BXBX NOVEL 57 The Gray Clown.
This country is sick. As a child, I thought that was a big deal.
It\'s painful if you get sick. It was a mistake because it was something that everyone knew.
The country is sick. That means everyone gets sick. That\'s why I thought it was so hard.
"Nobody\'s gonna cure you?
I asked him that, but the answer never came back.
Bony hands like dead trees stroke his head. Hands like Oki that I don\'t feel I can rely on though.
\'I\'ll find out someday. Learn well by then and think carefully\'
It wasn\'t until a few years later that I understood Grandpa\'s words.
This country is sick. I hope the miracle of the past comes back, to such a disease.
Proceed lightly down the hallway to cross noses. No one can blame you. But the gaze that can be directed is the gaze itself that can be directed at the rest of us. Not at all. The same gaze as today, "he" walks down the hall laughing inside, with his nose.
A cave of wisdom that houses a number of materials and papers for the country\'s proud research institute. The knee of the Ministry of Magic, which also boasts authority as your opinion number for governance. Those gathered here are the nationally recognized elites.
It may therefore be the natural make-up that has an exclusive side. I guess the unfriendly gaze at the rest of us "he" has such a physique.
The development of the Kingdom of Palletia is greatly influenced by the magical faith, with the Spirit as its friend. Extensive spiritual resources for the production of competent wizards. Let us also say that that is the backbone that underpins the national power of the Kingdom of Palletia.
I remember someone saying that the Ministry of Magic is such a glorious place to symbolize the glory of the Kingdom of Palettia. That\'s a fact, I guess it\'s right. If we rise to this status, we can give our opinions on politics. It is promised that he will be chosen for the narrow gate.
(Well, whether that\'s right or not)
"He" laughs inside, with his nose. Indeed, the Kingdom of Palletia is a country that has developed around magic. But that is not the case when it comes to whether everything in the country is supported only by magical benefits.
It is the role of royalty and nobility to lead the country. But it is the people who are building the foundations of the country. The people cultivate the land, recover the resources, and spread them both inside and outside the country.
Not in the country without the people. The people are many who cannot use magic. I can\'t handle magic without being the bastard son of an aristocrat.
It is therefore true that there are aristocrats who look down on the civilian population. That number is by no means small. Still, I suppose the relationship between civilians and nobles has persisted to this day, painstakingly, because the magic benefits are still enormous.
Power is power. And magic can be a power that leads to power. That is why nobility seeks to be a competent wizard. To myself, and to my child. And to descendants who inherit their own blood.
Protect the people because nobility has power, and the people devote themselves to nobility because they are protected. At the end of the day, it can\'t be done without one or the other.
Still, nobility is above us. Few people work tyranny because they protect them. That is creating a deep gulf between the twitch and the people and nobility.
(This country is sick)
That\'s what "he" \'s grandfather said. Tell them to learn well and think hard until the day they know what that word means. And he thinks this country is sick right now.
The beginning was more than a decade ago. Around that time, the Kingdom of Palletia was falling into a sloping sun. That was due to the rebellion planned by the nobles who accumulated resentment against the king at the time.
At the time, it was the father of His Majesty Orphans, now king, who was on the throne. It was a policy of preference for the adventurers and the civilian population that was well remembered by its predecessor.
The nobility has the absolute power of magic, but it was also dangerous to go to the front line because of its position. Even if the immense power of magic, for example, could be wielded on the battlefield, he was pregnant with the risk that if he lost his life on that battlefield, there would be no one to rule the territory.
With the war against other countries at stake, it is the policy of preferential treatment of civilians that was carried out by the Predecessor in order to protect the status and personality of the nobility.
Naturally there exists in the long lasting Kingdom of Palletia the luxury and decline of the noble house with its length of history. And it was not uncommon for people in declining houses to interact with civilians. More and more civilians with potentially magical talents have been gaining ground since this time.
It would have been nice if this would have made me a knight serving adventurers and nations. But those who used their talents to work evil appeared.
A wizard without nobility. Taking advantage of that notoriety and the spread of damage, the Predecessor decided to launch a policy to pick up potentially magical talented civilians.
That was the support for the adventurers and the new system of holding them as nobles because of their civilian status. Support for adventurers who can reach out to those who cannot be saved, which cannot be reached solely by aristocratic authority. And he tried to take a remarkably active civilian as a nobleman and re-take potential wilderness talents into the country.
This will result in heavy rebellion from conservative nobles who value blood and a long tradition.
It was distracted from the honor of protecting the country, and once and for all, my dissatisfaction with the Predecessor, who favoured the civilian population, grew. The policy put in place to protect his body led to rebellion from those he should have followed, and his mind and body were weakened.
Where radical nobility gained momentum to the verge of beeping in line with the weakness of the Predecessor, those who settled this situation appeared.
That was the king-partisan faction led by the current king, Orphans.
At the time, as a depressed royalty, Orphans, who was a stranger to working in the dirt, showed sudden martial arts. It is said that few nobles were not surprised by this activity.
Orphans\' real brother, who had the right to inherit the first throne, which had become the flag of the anti-Predecessor faction, would be taken over in the midst of the battle to suppress this uprising. It was the moment when the death of his brother decided that Orphanth, who had the right to inherit the throne by rolling up, would become the next king.
It was the Marquis de Silphine Mays who welcomed such an Orphance as queen. She was the daughter of a leading nobleman who participated in a faction of anti-Predecessors, yet a war maiden who destroyed her own house.
