”Hello, Hupatia. How are you doing?
About a month after Cecilia's wedding.
Hercule was visiting Hupatia on business in Arrecia.
Hupatia was a warbeast woman with beautiful silver hair and a fox shape.
She is a follower of classical polytheism, which is completely different from Messianism, and is the director of the Great Library of Aletheia.
As a pagan by nature, she is a shady character in the Messianic world. ......
However, she was allowed to have a huge mansion in the prime location of Aletheia City.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
In a frightened tone, Hupatia said to Hercule.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure who's baby it is,......, but I'm sure it goes without saying.
As I told you before, the child will belong to the Messianic Orthodox Church. But I will leave it up to you to raise the child.
Ha, ha. ...... Oh, thank you.
Hupatia patted her belly affectionately.
I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you.
But she hadn't lost her beauty, perhaps because she was a high-ranking species.
”By the way, Hupatia. About the report I received about a week ago: ......
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I've been able to restore all of the books in the Great Library of Alexandria that were destroyed in the ...... fire.
The Great Library of Alexandria.
A great king who conquered the world once built a huge library containing all the books in the world.
But due to an unfortunate accident, it was severely damaged.
However, thanks to the efforts of Hupatia, her fellow scholars, and some Messianic monks, the restoration of all the books was finally completed.
The fire occurred when Hercule and Hupatia met ......, which was when Hupatia was 20 years old.
In other words, it took about twenty years.
”It's all thanks to ...... your support, .......
”Don't worry about it. ”Don't worry about it. Books are the world's treasure.
And so on.
However, in reality, it is largely due to the work of Hercule that the collection of the Great Library of Alexandria was successfully restored and restored.
Even during the war.
Even in times of war.
Even in times of famine.
Even in times of war, disaster, or famine, Hercule continued to devote the minimum necessary funds to the reconstruction of the Library of Alexandria.
No matter how much scholars and monks love books, they too have a life.
By continuing to guarantee their income while they contributed to the restoration of the books, they were able to successfully restore the collection.
Let's continue to support them as we always have. We will continue our support as before. ...... Keeping books in one place is a risk. Next, you should work on manuscripts and translations.
Some of the books stored in the Library of Alexandria are incompatible with Messianic doctrine.
Nevertheless, there is a movement among the monks to incorporate such knowledge and refine the doctrine of Messiah.
Cecilia is the first of them.
Hercule intends to copy and translate the entire collection of the Great Library of Alexandria and preserve it for posterity in the monastery and the library he has built in Nova Lemuria.
”Thank you, ....... Your Majesty.
Don't worry about it.
Hercule said, kissing Hypatia on the cheek.
For almost six months.
Hercule and Cecilia had been newlyweds in Nova Lemuria.
However, Cecilia, who had already become the leader of the Western World and the Messianic World both in name and reality, could not leave Lemuria City, the capital of the world, for a long period of time.
So, the day came when Cecilia returned to Lemuria City.
I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean.
I'm sure you'll agree. ...... You want me to lend a hand in the reconstruction of Lemuria City, is that it?
In Lemuria City.
In Cecilia's mansion, Hercule again confirmed this to Cecilia.
Yes. Aside from politics, I and the monks and priests in my entourage are unfamiliar with this kind of internal politics.
Cecilia had taken a page from Hercule, or more accurately, the Lemurian Empire, and had reorganized the Church into a sort of centralized bureaucracy.
However, this organization would specialize in administering endowed manors and collecting a tenth of the taxes from congregations around the world.
In other words, it was not very good at flood control, irrigation, or industrial development.
In this respect, Hercule and his vassals were several steps ahead of him.
I had already given my body to Hercule many times.
I had no hesitation in asking him to teach me.
(Now, what should I do?)
What Cecilia was looking for was probably not verbal advice.
In the first place, she had already given Cecilia a lot of advice on domestic affairs and governance in pillow talk when they had spent the night together.
Therefore, what Cecilia is looking for is ......
Perhaps financial help.
In the treaty signed by Hercule, Ludwig I, and Cecilia, it was stipulated that
The city of Lemuria belongs to the Lemurian Empire, the legitimate territory of the Lemurian Empire.
The right of control over the city of Lemuria and its surrounding areas, including the right of governance, administration, and tax collection, shall be donated to the Lemurian Patriarchate of the Messianic Church in the name of Hercule Julianos. Cecilia Peter and Ludwig Fraling confirm this.
It has been decreed that
At first glance, this seems to be a way to save face for Hercule by nominally giving control of Lemuria to the Lemurian Empire, but Cecilia probably came up with this condition in order to get financial support from Hercule.
It's the territory of the Lemurian Empire, so give us money.
But the right to rule, to administer, and to collect taxes is mine.
That's what Cecilia is trying to say.
