507 Episode 128: Brother and brother sailing

A few days after the events in the kingdom of Saint Krand.

Prince Eshar's study abroad at St. Meir's School was announced.

The apparent reason is to prepare under cooperation with Meernet.

King Abrams valued this organization, knowing that its philosophy was to "save the people of the continent from hunger", a framework that went beyond the country of Meannett. Sankland also issued a policy that it should actively cooperate.

To demonstrate his support for Meernet, the King thought of having Second Prince Eshar study in the Tier Moon Empire and participate in Meernet's work.

Initially, the announcement was embraced with confusion by the conservative nobles who were trying to attract Eshar, but the king's determination was firm and could not be overturned.

In addition, the engagement with Emeralda, the Duchess of Green Moon, was postponed, and there was some dissatisfaction, but it was held up by Uncle Lampron and the Prime Ministers.

Thus, to be pursued by something, Eshar traveled to the Empire in a Green Moon carriage.

Eshar looks back on the Kingdom of Saint Crand in a carriage. Emeralda talks kindly to him like that.

"I will take you back to Sankland soon. You'll miss it for a while, but you don't have to think too much about it."

If he were a boy of this age, he would have missed his parents... but Eshal shook his head small.

"No.... Don't worry about it. I'm not going back to Sankland either. I have something to do."

With a hard expression, Eschar said.

"... because I have to make amends..."

That's how Eschar stared at me with his very adult eyes.

"For that, I will take care of you. Mr. Emeralda."

That's what Emeralda looks like... something terribly painful...

That's why

"That's not true. That's not true, Your Highness."

Make it look negative with a clear tone. Shake his head wide and deny Eshar's words.

"Your Highness, you are... already forgiven."

"Eh...?

Emeralda smiles gently at the young prince who leans his neck.

"Even if you don't think of it like that, you won't be tried anymore. I mean, isn't it? Who can execute you? From now on, I will bring you back and bring you to justice before the people of Sankland... and I will not allow that. Besides, my best friend Meer can't forgive me for that."

While saying so, Emeralda thinks.

That's right... Eshar is practically allowed already.

While granting him a respite, he will certainly not be held accountable for his past sins for failing to do much in the future.

Meer can't forgive such pain.

By the time Eshar arrived in that room that day, he would never have been brought to justice.

"But... but then, I..."

As if she had lost her way, Eschar shakes her eyes anxiously. Emeralda told him to show him a new way.

"Lord Eshar, you will not be judged. That's why you shouldn't live like that, in fear, confusion, or anxiety to achieve merit. You... should live as the forgiven."

"Forgiver...?

"That's right. Meer and His Majesty Abram and His Majesty Zion have already forgiven you. Didn't Lord Theon send you\ 36112; at his own risk like that? That's not for sinners who commit crimes and await justice. I forgive you, and I look forward to your future steps. Then you deserve to live as the forgiven one... shouldn't you?

It is in my mouth and I think it is again. I could tell by thinking about it a little.

Does it ever force such a cruel life for Meer to just live to make amends for past mistakes? That kind Meer can't forgive that.

If so... how should we live?

And how should I raise him when I'm entrusted with Eshar...?

Emeralda thinks and teaches.

"Lord Eshar, you should live with the pride that Meer saved you."

"Proud....."

"Yes, that's right. I feel guilty, afraid of execution, and stand there... such an appeased way of life is not worthy of Meer's salvation. You should learn more about Meer and live with dignity and chest. Beyond that, a true feat can be built, I think."

Emeralda thinks that this is the way her husband deserves to live. Her demands on her husband are as high as ever.

"And I certainly support you in living like that, Meer. I'm here to support you."

To Emeralda, who gripped Eschar's hands tightly and argued, Eschar

"Ah, um... thank you..."

I was going to say it smelled a little.

Theon came to Abram after he had dropped off his carriage.

"Excuse me. Father, I wanted to talk to you."

"Oh, Theon. What's the matter with you?

Abrams was completely free from the effects of the poison, but he was away from official duties, following the advice of the medical officer that he should rest for ten days.

Sitting loosely on the chair, Sion turned a straight line of sight to Abram, who was reading a book....

"I've been thinking about Eshar this time. I'd love to hear that from my father."

Abram quietly turned his eyes towards Theon... and gently closed the book.

"Let's hear it."

As soon as that happens, Theon feels like he's going to be under pressure.

The air of Abraham changed from father to king.

To reduce tension, Theon takes a big breath and exhales....

"Your Majesty... I want to be a person..."

I spoke quietly.

What is necessary for a fair trial. It is to exclude any personal affection. Judging Eshar not as his brother, but just as a sinner, was what Theon was expected of him at that time.

Once upon a time, Theon took it for granted. It's my duty as king. I thought it would be natural for him to assume a heavy royalty.

But Theon knew. I am far from perfect.

There is a lack of justice and fairness in my present self. So what do we do?

Just to live as an executor of justice, do you completely abandon your feelings... or...?

After trouble, Theon gave an answer. That's....

"People make mistakes... and want to be king of people who know that."

That's Sion's answer.

"If even a king makes a mistake... will you rule the country as the king who admits it..."

Theon nods small in that word.

"Doesn't that mean that people rule over people...?

"Really... That's what you think, the shape of Sankland...."

And Abram sighed deeply, and meditated, in the words of Zion.

Eventually, his eyes will open and he will capture Theon straight.

"Then, Theon. Create a mechanism to correct the king's mistakes."

Severe words were thrown at Zion.

"How do I correct my mistakes?

"That's right. If the King is the one who makes mistakes, if he wants to be, then fairness must be preserved by the mechanism that makes those mistakes."

"What does that look like...?

Abraham's answer to the question was tough.

Well then. It will be your job to think about it. As a person, you should think about it while getting advice from your loved ones. "

Ha, and then Sion droops quietly.

"Thank goodness for your good friend. Theon"

And Zion nodded slowly,

"Yes... I met an irreplaceable companion..."

I had a gentle smile on my face.

That night, Abraham had a time to whisper with the queen.

Celebrate Theon's growth and wish Eshar a safe journey.
