With that, they leave the busy king and step out of the office. Going by the king suggestions, they thought to rest in the castle for awhile but
"Let just check the orphanage first" [Alfin]
"True, we can ascertain if anyone from the church have try to do something funny to Mother Theresia while also ask about any rumour that the commoner think about us" [Azumi]
"Yes, then we can go shopping for the magic core enhancement" [Alfin]
"After all that have happen, I really look forward for this shopping spree of you" [Azumi]
"Master, I want more sweet!" [Fizumi]
"Same here, I also want some sweet" [Aqua]
"Sure, let me thanks you for making that guy kneel" [Azumi]
"Still, Is that really how a royalty will behave with each other?" [Aqua]
"Political stuff, let just save it for next time so that we can properly rest" [Azumi]
"Agree" [Alfin]
"If you guys said so" [Aqua]
Aqua said that, knowing that they just come back after a long trip and that they really need some good rest. She also manage to catch a slight tone from Alfin that she interpret as rather not discuss this thing if possible.
With the both of them quickly went out (with Azumi wanting to avoid the long annoying sermon from Kniaz mother), they pass through the castle gate. The guard offer to drive the carriage for Alfin but she refused as this isn't really a official visit. With that, the two of them walk around leisurely. Along the way, they hear rumour here and there especially regarding the recent events happening in Mesembryanthemum
"Is it true that The Water and Ice Spirit Mahsuri blessed Princess Alfin?"
"Don't you hear what the church said, those two have always defiled the teaching of the god. Surely that must be a warning sign for us"
"But I heard that Ishmelga awakening is real! Surely Mahsuri will help the Princess. Plus she is a nice person"
"That's all just a political drama. She can't help but to do all that so that she can take the throne from it's rightful owner Prince Kniaz"
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"True, a woman like her aren't good enough to lead us all"
"Plus, she is a sinner who help those filthy non human"
"BULLSHIT"
"Huh what is that!"
"For me, both the princess and the hero are far better person than the other noble, she actually care about us rather than those leeches"
"Like I said, that's all a drama"
"Then how do you explain the subjugation of the lion lich raja five years ago, wasn't the church remain silent throughout those period, not to mention how the both of them give us a commoner a chance to finally received education plus the ban of slavery was largely thanks to the princess!"
"But at the end of the day, she is a woman and she defile the church teaching, purposely helping out those non human"
"Don't you hear her argument? Even the higher up from the church still can't argue with her about how the holy book have been changed throughout the history by the holy kingdom of Aster to gain support"
"Surely there is a reason for that, the church would never lie about such a thing!"
The argument keep on continuing without them realising that the person that they are currently discussing are walking right Infront of them thanks to the barrier of ignorance being erected by Azumi and Fizumi. They walk around slowly as to gather information and see the commoner perspective regarding the recent events
"Looks like thing haven't changed that much" [Azumi]
"But I am happy that there are people that can see beyond the traditional things. How they manage to see that education is important and how the church have been swindle around the holy book" [Alfin]
"True, just goes to show that your effort have started to bear some fruit" [Azumi]
"I wonder if it's possible for me to send a message to the masses from time to time eventhough I am not there?" [Alfin]
"And why do you suddenly think of that?" [Azumi]
"Well, if I can do that, the people perspective can easily be changed into something more positive as they are gradually expose to things like important of education" [Alfin]
"I see now, well we just have to brainstorm a little bit plus we can always get the idea in the most unexpected place" [Azumi]
"True enough" [Alfin]
With the chatting between them having come to an end, they see a familiar carriage Infront of the orphanage. It is the carriage of the royal family as there are crest of the royal family in it. Seeing this, they knew who is the one that's currently inside
