(3) Why civilization has perished
The private room Cain led seemed like a really normal place where life was taking place, and no escort had even arrived.
I stand in front of the door precisely, but it is impossible to begin with a situation where I can talk to Prince Wang without escort if I think normally.
That would be a sign that Sigel is trusted.
Most importantly, Sigel has a good sense that he owes more to Laura than to being trusted.
Besides, it's obvious, but the maids are nearby, so it's not entirely just the two of us.
I made sure Sigel sat in the chair provided in the room before Cain cut the story out.
"- Now, congratulations on your engagement."
"Ah, yes. Thank you."
Rather than Prince Wang, Sigel bowed his head, not expecting Laura's brother to say such a thing, just to look a little strange.
Maybe it's because I didn't get a chance, but I didn't think they'd say that all of a sudden here.
When I saw Sigel's face like that, Cain laughed cously.
"Is it strange for me to say this? You still thank Lord Siegel for this, don't you?
"Thank you......?
"Yeah, because our brothers, as royals, had a hard time getting along too well. I owe that and this to my sister...... Anyway, self-reliance sprouted on my sisters, undoubtedly because my sister left the castle."
Cain was nodding at Sigel as he said so.
To date, Laura's sisters, including Cain, have been sweet to Laura on behalf of her busy parents.
That's why its proxy (?) Being gone, he held a slight emotion towards Sigel that was neither jealous nor angry.
However, when it came to Cain, I saw Laura's happy face looking at Sigel and those thoughts were quickly blowing away.
The moment I saw that face, I felt that I was sweet to Laura.
The other siblings have not had a chance to meet Sigel in person, but have begun to accept him with the emotion of giving up after listening to him from Cain and his parents.
Even though I could just feel Laura wasn't around all the time, she's moving in a good direction for the princesses.
"- So I was hoping to thank you one day."
"Word is, isn't that what you're supposed to say to me?
"Maybe so, because it's also true that if you weren't here, it wouldn't have changed"
If they say that much, I can't even say it back as Sigel.
I feel a little overwhelmed, but I decided to accept Cain's gratitude.
Cain went on to say even more, looking at Sigel nodding, saying yes.
"Shall we get down to business with this story? - So, as someone who's actually seen the ruins, what do you think?
"Is that why civilization has perished? … what can I say so far?"
Cain stared at Sigel, who said an unanswerable answer.
Sigel went on to say that he understood that his face wanted to know why he had come to think that.
"As far as I know, civilization perishes for a variety of reasons. You'll come up with as many reasons as you want, such as aggression of other civilizations, large-scale natural disasters, etc. But none of them stick together, right?"
"Stick around?
"Yep. Do you think that's the only reason all the knowledge and technology is going to go away clean and refreshing?
When Sigel asked him that, Cain put his arms around him, looking like he was thinking of something.
It was Cain who did that for a while, but eventually shook his neck left and right before looking at Sigel.
"Surely you would have seen that ship with advanced technical skills, but not everything wasn't taken over?
It is now believed that a further civilization from the civilization in which the Takels existed had developed with similar technical capabilities.
As Siegel has just said, it is abusive to think that knowledge has been lost neatly. "
"Maybe so, but it seems to me that those technologies were intentionally hidden."
It is a civilization that was free to come and go all over the continent using flying ships.
It was Siegel's idea that, unless there was so much going on, it should not happen that all of a sudden there would be no trace of civilization.
Otherwise, rhetoric or something should always remain in some form.
Hearing Sigel's explanation of it, Cain nodded again.
"I see. I understand what you're trying to say. So you're uncomfortable with the sudden demise of super ancient civilization."
"No, it's not. No matter how advanced civilizations were, suddenly they could perish. It just seems strange that the trace is almost gone."
As far as Sigel knows, I've never heard or seen anything at all about the prehistoric civilization before that.
Cain had the same idea about that, so he looked like he was going to think about it again.
Seeing that Cain's face, Sigel said to add even more.
"It's just that the complete absence of traces can be a conjecture,"
"What does that mean?
"It was said that there was only one civilization that had developed in the past. Naturally, literature and other studies should have been based on that premise."
When Sigel said that, Cain became convinced face here.
"I see. Do you actually mean it could be mixed up, not about one civilization"
"Right. Perhaps a myth or something is likely to do that?
This is entirely only Siegel's imagination, but he thinks it could be one of the possibilities.
Besides, it's not just my idea that Sigel mentioned this.
"As for mythology, Marina should have been studying it in depth. I'm guessing she doubts that, too, because we talked about it before."
Cain got an indescribable look on Sigel, who went on to say that he should be thinking the same thing in each religion, not just in the marina.
"Does that mean each religion is hiding something"
"Well, you rarely announce anything that goes against the teachings that religion has taken over from the past. I just don't think I'm going to hide it in this case."
To Siegel's words, Cain has turned his gaze to continue ahead.
Sigel nodded at the cain once, going on and on.
"I don't think the religious side has organized the information properly yet either. I haven't had much time since I came out. On the other hand, I don't want to think it's going to be like hiding it all the time."
"... that's for sure"
To Siegel's words, Cain has returned a bitter laugh.
It is becoming recognized as a fact that there was a super ancient civilization, at least around Horstat.
In that, it would be difficult to be a religion with so many followers that it is just a delusion to hide those facts.
If in this situation each religion had a fact that it wanted to hide anything, it could only be assumed that facts had emerged that were contrary to doctrine.
That being the case, and it would be a very troublesome matter, I could immediately understand Cain saying that Sigel didn't want to think about it.
Where the story reached religion, I finished talking about everything Sigel could talk about.
All that's left is the idea of just an imaginary world that's not even reasoning.
"So now we know very little about why super ancient civilizations have perished."
"I see. Well understood."
Cain said so and nodded, then looked straight at Sigel.
"I see what you're thinking.... but what about that one?
There are only enough beings to count that Cain, Prince Wang, can call him "that one."
Besides, if Siegel becomes a known being, he comes more limited.
Sigel quickly figured out who Cain was talking about "that one," he shook his neck left and right with a bitter smile.
"I don't know because I haven't heard it. Besides, you probably wouldn't even tell me if you asked, would you?
"Really?
To Siegel's words, Cain looked strange.
"Yeah, even though I can call it in, it doesn't mean I'm fully compliant"
"... Really?"
Regardless of what you thought when you heard Sigel's answer, Cain returned just that.
Or maybe he's been putting in an exploration of how much Siegel has to do with the Great Spirit, but Siegel thinks that doesn't matter.
The fact that the Great Spirit can be summoned at any time can be enough of a threat to those in this world.
What Cain wanted to ask Sigel was if that was the last time, and then we ended this discussion with a chat about Laura.
As a Siegel, I thought it was enough to hear an unexpected side of Laura's past from her brother.
