Chapter Eight: The Users of Void[]
After teeks, the Nations Conference ended without too much trouble
The result: Tristain and Germania claimed a vast territory in Albion and added it to their territory
The re lands were under the joint rule of three countries: Tristain, Germania and Gallia, as it was decided to restore thethe capital city of Londiniu territory
As a ruler, Tristain’s old noble Duke of Marcillac was recoed and didn’t have much ambition His excellent domestic affair abilities made sure that the troubled Albion would be restored From Germania and Gallia, representatives would be elected, and placed as the king's advisers
And, with four countries taking part, the inia was defended, the rise of republics stopped, and the monarchic alliance of four countries was announced
If a new believer in dedom, the other three countries would be allowed to start military intervention As a result, new atteovernments at the same time
With the establishment of this alliance, the nations conference was closed
They were told to return to their countries tomorrow…
In Havilland palace, Henrietta was desperately looking over documents Cardinal Mazarin could be seen next to her
“Your Majesty, get some rest already… Lately you hardly sleep”
Henrietta attended the Nations Conference almost round-the-clock For Tristain’s interests, she took part in heated discussions Albrecht the III concluded in a whisper, ”Not accepting the e was the correct choice”
“Even if we return home, there will be piles of work I want to do as much as possible”
“However, it is already 12 o'clock”
“I will rest later”
However, the Queen did not go the bed
“Leave such table work to the secretary…”
“I want to look over everything Otherwise, there would have been no point of co on the cloud”
Mazarin sighed Because Henrietta was so young, he couldn’t help but worry However… Mazarin watched Henrietta through half-way closed eyes He wanted to keep the princess, whoer forever
As if preparing to lecture a student, Mazarin cleared his throat
“Your Majesty, as I have said repeatedly, we have to be careful of Gallia”
“Uhum”
Henrietta nodded, not lifting her face from the documents
“Though it was… Gallia that brought an end to this war Yet, their denificant… They only wanted one port Also their words, ‘All that anted we already obtained’…”
In terms of direct control of territory, Tristain and Germania obtained a considerable amount, but Gallia did not want it Mazarin was suspicious of Gallia’s disinterest
“Indeed”
Henrietta nodded
“Fuaah” Mazarin let out a big yawn
“You seem to be sleepy Please take some rest”
“No… I won’t leave until Your Majesty goes to bed”
Henrietta s away the documents
“Will you get some rest?”
“Yes Because I cannot risk your health”
“Stay healthy not just foris also part of work”
“Yes,” Henrietta nodded obediently
Then… reassured, Mazarin left Girlishly, Henrietta fell onto the bed And muttered absent-minded…
“Tired…”
Right now, she could sleep like the dead But, there was one thing left to do before that An act which became every days custom before sleep
Henrietta pulled out a rope next to her pillow
At once… a court lady appeared in front of the door
“You called, Your Majesty?”
“Did Agnes return?”
“The Musketeer Cones–sama, hasn't returned yet”
“I see Thank you”
After hearing the footsteps of the court lady disappear, Henrietta shut her eyes tight Like a child, she bit her fingernail Looking troubled, Henrietta buried her face into the pilloith her eyes closed
At that time, in another room of the Havilland palace…
A lord sitting with his back to a burning fireplace, with his elbow placed on the sofa‘s arreat interest
“Hreat a’ of Gallia?”
King Joseph, while giving a barely contained smile, looked down at the ae from the Pope”
He had outstanding blond hair… It was Julio
While kneeling on one knee on the floor, he answered
“Incapable king?… Your Majesty is far too modest”
“Not overnh atme ‘incapable’ in the shadows If you look at it – the do Just like playing with a toy”
“Your Majesty ended the war History will re”
“Is such compliment of any value? I am not interested in history at all”
Joseph took a music box that was on the table, and placed it on his hand It was an old, worn-out music box It was broith the varnish completely fallen off It was cracked in some places However, Joseph patted it dearly
”Antiquary?”
“Aye I received it from Albion’s royal family, an excellent article; it's called the ‘Founder's Music Box’”
“The Founder's Treasure?”
Joseph's eyes shone
“Precisely”
“Romalia, Gallia, Tristain, and Albion… Each royal fa called the Founder's Treasure”
“I wonder ould happen if the people of Halkeginia were to learn about that?”
“And the ring of the four elements…”
“This one?”
Joseph showed Julio the ring on his finger
“Indeed”
“H sleepy After all, conferences everyday are tiresoet tired I want you to be brief”
“I’h Your Majesty doesn’t like it much, it is connected with history Those treasures, with the Founder’s will and blood were said to be placed in Romalia… And recently a certain prophecy was excavated”
Joseph watched Julio evaluating him So beautiful, that it made all words of description seem banal Poets would have to invent neords for this… And his eyes, both different color, had a strong light in them
This fellow… Julio Cesar named priest… to take part in the nations conference, he could be useful He ht be Romalia’s best man in terms of diplomacy
“Fum What prophecy?”
