The first time in a while that we've gotten a child, MC, who is completely a child, you can't expect her to make mature decisions like wanting to take revenge or making a good decision around going with the priest or going with the nobles. She has just gone through a big change in life. The only home that she has ever known is gone. The people who raised her and that she's ever loved are gone. She's now a saint. All of a sudden, she has to pick and choose who she wants to live with. Of course, she's confused and scared, and that's probably all she's going to be for a while. That's most likely why she got close to that maid because she reminded her of something familiar, which is her mother. For those who already hate it, please know nobody does well under pressure, especially not a child, and especially with the added fear and confusion.
