235 - - 第二百三十五话 名君とバカ殿
This book has already exceeded 1000 volumes, and now at last the 1007th volume has been placed in the bookshelf by the present Pope, Jouvancel Sain. The title of the book, bound in brand new paper, is <>. It is a country that was founded in the last few years, and its national power, military power, technological power, etc. have been rapidly improving, and it is a country that has become so substantial that the Church of Crimiana cannot leave it behind. On the first page of the document, the Pope\'s handwritten inscription reads as follows
Ruler: Bartham Darke Linos (male)
Character description: A minion of the evil gods. Or itself. Avenger of the whole world.
The story would make Linos laugh if he could read it. In other words, this is a history of each country in the world, a book that contains detailed information gathered by the world\'s largest information network of Klimiana. This is part of the strength of the Church of the Crimiana, and successive popes and other leaders have written down the events that occurred in their countries, such as the fall and accession of kings, their marriages and births, rebellions and disasters, and when new countries were born, they created new books and passed on the information to the next generation. In other words, this is a database that has been created with a great deal of time and effort.
Among the many countries that have been established or destroyed, the most underrated ruler was Rinos. He is by far the lowest. Needless to say, the reason for this is obvious, but on the other hand, there was another ruler who was rated just as low as Rinos. He is King Maintia of the Kingdom of Hradime. His evaluation was as follows.
Ruler: Hradime Loscano Maintia (male)
Character Description: A born fool. Unconscionable. A pedophile and an illiterate.
The Kingdom of Hradime is five days by boat and two days on foot from Agartha, the home of the Linos. Although surrounded by sea and mountains, its territory is vast and the food it produces is abundant. The people are well educated and, unusually for this part of the world, there is even a school for people of any status. In spite of this, the king of this country had the worst reputation among the Church.
The reason for this is that it was the former king, Hradime Roscano Reborn, who led the country to this level of prosperity, and his son, the current king, has done almost nothing.
King Maintia, who is 26 years old this year, devotes his days to his hobbies. He had three main hobbies: women, art, and gastronomy.
In other words, he spent his days flirting with women, painting his favorite pictures, and eating delicious food in between. This neglected the affairs of government, and the former king, the Great High King Libourne, who could not stand the sight of him, once again took charge of the government and maintained the country in spite of his retirement from office.
The corruption of the king was deeply troubling to the Great High King. He was a man of rare fame, a man of hardship who had overcome many hardships from his childhood to achieve the prosperity he enjoys today. As a man who knew more than anyone else the horror of people and the importance of how to deal with them, he could not stand his son\'s debauchery.
He is corrupt now, but as a child he was bright and had a bright future ahead of him. His retainers, including the King Daejo, had tried many times to change his mind, but all their efforts had come to naught. Unfortunately, the present king was the only child of King Ohjo and had no other successor. They even considered adopting a son from another country, but his loyal advisors admonished them firmly and suggested that he should be enthroned as king so that he would have a sense of responsibility, but his debauchery showed no sign of abating.
On the contrary, immediately after his accession to the throne, he took one woman after another into his palace, and in the eight years since his accession to the throne, the number has exceeded 50. If the women he took into his palace had been daughters of royalty or nobility with good backgrounds, he would have been able to put up with them. However, he had his hands on all the maidens who served the wives of the royalty and nobility at random.
"No, no, no, my king, please forgive me."
"Good, good, good! Come on, come on, come on."
It sounds like something out of a period drama, but such scenes were a common occurrence in the castle of Alyson. Whenever the king found a woman he liked, he grabbed her hand and dragged her to his room. The number of children born to these women had grown to over 70.
All of the women, including his own wife, lived in the castle of Alysne, which could be called a woman\'s castle. There were always women with big bellies walking around, and children who looked like King Maintia were playing here and there.
Moreover, in a castle where women are crowded together, jealousy and resentment can build up. Some of the chambermaids developed hysteria, and some women became delirious at the mere sound of a door being opened. King Maintia was an energetic and unparalleled lover of women, but on the other hand, he was also a feminist.
"Then, why don\'t you put cotton on the door?
Thanks to this, the door was quieted, but on the contrary, he was subjected to a rain of complaints from the Great High King.
But even these words did not reach him. And to top it all off, he requested that a room for mentally ill women and a place for their children to play be built in a part of the grounds where the King resided. The Great Sage King finally lost his patience.
My grandson is the son of a proud knight.
As soon as he made this declaration, he immediately gathered his army and wizards in the stable across from the castle where the Maintian king lived, and from early morning until dusk, they conducted fierce firepower exercises that made a roaring sound.
The relationship between the King of the Great Gods and his son, King Maintia, was now broken beyond repair.
The Great King was troubled. If things continued as they were, the kingdom would collapse in the not-too-distant future after his death. He had no idea how it had come to this. After much deliberation, a man\'s name came to his mind.
Linos, King of Agartha.
In just a few short years, he had not only restored the disordered kingdom of Juka, but with his extraordinary skills, he had also led the eradication of the Cirithrae and Rulointh, the epidemics of unknown origin that had afflicted the human race the most. Not only that, he was the man who stood up to the most feared religion in the world, the Crimean Church, and its followers, and finally repelled their interference.
The Kingdom of Hladime, which had previously embraced and supported the Crimean Church, was rapidly growing apart from it since the accession of its son to the throne. On the other hand, the scholarly King Tauejo agreed to Linos\' proposal to establish a research institute for the eradication of contagious diseases by a group of volunteer nations, and sent researchers to the institute. Just three months later, the presentation of the research was scheduled to take place.
"...... Let\'s consult the King of Agartha."
With a face like a bitterness-stricken child, the Great High King murmured. I am already old. I have only a few years left to live. I want to make sure of the future of this country while my eyes are still black. He acted quickly.
"Call the Prime Minister Ausay!"
He summoned the Prime Minister and told him that he would attend a research presentation to be held at a medical research institute in Agartha in three months\' time, and that he would also bring the current King Maintia there. It would be a dangerous journey that would surely result in the death of the country if the King and the King were to be attacked. However, the King had a hunch that going to Agartha, even at that risk, would lead to a solution to the current problems. Perhaps he or his queen might know something that would improve his son. It was an unsubstantiated speculation, but the Great King chose to bet on his intuition.
He ordered his viziers to take all possible measures for the security of the road, and immediately wrote to Linos, King of Agartha.
<
It may seem a little too respectful, but we can\'t afford to be too casual about it. He put the letter in an envelope, heavily beeswaxed it, and had a messenger deliver it to Linos.
The Great High King stared sharply at the castle of Alysun from the window of his retreat.
