94 27. Sister Stella

Ignorance of religion was one of Queen Berta's greatest political shortcomings.

However, it could hardly be said that it was indicative of her laziness.

Like many other southern people, she had a vague sense of rejection of religion.

It begins with the historical circumstances of the southern part of the country.

The south was originally a land pattern that had long been influenced by heathen culture since it was exposed to heathen invasion hundreds of years ago.

In other words, the dominant religion in the south was originally a pagan religion brought from beyond the desert, not the continental religion of Prospero.

However, more than a hundred years ago, the armies of the northern countries of the continent, backed by the Land Restoration Movement, drove the pagans away.

The conquering army persecuted the infidels, and the desert people disappeared again across the southern sea, leaving only the Petras who had been dyed by the pagan culture for many years.

It is not hard to imagine how the conquering army and the current dynasty, the conquest dynasty, oppressed the pagan faith in the south in the name of Prosperonism at the time.

Eventually, a group of pagan-dyed Petras fled south of the Great River, united against the flow of southern oppression - the ethnic divisions of the time that have been the source of the southern Petras to date.

The conquering forces used the religious name "ideological unity" of the peninsula, the territory of the country's Australian state, to continue the looting and clearing of the south during the series of battles.

The southern Petra ancestors used various conveniences to overcome the clashes in the muddy marshes that had characterized the religious war.

They first concealed their faith and pretended to follow the doctrine of Proselytism.

However, if it gradually became possible to target oppression by being labeled as a "hidden pagan", it became foolish to continue pretending to be a Prosperous, and the south chose instead to disguise itself from the context of the continental society, without the people of the Scripture.

He abandoned all beliefs in exchange for cutting the momentum of religious warfare from the conquest forces.

Of course, the conquest forces and the current dynasty from that time had to be broken for the convenience of the southern part of the country, also because of the fact that the two who were tired of continuing the era of miserable oppression managed to find a place to fall.

Perhaps the southern ancestors had initially simply played the role of mistrust as a prefect.

But as they pursued their generations, the people of the south who sang about the closed and rich landscape protected by the Great River gradually and truly forgot their faith.

Because faith became a species of mischievous struggle and persecution, which itself was dangerous and should only be avoided.

The paganism of the desert and the proselytism from the north were nothing but a culture that had originally flowed into the area.

There was no southern Petra to be faithful to God until the fate of the nation was at stake.

So they abandoned their faith, and the people of the south lived a hundred years of prosperity in the flowering tone of commercial culture.

Eventually, in the south, there were only ethnic memories of rejection of faith.

In other words, the fact that the south is a religious void is itself the end of a people who have followed a gloomy history, contrary to the foundation of the story of religious ignorance.

At last, however, Berta herself could not say the same.

As a contemporary queen, she needed to develop at least a sense of ownership.

The fear of faith controversy and the temptations of continental countries to use it.

In addition, there was an imminent circumstance that the faith of Louis' parents was still important in performing his baptism.

In order for Louis' baptism to succeed, it is necessary to incorporate the knowledge of the field that Berta is not the baptist himself.

It is fatal to be incapable of manoeuvring in times of emergency.

That's why, around the time of the transition to the capital, Berta gradually incorporated time for religious lectures into its daily routine.

Her lecturer was an old nun.

"Sister Stella has been a great religious man and has been a good speaker to me for many years."

Nice to meet you, Your Highness.

The Empress brought me a room, and Berta greeted the nun Stella for the first time.

"I am afraid that I will be the Queen's lecturer, but I will do my best in a short time. Thank you very much."

"Thank you, Sister."

From what I can see, in front of a Sister who is a devout religious man, it seems to me that Sister Stella would be a contemporary religious authority alongside the male Bishop of Austeria, given the thoughtful and secular circumstances.

Originally, even though there was a prefecture that if you become a priest, the gate where you were born would be irrelevant, many priests in the royal palace are noble children - second sons and three sons and later.

With that in mind, Sister Stella may have ties to the kingdom or the nobility of the Queen Dowager's native kingdom.

Berta had originally recognized that priests who could read and write were generally children of nobility, and that was not an understandable disassociation.

That's why Berta was initially quite ready for the Sister, who was the Queen Dowager's spokesman and probably friend.

It was also necessary to put up the face of the Queen Dowager who introduced her.

I thought I was trying to fix it.

Berta realized that her disbelief was something that could hide her eyebrows in the eyes of the pious, and she thought it would be bad enough to discourage religious lovers like Bishop Austaria and Sister Stella.

But Sister always treated her gently and gently, as if she even knew what was inside of Berta.

"May Her Highness be busy with the administration and with Prince Louis every day.Don't strain your elbows too much while you're here, so please relax. "

The lecture with her took place in a quiet chapel for the royal family, in the depths of the Eriueral Palace.

Sister always gave me sweets when she met her face in the lecture room at the royal chapel, treating Berta with a kind attitude that was more than the priest who was treating Louis.

"I never thought I'd get a study break at this age."

Belta smiled bitterly when she received the confectionery, but she didn't feel bad when she looked at the gentle expression of her sister.

"Fufu, no matter how old you are, you have to praise me when you work hard.Sometimes it's important to praise yourself. "

Even though she feels comfortable treating a grand child, she will certainly treat everyone as if she were her own.

No. Isn't that your own child?

Their doctrine that all men are equal sons of God.

"Yes, I'm glad to be praised."

Nevertheless, as queen, Berta was in a position to refrain from speaking of what was served outside.

Not to mention the lecture with the Sister was always a question between Belta and her alone.

If the maids had been by Berta as usual, they would have petitioned me for a subtle taste of poison, but they weren't here.

I had no choice but to accept the Sister's confectionery, but she spent the rest of her time without putting her hands on it, and she noticed it in several lectures.

Sister gently reached out to one of the confectioneries she had given to Berta to play the role of poison.

Belta was surprised, but if she was so cared for, there was no reason to refuse.

The unfamiliar northern confectionery I ate for the first time somehow tasted nostalgic.

It seems that the sweets that Sisters always prepare are traditionally made in women's convents.

Something like fluffy cotton confectionery or bread.

It seemed more rustic than sweet.

Since that day, it has been a pleasure for Belta to have a confectionery that Sisters can give me.

But eventually, I noticed that Berta was also better.

Isn't it a burden on the Sister to go out with Berta every time and taste the sweets little by little?

The Sisters were at least older than the Queen Dowager, and the women who lived in the doctrine of poverty would even have a thinner diet.

Eventually, Belta reached out to her before her in the next lecture to make sure Sister didn't have to poison her.

Although it was somewhat disqualified as a queen, Belta trusted her and wanted to give her back her care.

Next time, Sister looked at Belta with a little surprise.

After rounding her eyes, she gently smiled at Berta, deepening the wrinkles on the warped corners of her eyes.
