She has raven hair that would capture your gaze, and red eyes that seemed to burn with the fire of determination.
She was an immensely gorgeous woman, but she also had an immensely harsh expression.
Her name was widely known even outside the Shrine.
The young lady of the Ducal House â Lidianne Blanchette.
She possessed royal blood, and she was the eldest daughter of the very powerful House of Blanchette. She was also the former fiancee of the Second Prince.
She currently held the position of saintess to the worldâs second to the greatest deity.
What an amazing personal record.
Not only appearance and status, but also sagacity, and magic â she was a talented woman, blessed with all of these.
Her personality was extreme, though, because she was stern. If everything didnât fall according to her plans, she would never forgive anyone who caused that regardless of who they may be â well that was the rumor surrounding her, and it was passed on as truth, so all the noble ladies of this world held both admiration and fear towards her.
âNo wonder.â
Those girls had called her âthe fake saintessâ.
They didnât know any fear, one may think, butâŚit might be natural that they would think of such a thing, given that she was the saintess of the Adoracion-sama.
Well, for Adoracion-sama, there was only one genuine saintess.
The girl he fell in love with during the founding of the nations â they were pointing out that she was only the reincarnation of that person.
Adoracion-sama was very special for this country, because he was the Founder God.
During the founding of this nation, he had gone against the deities for the sake of the people, and finally, he also threw his divine power aside in order to live as a human beside his beloved woman.
He had returned to his former divine glory when he died, and he continued guiding the people â and it was said that if the nation was in imminent danger, then he would throw his restriction-laden divinity aside to be born again as a human, so that he would be able to fight alongside the people.
The girl would also be reborn during that time in order to support Adoracion-sama who had become a human, according to the legend.
Thatâs why⌠as long as Adoracion-sama was here in the Shrine, then his âGenuine Saintessâ would never appear.
Even if this saintess was chosen by Adoracion-sama himself, it was just as a substitute to that girl.
She was just a proxy saintess â or as the other girls said, âFake Saintessâ.
âStill, thereâs no mistake that Adoracion-sama chose her.â
Even if that wasnât the case, she was still the young lady of the ducal house, and the royal blood ran in her veins.
She was not someone they could just defy as they pleased â those were my thoughts as I turned to look at her. I was surprised to see that she was also glaring at me.
Her almond-shaped eyes were focused on me, and they were slightly bent.
She was an incredible beauty, and her stern expression was so striking that I couldnât help but stiffen.
âYou, arenât you stupid.â
She was still glaring at me as she spoke in that high, condescending tone that matched her bearing.
âGoing against magic using brute strength, thatâs foolishness thatâs way beyond recklessness. You could have hide away and stayed put obediently. I can protect myself, at the very least.â
ââŚâŚâŚ..Ha.â
âHuh, Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!? Whatâs with this girl!â
âYouâre the one being helped here, so whatâs with your tone!?â
I unwittingly blurted out my complaints out of habit, and she looked really displeased as she scowled.
She snorted â she was the epitome of haughtiness.
âI never said âI need helpâ. In the first place, itâs already troubling that youâre going against them using that shabby tray of yours. What would you do if you were hurt!?â
âHey you, saying stuff like hurt, no wa â hm?â
Hm?
âItâs a relief that they only used kitchen scraps! You wouldnât be able to block them if they threw chairs or stones! Donât go recklessly getting yourself into trouble! Think about how sad your Deity would be if something happened to you!!!â
Arrogant, domineering, and haughty â all of those adjectives perfectly painted her current picture as she continued staring daggers at me while saying those words.
âââââ-
