Volume 3 Chapter 24※ Saintess’ Point of View (Rozalie)
“Ehhh! Amalda-sama, “you haven’t”, yet?”
It was early afternoon, in the cafeteria that was exclusive for the high-ranking saintesses.
Rozalie was genuinely laughing at the words that Amalda had just said.
“Lufure-sama and I do it every night! Even if he looks like a boy, he’s a proper adult…My body can’t keep up.”
“…Really, is that so? Is that how it is?”
“Of course! A Saintess is the wife of the deity, after all! They have to love each other deeply, after all!”
All the other Saintess surrounding them nodded in agreement.
Her usual low-ranking minion saintesses weren’t there, but their reactions were pretty similar to them.
A lower-ranking saintess couldn’t go against a higher-ranking.
Rozalie was the third rank saintess, so the only person who could say no to her was Amalda.
The said Amalda was only blushing furiously at Rozalie’s words, though.
I heard her relationship with the Supreme God was good, but it only amounted to such, huh — Rozalie snickered as she thought about it.
‘They are sticking like glue to each other, and yet he never once touched her. How pitiful, aren’t she ashamed of it?’
In this case, then maybe Amalda was just like that substitute — Lidianne — she was probably a fake saintess too, the same as her.
In the first place, the Supreme God Grand Verite had never chosen a saintess before, so that in itself was odd enough.
Well, it was true that Amalda was beautiful, and her magical power was strong — but she’s just a poor baron’s daughter, after all.
It was already ridiculous that she managed to snag the position of a saintess, even though she’s nothing more than an uncouth, rustic bumpkin.
For this woman to become the Supreme God’s saintess… She probably used underhanded means just so she could enter the Shrine.
‘I’m still the number one Saintess, in the end.’
Her ranking maybe third, but the first was just a country chick that the Supreme God wouldn’t even touch, while everyone knew the second one was just fake goods.
So, in reality, she was the most outstanding saintess of all.
“— Rozalie-chan?”
“What is it, Amalda-sama?”
Rozalie inwardly held Amalda in contempt, but she didn’t show a single trace of it on her face. She gently smiled at Amalda when the latter called out to her. She elegantly sipped the black tea, and she didn’t forget to humor her.
“Oh, by the way, Amalda-sama, did you know? There’s a rumor floating around in the slums recently.”
“Rumor in the s lums?”
‘What’s with that lisp. You sound like a pheasant.’
Amalda tilted her head in doubt while Rozalie inwardly scorned her.
‘She’s dumb and air-headed — hey, maybe only flowers grow inside that head of hers.’
“They say that there’s a gorgeous, pure, gentle and kind Saintess currently in the Shrine. They must be referring to you, Amalda-sama. Even the poor orphans also talked about it. As expected of Amalda-sama, you’re so great.”
“Ehh…me? You’re making me blush. I didn’t do anything.”
“Oh my, being humble, are we? If it’s Amalda-sama, your presence is already plenty enough to lift the hearts of the common people even if you don’t do anything. You’re the Supreme God’s Saintess, after all.”
“Rozalie-chan…”
Amalda pressed her cheeks with both hands as she looked down, unable to hide her happiness.
She then gently shook her head and lifted her head — that appearance almost blew Rozalie away.
“Yes, I will do my best! As the number one Saintess serving Grand Verite-sama, as the representative of the Shrine, I would do my best to make everyone smile in happiness!”
‘The number one Saint! The representative of the Shrine! How shameless, coming from a baron’s bumpkin daughter like you!’
That firm gaze on her dumb face — what, did she think she was some kind of a leading lady in a play?
Well, the only people who would smile anyway were the foolish, dumb poor people.
Wise aristocrats like Rozalie would only snicker at her.
She was trying to play the role of a tragic heroine, not realizing that she was just a clown — Rozalie thought that she was really ridiculous.
‘But then, she’s easier to handle because she’s like this.’
She was stupid and easily swayed when perfunctorily fawned at.
It was irritating that her rank was higher than Rozalie’s, but — it was easier compared to when Lidianne had been number one.
Because this girl was here, Rozalie was assured that “there won’t be any other girl that will be above me”.
‘Alright, let me use you to the fullest.’
Rozalie changed her inward scorn to an amicable smile outwardly as she clapped her hands in admiration.
"

“You truly are the best, Amalda-sama. I’m deeply moved. I also want to become a magnificent Saintess like you, and change this Shrine for the better.”
She said those words with a laudable attitude. “But—”, she then continued on.
She contorted her expression to be as sorrowful as she could in order to invoke Amalda’s sense of justice as much as possible.
“But did you know, Amalda-sama? That substitute Saintess of Adoracion-sama — Lady Lidianne — she’s not worthy of being here in this holy Shrine, and she would arrogantly trample over all other people —”
