447 – Does your career as a civil servant end when you get married? – 1
The luminous cross incident in which Enen intervened did not end as a simple ‘happening that occurred during a wedding’.
The god of mainstream religion on the continent. Now that the Twilight Church has been completely destroyed and the nomads have been taken into the arms of the empire, Enen’s blessing, whose status has become even higher, is enough to shake the empire and the entire continent. In this world where even a priest’s blessing is considered an honor, there is no one who would take God’s blessing lightly.
And in the midst of that commotion, the emperor, like a man whose intelligence is inversely proportional to his humanity, was the first to come to his senses.
“The majesty of the imperial family and the empire was established upright because it was truly the heavenly Enen and the Great Emperor’s protection, and he himself blessed the marriage of a loyal subject who has now given many red robes to His Majesty and the Emperor.” How could it not be a blessing?”
First of all, I acknowledged Enen’s involvement in my wedding and at the same time made the blessing an ‘extension of a blessing for the imperial family and the empire’ rather than a ‘blessing for my marriage’. It was advertised that God was watching over the imperial family and empire, not just a single subject.
Of course, if another monarch had done it, it would not have worked. No matter how much it is an extension of the blessing, it cannot be convincing that he showed his presence at the wedding of a mere subject rather than a monarch. It is enough to say that subjects are favored more than the monarch.
But the emperor has no worries about that. Because the emperor’s reign as emperor itself is Enen’s blessing. Any blessing is given to a weak favorite rather than an emperor who has been given a mandate from God.
‘Anyway, the head is good.’
I burst out laughing as I remembered the emperor who was waging a cruel battle over public opinion. Thanks to that bastard’s great performance, the aggro aimed at me was dispersed, so it’s not that bad.
In addition, a series of spectacular events occurred, such as Cardinal Lisciuco, who officiated at a wedding blessed by God, emerging as a candidate for the next Pope, and the Holy See sending a mission quickly. It goes without saying that interest in me has decreased somewhat.
‘As expected, pain is lessened when shared.’
Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy an intimate newlywed life. The mansion was almost filled with guests from the day of the wedding.
“Kaaal… Are you awake already…?”
“Oh, sorry. Are you awake?”
In the meantime, when she kissed Mar’s forehead as he opened his mouth in a half-asleep state, Mar smiled brightly with her still sleepy face. Apparently, the guy who was lying in the same bed got up and woke up from the shock.
I just woke up briefly to go to the bathroom, but it wasn’t until late in the morning that I finally woke up Mar, who had fallen asleep. I feel sorry that she has become a husband who unintentionally disturbs his wife’s sleep.
‘I did interfere a lot.’
She smiled at me ─ and at the same time, she smiled bitterly as she looked at Mar, who was lying in an upright position on her bed and not even moving.
‘I did too much.’
From noble mtl dot com
Ten days from the wedding to today. During that time, Marr spent an overwhelmingly longer amount of time doing other things than sleeping in her bed. Thanks to this, she was physically strained to the point where she had to lie down in an upright position.
However, I have no regrets. Because it was not something I did just for my own good, but for the sake of the happiness of my wife and, by extension, the Crasius family.
“The authority of the Crasius family is strong, but the more blood relatives there are, the better.”
Even at first, Mar was more proactive. How outrageous is it that she even said that in the carriage on the way to her wedding?
“Ka, Carl? Wait a minute, just take a break…”
“The reason I asked to see the sun rise was Marry.”
However, no matter how indomitable Marr’s spirit was, she could not overcome my physical abilities. It was obvious, but only Marr didn’t know that.
I gently stroked Marr’s head, remembering what had happened over the past 10 days.
‘The second generation will be born within this year.’
Maybe it will come to us with the first snow.
“Hey, Carl.”
“Huh?”
When the second child was born and I was wondering what to name her, I heard Marr’s faint voice.
“Our first child. Maybe her birthday is similar to mine.”
Those words made me smile.
I thought she was thinking the same thing as me.
I came out of the room with Mar, who barely managed to get up while holding onto her waist. No matter how tired she is, it is difficult for her to eat in her room.
“Master, madam! Are you awake already?”
“Oh, the meal is still being prepared, so please wait a moment.”
And she was a little surprised when, not long after, her Euris and Sofia came out, as if they had been waiting for her. Was she waiting near the room and came running when she heard the sound coming out?
“Tell them that we woke up early so there’s no need to rush.”
“Yes, yes!”
Anyway, when I patted the head of Sophia, who looked embarrassed, she nodded repeatedly. It’s not that the meal was late because the chef and the cooks were joking around, but it was a situation where we showed up earlier than usual. It is a problem that is completely understandable.
If you get angry now, it would be like asking why there was no food when you went to the restaurant earlier than the reservation time.
“Ah, ma’am. If it’s okay with you, may we help you?”
Her hand that was stroking Sophia stiffened at Yuris’ bright words.
Although she is not yet fully grown, she tries to walk upright, saying that she cannot show an undignified appearance in front of her employees. But did she really mention to Mar that she was a helpmate? According to Juris’ judgment, this means that Mar cannot walk normally.
‘Was it really nearby?’
