She was born in a destitute baron’s household. However, she was helped by the kind people of the count’s family, and she gained a lot of allies.
She was truly grateful for the love they showered on her.
Her parents, Count Kuradeel and his eldest son, and her Eleanor, her best friend –
‘Sometimes, I’m also being resented even though I’m not doing anything wrong, though.’
Everytime she recalled Marion, Eleanor’s older sister, she couldn’t help but feel sad.
She thought she was also her best friend, just like Eleanor, but without rhyme or reason, she left while hating Amalda.
‘No, it was not without reason.’
She blamed Amalda for her broken engagement and harbored unjustified resentment against her.
But Amalda just consulted her fiance.
Afterward, the same thing happened with her lover – the Duke.
Marion misunderstood and selfishly declared that ‘she was trying to snatch the Duke, too, but Amalda did not have the slightest intention to do that.
‘What a pitiful person. She didn’t have confidence in herself.’
Amalda felt merciful towards her, and she slightly shoo k her head .
‘She couldn’t do anything but resent other people, what a miserable person. I’m sure she would live full of grudges against somebody else. What a desolate life.’
However, Amalda would also wish for the happiness of such a person.
She was appalled that the daughter of the count married the duke – but that was all in the past.
It would be great if she was satisfied being with someone like the duke, and hopefully she would also grasp her own happiness.
Amalda honestly thought that way from the bottom of her heart.
‘It’s good if everybody obtains happiness. Marion-chan, too; Eleanor-chan, too.’
Amalda raised her head, driving that insignificant memory into the corner of her mind.
She was inside the most majestic room in the Shrine, and it was the epitome of luxury.
It was the room where the Supreme God, Grand Verite-sama, lived. Amalda squinted her eyes as she gazed at the existence in front of her.
His golden hair shone like the sun.
Those dazzling, mesmerizing eyes were of the same hue.
His features were mild for a man, but too sharp to be feminine.
One couldn’t help but be enthralled while gazing at his appearance that seemed to have the best of both genders.
Even a statue wouldn’t be able to capture his beauty. Amalda unintentionally let out a sigh.
‘I’ll be happy, too.’
She gently reached out her hand to touch his arm, and he readily received it.
He did not reject her when she leaned her body towards him.
This meant that he acknowledged that she was his saintess.
If other people did the same thing, she was sure that they would receive his divine punishment.
Amalda was satisfied in this taciturn, expressionless supreme deity.
He seemed to be a transcendental deity, unperturbed by anything else.
Amalda was in a state of euphoria for being chosen by this supreme deity.
Amalda Riche did not have an inkling, nor did she want to know what the priests did so that she would be chosen by the supreme deity.
Anyway, it’s their job to read the oracles, not hers, so it had nothing to do with Amalda.
Even if the reason behind it was because she cried in shock after learning that she had been chosen by the incompetent god.
Even if those priests frantically fabricated a new oracle because they cared for Amalda.
Amalda only ‘cried because I was surprised’.
Afterward, ‘the priests decided all of those things on their own’.
Amalda didn’t do anything.
She didn’t have any memory of doing any kind of bad thing, and she was always thinking about the well-being of others.
She did not have a single ounce of malice within her.
“…Grand Verite-sama”
She did not notice the black dirt on the fingertip of the supreme deity as they held hands.
It was similar to the dirt wrapping that incompetent god.

T/L Thoughts: Wow, seriously, Amalda has a severe case of ‘airheaded-ness’ and self-centeredness typical of a supreme white lotus.