For the atonement of his own house, which was a queen but sinned against his predecessor, he did everything in his power to embark himself on diplomacy and retreat from external illness.
Grants Magenta, the next owner of the Duke of Magenta family, who had long served the royal family beside the king, tried to stabilise his internal affairs by refraining.
Once the king\'s authority was to be restored by Orphans. And the policy imposed by Orphans also dissatisfied the nobility a little bit, and the country quietly slowly regained stability.
Yes. I did get the peace back. But the country was quietly starting to get sick by the policies Orphans had exchanged at that time.
(The reason is the preferential policy to the Ministry of Magic)
The Ministry of Magic was in a neutral position at the time. But in an effort to contain the steadily increasing number of anti-Predecessors, Orphans hoped to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic.
The anti-Predecessors were mainly conservatives who valued the traditions of the past, but also militants who were brave and famous. The family line, proud of its magical authority and proud to show martial arts, gathered around it. As a force against such militant factions, Orphans called for help from the Ministry of Magic.
The Ministry of Magic is a research institute pursuing magic studies and the truth to get closer to the Spirit and God. However, as a result, a number of competent wizards were also enrolled. But I don\'t ask for the honor of martial arts enough to point a sword at the king. What they wanted was power and money for their own exploration.
So Orphans launched a preferential policy, admitting his later educational initiative at the College of Aristocrats, and allowing him to participate in order to seek his views on the political arena. Thus the Ministry of Magic steadily gained power.
"He" laughs at what a barren extreme it was that gradually made the country ill.
Orphans will certainly be a good king who has passed through the turmoil and calmed the country.
But it left a great source of anxiety in the future as a price for that calm. Whether he was a good king or called a foolish king who later created the cause of bankrupting the country will be told by later historians.
(His Majesty Orphans leveraged the help of the Ministry of Magic to stabilize the country. In the meantime, I also raised factions that would be my own hands and feet, but the spread of the authority of the Ministry of Magic was faster than I thought. It was the wind that competed for hegemony by Wu that diminished, but it seems to be a good battle with the anti-Predecessors when it comes to the degree of voter thought. I hear it\'s worse this way if it\'s a bad tach. It was also painful for the previous king to have fallen)
If my lord survived.
Having debilitated himself physically and mentally, the Predecessor is leaving the world before he sees the reign of Orphans.
Orphans\' mother has also left the world when she was weak and Orphans was young. Other brothers, who could be called flesh parents, would argue with their own hands, and Orphans had no faction of his own.
Even if I had it, its size was small. Although its quality was superior, it still does not affect a wide range. That led me to forgive the rise of the Ministry of Magic.
(And I tried my best to raise the next king, but he said it was behind my back)
Was the factor behind it still Anisphere Wynn Palettia?
A strange princess who set up a theory that revolts head-on with the idea of the Ministry of Magic. That presence must have been a threat to the Ministry of Magic.
If you become an abominable child who can\'t use magic, your hatred will deepen. For the Ministry of Magic, it would have been frustrating to be the blood muscle of the Royal Family.
Of course, not all haters of Anisphere. Some of them felt in Anisphere\'s founded theory. But Anisphere was not actively associated with them, and he drew himself into a cage.
It was his brother, Algard, who was incited to do so. Ever since he was mistaken for Anisphere, the Ministry of Magic laid eyes on Algard in an attempt to take in even the kingdom, eroding its spirit.
They move under their beliefs. "He" doesn\'t deny it. But that\'s where the people are missing. In the end, it doesn\'t accumulate because it goes around and everything is behind it.
"The people just need to be there, that\'s the idea. That\'s stalled. Sooner or later, it will starve and erode the country. No, I\'m talking about being pretty eroded already."
The first king to build the kingdom of Palletia says he made a spiritual covenant with the Spirit to gain immense power.
And the people sheltered by the king lifted up the kingdom and laid the foundations: the Kingdom of Palletia.
Is this a retrograde of the times? Concentrate the authority by magic and follow the people. I guess that\'s certainly a glorious reenactment that once was.
This country is sick.
I\'m worried about a disease called glory of the past.
Things are different from the past. There are not many civilians, and there is a build-up of dissatisfaction with the nobility who created the ditch.
Although the Spirit faith is a faith rooted in this country, its sense of distance varies between nobility and civilians.
When the gulf was launched as a policy for the nobility to rise again. Can\'t we just say that civilians don\'t take weapons this time?
When that happens, it\'s Anisphere Win Palettia you should be afraid of.
Even the civilian population will be able to bring out phenomena similar to magic at the price of magic alone. "He" felt so, fearing that many in the Ministry of Magic.
(I wonder if this will happen once you have the authority. I also used to hear that the Ministry of Magic is in a more research-oriented, closed shape...)
Dissatisfaction with the Anisphere, which is secretly spreading. But let\'s just say Orphans hit his hand well there.
The royal fate of elucidating the spiritual covenant from the perspective of magic would have shocked the Ministry of Magic. When this works, Anisphere will be able to handle magic and may cease to be an abominable child.
I don\'t think it\'s hard to get rid of the idea that once took root, but if we were able to give magic benefits, we wouldn\'t have to do it until we repelled. Such air is being created.
"Well, I wonder how it rolls. Let me show you something, huh? Princess Anisphere."
"He" laughs at the ashes.
The princess floated behind her brain the other day, traveling from Wang Du in search of the clue.
What changes are being made by Anisphere, or Uphilia beside her, when she returns?
Miguel Graphite proceeded down the hallway of the Ministry of Magic with a grin on his mouth, as he said it was a joy without accumulating.
