Chapter 37
37
His Royal Highness was busy running to various places afterwards, and I could hardly get in touch with him.
When a month had finally passed, they said everything had come to a paragraph.
Today I had finally concluded my discussions with the Church in the King’s Capital, and His Highness and Lady Theodore had come to Marcel territory for final confirmation and report on the results.
He went to the church with His Highness, including a visit to the church where his succession had not yet been decided.
His Royal Highness and I were now sitting next to each other in a relatively invisible place: the second floor of the church. From the second floor of this blowout there is a good view of the ground floor, such as the person who came to worship the church.
I took care not to cause confusion on the matter of the clergy for now. At this stage, the clergyman is supposed to have made his way to the Wang Capital at the convenience of his family.
For this reason, it seems that the inhabitants who visit here now are visiting here as usual. It also seems that clerics in other ecclesiastical churches in the realm may take their place.
The kids seem to miss each other, but I and Sarah are visiting as much as they can to help Sister.
His Royal Highness, sitting next to him, smiled loosely at his eyes, “This church is finally going to settle down, too,” he said.
When I turned to His Highness, I was sorting out the explanations I had just heard from His Highness.
“In other words, the Church is not involved in any way on this issue. Is this the problem the Wato family had alone?”
“Oh, that’s the thing. It could actually be that Aloys’ father was instructed by someone, or that he went to his own faith.
But there’s no more evidence on the part of the church, and now we have to settle for it. ”
“… that’s the least harm to the Church.”
But it’s kind of moisturizing.
Even though some people seem to suspect more involvement.
Because there is no evidence, only those who acted in a manifest manner can be brought to justice.
“I just don’t want to go public on this one. The Church officially announced that it recognizes the Spirit of Darkness.”
“Really?”
“And I also made him promise to cooperate actively in examining the mystery of the Spirit of Darkness.
Well, I don’t know how much information the church gives out, but it’s a big one I could lend. ”
The criticism from the people would be awesome when the public knew that the humans of the Church in close relationship with the Spirit were involved in the prohibition of spirit-killing.
Of course, the Episcopal Church is a state religion, so its criticism could flare up to the royal family.
That was something I also wanted to avoid as a royal family.
For this reason, the use of the prohibition was kept secret, and this case was publicly adjudicated as another crime.
This is an offer from the Church. Thus, the church would have made a great debt to the royal family.
And when the Church recognized the Spirit of Darkness, all appearances would behave favorably towards the Spirit of Darkness.
And about me, who made a covenant with that dark spirit.
“It was decided that the Church would declare the Spirit of Darkness a precious being alongside light.
This will stabilize Rachel’s position a little bit, even though he is a lowly spirit ”
“Thank you. From what to what”
“No, nothing happened to Rachel or Crowe this time by coincidence that Aloys had taken the lead”
“Yes, thanks to the priest.”
“I can’t say it will continue to be the case. The darkness remains a mystery.”
“Yes.”
I also nod correctly in posture to His Highness’s magical face.
Yes, we shouldn’t be alarmed by this.
Sometimes the thoughts of different people are still swirling. Besides, most people don’t know about the Dark Spirit.
“But I promise.
I’ll always protect Rachel. ”
His Highness Bea’s eyes pierce me straight.
I take my breath without thinking about that serious look.
I’ve never had an eye with such a strong light.
And His Highness took my hand and shook it.
It made me feel slightly nervous from the hand.
I wonder what’s wrong, staring into His Highness’s face.
His Royal Highness prefaced “I need you to listen” in a quiet voice after taking a loud, deep breath.
Reply by nodding at the voice.
Then His Highness loosened his eyes and grinned gently at his mouth.
“Rachel… I like you.”
Like…?
Your Highness. Me?
As if my head didn’t understand what they said for a moment, I couldn’t hear any noise around me.
… Your Highness likes me.
Perhaps it felt thin.
But the first thing I felt was pure surprise.
And joy, confusion.
I feel wrinkles and red cheeks.
You wouldn’t even have blinked with your mouth open, Pocan.
But gradually, the word “I like” by Zihuahua and His Highness runs through my body.
As the spring breeze has blown, I’m in the mood for something ticklish, fluffy, light and gentle, warm to my heart.
As the flowers sprout, so that His Highness’s appearance changes vividly all the colors of my sight.
I feel something warm getting my cheeks wet.
But without the means to wipe those tears, I just stared at His Highness with blurred vision.
We have to tell him something.
Respond to His Highness’s thoughts, something.
My feelings now.
“What can I say…
I think if I could stay next door…
But not only do I want to be protected, I want to be able to support you next to you. ”
I honestly don’t know if I can give the same feeling back to the word Your Highness’s likes.
However, if His Highness wishes, I want to be with him so that I can respond to it.
I honestly felt that way.
And I won’t run anymore in the future.
Put a lid on your feelings and stop pretending not to look.
Because that’s the only thing I can give back to His Highness that stares straight at me.
And someday.
I hope the day comes when I can return the same words to His Highness from my own mouth, I feel so.
“Rachel, that’s…”
His Highness opened his eyes for a moment, shaking his gaze to the left and right to make him mouth cage something.
And I recall that I still have something to tell His Highness.
What I was going to tell His Highness the next time I saw him.
“I’ve made up my mind. Trying to stop running anymore.
This is where I found it. What I want to do now ”
“Ah, ah.”
Much has been learned in this territory.
In this natural abundance of seas and mountains, all live vibrant and vibrant people.
And the orphans we met in it.
I also still have a lot to learn to give my future child something.
