Amalda trembled, but fire seemed to burn in her eyes as she looked up at Lidianne-sama. The priests stood behind her.
Lidianne-sama, on the other hand, looked mightily displeased as she coldly stared down at Amalda.
It seemed like justice was here to fight it out against evil, at least from a bystanderâs point of view.
This scene was extremely familiar, so I couldnât help but clutch my head.
âUgh⌠I donât want to be involvedâŚ..â
The things I wanted to tell her about Eric was already plenty as it was, but I didnât want to see her face as of now.
Besides, Amalda was the Supreme Godâs Saintess-sama.
There was no way I could call out to her easily, and it also seemed like Amalda already forgot everything about me, since we never met, not even once. Even though she went out of her way to visit Eric.
Thatâs why I had relaxed my guard.
âYou probably didnât imagine that the Saitness of the Deity with the lowest status is the best of friends with the Saintess of the Supreme God! You failed in trying to harm my precious Noa-chan!â
ââŚSheâs not bullying me, though.â
It was like we were in a conviction trial.
I couldnât stand it anymore, so I blurted that out.
Besides, she didnât bully me, that was the truth.
âYou just misunderstood. Lidianne-sama never wanted to harm me ââ
âTo address her as âsamaâ! Noa-chan, all the Saintesses are equal! Even if youâre the Saintess of the lowest deity, thereâs no need for you to be servile to Liadianne-san!â
âHuh?â
Lidianne-sama also said the same thing, but I dunno why, it made me reaaaalllly irritated just by listening to her tirade.
Amalda looked hurt when she saw me purse my lips, and she shook her head.
âBesides, thereâs no need for Noa-chan to defend Lidianne-san. I heard it properly. Lidianne-san had said Noa-chan is âan eyesoreâ, loud and clearâŚ.Just because Noa-chan isnât a true SaintessâŚThatâs really terrible.â
âHaaah?â
âBesides, itâs just like Rozalie-chan said! You even overturned Noa-chanâs meal! Youâre overdoing it! Lidianne-san. As the Saintess of the Supreme God, I cannot let this pass. You will regret looking down on Noa-chan for being the lowest ranked Saintess!â
âHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!????â
âAmalda! Stop spouting nonsense! She didnât do anything to me!â
That âRozalieâ that she kept on name-dropping â Lufure-samaâs saintess must have probably whispered all that stuff in her ear.
Equal, equal, she said, and yet she was emphasizing the ranking of deities.
That Rosalie girlâs probable ulterior motive was to ally with Amalda, the Supreme Godâs Saintess, so she could put the blame on Lidianne-sama.
âWHAT A JOKE, So annoying!!!!!â
âThat âRozalie-chanâ you kept on saying is the one at fault here! Youâre being deceived!â
âAhh⌠Itâs just as Rozalie-chan said! Noa-chan was really being bullied, and youâre being forced to listen to everything sheâs sayingâŚ! Youâre even lying!â
Amalda didnât listen to a word I said as she shook her head.
Tears of compassion started to well in the corner of her eyes.
She gently wiped those tears with her fingertip.
Then, she turned her gaze again at me, looking all gallant and gentle.
âDonât worry, I am here. I will save youâŚ!â
"
"
Ahh. Pointless.
I peeked at the priests behind her â everyone was still staring condemningly at Lidianne-sama, nothing changed.
As for the Lidianne-sama in question â
âI donât have any recollection of bullying someone.â
She glowered at Amanda.
âI donât care a thing about the friendship between the lowest and the highest Saintess and whatnot. Go ahead and be chummy all you want. But, arenât you mistaken about something? I never did anything that would warrant such an accusation that Iâm bullying the people below me.â
Her freezing voice resounded around us.
She carried herself with overwhelming dignity that matched her breathtaking beauty well.
âWhaâŚâ
Amalda sucked her breath in, seemingly overwhelmed for a moment.
However, she mustered all her courage and retorted.
âWhat do you meanâŚare you acting innocent!? I heard it with my own ears! You said Noa-chan is an eyesore!!â
Lidianne-sama just snorted and smirked at Amaldaâs words.
It was the super typical villainess move that even the dramas didnât use.
âAn eyesore is an eyesore, whatâs wrong with saying that?â
Ah, this girl is also impossible, huh.
The priests were increasingly becoming restless and grim.
âIf saying the truth is already considered bullying, then fine. I donât plan saying excuses for myself. If you got a problem then ââ
âââArgh!â
I unconsciously shouted in an attempt to interrupt Lidianne-samaâs vehement arguments.
I didnât know what she wanted to say, but I realized that the situation shouldnât become any worse than this.
The priests also realized the same thing, it seemed.
Their eyes were shining, as if they were itching to grab Lidianne-sama.
Thatâs why ââ
âStop spouting all that nonsense, idiot ââââ!!!â
I shrieked as I grabbed Lidianne-samaâs arm.
Thereâs no way we could settle this verbally, anyway.
In reality, they would use Lidianne-samaâs words against her so that she would crush herself!!
âIn that case!!!â
âWeâre running away for once!! Come!!â
Art of war, retreat to attack.
If I didnât make her calm herself, they would never see eye to eye â So, I forcefully pulled Lidianne-samaâs arm .
âWait! Running away, I donât âââ
She screamed a lot of things, but I didnât listen, of course.
No choice, I could already see the worsening outcome.
Amalda and Lidianne-sama. These two were like oil and water â totally incompatible!!
âââââââââââ-
T/N: Ghorl, why are you so intent on emphasizing Eleanor as the lowest ranked Saintess? Insecure much, since itâs supposed to be you? And go, Lidianne! Continue face-slapping her!
