"That's right. And while Alphonse was in this country, I had something to do. Your baptism will be a little special."
About the future, after focusing on the mercenaries, Mr. Ars suddenly said such a thing.
Baptism.
It's a special ritual that doesn't exist in the East.
This ritual, which is held every year in the church, usually brings together children who are six years old in that year.
That's where you get life magic with the protection of God.
I will be six at dawn. [M]
You can say that the original purpose of coming back here is a baptism.
But is it a special baptism?
"Do something unusual?
"No, I haven't changed anything. However, it is not normal. Normally, the baptism would be in church, right? But for a moment, you were thinking of doing it in this Barca Castle, not in the church."
"Hmm. That's fine, but why would you do that? You're not with me in church, are you?
"It's just that people who do it are different. If it had been this Vulcania, the church would now be a Sister. But I'll do your ritual, not that person."
"Ah, is Mr. Ars going to do the baptism? It's okay. Do that?
"It's okay. I am the king of the sky and the shield of God. It is named directly by the god Aisha, and it can be named and inherited. That's why it's okay if I do the baptism."
... is there really no problem?
I know that Mr. Ars is the shield of God, but I've never heard of him performing a baptism ceremony before.
You're not doing this on your own, are you?
You have permission, don't you?
I'm kind of worried all the time.
"Okay, okay. Does that mean I'll have my brother Ars give me a name?
"No, I'm the one doing the baptism, but there's someone else to name it."
"Oh, can you do that?
"I can. I just need someone else to name me while I expand my named magic squad. If you're there, you can name anyone."
"Heh, I didn't know. But then, who's going to name me? I can't think of anyone else who would do such a thing but Mr. Ars."
"No, you're alone. He said he really wanted to name you."
"... no way"
"I see. It's Lillina. Your name is Liina. Ready?"
Dear Liliner,
Mr. Ars' wife is the queen of this country.
I've only seen him a few times before, apparently.
But I don't remember much about that time.
I just remember being kind.
I wonder why you're so kind to me even though I'm a queen.
I thought you must be a very good person.
But it wasn't.
Ars said.
I was definitely born out of Liliana's stomach.
That means she's actually my real mother. [M]
... I don't know how it feels.
Until now, I thought my mother was the only one.
Because I never thought I'd have a real mother.
But I never dreamed of having a real mother and actually being the queen.
"Sorry, Alphonse. I'll tell you right now, don't call me Mother about Lillina. You are only my brother. If you talk to your mother, you'll lose your freedom. But if you hate me, you hate me. Liliana is really heartbroken."
"Yes, I know, Mr. Ars."
I see. Lillina has never forgotten about you. That's probably why. I always said I wanted to put your name on it. Will you accept Lillina's name, Alphonse?
"Of course, brother Ars. I'd like to ask you too. [M] I want Liina-sama to name it."
"Thank you. I'm glad you said that. Well, in the end, I'd be more happy if you could increase your magic. That will lead to your magic coming to Liina."
"Oh, I see. The more magic I have, the more magic will flow to the named Liina."
"That's what it is. If the magic from you raises the rank of Liliner, Liliner may also be able to use Heal . He cares a lot. I'm using Heal to make sure my appearance doesn't age."
Speaking of which, is your brother Ars going to be 21 the next year?
It doesn't look like it at all.
I think I look much younger than others. [M]
But Liliana feels like an adult woman.
A beautiful, gentle, warm, inclusive woman.
But I know that a woman cares about her age.
Everyone wants to be beautiful and young forever.
Mom and Liina must be together.
Perhaps the more magic I raise, the more I won't be able to grow old like Mr. Ars.
Then I'd be happy.
You and I, our real parents, have a clear connection.
I was kind of glad that it was asexual, and I decided to wait for Liina-sama to give me a name.