“Return to the Wang capital and go to school. And I’m going to learn a lot more.”
“Oh, I’ll be there for you.”
His Royal Highness smiles gently at my words and he snorts forcefully.
Look at that. I was nervous somewhere too. My heart relaxes, my mouth looses naturally.
But His Highness still wandered his gaze to tell him something. “That, earlier,” he mutters many unclear words.
I wonder.
Unexpectedly tilting his neck, His Highness opens his mouth as he had decided to.
“Earlier… the answer…”
But at that moment, I heard footsteps for two people climbing the side stairs.
And the bright voice as usual.
“Hey, Louis! I’ve brought in a new cleric.”
It was Master Theodore in his usual black robe who showed up.
And I walked from behind with my face down at first sight, oh my God.
“Dear Cleric! Why…”
When I am surprised by the figure of the priest behind Master Theodore, His Highness has no indication of surprise at all.
On the contrary, he is lifting his eyes to protest something when he gets up and goes to Master Theodore with his big crotch.
“Not at all. You’re at a bad time. … No, you’ve seen it!
“Bad listening. Look, why don’t you say hello?
Lady Theodore gently presses the priest’s back without even paying attention to His Highness’s condition or anything else.
Then, the cleric frowns and gives a bitter look.
“No, I don’t deserve to be here…”
His Highness sighs heavily at the word of the priest.
And I turned my body toward the clergyman as I told him.
“Alois, you didn’t grab Rachel. I was protecting it. Right?
“No, I take Lady Rachel…”
For the exchange between His Highness and the clergy… Oh, you mean that? and convince one.
And I look at the cleric’s face, and I laugh nicely.
“Yeah, I wasn’t caught.”
His Royal Highness dared not make good the priest who tried to suffer.
I’m sure this cleric-like cleric considered an important person to support the Church in the future, may be one factor.
It’s easy to uncover and question sins here.
But there’s no one to gain where he was brought to justice with his family.
That’s right, Your Highness.
When one was convinced, Master Theodore approached my side softly and whined small in his ear.
“No, he’s going to sell you a favor and make you work when something happens.”
“Well!”
Unexpectedly and deliberately surprised by Lady Theodore’s words, His Highness approaches him in a hurry and enters between me and Lady Theodore.
“Hey Theodore, don’t blow anything weird into Rachel”
Until now, Pocan, the priest who watches our exchanges with the expression, becomes a hazy expression.
Then lay your hands on your chest on one knee toward Your Highness.
“Your Highness…… what can I thank you for this time……”
“No, all that thought is for the people. I hope you’ll work hard again from now on.”
The clergyman bit his lips in His Highness’s words.
But when he closed his eyes and gently wiped his eyes with his own hands, he put the gentle grin on his face as usual.
And with a gentle smile towards His Highness, I let my purple eyes shine, “But are you sure?
I tilted my neck to make sure.
“What?”
“Just because the Church recognized the Spirit of Darkness doesn’t mean the engagement has become firm, does it?
“Ugh…”
With the seemingly good grin of man, the cleric turns his gaze towards me.
“Lady Rachel, let me know as soon as you decide to dissolve your engagement with His Royal Highness Prince Wang.”
“Huh?”
“Then do your best to brighten the future of the children with me.”
Master Theodore blew out the words. Then I shudder my shoulders with couscous too.
The clergyman did not hide his still reddish eyes and smiled like a warm yang.
Only His Highness said, “Hey! Don’t talk about people’s fiancées!” and was stuffed to the clergy.
This church looks like it’s sinking somewhere.
This place is engulfed with laughter again.
Good.
I started laughing at this church again.
I’m sure this place will continue to mark a warm and peaceful time.
Thus, life in my territory will close once and for all.
And by returning to the Wang capital, we will also welcome a new routine, a meeting.
But because of my choice, it had changed a lot from the previous raw. That will await further incidents in the future, but I have yet to realize them.
♢
This happened after moving from the church to the Lordship Hall of Marcel.
“By the way, Theodore, what is Rachel’s fateful encounter? Rachel told me you didn’t know that.”
“Uh, you know…”
I leaned my neck against Fate’s Encounter, which I was asked unexpectedly in the carriage.
Mr. Theodore told His Highness something, but… what is it?
“Hey, Samuel!
“Ah, yes. What is it?”
Samuel is called to a halt by Master Theodore where he was carrying tea confectionery and shook his shoulders vividly as he was surprised.
But Master Theodore doesn’t care at all. He turns his arm around Samuel’s shoulder and has some kind of whispering conversation.
“His Royal Highness Prince Wang wants to hear about your meeting with that bean.”
“Why!?
“Look, listen carefully. If this makes Louis interested in those beans. They’ll solve your troubled problems instantly with the best people in the country and the twats outside the country.”
“Become!”
“Okay. It all depends on how you make Louis interested. Look, go!
“Yes!
Samuel, hearing something from Master Theodore, approached His Highness with a rough nose. He hits his usual highness with fear in front of him and changes, approaching him jizzily from himself to his highness.
The eyes glow demonically, like a carnivore with prey in front of them.
His Royal Highness, who sensed that it was not such a mess, is causing his face to draw.
But Samuel doesn’t seem to mind that.
“His Royal Highness Prince Wang, let me begin by describing a bean called soybean…”
Why are you suddenly a bean?
“This bean called soybean is not just a bean to sit on. A fascinating being, with all its possibilities”
“Hey, close! Close… Ok, I’ll ask, just stay away from me!
Only His Highness’s loud voice and Samuel’s pale voice echo the mansion.
And only Master Theodore disappeared at some point.
