chapter 204
204 – Part 2, Episode 32, Seems like meddling or not.
Cain was sighing, so I sat down next to him, wondering if he could give me some advice.
Cain didn’t seem to have anything to worry about, so I was worried about how hard it was for him to sit in the chapel and sigh.
Ah, I can’t call it a child… it has grown too much in the past two years to the point where it’s hard to call it a child…
Anyway, he’s only 14 years old, so he’s probably a kid.
“What happened? Or is someone bothering you?”
“No… it’s not like that…”
“Then why are you doing this? Is it true that you found someone you like?”
“Uh….Ugh….”
Sure enough, Cain seems very embarrassed and stutters, unable to continue speaking.
It seems like there’s someone I really like.
Wow… he’s only 14 years old.
I was thinking that it would be okay to listen to Etheria’s intentions and join Cain when I was old enough, but it turned out sooner than I thought.
But who do you like?
Could it be Etheria?
I asked Cain while poking his side, and he gradually lowered his face.
Then Cain’s face turned red and he finally nodded.
really?
Cain fell in love with Etheria?
Since when?!
“Well… ever since your Majesty brought up the topic of marriage with Lady Etheria…”
I’m embarrassed, but I have to say what I have to say.
Cain slowly spoke to me in the sound of an ant crawling.
“Could it be that you became conscious of what I said?”
He was silent again and nodded.
It seems that I was the reason why Cain became aware of Etheria.
Well… men are just like that.
Even if you don’t think about it at first, when you start to become conscious of it, you may fall in love.
Should I say that I am also Stella’s past life…?
Anyway, even when he was Jinwang in his previous life, I fell in love with the way he hugged me so casually.
It was the same in this life as well.
I didn’t know the root cause, but the almost infinite love he gave me made me fall in love with him.
Men are very easy creatures.
Something as small as a word or an action can change your mind.
“So you were thinking about it in the chapel…”
“What should I do…”
“Can’t I just go ahead and say I like him? After all, there’s only a three-year age difference between you and Etheria, right?”
Etheria is now 18 years old.
There is only a 4 year difference between me and Cain, and there is only a 4 year difference between me and Cain.
That age difference is not a big deal in this world.
Since we both have jobs as priests, aren’t we enough to make a living?
“Well… that… I’m embarrassed…”
“Could it be that you are hesitant because of your origins in Etheria?”
“…There is something like that.”
Etheria is the royal family of a small country.
Because he became a monk, he is no longer royal and has no right to succeed to the throne, but he is not kicked out.
I receive letters three to four times a month from my parents, who are both king and queen, and I have a very good relationship with my younger brother, who is the crown prince.
Cain, who was an orphan and came from a slum, had a completely different status, so it was understandable that he hesitated.
However, the denominational bureau is different.
There is no status, everyone is equal.
Of course, the saint is an exception.
Anyway, as long as you are in the Church Bureau, there is no need to worry.
If we like each other, the church will bless us and defend us as much as possible.

After I finished counseling Cain about his concerns, I consulted with Stella.
She was thinking deeply while breastfeeding Luna, and her appearance looked very similar to Luna, who was concentrating on breastfeeding, so she burst out laughing.
Concentrating is exactly the same…
They’re both so cute I’m dying
“I thought Cain’s eyes had changed a bit recently… but I didn’t know he liked Etheria.”
“I think your eyes changed even before you started liking Etheria.”
Cain was definitely a small kid.
But in just two years, he grew taller than me, gained weight, and became bulky.
Should I say that it feels like seeing a junior in school who is taller than you?
It’s a situation where you feel like you’ve lost something and feel inferior.
“Did you?”
“Well… Stella was busy.”
“Hehe, I guess Luna is the busiest.”
That’s right.
There is probably no one busier than Luna in our house right now.
I have to eat and play.
Lately, it seems like he’s been giving quite a few orders to the teddy bear spirit.
This must be subordinate number 1.
However, I cautioned against any requests that were too dangerous or asked to be taken outside.
“Whenever we talk about anything, we move on to talking about Luna.”
“I see. Is it because it’s your first child?”
