I Favor the Villainess

35. Political Question

Yours, the third prince, is not the same as Rod or Sain's mother.

Lady Rod and Lady Sein's mother were princesses of neighboring Appalachia, but died some time after giving birth to Lady Sein.

This neighborhood is also a factor in accelerating Mr. Sein's annoyance, but I won't go into detail now.

The current queen and mother of Yours, Lady Liesche, was originally a Cardinal of the Spirit Church.

Unlike Catholicism on Earth, women can also hold high positions in the Spirit Church.

Rather, women may even have stronger powers than men as spiritual and mystical forces reside strongly.

Now, the current pope is a woman, but this is not the main point of the story now, so I will make a discount.

What matters now is that the blood of the Church forces is flowing to Master Yu.

Originally, the king married Lady Lieche with the aim of absorbing the power of the Church, which was increasing in strength.

But it also means that at the same time the Church forces approach the Royal Family, with the result that the Church has grown and gained strength before.

Master Yu is also to be called the crystal of authority of such ecclesiastical forces.

"I don't think you would do such a mild imitation."

This was Master Claire's first voice when she heard about Lene.

At first glance, Master Yu looks like an unknown prince, but the fruit of it is an outrageous raccoon.

So you know your delicate position, and you know you can't make light contact with civilian campaigners.

But...

"No, we met."

"!? Dear Yu!?

All of a sudden, it was like no other you who interrupted the story.

"Anything, they want to use the help of the Church. I said no."

With Nico and a constant smile, Master Yu said so.

"That was careless of you. As for the civilian side, it would have been worth it if you had just listened to me."

"Really? I said no in the end, and I don't think it's gonna be that far. I mean, as a church, the gates are open to everyone, so I didn't have a choice not to meet them from the beginning."

To Master Claire's objection, Master Yu returned it softly.

"Aren't you royal and not churchy?

I tried to bump into what I thought.

"Well, you're right up front. But it's quite a fact that my mother was a former Cardinal and head of the Church."

Dear Yu, assuming there was only no problem.

Master Claire has a face that won't fall.

"But as Pre-Construction, could we have avoided seeing you for that reason?

"Right. But in the first place, I'm not so repellent to the civilian movement."

It is just a surprise statement.

"Are you insane?

"Hey, is the idea of equality so bad?

Dear Yu returning your questions to Dear Claire with questions.

"Before the problem of good and evil, I think it's unrealistic. Who will run the country when nobles are gone?

"Of course it's civilians."

"I don't think a highly educated nobleman can do politics to a civilian who can't even read or write."

"On the contrary, doesn't that mean there's no problem if we educate the civilian population as well?

"It's..."

Master Claire clogging words.

The way you think is somewhat closer to democracy on Earth.

"I believe that aristocracy is doomed to disappear."

"!? Oh, my God!

"Why don't you throw away your preconceptions and think calmly? The numbers in the first place are overwhelmingly different from those of nobles and civilians. Do you think the nobles would stop the civilians if they were really armed?

There's an army here.

As for Master Claire, I guess I will never be able to admit anything like the collapse of the aristocracy.

Seems a little emotional towards you only calmly.

"The army is certainly strong. But now there's magic. There are going to be a lot of individuals out there who are comparable in power to military personnel, even civilians, right? When that happens, it's still the last thing you say."

"But......!

"In the first place, nobility is brought to life by taxes from its inhabitants. Is there any logic that can still justify domination when a people refuse to rule?

……

Master Claire has shut up.

I am visibly upset by the legitimacy of the aristocratic system I have believed to breathe.

"Dear Claire,"

"... what is it?"

"I'm hungry to hear all the hard stories"

Master Claire stumbled.

"You also...... Read the air, air."

"Haha, you did tell a difficult story, not a pattern. Claire, are you sorry?

"... no"

"Come on, let's go to the dining room. I'm a little late, so it might be crowded."

With the exact same mouth we were talking about political forms, saying what to do for lunch, etc., Master Yu left the conference room.

Someone who can't really eat.

"Hey, you"

When I tried to leave the conference room late to Master Yu, Master Claire accidentally called me.

"What is it, Master Claire?"

"What did you think of what you said earlier?

"It was difficult."

"Ununderstandably?

"I understand..."

What kind of blow would it be to ask me for my opinion?

"Do you also think that nobility will soon cease to stand?

"I don't know."

"... yes"

"I don't know, but even if Claire is no longer a nobleman, I will serve Claire."

With that said, Master Claire looked surprised.

"Why is that? If the aristocracy were gone and the world as the athletes say it would be realized, there would be no reason to serve me, would there?

"No. You've said that many times, haven't you? I serve Lady Claire because of love."

Master Claire glanced at him.

"I'm joking again."

"I'm not kidding. It's serious."

"Yes, sir. I asked you. I was a fool."

With that said, Master Claire took a step down the road to the dining room.

I'll follow later, too.

"Dear Claire. I'm serious, aren't I?

"Yes, sir. So, what are you having today?

"It's a beef bowl set meal."

"... again. You like that, don't you?

"Master Claire remembered my dietary preferences!

"What an emotion that is. If I could eat it in front of you so many times, I'd remember it."

Hmm, and Lady Claire snorts in a grumpy manner.

"How about Master Claire, a beef bowl set meal"

"Fine. Even unsatisfactory meals can make you taste extra bad."

"Well, I'll give you a bite"

"If you don't want to"

"Huh? Um, do you have to?

"I didn't say that!?

Looks like things are getting better.

"Dear Claire,"

"What is it?

"No matter how the world changes, I will always protect you from Claire."

"So I don't have to protect you."

That's it, Master Claire jammed words in my serious face.

"Always, no matter what"

"... what the hell, not at all"

Lady Claire is confused because of my rare serialization.

"Tomorrow, let's start with that."

I pointed to the entrance to the dining room.

It's so crowded.

……

"Come on, Master Claire, I'm coming!

I pulled my sly face, Master Claire.
