I Favor the Villainess

"Well, then, Mr. Lambert, you need to move the agenda forward."

"Yes, now look at your materials"

At several meetings since joining the Knights of the College, it was on the agenda.

"Recently, there seems to be a spread between aristocrats and civilians in the College."

That's how Lambert cut it out.

"Amongst other things, it seems that some scholars are campaigning for full equality between nobility and the civilian population is reversing the nerves of aristocratic college students. Several complaints have also been lodged with the Knights of the College"

"I saw it, too. How lamentable."

Master Claire spat out in a sigh.

Is that a bunch of them?

"Can't you control it?

"Freedom of thought is guaranteed within the College, regardless of whether it is outside the College. We can't ban political movements either."

"It's a blind eye."

Abominable, Lady Claire looks like she chewed up a bitter bug.

"So? How many people agree with that movement?

Master Rod asked somewhat intrigued.

"So far, even the table doesn't seem to agree with many people. Less than twenty, including the potential ones."

"If that's what you want, why don't you just let him go free?

Master Yu relaxed and said so.

"That's what I thought, but some radical athletes seem to be having skirmishes with nobles all over the college"

"... a skirmish?

Master Sein frowned.

"Yes, he seems to be hanging out with the nobility over such details as giving way, not giving way, or taking seats in the dining room."

"You're in a little trouble."

That's what Misha said in a sigh.

Guys, I don't know what the athletes meant.

It's almost noble to be here, except me, or pretty wealthy people to say civilians.

How civilian athletes feel to them, you wouldn't know that.

Values are too different.

"I think it's a simple thing. You want to be on par with nobility."

"On par with the nobility? That's impossible."

Lady Claire laughed with her nose at my remarks.

"Apart from being born and raised, nobility and the civilian population are fundamentally different in the form and history of their homes."

I don't want Lady Claire to say anything like this.

Let me explain here what this country is made of.

The nobility of this Bauer kingdom is based on the luxury of the area that has existed since before the founding of the kingdom.

Naturally generated by differences in surplus produce associated with agricultural development, it was gradually gaining strength everywhere with the use of force.

In that, the Bauer family, which later becomes royal, rises and gradually takes in the luxuries of all over the place.

In the process came down to the Bauer family, the powerful luxuries of the later kingdom.

"Besides, what did civilians contribute to this country?"

The royal nobility has various obligations in exchange for being guaranteed the right to collect taxes from the state.

The stable governance of the territory, the promotion of local industry, and the training and dispatching of soldiers come to that.

Ladies and gentlemen Claire, let us say from the nobles that they seem to think that they have a right to politics because they are themselves making various contributions to the country, and that the civilian population in general is not even eligible to participate in it.

"... that's not true, Claire. Paying taxes is a fine contribution to a country. If the people don't pay their taxes, this country won't stand."

It is Lady Sein who rarely said the long line.

I'm just studying imperialism, and the sights around it are wider than the aristocracy.

Though...

"So you think Master Sayne agrees with their claims?

"... I won't say that much. As a matter of reality, there is too much separation between aristocracy and the civilian population by duties, intellectual standards and other things. I don't think civilian political participation is realistic."

"Right."

This is also the extent of the current royal perception that marks capability doctrine.

It seems to me that only a fairytale or so sense of reality leads to a completely ordinary electoral system in Japan in the twenty-first century, where people can participate in politics without distinction as to gender or wealth if they reach a certain age.

"Then isn't the story simple? You're right, you just have to let it go"

This will be the end of the story, Master Rod said.

But...

"But there's one problem"

"Am I?"

"There are rumors that the Church is supporting their movement"

"The church?

Dear Rods, the complexion of the three princes changes.

"The Church has long said that all men are equal before God. It meets their athletes' claims."

A church is a spiritual religion widely believed in the King's people.

I touched on it a little when I first met Lelea, but there is a religion in this world that believes in the Spirit.

It is a religion that worships the Spirit of the Groundwater Fire Wind and his biological parent, the Spirit God, and considers all events to be its grace or test.

According to Spiritualism, the magic that has developed in recent years is due to the power of the Spirit.

The original Spiritualism is a simple natural faith that was among the peasants.

Fear and reverence of nature that sometimes causes catastrophe. It only grew into one great religion at a time.

The Church also conducts activities such as teaching academics to civilians and curing illnesses and injuries.

For this reason, the Church is so influential to the people that even royalty cannot ignore it.

"... what is the church side saying?

Master Sein asked.

"Nothing so far. The Church has not broken its previous stance of not speaking out for politics."

"I hear there's not much you can do at the moment."

What Misha said was the sentiment of every human being on this occasion.

"As a Knights of the College, we cannot leave complaints from aristocratic college students intact. For once, if you see a skirmish, go into arbitration. Be careful not to unilaterally blame the civilian side"

Captain Laurek did so.

"Here's the next agenda -"

We have since discussed two or three agendas, and today's meeting is open.

"Dear Claire, by the way. Summer vacations, after all, to the forest areas of the north?

"That you don't switch your head too quickly?

At the memorial festival, the male and female reversed coffee cavaliers won first place in a brilliant popular poll and obtained a travel ticket to the summer resort.

But the François originally have villas all over the kingdom.

I don't know where Lady Claire would choose to be in the summer shelter, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm very excited about it now.

"'Cause I'm tired of all the hard talk. Please heal."

"It's you... What do you want from me, my husband? Rather thou shalt comfort me."

"Is that okay!?

"If you look into those eyes, you know you're thinking something nasty!?

Master Claire is pulling a dong.

"Oh no, what did you imagine if you were Master Claire? It's nasty."

"So what did you try to do?

"Do you want me to say that?"

"Isn't that what you imagined!?

Relieve Claire of her stiffened head with a difficult story about politics and religion.

Yeah, it works.

"Really already, you... Oh? Where's Lene?

"If Lene wants to talk to Lambert about something. Look, over there."

When Master Claire asked me, I pointed to the one in front of the conference room.

Lene is talking to Lambert with some serious expression.

"If all civilians are as discreet and diligent as Lene, they are at peace."

"Dear Claire, am I?

"When all the civilians are like you, I'll think about fleeing the country."

"Is it an escape of love? Nice."

"I won't take you!?

And, with the usual couple comics (one-way), Lene came back.

"Welcome home, Lene. What were you talking about?

"Yeah, it's not a big deal. Just..."

"Just?"

"I may have seen it."

"What?

Laine spoke there once, but Lady Claire urged her to speak ahead.

"A civilian campaigner is meeting with Master Yu."
