Portrait of Queen Berta: I accidentally got pregnant with His Majesty's child

--From autumn to winter of the year, the days of distress continued for the royal family.

Since the transition to the capital the previous year, the spark of religious controversy has continued to smoke.

No, if I may say so, five years ago, when current King Harold founded his own Austrian National Church in the form of a doctrinal sect, the footsteps of bankruptcy already began to resonate.

Or more than a decade ago.When the bastard son of the former king took the throne of the kingdom.

When Harold was born in the first place, the Queen Dowager decided to take him in hand and raise him as her own son.

There is no way to go back to the cause.

Anyway, it was just that the relationship between the two factions, which had somehow been deceived, had finally reached its limit and a huge rift had run between them.

Naturally, the biggest intrusion for enthusiastic religious figures was Queen Berta.

The very existence of Berta, and how she behaves as queen, has been controversial since the moment she appeared on this central political scene as second princess.

It was a well-known fact, at least in court society at the time, that she was an ignorant, insensitive queen of religion.

"After all, I'm a follower of the state religion."

In terms of ceremonial appearance, Berta did meet the requirements of being the Queen of the Principal Royal Family of the National Church.

Initially married to the royal family as a second princess, she was baptized by the National Church of Australia.

"Eh... is that so?"

Nevertheless, when we talked about it, even the maids looked like they could not remember anything.

"Look, on the day you entered the royal castle of Dalago, you did enter a separate room before you went out to see His Majesty.It's like a simple interrogation room.So the old man in the suit and I would have asked him a few questions. "

It's no wonder they don't remember.It was literally only formal.

At that time, no one was as interested in converting to the second princess as they were in the vague existence of the second princess.

It is a ritual that is embedded in a degree of apology because it is the King's wife and must be baptized formally by the National Church.

It was a good time to schedule, but it was a really appropriate event for a dozen minutes.

"Ah! Is that the ritual where the weird old man tried to water the princess's head?"

"The old man, I think, was the bishop of the Australian National Church."

Now the bishop is also a familiar person, but the impression at the time of the first encounter is weak.

The bishop performed a ritual in Belta that omitted any detailed explanation.I only told Berta to repeat the ancient language that I am about to say because there was not much time.

"You did, didn't you?This was an imminent battle situation in which my hair and makeup were well prepared in order to arrive in the future.I can't believe she tried to kneel down and water her head from time to time. "

Eventually, the bishop who touched the upside down of the carefree maids gave up the perfusion ritual."Then it's okay by hand," I feel like the ritual was replaced by pressing the hand with water droplets against my head, but that was Gudagda even now I remember.

"Louis's recent baptism reminds me of the place, the costumes, the details."

Originally, "baptism" seems to be something like that for devout believers and religious people.

A special ritual in which a person swears faith in God once in a lifetime.

Apart from Belta, I have nothing in mind about my baptism.

At that time, perhaps, well, I told you to follow my country when you enter it... I accepted the conversion ritual with a degree of thought, but if you think about it, the lightness makes people feel that Berta does not understand what is fundamentally faith, but it is the shallowness of the death.

In this case, the more devout people rejected it, the more negative they seemed to be about what they were doing to Berta that day.

Harold has a slight interest in that, but the biggest case will be Bishop Auostaria.

With the exception of the King, the bishop, who holds the highest position in the new National Church, takes seriously the fact that an ignorant queen from a foreign country has been baptized as if she had no intention of doing so.

"Bishop, what about Prince Louis' baptism?"

"The prince is not yet the age to express his faith clearly."

Nevertheless, it seems that baptism of young children is such a thing.

"Originally in the mainstream teachings of Prospero Church, it seems that children born between believers are naturally baptized in the church shortly after birth."

There are two main types of baptism rituals.

One is a confession of faith associated with conversion in adulthood, as Berta received.This is a relatively large one, because it is a responsible person who swears faith in God by his own will.

The other is toddler baptism. Born into a family that connects generations of beliefs, the child will naturally become a believer.

Perhaps it was closer to the confession of the faith of the parents who vowed to raise my child faithfully than to the will of their faith.The desire to seek the protection of children and to grow up healthy is a universal emotion regardless of cultural area.

