078 Knight’s Honor and Middle Age Romance (2)
‘I am about to leave Prince Heathcliff’s side.’
Well.
‘Catherine, you know I love you.’
‘Yes, that’s why we shouldn’t be together.’
huh?
‘I don’t understand. Our hearts are connected as one.’
‘All right. You can feel the Prince’s warmth wherever you are.’
“How is this going?”
I murmured.
This week’s episode of Lister’s most talked-about work, ‘Reason, Sensibility and Divinity’, ended there.
I slowly covered the June 1st issue of ＜Biweekly Lister>.
Since there were not enough magazines in the Summer Palace, it was the latest issue that I read only after returning to the palace.
Heathcliff, however, was still unable to hold on to Catherine. ugly guy
“Did you two read it? I cried when I saw that last line…”
Sant, opposite the sofa in the parlor, cried.
Sant, whom I have been watching over the past week, is an 18-year-old, sensitive and tearful.
I was worried that I might have been hurt because of all the hard work I had done, but after receiving an apology from two of the three Paladins and one expressing regret, it became very bright.
Like now, there were many times when I first talked to Kristel.
“The best thing about coming to the Empire is being able to read ‘Reason, Sensibility and Divinity’ in real time.”
“It was an otaku.”
Christel, who was sitting next to me, murmured. I laughed like I didn’t hear.
As someone who had been in contact with ＜Biweekly Lister> from the first day of possession, it was not an incomprehensible sentiment.
The magazine contained not only the latest news from the imperial society, but also articles, interviews, colorful illustrations, and serial novels.
If you go back to the Kwawol issue and read it, the passing of a day was like the Netflix of Empire.
In particular, I heard that ‘reason, sensibility and divinity’ is a hot issue among commoners who have difficulty accessing publications.
“The main characters don’t talk too much.”
“I thought that too! I’m really crazy I want to grab Heathcliff by the neck.”
When I recited my impressions of the latest episode, Kristel strongly sympathized.
Sant looked at us with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Benjamin, who was brewing my tea, smiled.
“Sigh, but Catherine is the only true love of Archduke Heathcliff. I believe they will do well.”
“It seems like it will eventually, but the Archduke seems to be acting confused between Jane and Catherine. If you’re serious with Catherine, shouldn’t you break your engagement with Jane? Jane’s reaction is understandable.”
At my words, Sant shrugged his confident shoulders a little.
“That’s right, that’s right……. still! Because the Archduke had seen Jane insult Catherine. I want to make a decision somehow in the next episode!”
Can you call that an insult? I was just stating facts.
In fact, it could be defamation.
I shook my head and drank the Moringa tea from Benjamin.
At first glance, the clear taste similar to green tea gently enveloped the mouth.
Kristel grunted, ‘I’d rather just hang out with Jane and Catherine.’
‘Reason, Sensibility, and Divinity’ is a love story in which Prince Heathcliff struggles between his political companion, Princess Jane, and his religious companion, Priest Catherine.
Jane was still engaged, and she and Catherine were spiritually united through a covenant.
To Catherine, ‘You are a commoner and cannot satisfy the political needs of the Grand Duchess. If you’re not going to devote yourself solely to his religious discipline, then leave.’ Her demeanor was surprisingly calm.
It was like a character who was in charge of the ‘reason’.
Although it is a triangular relationship that is often seen in fiction, the author’s writing skills were so good that it was easily read.
Before Possession, I hadn’t even read ‘Toegye-gong’, which my brother promoted like that, but it was a little funny that I was looking at romance novels here.
“I wish there would be a paladin in the sequel.”
Sir Johann Haynes, who was listening quietly, said.
He had been immersed in origami for an hour before.
“The story of a paladin captured by the priest’s ether and the priest who falls in love with such a paladin sold well in the new country. Of course, Gamshin Lee has its own charm.”
