The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People
320. The Second Prince was taught.
"Oh! Master Lance, did Master Cedric also run errands for the kingdom of Chinensis?
Two months and three days after my ninth birthday.
As usual, I visited the kingdom of Chinensis to meet my brother's friend, Prince Joan. Then me and my brother met Sir Aegie and his men, who are also the upper echelons of the kingdom of Sursis, in front of Prince Joan's castle.
"Sir Aegie.... Oh, I made a promise to Prince Joan.
I stare at them as they hide behind my brother, who answers them calmly. "Really, we're going to be together," he said. It's an odd encounter. I didn't even want to have a conversation with the adults who would love to know what it was. Adults still try to get into me. The others were still turning their glances at me in conversation with my brother.
There are still rumors of "divine sons" in the heads of the upper management.
And I... didn't want to exchange words with anyone the same way. with my brother, and
"Hey. Lance, Cedric. I've been waiting.
... other than Prince Joan.
Prince Yoan, who knew we were going to visit, smiled softly and greeted us with his escorts.
A year and twenty-six days after my brother invited me to visit the kingdom of China.
Prince Joan was a good prince, as my brother said.
At the same age as his brother, he seems to be an excellent prince among the royalty of the kingdom of Chinensis in history.
As soon as he met him, he realized why I kept avoiding studying. That my brother didn't even notice the adults in the castle.
Called "Divine Son," I abhor having aliases that fool the gods of the faithful kingdom of China.... should be. Prince Joan said he didn't think so at all.
'Cause you're Lance's brother with the best king's vessel in the country.'
For the first time, Prince Joan saw me not as a "godson," but as his brother's brother.
That's what made me so happy to die.
"Yoan, I'm sorry. They've overlapped this one's visit.
"No, it's fine, because I didn't totally grasp it either.
As it were, Prince Joan entrusted the guards with his guidance to Sir Aegie, and invited us straight to his room.
Prince Joan's presence was my brother's next salvation.
He knew how good my brother was, and he also understood what I was trying to do.
Someone showed up to know me, someone noticed me.
He said he had someone to take a good look at him.
"... so, Cedric. Are you running away from your teacher again? You're still fast on your feet.
"It's not funny, Yoan. Cedric is smarter than people, but if you don't learn, it's a treasure rotter too.
My brother roars at the words of Prince Joan. … Rather, holding rot is the aim.
My brother still chases me every time I run away from my studies. I have trouble scratching my brother's majesty, so if my brother finds me, I have to be caught. Thanks to you, I absorbed a little knowledge today.
"Cedric. Why don't you at least sort it out. You have the knowledge to acquire and help. [M] History, law, manners, education, and so on."
"I don't need it.
Block Prince Joan's words along the way. Then my brother scolded me.
Prince Joan said he would support me in what I do, but for some reason he tries to persuade me every time when it comes to running away from all my studies.
A month and ten days ago, etc. "If you don't want adults to know what you remember, why don't I just sneak up on you?" He whispered. Naturally I said no. This is how I can live without having to remember to study. Yet I didn't want to increase my knowledge in vain. Anyway, just living makes me more wasted knowledge on my own.
Besides, the history and laws of the Kingdom of Sursis are already in my mind. Everything that was read by the age of four about the history of other countries was in my mind as well.... Because if you recite in front of a teacher, the rumors of the Divine Son will only grow again.
"Rather than that, let me talk to you about the kingdom of Chinensis at any rate.
Prince Joan smiles bitterly at my usual demands. I laughed a little while my brother put his cheek cane next door.
Ever since I became involved with Prince Joan, I began to travel with my brother to the kingdom of Chinensis every time.
The view outside the carriage, which was scary at first, also allowed for a gradual peek. … There is no such thing as a difference between our country and the building, but the condition of the people did not change at all.
There was a lot of a building called the Church, which was rather a beautiful building, with no sense of toughness or fear at all, if you think that was a fragment of the faith of the kingdom of Chinensis you were listening to.
I couldn't believe how scared I had been of such a beautiful view.
I didn't think I could guess at all, such as what the adults taught me in my country.... Especially about the kingdom of Chinensis.
When I first asked Prince Joan to teach me about the kingdom of Chinensis, my brothers and sisters were amazed. He was surprised that I kept avoiding studying.
But I could believe much more about my brother and Prince Yoan than those grown-ups said. That's why I wanted to know.
Prince Joan checked with his brother and then recommended the couch to me.
"What shall we talk about today," she asked, a little troubled. I have also heard about rituals such as the faith and customs of the kingdom of Chinensis, the vows of blood, and the temptations of the kingdoms of Chinensis and Circus, all of which were so interesting that it was not enough to ask.
The more difference I had with the Kingdom of Sursis, the more interesting it was just for me to know the difference.
When I thought about what I wanted to hear and looked around the room like I was looking for an answer, I had an eye on Prince Yoan's chest on the pretend.
"... the pendant.
Prince Joan asked me, "Oh, this is it," and let me grab my own cross pendant.
The same motifs were listed somewhere in the church. I heard in a previous story that it was a symbol of God who believed, but Prince Joan laughed brightly when asked if wearing it was one of the faiths.
"It's nothing like having to wear this. It's just... right. … protect, I guess.
Prince Yoan, laughing somewhere smelly, took off his pendant once and put it up on me to show.
White based cross. The kingdom of Chinensis, where minerals thrive, but this cross was a simple construction with no decorations whatsoever.
"By wearing symbols, God is with you. Protect us with that blessing.... I hope so, I'm making a wish.
The shade fell in Prince Joan's eyes, who said it had always been a support for me. Prince Joan also wondered if he was alone... for a moment.
"God has no... form. This is also only a symbol, not God Himself. In our faith it is forbidden to idolize God.
Believe in shapeless beings.
... I still don't understand that either. But I thought it was beautiful to believe in even one thing, and... I was willing to figure it out a little. Instead, I even thought I envied Prince Joan, who had both a God and a brother in his believable existence.
I saw Prince Joan praying to God in front of us several times, even while my brother and I were visiting, but he didn't look like the kind of cult we heard from adults at all.
"Pray to God, sing, keep the teachings, and be thankful.... As I've told you before, that's all we believe in. That's why he wants to be more beside me, he wants to devote himself to God... and I guess that's what he thinks.
That being said, Prince Joan hung his pendant back on his neck again. The cross swayed, reflecting on the sun from the window, shining white.
"And... it's not something to impose either. It's just that if you or Lance would just admit this way of life we... we'd be so happy.
Prince Joan, stroking my head softly, kept his eyes on my brother after me. I nodded and replied to the gentle smile.
On this day I have gained real knowledge of the kingdom of Chinensis again. But there was no brainwashing at all that I was afraid of at the time.
How much I have learned about the values and culture of the kingdom of Chinesis, it simply adds to my knowledge. And...
"I don't find it abominable, disgusting, or obnoxious. I swear to my God, Cedric."
... the world expands a little, that was all.
