　I, Ninaev Fairley, am nervous and my chest is tight.

　It is today that I am going to express my opinion to Kamiko-sama. The Goddess remains the same as ever. It seems that the other people in the Great Divine Hall are also estranged from Him and are unable to express their opinions even if they have something on their minds, perhaps for fear of divine punishment. Not only that, but because there are many people of great faith in Daikokenden, the Kamiko-sama's opinion is absolute, and it is said that many of them really believe that they must not condemn what the Kamiko-sama does.

　This alone is enough to make one almost cower from going to the Lord, even if one has made up one's mind to go to the Lord to admonish him.

　A godchild is an existence that is difficult for even royalty to meddle with. A divine child. Son of God. God's beloved child. The existence of the divine child is widespread. The nation in which the Divine Son has existed has received such blessings. However, we do not know what kind of being the Son of God actually is. I don't know what I have to do to receive divine punishment, or what divine punishment is in the first place, which is probably why I am afraid to admonish the Son.

　I am a fifth princess, a fifth princess who is not particularly inconvenienced but also not free. I will eventually marry somewhere and become a pawn of my country. I will be a pawn of my country. That is all I am. There is no such freedom as being determined and accomplishing something with my own hands.

　As the fifth princess, the number of maidens serving me is small. Among them, there is only one who truly serves me. The other maidens have not been by my side since it was decided that I would admonish the godson and I would be cut off by his tantrum. I don't think the father, ......, would believe that my words would change the godson's mind. So I'm also thinking about the next assignment for the maidservants.

　He told me that only the maidservant who is by my side now will follow me all the way. That was really reassuring. If I ...... fail, I will not be alone.

　Even if your father were to cut me off, he wouldn't just throw me out like he did with the woman in question. Even if he does, I am a princess. I would have someone on my side at that time. But how many of them will be my true allies? Among them, I was really relieved that this girl said she would follow me.

　And then, I faced the Goddess.

　The priestess was in the room located at the far end of the Great Hall of the Goddess of Mercy. She had such a beautiful face that I thought it was a mistake that she was born as a commoner, just as she was reputed to be. She was so beautiful that one could not doubt that she was a princess.

　Behind her were a number of female priestesses. These women were carefully selected to take care of the divine children, and many of them have strong religious beliefs. That is why they regard the existence of the divine child as more absolute than anyone else. To protect the existence of the divine child, they do not hesitate to look at me, the princess, with a wary eye. ......

　To be honest, I am afraid of the eyes of the priests behind the priestesses. As royalty, we have had our share of malice directed at us, and we have had our share of hard times, but even without that, I feel terrible when they turn hostile like this.

He said, "It is my pleasure to meet you for the first time, Kamiko-sama. I am Ninaev Fairlie, the fifth princess of the kingdom of Fairytorov.

　She says her name and greets him.

Oh, yes. I am Alice. I am Kamiko!"

　I replied.

　She was only seven years old, three years younger than me, and a child. It was no wonder that she had lived as a commoner and had not learned manners and etiquette. But the problem is that he has no desire to learn them himself.

I know that you are a child of God. Kamiko-sama, I have a question for you, if you don't mind.

"All right!

Why don't you want to learn? I am sure that you will be making some official appearances in the future. If that is the case, there are many things you must learn, such as etiquette and the study of this country.

　As he said this, the eyes of the priests behind him sharpened. I am afraid. But I wanted to accomplish what Father had asked me to do.

You can't just not do something because you don't like it. You are here as a child of God. You are here as a child of God, and as a child you must do things that you would not have to do if you were a mere commoner. You have power, child. You are special. But that is why you must learn to ......

　Being special. It is a hardship.

　Kamiko is more special than anyone else, and has more special power than anyone else. But that is why you have to learn. What are the consequences of my actions?

'I don't want to do it, so I won't do it, and that could cause me a lot of trouble. You wouldn't want to ...... for example, if you hurt your parents because you didn't learn to do it, would you?　To prevent that from happening--"

I said, "Why, ......"

Because I don't do anything I don't want to do!　And you say they are my parents, but I am God's child, right?　They say it doesn't matter what I do, it doesn't matter what I do!

You're bothering me!　Do you think you can talk to me like that?　If you talk to me like that, you will be punished by God!

　I tried my best to tell him, but he didn't get the message.

　I wondered if the priests at the Grand Shrine had continued to tell the goddess that she could do whatever she wanted because she was a child of the gods. In the case of this Kamiko-sama, it may have something to do with the environment in which she was raised. I wonder how the priest grew up in the village where he was born and raised.

　I don't think there is a shred of thought that he doesn't want someone to get hurt just because he is being punished by the gods. Seeing a godchild like that makes me shudder to think of what this country is going through.

Do you really think you can talk like that to Kamiko-sama, even though she is a princess?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I beg you to leave."

So, please give us your blessing.

　 I think that if I didn't do something like let him go away from the Great Divine Hall once and throw him out to a place where no one is on his side, that thing would not be able to be dealt with. But no one is willing to do that because of the possibility of divine punishment.

This country. I like this country, but it may be ...... ruined. I think that one word from Kamiko-sama and it will be a country that will be shaken.

　If I still have a chance to meet Kamiko-sama, I would like to exchange words with him as many times as I can, that is, until he is convinced. But I will not be able to see you again. I will report to your father that I have offended him, and I will not be able to stay in ...... King's Landing. A being that has antagonized the Kamiko is nothing but an enemy to the king's people as well.