“The Founder's poas great He divided his power into four parts, putting it into the treasures and rings There were four people to keep it too The Founder said, ‘Four treasures, four rings, four faain, my Void poill awaken’”
“What was that?! In other words, four users of Void exist?! Really?!”
Joseph laughed aloud
“Stop saying foolish things! Users of Void, and four people at that! The Founder’s Void can be replaced by four people? This is a masterpiece!”
“It’s not a lie Romalia collected true information Two users' existences were confirmed”
“Well, who?”
“I cannot tell Only when I am convinced of Your Majesty’s cooperation, will I reveal it ”
“What cooperation?”
“Well, that’s easy As soon as you discover a user of Void, I want you to inform our country about it Don’t worry Our country doesn’t have great ambitions However, ant to accompany the Founder's mind in the fullest sense… only that purpose Royal alliance concluded today… The alliance between three kingdoht correctly lead to the Founder’s true intention - one united country”
“Tsk…” Joseph shook his blue head
“About users of Void I know nothing at all Because I a vassals will not infors”
“There is a way of discovering Void users With one of the four rings, open the music box If that person is a user, he will hear the Founder's melody”
Joseph nodded
“I agree Let’s try it”
“Well then…” Julio stood up
“Wait”
“What?”
“What about sharing Ro?”
“Because you are tired, so…”
“What, itthis long night”
“I am sorry But it is as I said – only when Your Majesty's cooperation is assured, will I get the the permission to reveal it”
“Though young, the king is stronger than the pope”
“More than others, he haslevel of faith from others is demanded”
“Then are you saying - a faith like one in the Founder and God awakening?”
Julio gave a smile
“This topic of Your Majesty’s interest is closed, but there’s another one”
“Very well”
“All substance in the world is rains Grains smaller than water drops or sand As clarified in our recent theology, the four elements' spells control them”
“Fuum”
“But those grains are rains It is said, that those srains are what Void controls”
”So what?”
“Following the Founder’s ather… It would be a completely loose situation… in case of the coht have a dreadful effect Further that it e this world’s existence completely… In fact, there is such a spell mentioned in the prophecy”
“What spell?”
Julio bowed
“I would hate to obstruct Your Majesty’s rest any further”
“Priests always seeanda”
Julio, who tried to leave, was called back to stop by Joseph again
“Wait”
“Has your faith in the Founder’s and God’s truth been reignited?”
“I have a question concerning that faith You, Ro Reconquista… is there any difference between you?”
With a save the profound question to priest
“Reconquista was a disorderly crowd after all They were just bunch of kids against the king They used terround’ just to unite the back the sacred ground from the elves”
“Our Roround Besides that, there are no other motives”
Joseph buried his eyes into the Romalian’s
“Against Elves' Ancient Magic used to control the sacred ground, there is only the Founder’s Void left as a counter Well, in any case if ere to use it…”
Julioto leave Joseph said in a happy voice
“You are mad”
With his different-colored ”leefully,
“This is what faith is about”
After Julio left, Joseph took up the doll from the table The doll had a shape of a thin, brunette woht his mouth close
“Did you hear it too, cute Goddess? Yeah! That’s the right thing you heard! Romalia still does not know truth about us The fellows that were running after the Founder’s tail for thousands of years, still do not have enough knowledge!”
Joseph brought his ear close to the doll
“That’s right! It’s like you say, Myoz! They have inforae The Ruby of Earth, the Founder‘s Censer, the Founder‘s Music Box… three parts are already ours Aye, Tristain has three too… but they do not have the infore about prophecy and Albion‘s royal family treasure, it could be worrisome Yet that lass is only interested in money and land Haha, stupid beyond help! In other words, only we have information and tools It‘s more than anyone else has”
Joseph shut his mouth
“What? Is that so?! Tristain’s user is co to be cooked! Capture it iet the Founder’s Prayer Book and the Ruby of Water, before Ros do Hurry up!”
After giving instructions to the doll, Joseph sank into the sofa
It seeht
Joseph, opened the lid of the Founder's Music Box, which was on table’s left
And… closed his eyes
After a while, the door next to his bedrooht clothes, showed up
“Your Majesty, did the guest leave?”
“Aye”
“Such a rude person, barging in, in the ht! I hate that priest! Just because they believe in the Founder and God, they think they can obstruct lovers!”
Mrs Moliere ran her hand up Joseph’s neck And combined hair in lover’s way
“Hey, Your Majesty Is it all right?”
“What?”
“You always listen to thatMaybe I should have a ood, crafty hands, who makes me nice jewels Now, look at this Godly necklace When it comes to that, he is really skillful…”
Joseph interrupted Mrs Moliere's chat with an annoyed waving
“You are i the appreciation of a beautiful experience Shut up”
“…But, I-“
“Let me listen”
On his finger… in a vivid brown color, the Ruby of Earth shone