She swallowed her saliva without thinking. Of course, they know everything, but they still look like little kids, perhaps because they’ve seen each other since they were young and because they’re the youngest residents of the mansion. When I thought that I had ruined my newlywed life to the extent that even these little kids knew about it, I felt an indescribable shame.
Finally, when she quietly turned her gaze to the side, she saw Mar with a red face.
‘I’m sorry.’
I thought I knew what she was thinking, so I offered a sincere apology. It must be crazy to think that everyone knows about the excitement of newlyweds.
And Mar looked at me as if she felt my gaze, and her eyes filled with a little resentment filled her eyes with tears.
…I guess I’m quite crazy to think that he’s cute even in situations like this.
***
After putting my seal on the last document, I sighed. Even if it’s the last, it won’t be long before new documents come rushing in, but for now, it’s the last. In that case, you have no choice but to enjoy the moment.
‘I’m going to turn away.’
But when the document that had just been stamped caught my eye, I burst into laughter.
Yes, that document is the problem. Looking at that document makes it impossible for me to enjoy the moment. Could it be that I took care of that last for no reason?
[Cardinal Aldino Wojtaja, canonized Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and Cardinal Alexandrina Theresa, canonized congregants, are scheduled to enter the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. ]
I finally sighed when I saw the sentence proudly written at the top of the document. The visit of the two cardinals is evidence that the Holy See was turned upside down due to a miracle that occurred during the wedding of the Vicar of the Congregation.
In fact, it is natural. Enen, who was extremely reluctant to intervene unless it was a matter of the safety of the continent or the existence of the church, intervened in the wedding of a mortal. No matter how much I, the emperor, talk about how much I love the imperial family and the empire, and how it is proof that the mandate of heaven is solid, from the perspective of the Holy Church, which is the person involved, ‘Oh, I see.’ This is not an issue that can be overlooked.
That is why the Holy Church moved quickly and heavily at the same time. First, a hastily assembled delegation was sent to the empire—to be precise, St. Paronas Cathedral—and then an additional real delegation was formed.
‘It’s gorgeous.’
Even the key figures of the mission, Cardinal Aldino and Cardinal Alexandriana, are magnates who oversee as many as one castle. Combining the authority of a cardinal with the power of growth, they are virtually second only to the Pope. Even Cardinal Liciucco, the highest-ranking priest in the empire, is below those two in terms of rank within the church.
No, now that Cardinal Liciucco is a priest who has witnessed miracles up close, he may be on par or even better at this point.
…If you say this the other way around, it means that you have to be a cardinal who has seen a miracle up close to be able to compare with those two.
‘Is it a good thing the Pope didn’t come?’
It’s a thought that makes me laugh even when I think about it, but it’s true. It’s a shame that the Pope already visited last year to discuss the abdication ceremony, otherwise the issue would have been such that the Pope would have come. This cannot be denied.
Instead, the Ministry of Discipline and Discipline of the Sacraments, which is in charge of the religious liturgy and events, sent the growth of the Congregation for Saints and Saints, which is in charge of canonizing saints.
Would it have been easier for just one Pope to come? No, no. If the Pope moves, he will never come up with just the Pope, so this is better.
‘Damn.’
I crossed my eyebrows and sighed again. Thanks to the wedding of the Minister of Inspector General, the authority of the imperial family and the empire was further increased, but considering that the price was a grab with the Holy Church that turned a blind eye, it might have been better not to have it.
I feel resentful towards the minister. This is not the minister’s responsibility, but I would like to blame someone. I want to blame someone for this terrible situation.
‘If only we weren’t newlyweds.’
However, even that small hope cannot be achieved. The thick shield of newlyweds stands in the way of ordering the minister to resolve this matter. No matter what, it’s not right to mess with newlyweds.
“Should I just ignore it and call it?”
I inadvertently spit out my true feelings. Of course, if you summon a bureaucrat who is enjoying a cozy and hot honeymoon under the pretext of ‘sorting this out,’ even the most loyal servant can turn into a traitor. I’m not the type of person who doesn’t even know that much.
If the summons is for reasons that are objectively beneficial to the minister, it is possible. Wasn’t the nominee for Deputy Director of Information, who was taking a break due to childcare, easily able to be called up as it was a promotion? But unfortunately, this incident is clearly a negative cause. So I have no choice but to be patient.
‘A boss who resolves an accident caused by a subordinate.’
I suddenly feel ashamed.
To be exact, the accident was caused by Enen, not the Minister, but that’s the case anyway.
It is true that the emperor is a being who has received Enen’s blessing.
[ … A wedding blessed by the Lord of Heaven himself is a beautiful miracle comparable to the marriages of saints in the old Bible. If your Majesty allows, I would like to meet the two people who experienced that miracle in person and discuss their faith in the Lord. I hope you will generously allow me to do so. ]
Otherwise, there would be no way a letter like this would be sent.
‘Adult.’
The corners of his mouth twitched. The growth of canonization, not anyone else, discussed saints. The Minister of the Inspector General and Princess Marguetta—no, the canonization of Countess Tyglehen may be possible.
It is an honor for a deceased person to become a saint, but to become a saint alive? This is clearly a positive reason.
‘I guess I have no choice but to summon this.’
I was going to let the newlyweds enjoy themselves. It is truly a pity.
