"--Even before that struggle for the succession to the throne, the kingdom of Fairytorov had been experiencing calamities such as crop failures and thunderstorms. The situation had continued for some time after the High Priestess took over a godchild named Alice. It continued long after Ran was gone, you know. Because of that, the Kingdom of Fairytorov was busy dealing with the situation. It was in the midst of all this that the king of the Kingdom of Fairytorov died."
A disaster had occurred. And the Kingdom of Fairytorov was busy dealing with it. And then the king died.
Mr. Sadda tells us.
The kingdom of Fairytorov first had three princes and five princesses. The first prince was appointed as the crown prince, and if the king had not died, the crown prince would have become king in order and there would have been no civil war. However, at the time of the king's death, the third prince accused the godson, whom the state was protecting, of being a fake. And that the reason the king, his father, was dead was because he had protected a fake child. And he told them that the reason the plagues were happening was because they were protecting a fake child."
He said, "Well, you make such an accusation? Oh, Lelunda, you don't have to look like that. It is not your fault. The country suffered crop failure partly because you left the country, but as for the civil war, I think the third prince gave that reason in order to drag the crown prince down.
Mr. Lan, sensing that I was worried that the civil war might have been caused by me, said this to reassure me.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your car is to make sure that it is a good one. I think I have to be careful not to be used as a reason to cause something like that because I have decided to live my life as a Kamiko.
Even if I didn't have any bad intentions, there would be people who would use my status as a godchild as a reason to do something like that.
I think that I should not worry about it, Lelunda-san. The fact that the king is dead has nothing to do with the godson. So, well, the third prince told me that the king knew he was a fake and had colluded with the temple to create a being called the Divine Son. Because of his position as the third prince, did he not have a grasp of the real Godson, or did he just want the throne, regardless of where the real Godson was? We do not have a grasp on that here. Be that as it may, the third prince said that it was God's wrath that caused the plagues and the king's death. The crown prince and the second prince knew what the king was up to, but they kept quiet about it for their own personal gain. That is why he said he was not qualified to be king and that he would be king himself."
"...... In the end, the third prince just wanted to be king. He didn't care whether the godson was fake or real. Still, even if he wanted to be king, I wouldn't want him to use Lelunda as a reason to do so. ......
"......What happened to your sisters?"
I said what was on my mind.
I did not say they were my family. Because to me, they were not family, even though they were related by blood. But they were not strangers. They were not important to me, but they were not people that I could dismiss as unimportant either.
Unfortunately, I don't know the current whereabouts of your parents. They seem to have escaped during the turmoil of the civil war. I think they are probably somewhere in a fragile state. As for his mother, she was ill.
Is that so?"
'Yes. This was also the reason why there were rumors in the temple that Alice might not be the divine child. The third prince was able to make the accusation because there were many people in the temple who suspected that Alice might not be the divine child.
The third prince was accused of being a godchild by many people inside the Great Temple. She is under the protection of Princess Ninaev, the fifth princess of the Kingdom of Fairytorov.
Princess?
Yes, the fifth princess. The fifth princess, right? She was driven to the frontier after Ran left, admonishing Alice. The collapse of the kingdom of Fairytorov was a problem that the Venetian Chamber of Commerce wanted to do something about, so we contacted Nynaev-sama. It seems that Master Nynaev had a hunch that Alice was not a child of God. So when the civil war broke out, he acted against putting everything on a little girl."
We don't know her parents. My sister is alive.
I didn't feel sad about my parents. I think I've divided them in my mind. I was a little relieved about my sister. If I have to choose whether I want to see her or not, I don't care either way. But I guess I still recognize that my sister is special to me, even though she is not family.
When I was in the village where I was born and raised, she was not special to me, but she was always special to me. That feeling still remains in my heart.
I thought it would be nice if Ninaev-sama became king, and I even made a proposal, but it was rejected."
'...... Sadda, what are you doing?'
He said, "Ran, please don't look at me like that. I was thinking that Ninaev-sama could be the king because he was the one who was working to save the country from being blamed entirely on a fake who cheated on his godson, and not just on the young child.
'That's true, but ....... So, what is Alice doing now?"
'Master Ninaev supported the Dauphin and returned to the frontier after the civil war subsided. He took Alice with him. I heard from the members of the Chamber of Commerce that after the civil war, he seemed to realize that he was not special and was trying to change. However, I haven't directly confronted Alice or Ninaev-sama, so I've heard this story through others."
The princess rescued and protected her sister, Sadda told me.