When Lee Gam-shin did something, it was ‘reason, sensibility, and divinity’. reduce everything
“Wow, sir. You are also good at origami.”
Christel admired his hand movements.
Sir Haynes smiled softly and offered her the finished piece.
It was the ‘tyrant war dragon’ that we caught during the ‘big beast subjugation’, that is, a tyrannosaurus.
“Even Princess, please move your hands diligently. For a paladin, imagination is as important as the ether. You need to be able to quickly draw various shapes and forms in your head so that you don’t lose your sense in practice.”
Kristel nodded at his explanation and moved her hand to her colored paper.
I’ve only been able to fold the departments east, west, north, and south, but this time I thought I’d try something else.
As I began to observe the classes of the two main characters, there was a major change in Sir Haines’ educational route.
Dalian has definitely decreased the number of times.
Instead, there was a special ether circulation and meditation time for the paladin, and activities to increase the imagination like today were added.
There was also Kristel’s suggestion to go see the opera, but it was canceled because it was difficult for me to go out.
It would be just the three of us.
“Prince, an interview with writer Lee Gam-shin will be published in the next issue.”
He handed a piece of colored paper to Demi, who was on her lap, and Sant said in an excited voice.
“It is said that the questions sent by readers are also selected and answered. I’m so excited!”
“I wonder about that. Wouldn’t everyone be on the side of Princess Jane?”
“Child, you are a prince…”
Actually, I’m also on Jane’s side. I smiled and started origami.
Prince Sedric had a schedule today, so we were spending time alone.
As Canael said, the weather in the zodiac where the craze passed was similar to spring and autumn, so it was possible to maintain a refreshing condition both indoors and outdoors.
In the morning I had a short class with Cardinal Bootier.
I heard that it is not yet the time for the sanctuary to evolve.
‘I have to break the egg and come out, Prince.’
This is neither an egg nor ＜Damian>. It was a teaching that seemed impossible to grasp.
-smart
“Come on in.”
Then someone knocked on the living room door.
When I looked up, I saw Canael, who was tired of white, rushing into the room.
“Why, Canael? What happened?”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince… Ugh.”
As if running from a distance, a cold sweat was forming on the boy’s forehead.
Benjamin held out a handkerchief to him. Could the prince be injured?
“thank you. He requested a duel. His Majesty the Prince is about to duel with the Duke of Blanquere, and now the whole imperial palace is in turmoil!”
You intend to hurt others.
Then, Kristel threw the colored paper she was holding.
I tried to fold it like that, but the result was an airplane.
“Oh my God, you missed class and went to do something more interesting. Envy you!”
“But that’s…”
Looking at Kristel with genuinely envious eyes, Ganael made a very troubled face.
Then, the golden eyes carefully looked at me.
“Your Majesty said that the reason you asked for a duel was because of Prince Jesse.”
“What?”
“Please explain in detail.”
Benjamin politely urged. The boy swallowed dry saliva and opened his mouth.
“The Duchess of Blanquere has publicly spoken badly about the Prince in the Imperial Palace. His Highness passing by heard this and immediately threw the glove away. Count Mutte Soh, who was next to him, came forward as a witness. Several of the royal court servants saw the duke pick up the gloves, and they said that his face was fine, but his hands were shaking.”
“what······.”
I was dumbfounded. It’s been quiet for a while, but I don’t know what the fuss is about.
“In the words of Romero’s courtiers, he was charged with ‘daring to insult a guest of the royal family.’”
Guest? I quietly reviewed the prince’s logic.
From https://noblemtl.com
Obviously, the person in charge of the Juliet Palace was not me, but the owner of the Romero Palace.
It was not unreasonable for me to be recognized as a guest of the prince while staying here.
I don’t care what the duke said, but it felt strange for the prince to go out like that.
thank you a little Can I thank you?
“Your Majesty is a good student. You know ten because you teach one.”
Kristel smiled proudly. I think there’s something only the two of us know, wait a minute.