"In short, it's more about the parents than the children themselves.... nobody said anything about Louis' baptism back then because I wouldn't let him go. "

... I suppose Harold would have wanted Marguerite, who was the first queen at the time, to have acted as surrogate mother, to reorganize the doctrine of the National Church and to have his toddler baptized as a guarantee of Louis' legitimacy.

But the prince was surrounded and concealed by his birth mother, the unbelieving Second Queen.

Because of the history of the collision leading up to the situation, it seemed that everyone refrained from touching the swelling and even talking about it.

"But it would have been difficult for the Conservative Marguerite to be the mother of Prince Louis, the son of the Petras.- If it was such an important ceremony, was there a compromise that Queen Wang Tai would represent her? "

The allegation was correct.

At that time, Berta had no way of knowing, but this was also a topic that had been discussed quite a bit outside in the morning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty had the intention.... but the Queen Dowager refused.Young people should take care of Louis, not themselves. "

At that time, the Queen Dowager didn't put so much weight on Belta, so the claim of maggots probably left room for interpretation that either Marguerite or Belta should do it.

Queen Tai's claims have always been consistent, and she expects a woman in her position as queen to have political say.

If it were a baptism ritual for babies with a very high probability of becoming Prince Wang, Queen Wang seemed to think that it was the Queen's responsibility to act as a guardian there.

"To be honest, the least frictional way for the factions to come out right now must be to get the Queen Dowager."

However, the Queen Dowager's will is firm, and nobody has convinced her to do so.

Harold only, Berta only.

Belta was also stabbed with a nail the other day. It's not like you're still hardening your defenses. My ancestors' teachings hurt my ears.

"I can't help it. Indeed, as Queen Wang said, we can't always rely on Queen Wang."

Until now, every time there was a religious event that could not be avoided, Belta managed to get over it by packing in only preliminary things and baked edges.

The bishops, who know that her conversion was scattered, seem to have somehow penetrated such a sweet and generous response to Berta.

Yes, it is.

But Belta herself knows it's time to raise her heavy hips.

"I feel like I can't stay indifferent to faith anymore..."

The "national" proselytism deeply rooted in much of the country north of the Great River.

It was also a huge religious organization rooted in continental society for more than a thousand years, connecting culture and culture like a net.

They live in their own values based on pious doctrines, but these values are traditionally and dominantly espoused among the nobles of the kings of continental countries.

Although the sect that has been practised in Aostaria for many years since the time of the previous dynasty is a mainstream religion among the Prosperous religions, the new Aostarian National Church naturally draws on its mainstream.

― ― Regarding religious issues, even the powerful countries must be more careful because of the depth of their history, but also because of the loose union of religions that connects continental countries.

What Austaria was facing now was a fear of falling out of the loose union of those continental societies.

The royalty of any country is like being related to each other when we follow our ancestors a few generations ago.

Continental countries sometimes struggle and sometimes form alliances, but as a whole they form detached and tireless mutual societies.

A sense of danger that completely detaches itself from that broad community.That makes it a "redundant" state for many continental countries.

Harold continues to confront this problem calmly.

Even after he founded the National Church of Australia, he continued to provide repeated funding and military dispatch to Pope Prospero, playing a sense of distance without attachment.

He also avoided diplomatic clashes by emphasizing that the new teachings of the Austrian National Church were very similar to those of the majority, so that they were perceived by the Pontifical Administration as heretics and not subject to repression.

The only clear-cut difference between the Old National Church and the Australian National Church is that it partially tolerates bigamy and the right of extramarital children to inherit.

However, even now that five years have passed since the complete division of the State Church, King Harold himself is the only one in the middle aristocratic society to have two wives.

He only formally still had two queens, but he did not accept any offers of double marriage from other royal nobles.

... while it is true that the permissibility of bigamy and extramarital children is a particularly effective norm that confirms the status quo of the royal family, it is a double-edged sword that can quickly become a drug if misused.

We are even pregnant with the danger of shaking the form of domination that has traditionally laid the foundations of this country, and if we do too much, it could lead to obvious isolation in the cultural zones of the continental countries in the future.

In light of these circumstances, it would be reasonable to take measures such as bigamy around the remains that may be acceptable if there are difficult or unacceptable circumstances to trace.

--Well, Harold, as the favorite king of the double norm, let history carve out its infamy.

He is the king who was drawn to poverty in the order of history.
