"Finally we will return to the region" Alice exclaimed in relief. He had been in the capital for over a month to prepare for the event at the Pearl Palace. After he returned to the region, Queen Clara who would represent him took care of the Pearl Palace. The palace will be occupied by selected girls from the Book Surgical Party. They will start their research and studies there.
"You look very happy with that," Anna observed him shady. Just this afternoon, he accepted his new friends from the academy. Tomorrow morning, he will already be going to Duchy vi Alverio for a short vacation. After two weeks, she will return to learn to be the queen of the future.
"of course! Duchy vi Alverio is more comfortable and quiet than the capital," Alice replied. He was wearing a casual dress that remained closed guarding his honor. After this, he would have an event with the girls living in his palace.
"Mr Princess, dinner is ready" a servant reported. Alice nodded and immediately went down to the dining room. Five girls were waiting for him to come. The Florentine scholar was also there to be the guardian of the scholarly maidens.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting" Alice said.
"It's no problem, Princess. We also just arrived" said a white-hooded girl. The girl's face was as beautiful as a fairy with her smile. His eyes were calm showing wisdom. The aura he emitted was warm bringing calmness. He is still related to Alice of the Van Ryvat Family.
"We're not in public" Alice was about to give her permission, "So Akilla and the others call me Alice."
"I still won't be able to, Princess," Mainne bowed. He was the only elected citizen. The status is very different from Alice.
"Just relax," Alice said with a friendly smile, "When you enter this palace, you have a great chance to become a royal official in the future."
"Right, you should also start improving etiquette in social circles," said a brown-haired and bumpy noble girl. His tone was firm. His eyes are sharp. His figure was full of honor and pride. She said confidently, "We will be the right hand of the queen in the future. Don't let us humiliate him in front of people."
"That's how it is, Mainne," Alice disagrees less, but not bad either. There are still many winding roads to go. For anyone, most girls who have passed the selection of the Princess at the Pearl Palace will be an important figure for the kingdom like Queen Clara. "So get used to yourself from now on. You've been considered equal to the other noble ladies."
"Well, Princess," said Mainne still unable to take a relaxed attitude.
"Tomorrow I will return to Duchy vi Alverio for two weeks" Alice said after dinner. "Even if I'm not here, I hope you can start your training and research. Madam Florence, I beg you for help."
"Well, Princess," the scholar of Florence agreed.
"All right, you can rest immediately" Alice exclaimed as soon as all the messages were delivered, "As I have said, just relax. If there is a need, you can ask the servants. I'll go first."
Every scholarly girl brought their own servants except Mainne. He was given a servant from the palace to serve him. He is still very shy and prefers to do all his own needs. After all, she was a wise and independent girl.
"Mr Princess, why are you alone here?" mainne asked when she found Alice sitting on a garden saung with a dim lantern. Earlier, he heard a melodious chant like a verse. It was beautiful even though he did not understand its meaning.
"Mainne's? Didn't I tell you to be relaxed?" ask Alice without looking. He looked at the clear sky full of pearly stars. The rising full moon illuminated the surroundings. It's very beautiful and charming.
The night wind blew stroking the thick blanket that Alice was wearing. Her long hair danced happily. The moonlight hit his face. Her red eyes that were as pretty as ruby conveyed longing.
"Please forgive me, I'm still not used to it" Mainne said.
"It's okay," Alice smiled kindly. It is completely different for those closest to it. "I was just looking at the stars. Do you want to see it too?"
"Em..well, all right," Mainne said nervously and sat down next to Alice. He remembered that beautiful chant. There's no one here but Alice. So it must be the princess who chanted it.
"Mr Princess, is that the song you just chanted?" mainne asked, silent.
"Chanting? I'm not singing" Alice denied. He looked at Mainne's face now. The ordinary girl had a face that was not inferior to the nobles. His eyes were dark brown in harmony with his back hair.
"If what you mean is what I read just now," explained Alice, "then it's the '30 saving verses' from the scriptures."
"But I've never heard anything like it from a temple envoy" Mainne recalled. The language Alice spoke was completely different. It is incomprehensible but calming.
"Of course, it won't, '" Alice grabbed the blanket she was wearing. The night is getting late and the weather is getting colder. "The temple has changed the true content of the book. They hide the rules they hate and broadcast the ones they like. Even they twist their tongues to manipulate the contents of that scripture."
"really? But instead of His Majesty and the royal family supporting them," Mainne recalled a festive religious festival a few months ago in her hometown.
"So, that's because the adherents of the temple teachings are very many and influential," explained Alice, "So the royal family can not immediately disturb him. Especially since the ascension of King Rumahinius who also started the relationship of the royal family with the witches."
"King Houseinius? The king who was friendly with the owner of the first Witch Tower?" mainne presumption. The king's name is very famous. People say he is a revolutionary king.
"Yes!" answer Alice. His gaze then showed sadness and disappointment to his ancestors. Although history records him as a great hero, the truth shows that he was a great traitor.
It was the king who began the edicts with the temple messengers. He who restricts the movement of the adherents of monotheism purely because it offends his power. From then on the influence of pure monotheism declined.
"Mr Princess, I am interested in the pure teachings of monotheism" Mainne said with a spirit of knowledge, "But it seems like it uses a different language to the royal language. Does the princess understand that?"
"Sure," said Alice and explained the details of the meaning of each verse she read, "I have explained to you the power of Almighty God which encompasses the kingdoms of heaven and earth. Then the creation of seven heavens layered without the slightest flaw. So shall the torment of those who disbelieve in their Lord and their contrition in the Hereafter."
"This verse explains the recompense of those who believe and fear God even though they do not see Him" explained Alice after a short pause earlier, "They will receive forgiveness and a great reward, which is heaven."
"I see," Mainne said after receiving Alice's explanation, "The signs of God are absolutely clear. How did I not realize it that long? I understand the feelings of those who believe. They are very intelligent to see His signs."
"Thank God, then," said Alice happily, "Actually there is much more to explain. The night is getting late, let's rest first. Lookie! Anna's sister is approaching us."
"Miss, why haven't you come back yet?" anna said anxiously as soon as she reached the front of the saung, "Oh, there's Miss Mainne as well."
"Please call me Mainne, Madam," said Mainne in surprise, "I'm far from worthy."
"Alright then," said Anna agreeing, "Miss, Mainne, let's hurry back and rest."
"Alright, sister," Alice immediately stood up from her seat and stepped in followed by Mainne and Anna. His mind wandered far into his future.
He wondered how religious understanding the crown prince had. If their beliefs were different, then in the future they would never be united forever. It would be very bad even if Alice wanted to fight for the throne. I don't know how many families will support it with a pure understanding of monotheism.
"The crown prince didn't reject my explanation in the garden back then" Alice muttered as she arrived in the room. He lay facing the dark ceiling of the room. The oil lights are off. He was getting stuck in his mind.
"I still have a chance to guide the crown prince," Alice said confidently, "I can definitely guide him and we will join together to restore this kingdom to its former glory."
The little girl also closed her eyes. The future that awaits him is not simple. Somehow fate will usher them in, only God knows.
note:
Even the author did not have a clear picture of Alice and Alichia's continuation. How is Alice with Antonio? Or when and how did Alichia appear? The author simply lets this heart write and his fingers type. Everything flows by itself.
Please pray for all. Hopefully this novel can continue to be written and broadcast goodness.
