Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Discussion of Scholar Girls

"Safety of Her Majesty Queen el Vierum" the compact scholarly girls greet Queen Clara who today conducts a special review at the Pearl Palace. Despite receiving her report, Queen Clara was still curious about the girls Alice chose. He remembers his time being like them. It feels tense when meeting a figure so tall as the queen used to be. Today, he himself occupies that position.

"To you, too, is salvation" replied Queen Clara. He gave a warm smile to the five girls in front of him. The best princesses in the kingdom exuded a distinctive charisma and authority except for one person.

Mainne. Ordinary girl who does research on high quality plant based paper. The girl studied from a far-off country in the east. His ability to learn languages is very high.

"Alice, the right decision places him in this Pearl Palace. He will be a reliable companion" in Queen Clara's mind. He then said to the girls, "Because you've been here for a few days, you must have received a certain direction, right?"

"Right, Your Majesty," replied Akilla van Ryvat, Alice's distant cousin. She is the girl who will study administrative affairs with Alice. A few days ago, he was shocked to see a mountain of parchment that Alice usually takes care of alone. She almost regretted being one of the scholarly girls in the Pearl Palace. Fortunately, the Florentine scholar explained that the task would not be his own.

"Alice must have told you to be casual and call her by name, right?" Queen Clara said kindly, "Just like Alice, as long as you're not in public, call me Aunt Clara."

"It's an honor for us" he said. They also toured the Pearl Palace complex. Queen Clara had many casual conversations with them. He recounted his experiences while in the Pearl Palace first.

"It's been over a week, hasn't it?" a long blonde girl recalled something, "Daughter Alice should be coming in a few days."

"yes too. To be honest, I was shocked when she decided to return to Duchy vi Alverio the day after welcoming you, "Queen Clara showed a sorry face. However, he knew Alice's feelings and reason for doing so. So he won't blame her later. "You're okay with that, right?"

"Of course, Your Majesty. We're fine." the blond girl is still not used to it. In his home, he even had to call his mother by title. So it was difficult for him to accept the queen's hospitality.

"Hm? Your name is Aristia de Clarence, right? Just relax. Call me aunt," admonished Queen Clara warmly. He also had trouble calling the Marchioness van Ryvat, his former queen, on casual calls. Only after a few reprimands could he get used to it. So he was familiar with the attitude of Count de Clarence's daughter.

"Well, Ba...," Aristia was a little nervous, "I mean, Aunt Clara."

"Good! That's how I want it," Queen Clara smiled happily. Now they had been in Aster Park, one of the gardens of the twin gardens in the Pearl Palace. A little tea party was held there. Beautiful snacks are placed on the table. Queen Clara invited the scholarly girls to discuss.

"I heard, the Pearl Palace is investing in orphanages on the outskirts of the capital," Queen Clara began the topic, "Akilla, how is it going?"

Akilla jerks. Who would have thought that he was called first. Even though he had prepared his heart, he still felt a little nervous just like his friends. On average they are under the age of 15. While that sounds great for a child their age, Alice's accomplishments make them seem like nothing.

"We were only able to start in one place three days ago," Akilla began his explanation. He should be able to show his talent in front of the queen. "With the census available, we will only be able to continue it a few more days after Alice returns."

"And the teachers for them, how do you handle it?" Queen Clara asked what came to her mind. He hadn't asked Alice that question yesterday.

"Alice said she would take the teachers from Duchy vi Alverio with her on her return," Akilla carefully composed her words so as not to offend Queen Clara, "Right now, this time, We focus on continuing the preparation of the facilities that the Pearl Palace has determined."

"So that's it? You certainly can't ask for elite teachers from among nobles like the Royal Academy," Queen Clara commented.

"Baginda... ah! I mean Aunt Clara," call a brunette girl. She is the girl who has high noble charisma. A member of the Vi Cornelia family, the equivalent of Alice, Rosemary vi Cornelia.

"Yes, Mary?" Queen Clara looked over. Duke vi Cornelia's daughter was the oldest of the scholarly girls. He's 15 years old. He reminded Queen Clara of her great niece, Derrick vi Alverio.

"Why should we give education to the common people?" ask Rosemary with a bow. He knew that maybe his question offended the queen who was known to the people. However, he only wanted to satisfy his curiosity, "Aren't we enough to direct them to hone their hereditary skills to prosper the kingdom?"

"That's because they deserve it" replied Queen Clara casually. Rosemary watched carefully the explanation of the number one woman of the kingdom. He must have learned a lesson from her.

"Among those people there were unexpected adiratna-adiratna like Mainne," Queen Clara turned to Mainne who had only bowed since. "They are one of the foundations of the kingdom other than government and territory. Noblemen cannot live without the people. So we should pay close attention to them."

"In addition, it could also have a surveillance function" Queen Clara continued. This time he stared at a silver-haired girl who was unique in the kingdom. The girl listened quietly since. She was the daughter of the de Ernest family, Aria de Ernest. One of the families who has a close relationship with the late Duchess Evianna.

"The education will protect the people from ideologies that might threaten the kingdom" Queen Clara gave a moment's pause. He sipped his tea before continuing, "So there's no reason to refuse."

"Oh yeah, Mainne," call Queen Clara. The girl who was called immediately straightened her head. The tea that was brewed for him was still full. He had not touched her since.

"How's your paper progress?" ask Queen Clara straight to the point.

"We still continue to conduct a review in this regard, Your Majesty," Mainne replied still unable to cross the boundaries of her status. "We have compiled a record of his research. The plan, the Princess will wake up the laboratory in the Pearl Palace later. So we'll be resuming our research as soon as possible."

"Good! I really didn't expect it," Queen Clara stroked the ordinary girl's hair warmly, "You have good communication skills. Alice doesn't hesitate to invite you."

Mainne blushed.

...***...

"Deliver this letter to Mainne" said an old, burly man. He was a guard in a port city south of the Kingdom of el Vierum. Her only child was so intelligent that it received the attention of a professor at the Royal Academy. Now her daughter even gets the attention of Crown Princess el Vierum.

"We cannot allow Marianna City to continue like this," the old guard gave a letter to a young man, "The sound of the Pearl Istaan had a great influence on the government. Let the crown princess and her queen speak for us. Mainne could have delivered it to him."

Kidnapping, deprivation, slavery, and many other scandals have plagued the strategic city of Marianna. The arbitrariness of the city lord deeply troubled the residents. No one dared to comment because behind the new leader, there was a large noble family and robbers that ruled the seas.
