"Next term, as a princess witch (Medium) I nominate this daughter… Cecilia Peter. At last, I ask His Majesty Elquille to be the guardian of this daughter."

"If that's the case, I'd be happy to say..."

Erkühr raises questions about the princess witch (Medium).

"Millennials, I value you as a very good...... politician (...). That's why your options are too puzzling for me. It's not good to say it in front of him..."

Erkühl glances back at the princess witch (Medium) after seeing the Chronos of Cecilia and the Archbishop of Lemuria, who are holding back beside him.

"No matter how good you are, you're twelve. entrust me with the guardian of that twelve-year-old little girl.... May I decide that I have received direct permission from you to place all the Mesian Churches under the secular rights of the Lemurian Empire? I only feel uncomfortable with what you do"

Elquille sips a cup of tea, then goes on with the words.

"Certainly Cecilia is your direct grandson, but it makes no sense that you have to inherit the position of princess witch (Medium). Besides Cecilia, there must be plenty of candidates. That is the one who is elderly and good at political rush, who should be in the Peter family. Certainly Cecilia is excellent. That's just a little talk, but I know enough. But aren't you too young? … it just seems to me that you are trying to force the princess (Medium) position to inherit from your grandson's cuteness, and the public will see it that way"

The Erkühr question is not over yet.

"In the first place, I don't understand the need for me to be my guardian. No, it's convenient as far as I'm concerned, so I'll gladly let you take it... but in Lord Kronos, the archbishop there, is there a shortage? Indeed, it is true that the historical princess witch (Medium) has obtained the military and political asylum of Emperor Lemuria. But that's not what I see as an example of being a direct guardian. Normally it is normal for Archbishop Lemuria to be the back shield"

Elquille stares straight at the princess witch (Medium).

"Again, let's ask. Millennials. I want you to tell me why you want Cecilia to be the new princess (Medium) and then ask me to look after her."

The princess (Medium) took a sip of tea before smiling.

"Yeah, I get it. Let me answer His Majesty's questions one by one."

The princess (Medium) first stuck out a finger.

"First, make one correction. I'm not going to die right now. And then I'm going to live three or four years. Therefore, giving the princess (Medium) position to her twelve-year-old daughter has a narrative. Fifteen or sixteen, to be exact."

"... Still, do you feel young?

"Oh, will Your Majesty say that? He reigned at twelve, His Majesty Elquille."

"I'm a genius."

Erkühr said with dignity.

In Elquille's words, the princess (Medium) laughs bitterly.

"Your Majesty the First Emperor...... Your Majesty Hadrianus and my thoughts go hand in hand. Just as His Majesty Hadrianus believed in your potential, so do I."

"... I see, I get it"

Elquille has only exchanged a few words with Cecilia.

So how good is Cecilia? I don't know that.

We have to believe the words of the princess (Medium).

Elquille flinches and shifts her gaze to Cecilia.

Excellent, praised Cecilia was shy of turning her face bright red... but she seemed happy.

You don't look very complimented and tamed.

Perhaps the princess (Medium) usually scolds me all the time.

(Would it be that good?

Erkühr tilted his neck inside.

"In addition, there is a reason to nominate a young Cecilia… 'only because you are young'.... I can't go into the details... One of the magical effects of the inheritance of the princess witch (Medium) is that it 'slows down aging'. When I was young...... that's the only way I could live more than my long-eared family (elves) if I got this inheritance magic by the early twenties. But the lost youth will not return. … It is better to give the position to the younger one to stabilize the position of the princess witch (Medium) for a long time. In the long run, that's what you get."

"A minor problem, such as lack of early experience…?

"Yeah, experience can only be gained later if you live longer. But we can't regain physical deterioration."

The older humans bear, the worse their brains deteriorate.

This is self-evident.

Compared to the peak cerebral miso in the early twenties, the cerebral miso in the forties and fifties...

I still have to say that my memory, judgment, persistence, etc. are fading.

But in terms of work, the forties and fifties are better than the early twenties (with busted exceptions like Erkühl).

For some reason, I have 'experience'.

People who have lived longer know how to deal with a variety of situations.

Experience is very important.

Well...

Here's one, let's give an example.

Experienced people in their fifties and inexperienced people in their late teens.

Which is better?

The answer is the former.

Unless the latter jumps through and excels, or the former is absurdly incompetent...

Normally I would decide that the former is better.

So...

What if you're a man with experience in his fifties and a man who's physically in his late teens but has equivalent experience to his fifties?

Without any doubt, the latter is better.

Well I mean...

This is why the Princess Witch (Medium) is trying to nominate Cecilia as the next Princess Witch (Medium).

