"... wow, this is the sacred capital...!

Looking at the streets of St. Utopiar from the carriage window, it was Brood who shouted with admiration.

Irina and Sieg also enjoy their first foreign sights by sticking to the windows, just like Brood.

"It's okay now, but since we're at the cathedral, all three of you stay together. I can't show you how embarrassing it is, because you're going to be international students representing the Istward Kingdom."

I'll be careful, but it's a mystery if you're listening properly.

Well, all three are still nine and ten years old.

When I remember how seriously I listened to adult advice when I was about that age... there was something quite suspicious about it.

Ultimately, even if these three feel like climbers all the time while studying abroad, I have to say that there is no problem because the original purpose is not for them.

However, it is a fact that there is a certain amount of decency, so I wanted you to be firm at an early stage.

To be honest, I don't feel much of a problem with Irina.

Because she is so smart.

But Sieg and Brood...

I think if it was Sieg back then, he would have stood up wisely, but now that Sieg has grown up quite relaxed, I can't expect that.

He's an extremely honest and free boy.

And because Brude became so close to Sieg, he had a similar personality.

If you go too far to the boulder, Brude will stop because he is aware of being noble, but it is too late after that.

I don't think it was too early to select these three, but I had no choice but to hope that they would work hard in the mode of going elsewhere because they were foreign to the boulders.

He was originally a good three, and now he's just excited about his first foreign trip.

For a while, the carriage proceeded and stopped when it reached the deepest part of the sacred capital.

There was a huge and magnificent cathedral, which was the cathedral of the Holy Nation and thus the heart of the Holy City of Camea.

There are many priests waiting at the front entrance, as well as one priest of high moral standing who will bring them together.

As we got off the carriage, he raised his face and approached.

"… Welcome, Duchess of Farrence. I am Hamdan Jazir, one of the Churches and Cardinals."

His skin, so named, was light black and different from the colours of the race that dominated the countries around it.

Sure, from the south...

Recently, one of the cardinals died and became the new cardinal, and I knew his name, but I was surprised because he didn't tell me about race.

Did you understand my gaze?

"As you may know, I am from the South. I think it's an unusual color....."

That's right. I just missed it because it was a color I haven't seen in a long time. "

If you mistake me for an insulting gaze, I will trouble you in many ways, so let me be honest with you first.

Hamdan looks surprised.

"Do you know any Southerners?

"Yes, to my parents' servant. However, I haven't seen you in a long time because I got married and quit my job... so I'm glad to see someone like you, Master Hamdan."

"Thank you for saying that. There are not many nobles who find me uncomfortable as a cardinal....."

Well, there will be others like that.

The Southerners are a warring nation.

It is said that it is always dawn in battle, and that is why it appears barbaric from the middle human.

There are people who don't hide that feeling.

But I didn't want to think there were so many fools pointing at the Cardinal.

Even if you are, I want you to be someone other than Istward.

Anyway, when it comes to the ecclesiastical cardinals, there is no doubt that they have a power comparable to that of the head of state.

The Church has roots throughout the continent.

There are only six people in the organization, and after all, the next Pope is chosen from among them.

Even a king of one country could not make a taste of the Cardinal, and it was normal to encounter him as a guest of state when visiting the country.

For that reason, to be honest, I was surprised that you'd come to pick me up...

Perhaps he is the head of the Episcopal Church who insisted this time on revealing the talents of the next Virgin?

I wondered, but I can't ask him directly here.

"Unpleasantly. But aren't you given the opportunity to be on the front page? I don't think I've had much chance to ask your name....."

"That's right. From now on, I intend to vigorously travel around the area, but there was also a handover, and the jurisdiction was mainly concentrated on the back. My name and face have not yet been communicated to the general followers....."
