520 - - Art. 50 The Intentions Of Parent And Child
As the warm March winds continued to blow gently, a certain strange scene appeared in Aphrodite, the capital of the New Crimiana cult. The main street, which usually seems to be illuminated from a distance because of the congregation wearing uniform white clothes, is dotted with colors such as red, blue, and yellow ......, making the street look dirty at first glance. This is due to the colors of the clothes worn by the visitors to the "conference" being held here, and the primary-colored costumes they wear disrupt the white uniformity of the cityscape.
There is a reason for this. The people wearing dark primary-colored costumes belonged to a country or group that had a grudge against this country due to the interference of the Crimiana cult in the past. They were wearing different colors, and as loudly and darkly as possible, in opposition to the Crimiana, whose national and cult color is white. This was to show their small resistance, but actually, looking down from the papal temple where Vieille resided, their costumes looked as if they were defiling Aphrodite, which they considered as the Holy City. Not a few cardinals expressed their displeasure at this sight.
However, Vieille took no notice of such things, and was nonchalantly checking the progress of the preparations for the conference. He smiled broadly when he confirmed that the security system had been fully prepared, and that no water had been spilled.
Off the coast of Aphrodite, many ships were crowded together. Among them, two large ships were slowly heading toward the harbor. The flags on the ships indicate that they belong to the empire of Heedata and the kingdom of Hradime.
The Hladime ship is in the lead. The Heedata ships are moving leisurely behind them. The people cannot help but take notice of this scene, as if the Fladimet is guiding the Heedata along the way.
Ah, I see the Aphrodite. It looks like she will be arriving soon.
"You're early."
The one who opens her mouth while shielding her hands from the glare of the sun is Meirias, one of the queens of King Agartha. She looks at Aphrodite with a nostalgic expression on her face.
The man standing beside her with a puzzled expression on his face is, to my surprise, the Great High King Ribone of the Kingdom of Hradime. He, too, was looking at Aphrodite in the same way as May, but his expression clearly showed his frustration.
Meanwhile, on the ship of the Kingdom of Hradime, King Maintia, the king, was looking at Aphrodite approaching in front of him with a good mood on his face. Behind him, a small child was running around on the deck.
"We're almost there!"
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard. King Maintia quickly looked over. There was Linos, King of Agartha. And next to him, a woman with green hair ....... Considie, one of the princesses, was standing next to him.
A child who had just been running around comes running to them as if he were jumping into the air. A girl with tight naturally permed green hair ....... It was Piatoris, the daughter born to Linos and Considine. Llinos picks up the girl with great care.
"Daddy. I can't find her at all!"
Piatoris looks around with a scurry, holding on to her father's shoulder as he picks her up. King Maintia quietly approaches Linos and the others.
"Still can't you find him? He's a big man, this late son. I'm sure we'll find him soon.
King Maintia looks around with a smile on his face.
"I don't think you'll find him in a hurry. Sadie?"
It was Linos who opened his mouth. He nodded, looking at the considee next to him. Then they heard a loud voice above them.
"Father!
"Oh, Mr. Onsar, I found it!"
Piatoris points in the wrong direction. From there, he saw a large barrel with a child's head sticking out of it. This was Onsar, the son of the king of Maintia.
I see, he was hiding in the big barrel. That makes it hard to find him..."
"Father, I can't ...... get out. Please help me."
"He's a hard man to please. But it's better to do it than not. It's an experience.
As soon as King Maintia pulled Onsar out of the barrel, the ship slowly turned around as if that was a signal.
"I didn't expect the trip to be so smooth, by the way. I'm sure the conference here will be a great success."
Looking at Aphrodite approaching before his eyes, King Maintia mutters to no one in particular.
"Everything is ...... going well. I didn't expect them to ambush our ship, though.
At Linos' words, the king of Maintia looks surprised.
"What are you talking about? It's just a coincidence.
Linos looks at King Maentia with a suspicious look on his face. He had not been informed of the date of Linos and his group's departure from Aphrodite, nor had he been told that they would be traveling on a ship of the Heedata Empire, as before. At first, Linos and his friends had planned to go to Vieille by using the transfer boundary. However, he decided to travel by boat after listening to the pleas of Piatrice and Sidie who wanted to take a ride on a boat. This decision was made partly because he thought that he could concentrate on his presentation at the conference since he would be busy with various tasks at the residence. The decision was made just before their departure, but the Heedata Empire welcomed Linos and his crew aboard the ship. However, their leisurely cruise suddenly took a sudden turn three days ago. To their surprise, a ship appeared in front of the ship on which Linos and his crew were boarding. It was the ship of the Hradime Kingdom.
"No, we are glad to have met you. After all, it is nothing but a pain to have to spend time with my father in such a small ship.
King Maintia laughs as he says this. In fact, as soon as the Great High King found Linos and the others, he laid the ship alongside and climbed on board himself. When he found Mei, he talked to her and did not return to his ship. Furthermore, the Great High King, on the advice of Duke Vyrus of the Hereditary Empire who was on board, stayed on the Hereditary ship. As expected, he did not intrude into the bedroom, but he spent the night talking with Chi-wan of Posehay, who was on the same ship with him, until late at night.
The Great High King's intellectual curiosity was tremendous, and he always pestered Linos and the others with questions. Rinos and Sidhi were so overwhelmed by his power that they gave up early. Then they were approached by King Maintia. He invited them to come with him. Feeling bad for May, Linos and Sidi took Pia and moved to Hradime's ship. There they found Onsar, the son of the king of Maintia.
Linos was surprised, thinking that he was living in the city of Agartha, but King Maintia laughed as if nothing had happened, saying that his son would accompany him for his future studies. The timing of the meeting was so good that Rinos thought that King Maintia and the Great High King had arranged the meeting.
The Great High King who wanted to talk with Mei, and the King of Maintia who wanted to get away from the Great High King and at the same time bring his sons Onsar and Piatoris closer and eventually have them marry. Although they did not agree to this, it turned out to be exactly what this father and son wanted.
The two ships, carrying such mixed feelings, slowly entered the harbor. .......