Certainly it would be easier to make an experienced human being in his forties and fifties a princess witch (Medium).

But because she's already getting older, even if the inheritance magic of the princess witch (Medium) slows her aging somewhat, water on the burning stone.

You'll be dead soon.

But even if you're inexperienced, what if you're a young, brilliant Cecilia?

Sure, I'm anxious at first, but in a few decades, a princess witch (Medium) will be born with "Young, Outstanding Brain Miso" and "Extensive Experience".

In the long run, it is better to nominate a young Cecilia.

"Well... So why Cecilia? The question is, it's never my grandson's cuteness. Because there was only Cecilia, a young, brilliant, contemplative Peter woman like me."

"... what?

"I mean the pro-Lemrians and the anti-Lemurians, that's the story. In churches within the former Western Lemurian Empire, anti-Lemurians are becoming mainstream. Until a while ago, I adopted one policy or the other..."

The princess (Medium) drinks tea and moisturizes her throat.

"I changed my mind after the Alektia Duke meeting, which you proposed. You are a man of the word, and under your rule the Lemurian Empire will be rebuilt. Anti-Lemuria is against the upcoming momentum. Besides... it would be good while I'm alive. But after my death, there is no anti-Lemurian leader who can confront you. Stimulating you poorly, the Lemurian Church is better than ruled by secular power… leaders as good as Cecilia, plus some pacing to you, the Lemurian Church can remain independent in the long run"

Does Elquille think it's okay to let the princess witch (Medium) rule the Lemurian Church by secular power?

asked.

But the princess witch (Medium)...

Don't let the Lemurian Church be ruled by secular power, defy the Lemurian emperor named Erkühl badly, and choose Cecilia as your leader so that there is nothing like buying anger.

I answered.

If you want to explain it clearly to the Japanese...

Which of us can be more independent and secure than "fighting and selling directly from the front" or "following some compromise" against a country that doesn't know what to do if it pisses you off?

That's the story.

If you're confident you can win, you can choose the former...

If you're not sure you can win, it's smarter to choose the latter.

"So you asked me for a guardian..."

"Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry about Kronos, but how long after my death, Kronos was in the Lemurian Church.

I don't know if I can exercise my powers. So much for the anti-Lemurian forces. So I ask you as a painful measure. "

When the princess (Medium) said so, Kronos, who had refrained on his side, moved forward and bowed his head to Erkür.

"It's all because I can't help it.... Your Majesty the Emperor, please help us. The political and military back shield of the Lemurian Empire will continue to be essential to the survival of the Mesian Church. Please..."

Elquille was a little surprised by this.

Kronos, speaking of Lucanos - the archbishop of Nova Remulia - is the only image I can imagine arguing over.

I thought you were anti-Lemurian.

"Surprise. I just thought you hated me."

"... the only thing I don't like is no balls there. I have nowhere to think of His Majesty the Emperor"

Kronos was holding back on Elkür's side, staring at Lucanos.

Lucanos also stared back at the loss.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll work with you. Nothing. I don't even think of this as putting the Mesian Church under control, becoming emperor and pope, and ruling the secular sacred world together… etc. Secular, the sacred world should be able to live somewhat apart. As far as I'm concerned, if only secular superiority could be established...... I'm not going to intervene in the Mesian Church itself. But......"

Erkür turned his gaze to Cecilia.

"Cecilia. I haven't heard your will yet. You said Cecilia was a pro-Lemrian under the Millennials... in fact, what do you think? Unless I ask your opinion, it's not that easy to snort."

And when Elquille asks......

"Yes, Your Majesty. My Lady... As the Princess Witch (Medium) said, I should keep pace with His Majesty the Emperor. The Mesian Church needs strong guardians. If His Majesty the Emperor would protect you, there would be no more comforting guardian. … but"

Cecilia stared at Elquille with a caged eye of strong will.

"I am not going to lose to His Majesty the Emperor, and I will say what I thought was wrong. Besides... Your Majesty said earlier that 'secular superiority'? I believe that the princess witch (Medium) and Emperor Lemuria should be equal. I am a pro-Lemrian. I think we should keep pace with His Majesty the Emperor. But I'm not going to obey His Majesty, and I'm not going to be His Majesty's minister. Not to mention there's never going to be anything like becoming a dog"

Cecilia stares firmly into Elquille's eyes.

"Emperor Lemuria is the guardian of the Mesian Church. Nothing more, nothing less. It is the princess witch (Medium) who coaches the Mesian Church. The Holy World is the Holy World. Secularity is secularity. It should be mutually inviolable. Not to mention the priesthood of Gomoto Mountain (...) and the clergy trading Simonia."