“If it’s Blanquer, isn’t it the hometown of His Majesty King Guk-seo?”
I asked hastily.
If my memory is correct, Alexandre Gukseo was the eldest of the venerable wizarding family, the Duke of Blanquere.
Benjamin received my words with confused eyes.
“Yes, my prince. The present Duke of Blanquere is the younger brother of His Majesty’s late King Guk-seo. The Duke of Blanquere is the duke’s son, and he is a cousin of the Crown Prince.”
no······. But what if you fight with your relatives?
*
“To challenge my cousin to a duel on the day the nobility is summoned, my lord is also very hot-tempered.”
“·················ogue.”
“You seem to have become very close with the prince. I’m happy.”
Aurelie Boutier drank her coffee, speaking softly.
Cedric Lister had not touched his coffee, just listening to her.
I didn’t regret throwing the glove.
It was the result of moving as a knight before he became a prince.
Anyone other than him would have acted that way.
Elizabeth, who was sitting there, could not hide her anger, and the nobles who dried the dukes also showed an attitude that they were coming.
However, an interview with the godmother could not be avoided.
“The story of your ceremonial ceremony will proceed as scheduled at the aristocratic house. don’t worry.”
The prince wiggled his chin slightly.
Just before the council meeting of the Great Nobility of Lister was held, a confrontation between him and the Duke of Blanquere caused a small disturbance in the Imperial Palace.
Fortunately, the schedule has been postponed to tonight, not another day.
The reason Elizabeth was so talkative a while ago was because she hoped that her friend would not be nervous before the confrontation with the aristocrat.
Lister’s throne was strong and no one doubted the prince’s legitimacy.
Even getting his crown prince’s approval from the nobility was a nominal procedure.
From a very young age, Cedric was a man who had a hard time playing ‘The Perfect Prince’.
But that didn’t reduce the burden he felt.
Aurelie stared blankly at the young man who was only twenty-four.
“The Duchess of Blanquer doesn’t seem like a good match for you, is it okay?”
It was a slightly worried voice.
Robert Blanquer was an excellent wizard, although he was often referred to as an idiot in social circles.
He was a rank 8, one step higher than the 7th grade wizard Cedric, and the prince was absolutely at a disadvantage for him in terms of attributes.
He opened his mouth softly.
“I will save my life.”
“I am also your mother’s son.”
Aurelie laughed out loud. After this, the duel was now only the two of them.
She turned the topic without saying anything else.
“How is your body?”
“…you can’t be perfect with a sword.”
The cardinal nodded slowly.
As expected, the cracks in the ‘vessel’ itself were difficult to cover cleanly even with fresh water.
It was rare for the prince to suffer from ether depletion after obtaining the Hye Gum, but he did not enjoy the best condition either.
What Hyegum supplemented for him was not pure ether, but ether with fire properties.
The paladin’s original hunger was never resolved by his own strength.
It was natural for him to give preference to the pure ether he obtained from the priest.
“Have you not changed into ‘Sady’?”
The prince frowned slightly at the meaningful question.
There was only one person who distinguished his youthful appearance as Sadie. But just…
“I also knew about the prince’s misunderstanding. really funny kid Are you well now?”
The prince shut his mouth.
Since the party has been pretending not to know since the ‘winner celebration’, I couldn’t figure out where to start and how to tell the story that the misunderstanding has not been resolved.
He eventually turned to delivering the necessary information.
“I deliberately drained the ether from my body and then experimented with dropping the hyacinth from me.”
“yes.”
“Then he turned into a child.”
“Oh.”
The cardinal’s beige eyes turned round.
She thought for a moment, then looked at him and tilted her head.
“That means you can take on the form of a child at will. Because if you hold the sword, your body won’t shrink. right?”
The prince silently buried his lips in Sakkaman’s own coffee.
I had never thought of it that way.
However, it was difficult to refute it because the value of its use was taken into account.
