Portrait of Queen Berta: I accidentally got pregnant with His Majesty’s child
[23] Child Development
While Johanna is working as a nanny, her husband and stepmother are mostly left to take care of the children.
While thanking my stepmother and feeling truly sorry for the children, all Johanna can do is to work in powder everyday at the Secret Service to pave the way for their future.
In fact, I want my children to call me "mother" or "mother".
But they call Johanna "Han-chan", who only sees her a few times a month at most.Because her husband calls her Hannah by her nickname.
Beginning that morning, Johanna had been playing with her brother's knight.
"Han-chan, you're so naughty."
"Come here! Come here. Play Himemasa."
Johanna has apparently been appointed princess of the bad guys.
"Congratulations! I'm on my way!"
"Hah, hah!"
Ugh!
Occasionally, Johanna is filled with brothers' play on the day she returns from her vacation.
Though I would like to engage with my children at all, it is always accompanied by the play of four-year-olds and three-year-olds, and I feel comfortable at the end of each vacation.
The two sons that Johanna married to this house and gave birth to.
Elnando, the eldest child, is four years old.
My youngest child is Juan, three years old.
Juan is only a few months different from Prince Louis.But Johanna, who keeps watching Prince Louis grow nearby, was surprised at the remarkable growth every time she met him.
"Juan speaks fast and his hands are incredibly clever.... I wonder if it's because I have Elnando right above me and his older brothers are turning me around. "
My mother-in-law tilted her neck as she poured white water on Johanna, who had been running around the garden since the morning.
"Oh, there are a lot of grown-ups around the prince, and it looks like they're growing fast."
"Out of the question, you might want to stay with an older child.The prince is not very active.... I am surprised by the speed with which Juan, who occasionally meets him, grows when he looks after the prince. "
Speaking of his own son, Johanna had the shoulders of Prince Louis, who always served him, and it was a matter of concern that the Prince's growth was slower than that of his generation.
"Well, for a three-year-old, the difference in months is huge.The feeling of putting you on the prince's shoulders as a worker is splendid, but I'm sure it'll settle down in a few more years. "
Her stepmother seemed to have remembered another matter of concern to her because of the prince's talk.
"Speaking of Prince Louis... I wonder if the prince's ritual of baptism is still ahead of us."
It was a problem that had recently become rapidly eliminated both inside and outside the royal palace.
Because in Prosperosanism, which most nobles in this country believed in (and still hold many beliefs), most of the children born are always baptized in church.
But, as my stepmother says, Prince Louis, now three, is still not baptized.
"We're talking about it on the inside, but... in view of the situation, it looks like it's going to be next year as soon as it's ready."
Prince Louis' baptism was delayed for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest causes was the problem associated with the new Australian National Church.
It has not been five years since the establishment of the Australian National Church in this country in the form of a "partition" from the mainstream proselytism practised by many countries of the continent.
The new National Church stepped out as its own sect with the King of Australia as its main ally, not under the authority of Pope Prospero.
- But the Australian National Church has one fundamental problem.
"... the contents of the doctrine are still there. It is not cut properly.Therefore, how to baptize the prince who has the right to succeed to the first throne is not something that can be agreed upon. "
After all, the Shinkoku Church is not a church divided from the mainstream of Prospero motivated by doctrinal beliefs.
Speaking of which, it is simply a sect divided by the political convergence of states.
His Majesty has always been unable to find the meaning of continuing to compare to the Pope, who looks down on Australia in view of the fact that the current King is a commoner.
When he arrived, the contemporary Emperor himself crossed thirty roads and entered the stage of a full-fledged focus on succession issues.
The Australian National Church argues very differently from the Prosperonists in that it only euphemisms substantial bigamy and extramarital inheritance rights.
... if it was done too much, another problem could arise, so it was confined to the extent of complementing the legitimacy of the current royal family, which was not a change of thought that would be called religious reform.
In short, although we have only prepared a "box" bearing the great name of the Australian National Church, the contents of the box are still largely empty.
"Next year, the prince won't be four years old, so will Juan."
Johanna still did not baptize Juan, her son, at the Old National Church ceremony.
She waited for a series of arguments to settle about Prince Louis' baptism.
As for the eldest son, Ernando, he had no choice because he had been baptized before Prince Louis was born, but Johanna wanted Juan to be baptized in a manner equivalent to that of a prince.
However, this seems to be a major source of anxiety for my stepmother.
"― ― It is still of great concern that young children remain without the protection of God.For example, when Ernando is nervous and Juan is the only one who has a cold and seems ill, I feel sorry for the fact that I swing my child for adults. "
My stepmother is faithful to all generations.After all, even if the type of faith is not clear, the stepmother obviously still has a skeptical view of the New National Church.
"Just a little more patience. The same is naturally a concern within the Royal Palace.The teachings of the new National Church itself are finally coming together as a doctrine as a result of the transfer of the capital to Vauela, and I'm sure it will soon be decided how to receive protection. "
"... I guess so."
"Don't worry.Besides, Your Majesty herself is a devout believer of the Prosperous Lord.Neither the new Church of Nations, of which His Majesty is the Lord, nor the new Church of Nations, can it be a teaching that has never been the same. "
Not good enough to convince her stepmother here, Johanna said in a confident tone.
"It is never too late to baptize Juan after he has fulfilled his allegiance to the prince he will serve in the future."
As a nanny serving the prince, Johanna was always in a position to gaze at the political situation from behind the royal palace.
That's why she feels it.--The suspicion of spiralling religious problems in the royal palace these days.
This is not the beginning, but the traditional Prospero Old Nationalists are being pushed by the wave of the founding of the National Church.As the aftermath disappeared, they might even have started to speak out loudly about their faith.
and cut off the pious, and fulfill it for the sake of the nation.
They are asking where His Majesty the King is going with the Petra queen until he has abandoned the framework of generations.
Under the circumstances, it is no longer just a matter of honor as a Schulde family.
There was a major obstacle to the spread of the story that the first prince's nanny, who was supposed to swear allegiance closest to the royal family, had his son baptized by the old state religion.
There are as many people outside in the morning who want to take the fried feet of our faction.If she accepts it as the fault of Her Highness, who can't even bear the nearest nurse, it will naturally give the hostile faction a chance to enter.
Above all, His Majesty would have moved the Johanna family away from the royal family sooner rather than later to avert the crisis.
Johanna knew how careful and attentive you were to the religious challenges surrounding the royal family.