The air calmed down.

At least not an attitude towards the person seeking asylum from now on.

Archbishop Nova Remulia, Archbishop Orontia, Archbishop Alexitia, Archbishop Hiesoria.

Of the five main mountains, it is a centuries-old custom that Emperor Lemuria holds four ecclesiastical powers.

Blaming it head-on, etc...

Buying Elquille's wrath wasn't weird.

Kronos stretched his face, "I did it..." he held his head inside.

The princess (Medium) smiled gently and decided to carry out her corporal punishment, "I'll whip you on the back later," she said.

Lucanos, moving his pique cheeks, said, "What? This damn busty fucking kid," he couldn't hide his inner frustration.

Todris looked worried and said, "Sire, please don't turn me down angrily, okay?" and send a gaze, as he asks Elquille for restraint.

And Elquille...

"Knock it off...... haha!!!

I started laughing joyfully.

In a quiet chamber, Elquille's laughter echoes.

After a laugh, Erkühl reached out to Cecilia.

Cecilia stood up for a moment...

That ended in worry.

Elquille's hands just caressed Cecilia's hair gently.

As he stroked his head, Erkühl said with a grin.

"Not at all... you're about to cut me that far. I don't know anything scary about you, lady. Well, fine. I'm not even a princess (Medium) yet. Let me forgive you this time."

Well, it certainly doesn't make sense that Emperor Lemuria has the priesthood right...

Erkühr whines inside.

"Try not to lose, okay? Dear Little Princess Witch (Medium),"

"... Your Majesty can't beat you, even if you don't tell me"

Cecilia grabbed Elquille's hand and swelled her cheeks back.

Bachin!!

Bachin!!

Bachin!!

"Higu... Oh, I'm sorry..."

"Am I supposed to be sorry!! It's about you to blame that person when you ask people for things!!

Bachin!!

The whip of a princess witch (Medium) hits Cecilia in the butt.

Each time, Cecilia's body trembled bickly and a cry leaked out of her mouth.

"Ha... not at all. Well, that would be good. Your Majesty didn't care."

"Oh, sorry...... but I didn't say one bad thing!!

Cecilia protested against the princess witch (Medium) with tears as she rubbed her butt.

The princess (Medium) sighs.

"... do you really know what makes me angry?

"... yes, no matter how much I really thought there were good times and bad times to say about time and in some cases,... that, uh, where I do ask you to be the back shield, I reflect that it was inappropriate to accuse you of the priesthood right..."

The princess (Medium) smiled, confirming that Cecilia had been properly scolded.

"Then fine.... Nothing. I'm not saying that your thinking is wrong. I also believe that the current situation in which Emperor Lemuria holds the priesthood power is wrong. It is wrong in the first place for secular power to speak to the Holy World. But things have something called order. Take advantage of that man first and make your position firm. and gain experience, and challenge them with dignity."

"Yes...... but how could His Majesty not be angry?

Cecilia hit the princess witch (Medium) with doubts.

Cecilia was ready to be beaten then.

But Erkür laughed, just stroking Cecilia's head.

"... did you make that statement knowing Your Majesty would be angry?

"No way!! Eh...... think back now!!

Cecilia rushed to see the princess (Medium) move the whip she had in her right hand.

The princess (Medium) takes a small sigh and then answers.

"Because you're a child. He's making fun of you, anyway, that it can't be a big deal.... No, you're not the only one he's fooling around with, I guess I am too... or the very organization called the Mesian Church. In the West, we, the Princess Witch (Medium) and the Mesian Church, have great power. But in the East, ruled by Emperor Lemuria, all churches are placed under the control of Emperor Lemuria"

Before the Lord Alektia meeting happened.

Erkühl arrested Archbishop Alexitia, and by trial, he had pulled out his tongue and turned it into an island flush.

And he sentenced Archbishop Orontia, who broke the Elquille, to an imperial exile sentence on the contrary, to yield this.

In the East, the priests cannot oppose Emperor Lemuria in any way.

"No matter how wrong you claim to be, I can't shake that he has the priesthood right to episcopate. If I or you broke him down, he wouldn't be afraid of one thing. All he has to do is catch us with his military might and force us to retract it. Unlike the kings of the West, he... because Emperor Lemuria has a strong bureaucracy and a mighty standing army"

When the kings of the West are broken...

The princes who serve the king will limit themselves to kings, and in some cases will move to become kings themselves.

There are places where kings depend on the loyalty and military might of the nobility.

But not in the case of Emperor Lemuria.

Even if Elquille is broken, bureaucrats and standing armies serving Elquille will not betray Elquille.

