genius prince vol 8: chapter 12

Chapter 3 Those who cause the storm

The ancient city of Lucian. It is a city located in the center of the western part of the continent. It is said that the founder of the levetian religion, levetia received a pilgrimage revelation from God here. Following his revelation, Levettia made a round-the-continent journey and built the city of Lucian with his followers, making it the center of the Levettian religion.

The heart of the western part of the continent, both geographically and religiously. That is Lucian. its surroundings do not belong to any country, but are treated as the direct jurisdiction of the religion of Leveteanism.

"-But the cityscape is unexpectedly normal."

Inside the slow carriage, Ninym muttered, looking out from the window. It is Wayne who will respond to it.

"Well, it's a bit old-fashioned, but it feels like a typical western city."

But that's not unreasonable. Lucianis the foundation of western urban design. In other words, it is not similar to other western cities, but other cities imitate Lucian.

"Instead, don't you feel the atmosphere of the city is different."

"Yeah. Somehow quiet, solemn ... There are quite a few people, but most of them are neat circles.

They're wearing tutus, and they seem very devout. "

A circle is a symbolic item that the Levetean faithful wear around their necks. It is mainly made of metal and shaped like two palm-sized circles joined together, with one circle representing the perfection of God and the other circle representing the entire continent where the Leveteans made their pilgrimage.

" It seems that there are not many crops growing around here, and if we don't make it easier for people to come and go, no matter how much it is a center of faith, it will dry up."

" As I recall, most of the western countries have a road that connects directly to here in lucian. right?"

"It seems that crops don't grow much around here. If we don't make it easier for people to come and go, it will dry up, even though it is a center of faith."

Wayne looks out the window at the people who appear to be pilgrims.

"Even so, if i keep the circle around my neck, my shoulders will be stiff, but I'll do it well."

"I'll tell you, will Wayne wear it properly at the Holy Meeting?"

"... Do you have any lightweight wooden ones?"

"It wouldn't look good for a prince to wear one of those, would it?”

Well, that's right, while I'm wondering, the carriage arrives at the center of lucian. There is a large square and a huge building that looks like it's glaring at it. The name of the building is the Holy King's Office. At the heart of the levetian religion, the solemn and profound appearance of outstanding masonry techniques gives the viewer an indescribable awe. Even a palace in a country will be hazy in the face of this majesty.

"Now, i say hello to lair of demon. Ninym, along with Franya and others, go ahead to the accommodations that are available."

It is the head temple of Levetia religion. Even though she has dyed black hair, it is difficult for Fulham people to go in.

"Be careful, Wayne"

" If push comes to shove, I'll set it on fire and get the hell out of there."

Wayne breaks up with Ninym and gets off the carriage. he stepped into the Holy King's Office with several escorts.

(... this is also)

The atmosphere inside the Holy Office was truly solemn. No gold or silver is affixed, and no gorgeous ornaments are displayed. The high ceiling, which can be as tall as several  people, and the cold stone walls that extend far away are somewhat unrealistic, and even give the illusion of being lost in another world.

There are also people who come and go there. The simple monastic garb, straight back, and silent walk are the very norms of the Levitical faith. At the same time, however, they lack a human touch and seem to be life-size dolls in motion.

(It seems that lair of demon is no longer a funny story)

Was this the case from the beginning, or was it influenced by the rulers here in the present generation? Whatever the case may be, I have just learned that I need to be more careful...

"It's been a long time, His Highness the Crown Prince."

Looking towards the voice, standing there was a woman with an attendant

She is a beautiful woman. Her hair filled with her mysterious brilliance and her eyes that make you feel the abyss. Her appearance, which combines the luster of her mysterious age with the freshness of a kid, does not seem to be a product of the human world.

" What a ...... I am very grateful to be greeted by Her Highness, Cardomeria herself."

Cardomeria, Director of the levetian Evangelical Bureau. She is a real female master who sits next to the Holy saint as a woman. she was standing in front of Wayne now.

" Her Highness is a guest of honor who has accepted our invitation. It is only natural.

Cardomeria smiles gently. Each of her smiles, gazes, and actions has a bewitching and horrifying character that is not like a priest.

" I remember that this is Prince Wayne's first visit to lucian, isn't it? What do you think? What do you think of this ancient city?”

"As expected, there is only the knees of the Levetian religion, and it makes you feel the solemn and clean air."

"Well, you might feel that way when you come from the outside, but even this is more softening than usual. It seems that the people are also floating because the holy meeting is held in Lushan for the first time in a long time."

"Is that it? If I go to Lucian, I'll be suffocated."

"I'm used to everything, Prince Wayne . Anyway, I will be scolded for rudeness if I stand around talking with the guests of honor any longer. This way, please. He is already waiting for you. "

It was not necessary to ask who that person was. Wayne, guided by Cardomeria, travels to the depths of the Holy Office with his escort.

" I am glad to see that you have not changed since I saw you last time Cardomeria."

"Thanks to you, I am fortunate to be able to spend my time in good health."

Records show that cardomeria is over 60 years old. However, if she looks only, she is in her thirties, no, she is in her twenties. There is a story of another person who inherited the name, but it's scary because she's more likely to just say that this person is a monster.

"Excuse me, but is it also the secret to good health?"

"Are you going to enjoy your days? Living a fulfilling life will eventually lead to maintaining youth and vitality."

"It doesn't seem like a levetian answer."

"Repressing yourself is not the only way to show loyalty to God. King Gruyere is a typical example."

"... I see, I'm convinced."

I can't help but nod when I was quoted by Gruyere's drum belly.

" What is it that you enjoy doing, by the way Cardomeria?"

"That is, of course, to guide the lost people."

Cardomeria said.

“I find it very fulfilling to see them walk away knowing where they need to go with my words.”

"....... If you have been guided by the Lady Caldomeria, you must be living a very happy life."

"Yes, I hope so."

There, the conversation was cut short for a moment. Only the sound of footsteps echoed coldly, as if symbolizing the air between the two parties. The next person to open her mouth was Cardomeria.

"By the way, His Highness seems to be a little taller."

"Is that so? Even after becoming regent, the burden is only increasing and i may be crushed and and become smaller!"
