Dusk is usually when most people will flock to the bar, but, today, everyone is heading to the newly built church. I know the church is new, but I feel there is a bigger reason for this.
As I headed for the church, among the many people, I saw many nobles and influential people in their carriages or walking with their guards, including the president of a large corporation and the village chief, he said, moving towards the church. There are also ordinary people like me. I especially noticed the outsiders from the capital among the crowd.
I was able to arrive early and get a seat inside, as I lived rather close to the new church. The new chapel was large, but, even with its large size, it could not accommodate everyone who came to see what would happen. There were people looking from the windows and the doors were left open to allow people who could not find a seat in the chapel to see the event.
The statement from the Church that our landlords are excluded from the Church is difficult to swallow and makes everyone, including me, anxious about the future. I heard that today sir will explain why they are ostracized, so many of us have come to listen.
There is another reason why people are here: rumors of orphans in nearby orphanages. Rumor has it that the master protected the orphans from slave traders and bought the old church from them to provide shelter for the orphans. I myself have met the orphans and their nanny, Miss Minae, because of my work as a merchant. When I heard those rumors, I went straight to see Miss Minae to confirm it. However, every time I went and called him, he was never there. I talked to Miss Minae and the children more often in the past, so when I heard the rumors, I felt anger at the slave merchant and sadness. I really believe it, because I understand that someone must have helped them, but whether our ruler did it or not is not good. My impression of the master is that they will not go so far as to help the children in the orphanage.
While thinking about these things, I saw a priest at the altar kneeling and praying to the God. At the same time, the sound of the pipe organ resounded and a beautiful melody began to be played. I felt my heart beating with its melody.
When the priest began his prayer, we all joined.
Shortly after, the sermon began.
“God loves all his children. God wants all his children to understand each other. By helping each other, one can live life with dignity, and by receiving the love of God, one can show humility and live with pride. God has taught all his children the value of the connection we have with others. "(Priest)
The gentle and friendly voice of the priest was heard throughout the chapel.
“However, God also helps those who are willing to repent for their sins. The God values all his children and gives forgiveness to those who repent and correct the wrongs they have committed. We as children of God must see with an unclear heart and judge what is evil and what is just. We must reach out to those who are honest and righteous and offer help to those who have done wrong. I pray for those who have committed sins to receive the love of God and make amends in their ways. "(Priest)
After the priest finished praying, the chapel became noisy and tense. Were these words aimed at the ruler of the empty land?
When the priest left the altar, we thought the ceremony would be over. A girl replaced him.
She wore a pure white dress with no decorations or designs. Instead of being called a dress, it was closer to the nun's habit. But, even while wearing a plain white dress, her figure was so beautiful that anyone would immediately fall in love with her.

"Hello everything . I thank you for coming to the opening ceremony of this new chapel. ”
Her voice was clear and, as she leaned over, she matched the picture of the perfect woman .. I felt like I had seen her somewhere before …
Who's the lady? Murmur ran to the entire audience. I also heard someone call him "Alice" .. as long as the voice came from a commoner like me.
As if he had heard our question, he answered.
“My name is Iris. Iris Lana Armelia's. I am the daughter of the Duke of Armelia and the acting ruler of this territory. ”
Once he named himself, there was a commotion .. Well, of course, there will be. This person was ostracized by the Church, so his presence in the new church was a big surprise.
Its sound, atmosphere, and tone were authoritative. He looked like a creature from the chapel itself. When he started talking, the voices and whispers stopped, except for the whispers of just a few people at the side.

“Fights we are rich and people follow the teachings of God wholeheartedly by treating each other with love. But not everyone accepts this teaching and not everyone can accept it because of the state of their environment. ”
He clasped his hands together in prayer and raised his voice slightly.
“I meet such people; they are orphans. These children were blessed for some time with a servant of the Gods who cared for them – a sister who taught them the teachings of the Gods and the world. But, as with all life, this dear servant of the God left this world and returned to our Holy Father. Because the land had not been paid and because no one visited the chapel anymore, the Church sold the land. The children were then left to fend for themselves. The people who bought the land were demons and rejected the teachings of the Holy Father. These children, who were innocent and unworthy of such cruel treatment, were left in the hands of those evil people. I know that many of you here know these children and can agree that they are all pure and wonderful. ”
Throughout the chapel, I can hear people saying things like, "I know them," "the kids are amazing," among other things. I also feel that way, because I know them well.
“That we have not paid attention to the circumstances of these children before is our sin, but having discovered their circumstances, I cannot turn a blind eye; the Teachings of our Holy Father oblige me to protect them. ”
While she was talking, she began to shed tears gently. The scene was now as if the Gods had painted it themselves.
“I don't want to repeat mistakes for not realizing their difficulties early. So, to keep them safe, I decided to build this new chapel. These boys are the key to our future – they realize my determination to keep the future so that everyone here is brilliant. The Church declares that my sin is the destruction of a church, but I do it to help these children and keep a bright future for all of us. Is that wrong? Should I abandon the most important teaching of the Holy Father that we help each other? Should I abandon the devil to corrupt the abandoned church? Will it be the right path to take? "
His tone suddenly became full of sadness and a mixture of other emotions. I felt my heart beating with his words. If what he says is true, then what is a sinner? If he were a sinner, then everyone in the world would be a sinner, right?

“I am only a humble and godly disciple of God .. However, I am also a ruler who must protect his people. Gods pay attention and give us the opportunity to improve ourselves, but these opportunities are meaningless if we do not reach out and capture them for happiness. God does not send us happiness but gives us the opportunity to pursue it. It all depends on our actions and willingness to act. Those who think that evil is inevitable and take part in evil behavior are wrong. Those who see evil and wrong but do not act are also wrong.
There are many people here who know the children, who treat them well, but are unaware of the problems they face – Even I did not see their dilemma until it was almost too late. I am just an individual; I have only two eyes, ears, hands, and feet, and there are only a few places that this foot can go through or things that I can hold. However, I have people who support me as master and I have support from you, he said, the children of the Gods that allowed me to reach out to me further and help those in even the most remote places. I'm begging you: help me protect you. Help me protect the weak and help those in even the darkest places. Help me give those people a richer and healthier life. Please ... Give me your strength. ”
As he ended his speech, a few applause echoed throughout the room and grew until a roaring applause. I could even hear the clapping from outside.
I feel that, if I follow this person, we can live a better life. If this man, then, no matter who his enemy is, he will pull us through the hard times. I have no proof, but I feel this in my heart. The atmosphere of the chapel became much better, and I felt there was hope in the air.
“... I bless you the blessing of our Holy Father. "(Priest)
The priest blessed the landlord and, as he knelt to receive his blessing, the priest placed his hand on his head. He then stood up and turned to face us with a smile.
I thought from the bottom of my heart that I was glad I came and caught a glimpse of it.