We laughed bitterly at the same time.
At that time, Luna seemed to be full and took her mouth off Stella’s nipple.
“My daughter~ Was it delicious?”
“Boo!”
My daughter answered loudly that it was delicious and hugged her mother.
Sister Stella also stood up and started patting Luna on the back.
Meanwhile, Stella’s face is worried.
Even after thinking about it, nothing seems to come to mind.
“Hmm… I don’t really know what boys that age want.”
“Me too.”
We have no way of knowing.
Before we met, neither of us had ever been interested in the opposite s*x…
Like Cain, I have never had to worry about my status.
Hmm…it’s difficult as expected.
Did I give him relationship advice for no reason?
***
In the case of Stella and I, we couldn’t help Cain.
So, while looking for people who could help, Dave and Eri came to mind.
These two are a love marriage, right?
Even though Dave left first to become a priest, we have never been apart from each other for more than a year.
They had a close relationship and ended up getting married.
And since he is close to Cain, he will be able to give him plenty of advice.
“Hey, Dave.”
“Why are you doing that…Elvin…”
Dave is rolling on the ground, exhausted.
Even on my days off, I am diligently learning swordsmanship from the knight commander and vice-captain.
It’s nice to see that you’re working really hard…
It’s just a bitter laugh that this guy doesn’t improve his sword skills no matter how much he trains.
I wouldn’t have known it before, but now that I can judge swordsmanship, I can see Dave’s skills at a glance.
That must be how enormous the power of the Jin King is.
I picked up the wooden sword lying on the floor and held it in one hand.
In the past, I would have held it with both hands and swung it, but now one hand is enough.
He raised the wooden sword up to the tip of his shoulder and struck it down strongly.
Papang!!
The radius was not large and the weight was not heavy, but when I hit the wooden sword, it exploded with a loud noise and a sonic boom occurred.
The wooden sword that exploded was turned into powder without even a trace and became part of the yard.
Dave just opened his mouth wide when he saw the action.
At the same time, the knight commander and vice-captain were looking at him with their mouths wide open as if they were dumbfounded.
“Use… the power is a bit weak.”
As expected, my skills haven’t fully returned.
I could still see the wooden sword turning into powder.
Before, if you swung a wooden sword like this once, it would burn up due to friction, leaving not even powder behind.
The only thing I could wield was a black holy sword.
“That power is… weak?”
“Of course, I can’t be satisfied with just this much strength coming back.”
“…How strong was he when he was the Jin King…?”
“With one swing of the sword, a mountain could be blown down.”
Did the mountain blow away?
If you throw a sword into the sea, the sea splits and a tsunami occurs.
That’s what a hero is.
Destroying an unreasonable being with unreasonable power…
Well, consulting about Cain is more important than that right now.
I held out my hand to Dave, so he took it and stood up, shaking the dirt off his knees.
“You really seem to become stranger as time passes…”
“You’re probably the only one who tells your friends right in front of you that you’re unfamiliar with them.”
I’m so unfamiliar with my powers right now, right?
*
Afterwards, Dave, who was covered in dirt, washed up and came to the living room.
After confirming that Cain was not around, I secretly told Dave about the concerns I had heard from Cain.
“Cain is old enough to do that…”
“What do you think?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay? Wouldn’t it be better to ask Etheria first rather than me?”
Dave spits out a truth that is surprisingly obvious.
This guy is surprisingly serious in this regard, unlike his usual light-hearted appearance, and doesn’t just say the obvious…
Will Etheria and Cain get along when people around Etheria feel it?
Of course, there is no point in arguing with us as third parties, and Etheria is the only being that can accept Cain’s heart.
“At least you should be sure and then ask Etheria. Otherwise, I feel sorry for Cain.”
“Well… isn’t it okay? I think it actually suits you well.”
“right?”
“Etheria finds Cain cute… I saw you two sitting on the sofa and talking, right?”
“Huh? Cain in the living room?”
“You often come out with your younger sisters.
Cain lived with his younger sister, so he rarely spent time in the living room.
I guess I hear it often when I’m not in the living room.
