don't specify which part of the eye (it's a synecdoche).
Accordingly, it ought to be: "…the same colour as Lady Sandra's radiant eyes."
Side note: the name being translated as "Olva" is most likely supposed to be "Orvar" (a Swedish name) or "Olvar" (a variant of "Orville").

Because nobles never touch each other unless the higher ranking one makes the invitation to do so. If the higher ranking noble does offer a hand, then it is a sign that they trust the lower ranking noble and show quite plainly that they wish for continued relations.
The Apprentice Saint doing so out of turn like this is a grave violation of protocol. If she had been paying more attention to her lessons, she should have known to wait for Sandra to offer her hand first. Not to mention that she should have known that it was doubly uncouth to do so when she's been spending more time with Sandra's fiancé than Sandra has been herself.
(Which just goes to show you how screwed up her thought processes were with her platitudes of romance - she should have realized that time spent with Olva was time he wasn't spending with Sandra.)