It's nothing more than a piece of paper for Erkühr, such as a bankruptcy notice.

"Is that good, Cecilia? He is dangerous. No one on his side can rely more than he does, but no one is more terrible than him if he is an enemy. Be careful."

"... so dangerous, is it? I don't seem like that bad of a person. I think you can tell by talking."

Cecilia tilts her neck.

Cecilia had no idea why the princess witch (Medium) was so vigilant.

"Years of thinking, that's the one. You know, the type is dangerous."

"Like that...... type?

When Cecilia asked back, the princess (Medium) nodded.

"If you live a hundred or two hundred years, you see it every once in a while. Like him, fear, empathy, a child born of forgetting important things in his mother's womb as a person. That's a kind of disease, something like a disorder. You look like a normal person, but in that you're born without something important, you're the same person who was born with a missing limb. But... well, I don't know what that means, but while that hand of man commits unimaginable madness, he becomes a great hero or a great merchant, or he does, doesn't he? And people like me for some reason. That's why I'm scared."

I don't care, Omake, Description

Sheherazard: "Question!! What is the priesthood right? What about clergy trafficking?

Elquille: "Hmm, that's a good question. Briefly, read the letter. The former has the right to appoint a priest. The latter buys priesthood for money."

SHEHERAZARD: "I see... His Majesty the Emperor holds that priesthood in office... What? For what?

Elquille: "Um, you should chew it up and explain it... it exerts great influence in the Church, especially in that area when it comes to the level of general bishop. Many donations and stopovers make it a huge economic force, and most importantly, it's a pain in the ass to speak. When anti-emperor figures take power there, you're in trouble, aren't you? That's why I appoint a pro-emperor personality directly. And priests can also be used as bureaucrats because they are basically intelligent. So it's convenient for imperial rule."

Shehrazard: "So what do you mean, clergy trafficking?

Elquille: "When I say the right to be in charge, I cannot appoint the head of all the churches. One church in one village. The church is innumerable. So the only thing I choose is a high priest. So, the high priest elects a lower priest and I approve. Buying and selling occurs in the process. For example, if no position is found in a leading merchant or aristocratic child, they send a heart-to-heart donation (...) to a high priest for consultation. Then the high priest said, 'Just, there's a church in the O00 village vacant, what do you say?'. Noble merchants find a job for their children, high priests get donations, and I can easily increase my dominance. Of three birds a stone that makes us all happy..."

Cecilia: "What are you lying about!

Erkür "This is Dear Little Princess Witch (Medium). Where do you say there's a lie? You shouldn't lick too many adults," Nadenade.

Cecilia: "Please don't touch me! And not the little princess witch, I have the name Cecilia!

Elquille "Hi, Tibicecilia"

Cecilia "Grungy..."

Shehrazard: "Uh, where's the mistake?

Cecilia: "Everybody's happy. Most important...... aren't the faithful unhappy because of the corrupt clergy!

Erkür: "Corruption is disrespect. Where are the elements of corruption?"

Cecilia: "Secular power chooses priesthood and buys priesthood with gold! It's a secular invasion of the sacred world! This is not called corruption, what is corruption?

Elquille: "So who says we should appoint?

Cecilia: "There will be no other princess than the Medium."

Erkür "But Tibicecilia. Can you assure me that the person chosen by the princess is absolutely right? Isn't it an act of transcendence for a princess witch to elect an archbishop in the first place? Does the Bible say that? Indeed, the princess is the leader of the Mesian Church. But the princess was originally only one of the apostles. You should be just one believer. That princess ruling over the other archbishops is an act of contempt for the other faithful."

Cecilia: "Well, that's... but the princess witch (Medium) is also a proxy for Mesia..."

Elquille: "The Archbishop should be chosen by the faithful themselves in the area. Didn't I?"

Cecilia: "Ha, that may be true..."

Elquille: "I mean, it makes sense that I appoint people in the area who pledge allegiance, admire, and are supported"

Cecilia: "Sure...... why would that happen!!

Elquille: "I've won again..."

Cecilia: "I didn't win! Besides, isn't it the same fact that priesthood trading is bad!

Elquille: "What matters is whether my orders reach the details of the Church, and I don't care about the quality of the priesthood. That is, it would be more convenient for the church to rot and buy disappointment from the people. For that matter, I have support."

Cecilia: "Ho, you represented your nature! This outer road! If I become a princess witch (Medium), I won't let you do as you please!

Elkür "Hahahahahahaha! Come on, little Cecilia."

Cecilia: "Plump, make a fool of yourself because that's how you're a child!

Shehrazard (Mesianism is a good doctrine but why is this intense internal conflict......)
