Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Chapter 011: Garden Discussion

"They don't deserve pity" Alice said of the book she read. Anna who heard him asked, "Why does the Princess think so?"

"It was because they had been given a warning," Alice replied straightforwardly, "But they instead shut themselves away from the warning."

"Hm, that. As human beings who are endowed with reason, we should be able to use the facilities of thinking it as well as possible" Anna said with a happy smile on her face. In the past, he could understand Alice's reading at the age of 12 years. That is because the language used is different from the existing local language.

"It's easy to read the interpretation" Alice replied lightly. Anna smiled and remarked, "Even if that was her interpretation, children of the Princess' age would still have trouble understanding it."

"really? But, I heard there are many children who have understood this book at a younger age than me," Alice could not believe.

"Haha.they are magical children," Anna said with a small laugh looking at Alice's serious expression.

"What are you talking about?" Antonio was finally interested in getting into their conversation. Since then, he only heard and noticed the look on Alice's face that changed as the chapters he read changed.

"The future of man" said Alice briefly

"The future?" Antonio wondered not to understand. Alice nodded, then explained, "The future of men who deny the verses of God."

"It has been prepared for them a blazing fire" continued Alice seriously, "And that's as bad as the place back."

"How are you sure?" antonio asked considering his theological lessons. Anyway, that sounds dubious to him. He could not believe what he had never seen.

"Because I've seen signs of God's power and my instincts say so," explained Alice without hesitation, “I studied her knowledge so that I knew and was sure of what I believed.”

"Instincts?" Antonio tried to digest his point. Alice nodded again, "Right! Basically, instinctively man believes in the existence of Almighty God. In fact, even atheists will ask the God he desires when his life is threatened."

"Ah .. I see," Antonio nodded in understanding, "But what are the signs of God you see?"

"The sky," Alice replied, "Have you ever noticed the sky? Is not the sky very firm without flaws. What do you think, something of that size no one creates and preserves, while human cities alone are unlikely to arise on their own? Mountains and oceans too. Didn't everyone create it?"

"Is that a natural event?" Antonio refuted.

"Really! It is a natural mechanism. This nature moves according to the law that applies," Alice replied steadily, "Didn't every law of nature have to govern it?"

"What do you mean?" Antonio still doesn't understand. He was still trying to digest every word of his fiancee.

"Humans have learned the mechanisms or laws of nature" Alice begins again, "They make use of the laws of nature and adapt themselves in such a way as to their benefit. If Tony already understood this fact, do you still doubt that those laws have been governed by Almighty God?"

"Okay, I get it," Antonio smiled in satisfaction. He managed to chat and discuss quite casually with Alice, "Let's hear about the human future you just said."

"Hm? Are you interested in that?" alice asked doubtfully. It was unexpected that the proud child who was a few days ago had been very polite now. His complaint to Queen Clara may have been quite efficacious.

"Yes, explain it!" antonio said with a hopeful smile on his face. Alice replied, "Then let Anna explain it."

"Eh!?" Antonio looked disappointed.

"It seems, His Highness the Crown Prince wants the Princess herself to explain it," Anna said.

"That's right!" reply Antonio who then remembered with his boring theological teachers.

"Huh..," Anna sighed in resignation, "Alright then. We will discuss the fate of those who close themselves to their Lord."

Anna then chanted a verse that Antonio did not understand. But, he still heard it because it was so melodious. What if Alice reads it?

"The disbelievers will be burned in hell and that's as bad as a place to return to," Anna began to explain, "When they are thrown into it, they will hear the sounds of screams while the hell is boiling burning them."

"Hell was about to explode with so much vengeance upon them," Anna paused, "Every time thrown into it a group of disbelievers, asking them the guards of hell,

‘Not come to you warner?’

They replied, ‘True, we have come to the warner and we deny it and we say, ‘Not has the Lord sent down anything, indeed you are nothing but a real error.'

In this alenia, the Lord explains his justice," said Anna explaining her interpretation, "If you notice, if you notice, this conversation between the guards and the inhabitants of hell shows that God will not punish His servant unless He has given him a warning. You understand?"

Alice and Antonio nodded in unison. Snack and tea had just been brewed to them. Anna invited the two to listen while eating the snack.

"What happens next?" asked Antonio curiously.

"After that, they showed their regret," Anna explained continuing, "They said, saying,

‘If we had heard or thought about it, we would not have been among the inhabitants of this blazing hell.’

They confess their sins. So the destruction was for the inhabitants of hell," Anna went back silent for a moment to make sure both of her disciples were paying proper attention. Both of them were still paying attention even though Alice seemed to have looked exhausted.

Alice's eyes closed for a moment, then opened again. Anna just smiled to see it. He's still 10 years old. Moreover, he had actually understood that verse before.

"Do you know why the punishment for disbelievers is so severe?" ask Anna to test.

"Of course it is because they foolishly deny Almighty God," Alice replied, and continued by Antonio, "Yes, even against the king or ruler of a kingdom alone the punishment is very heavy, and so on, especially if you deny God the Owner of the universe."

"That's right! Then, I don't need to repeat it again" Anna said happily. He saw King Claudius and Duke vi Alverio. So, he finished his impromptu lecture.

"I heard that you two are studying in this garden" King Claudius said kindly. Behind him, Duke vi Alverio followed. His face looked increasingly tired, but he covered it with a warm, shady smile.

"Mr Princess looked tired," King Claudius noticed the sleepy Alice.

"Not as tired as Your Majesty and Father," said Alice suddenly refreshed from her sleepiness. King Claudius chuckled in recalling his heaps of duties, "We are different, son. When you grow up, you'll feel it too."

"Prince too?" alice asked, not fair. He stared at Antonio flat until he had misfocused him. The young prince's face slightly reddened looking at Alice who suddenly noticed him.

"Yes, of course," said King Claudius, "You will work together. Now, you don't have to force yourself. You can rest first."

"Then I say goodbye to go home, Uncle," said Alice and saluted the king. He left Ruby Palace. On the way, he slept in Anna's lap. Her sleep is very good. He looked more like a boy his age at the time.
