2 [2] Portrait of the King and the Princess

Harold, now king, was brought to life in this world as the bastard of the former king.

No son was born between Harold's father and his righteous wife. Inevitably, a grain of Harold born with his mistress was raised as a real child, at which point a great crack ran between the neighboring country and the prosperous church, which is the national religion.

The Prospero Church did not tolerate anything other than monogamy, nor did it recognise Harold, an extramarital child, as its rightful successor.

Still, it continued to search for the path of reconciliation against the backdrop of differences in national power and powerful military power compared to neighbouring countries, and did not develop into decisive divisions or wars in my father's generation.

Harold was the son of a mistress, but the mistress was formerly a courtesan of the faction of the righteous queen, and a woman in a position that was easily accepted by the nobles.

He was taken over by the righteous queen and raised like a real child, he was raised a prince at the age of five, and a few years later he had also entered into an engagement with his cousin, the “pureblood” of the same kingship.

In other words, until my father's generation, it was believed that beings born like Harold would be cleaned up as exceptions and that defects caused by lineage would be cured by the next generation of marriages.

But Harold was unable to have a son with Marguerite, his cousin and righteous queen.

Marguerite, who had been pregnant several times in her marriage, continued to suffer from miscarriages and premature childbirth. In doing so, the fertility itself became a difficult body.

The Lady Dowager even attempted suicide because Harold could marry again if she died.

The doctrine of the Prospero Church prohibits divorce, but of course suicide. It was more of an attempt on my part to sin than to make Harold violate the prohibition of estrangement.

Harold felt sorry for the righteous queen, and at the same time felt a grumpy fear.

What is the power to shake so unblessed by a child?

Harold is the head of an unshakeable nation, always dedicated to his duties and fulfilling his responsibilities as a monarch. Marguerite should be in a solid position as the lady master of that nation.

Marguerite, a cousin and raised from an early age, had feelings as a family.

But after experiencing his last stillbirth, the words that cried Marguerite leaked to Harold beat him down quite a bit.

- I wanted to save you.

She wanted to redeem the blood of sin that flowed in her husband's half with the pure blood of the kings that flowed in her body.

That is Marguerite's justice, which means that Harold will continue to be treated as an unfortunate child of sin, as she puts it, as long as he continues to engage with Marguerite's native landlocked neighbors and national churches.

The fact was enough to make him decide to separate himself from the old forces.

"The time has already ripened. Not yet, independent of the Prospero Church, which does not recognize me as its official monarch, set up a new Church in this land '.

Harold, of course, paid due attention to the division of doctrine.

Though the King himself converted to a newly ordained state religion, he heard Marguerite's assertion that the enormous subsidies to the Prospero Church would not be cut off immediately and that he would never want to convert again.

Marguerite and Harold may no longer be considered as amicable couples as they were before, but they still felt like brothers and sisters and did not change the aspect of respecting each other as a family.

As allies of this country, the two were in harmony, sometimes with doctrinal and political facets of conflict, but without the two wheels of a royal family that made great strides in reconciling with the ground in Harold's generation.

Marguerite herself, the righteous queen, was the first to have a mistress for Harold.

She summoned a noble daughter from her home and ostensibly forced Harold to serve her as her own maid.

If I still couldn't have a middle-child, the next I offered Harold a samurai who served Marguerite for years and other daughters around me.

She craved traces inheriting only the blue blood of the aristocracy, as usual.

The local nobles, who were not silent on it, also began to raise their blood daughters to the royal palace to compete with Marguerite.

Marguerite went on to advise Harold not to pet his daughters, all of them in tears. I could have said a plea.

Not intentionally. While the Royal Palace presented Harlem's appearance, Harold had finally plugged into the Thirty Ways without benefiting a single healthy child.

It is also impossible, even though it was diluted by the blood of his biological mother, that the royal lineage boiled down in a close marriage with Harold is colorful.

If only one child, healthy and stubborn, could have a boy who would succeed him if possible, he wouldn't want any more.

It was around that time that Berta Kasha, the daughter of a luxury merchant in a trading city, was examined.

While the Kasha clan has made enormous fortunes with generations of business talent, it does not want any authority over the royal family, nor does it serve as a clerk.

Not much was known about the Kasha clan's insistence on setting up in a distant trading city in the Wang capital.

Coming to the Wang capital as a messenger is like a shriveled, still very difficult to deal with old hiding only, the Lord does not even lean on for generations.

Kasha finally took action against the royal family.

It was also as important as the mountains moved. Reconciliation with domestic luxuries is indispensable in the future as far away from the authority of neighbouring countries.

Moreover, the Kasha clan said they would send their current lord's maiden, Princess Berta.

I couldn't even put him in the royal palace as a samurai or a lady officer, even on the pre-building as he had been on the boulder. In Parliament, extremists even gave an opinion as to whether to abolish Marguerite and welcome her as the righteous queen.

Though Harold had withdrawn from it, as a painful compromise, he offered to welcome her with the treatment of the Second Lady. It was also a moment of complete disobedience at last to the teachings of the abandoned state religion.

I could not put the Kasha women in cold blood.

That was true of the treatment itself, and Harold had no other hand than his daughter, who had been offered to her as Marguerite pleaded, but had to marry Berta Kasha in the actual sense to the boulder.

Fortunately, she was a late marriage as an unmarried daughter and a calm princess around the age of twenty.

Berta Kasha was smart, and someone who could behave consciously with a good understanding of the atmosphere within the royal palace, his position, and the opposing swirling royal family.

He was one impeccable princess as the daughter of a great nobleman.

If she and I had met instead of this kind of marriage, Harold would have honestly felt Berta was the preferred woman.

However, what was unexpected was that Berta Kasha was pregnant sooner or later than to deflect Marguerite's dissatisfaction with Harold's welcome to the Queen.

Of course, Harold was also thinking of the possibility that any of them would actually treat her as queen and give birth to a real son with the blood of the Petra.

But that was not at least an early prospect of marriage, and given her relationship with Marguerite the Queen, she only went to Berta Kasha three days after her marriage.

In a situation that seemed more distracted than the Queen herself by the movements of the nobles and domestic adjustments caused by welcoming the Queen, until she heard the report of her birth control, so much so that she was driven to the corner of her head.

I was alarmed because nearly fifteen years after I first married Marguerite and joined her, Harold had long and painful feelings for his child.

I could not imagine that the act of being a child, in just a few degrees, would lead directly to the birth control, etc.
