chapter 59
59 – Interlude: The Aucklia Royal Family
Reina started the morning with a fairy prank that has become a daily routine.
After a while, Amelia came in, helped her get dressed, and began a brief chat about the day’s agenda.
Amelia asked if she would meet the hero today, but Rayna shut her mouth with a little hesitation.
Isn’t it annoying to visit every day?
With that thought in mind, she couldn’t take any hasty action.
“The writer is a kind person, so he won’t mind.”
“….”
I know he is that kind of person.
But I’m not okay.
Reina let out a sigh and pressed her hand gently against her own chest.
The hero has a corner where he sometimes says the wrong things, but he is a quick-witted person.
If you go around the festival together like this every day, you might notice your favor.
So she kept hesitating.
Because if he got to know his mind now, he was certain that he would be rejected for some reason.
He doesn’t seem to be very interested in the opposite s*x, but the one he’s interested in the most right now must be Angelica.
Raina let out a sigh as she thought of Angelica.
‘Anje unnie… Because she’s a beauty.’
Reina glanced at her reflection in her mirror.
Obviously not small.
But compared to Angelica, she feels intimidated.
“Where did you visit yesterday?”
“I went to the writer’s house yesterday.”
“How are you?”
Amelia looked at Rayna with a slightly teasing look.
But Reina let out a sigh and just shook her head.
Amelia somehow seems to be down on Rayna today and she is starting to get a little worried about her.
“A smile suits Reina the best.”
“Thanks, Amy.”
She seems to have caused some concern.
Reina let out a small sigh one last time and decided to change her mood.
“Are there any oddities?”
Reina checked her hair in her mirror and she stood up from her seat with her thank you.
Soon it was time for her family to gather for breakfast.
Reina and Amy headed to her restaurant, where all of her family had already gathered except herself.
Reina still thinks that morning is early for everyone, and she sits down.
“Today, too, I express my gratitude to the Creator God who gave me this sacrament. Creator God, thank you for bringing spring to Oklea.”
Starting with Albert’s prayer, breakfast begins as usual.
I thought so, but the atmosphere felt different today.
“Are you okay, honey?”
“I don’t have a very busy job today, so I need to take a break.”
“Good idea. Is there anything I can do to help?”
“It’s okay, Stella.”
‘Did you catch a cold?’
Albert’s eyes were layered with fatigue.
“Are you okay?”
“Don’t worry. My father is just a little sleep deprived.”
I see.
Perhaps you were busy reading the sports data you brought yesterday.
Reina came to that conclusion and tried to resume her meal, but her eyes met Damian’s, who was looking at her with a strange expression.
“Why?”
“Raina, maybe you will have a younger sister?”
“Your brother?”
Why did my brother suddenly….
“Wow!”
Reina, noticing Damian’s joke, lowered her head, feeling the heat of anger running down her face.
Such a manly joke since morning!
“Ha ha.”
Albert let out a sigh, tired of his son’s words.
“I just couldn’t sleep at night looking at the data Lord Bright brought me.”
‘Half correct, half wrong.’
Damian studied the expressions on her father and mother’s face and she came to that conclusion.
“You said it was about sports, can I ask what it was about?”
When Damian asked that, Albert put down the tableware and wiped his mouth as if he had waited for this situation.
“They say it’s a popular pastime in the world of Lord Bright. It’s a game with a ball.”
“Are you talking about the kids playing ball?”
“Yes. It is said that competitions with specific rules attached to them are called sports.”
You mean that upright father stayed up all night for entertainment?
Damian looked at Albert with a slightly complicated expression, then moved his gaze to the front when he felt Raina’s gaze.
“What’s up?”
“No, it’s a bit awkward since he uses such formal language….”
“Me too.”
But I had to do it now.
Since most of Aucklia’s problems had been resolved, Damian had to prepare for his succession to the throne.
“Have you read all the materials?”
“Yes. That’s a pretty good offer.”
“Isn’t it?”
Reina put strength on her shoulders as if she had been praised herself.
“Oh my God?”
“Ugh, ugh…” .”
Reina blushed as she felt Stella’s teasing stare and she quietly resumed her meal.
She couldn’t speak because she had food in her mouth, so she was a silent protest not to talk to her.
The Aucklea royal family started the day in such a warm atmosphere.
***
After breakfast, Damian took out the sports materials brought by the servant.
‘What is this….’
It was said to be information about sports, but it is almost like a novel.
Surely, you would have had to stay up all night to see this amount.
Damian started reading his sport, remembering the hero scratching the back of his head for being too much.
‘Let’s see….’
– About sports for the future of Aucklea –
Auklia is currently in a situation where it has solved the minimum amount of food, clothing and shelter.
However, there are many problems in Oaklia that the winters are still cold and trade and industry are difficult to develop.
Therefore, present joy can lead to disappointment at any moment.
There is no way that the people who survived even the harsh winter of Oaklia would do that!
A current citizen of Aucklia might think so.
But what about future generations born from now?
A new generation of people born in the spring without having to go through Oaklia’s harshest winter.
They don’t compare their lives to an Oaklea winter.
You will be comparing the lives of other people living in other countries.
There is a high possibility that future generations will suffer from a sense of relative deprivation through him.
If that happens, you might leave your homeland, Oklia, and leave for another country.
Aucklia needs to relieve the sense of relative deprivation that this future generation will experience and instill awareness that Aucklia is special.
In addition to that, I think we need a device to solve the problem that comes from the difference in values caused by rapid development.
I think the problems coming to Aucklia can be solved with theme parks and sports.
First of all, it is a theme park.
Unlike agriculture, theme parks have great growth potential.
Aucklea needs to make bold investments in the tourism industry for its continued growth.
(Omitted)
The generational conflict between the old generation and the new generation arises from rapid social change.
It can be said that this is the current situation of Oaklia.
This generational conflict causes many social problems, and the way to reduce it is to understand and care about each other.
In order to increase understanding and interest in each other, common interests are needed.
This is where sports come into play.
(Short cut)
……
…
While reading the proposal written by the warrior, Damian jumped up from his seat and went to visit his father.
Albert seemed to have known that Damian would come and greeted him calmly.
“Looking at that expression, you must have realized something.”
“… Yes, Father.”
“I think Bright Gong wrote the proposal simply to emphasize the necessity of the sport.”
However, the contents contained in it were not so light.
“It was late at night, but this father called the chancellor. The chancellor looked at her in pain, but as soon as she saw the proposal, her eyes lit up.”
Sports, a new type of entertainment like novels and cartoons.
But the content inside was profound.
“Side effects of rapid social change. Suggest a way to get rid of him. A national industry capable of sustained growth.”
Albert let out a sigh of admiration.
“My heart was so full that I couldn’t sleep.”
Albert smiled softly.
“I don’t think the scholars who taught me at Elvens have this kind of insight.”
I thought he was just a friend because he was the same age, but in fact, he felt like a wise man over 100 years old.
Damian was shocked as if he found out that the motive he used to be like a friend was actually a battalion commander.
He had goosebumps all over his body.
“This is the plot of a novel that Lord Bright is writing.”
Albert handed Damian a new bundle of papers to read on this spot.
“Excuse me.”
Damian quickly began reading the bundle of papers Albert had handed him.
And before long, he realized why his father handed him this bundle of papers.
‘With this, the issue of succession to the throne will be resolved….’
In the plot of Lady Volume 7, it was written that the sport originated from the crown prince of Ocklvia.
If volume 7 were to be published as it is, it would be known that sports originated with Damian.
Damian did not have a clear track record compared to Prince Albert.
If this performance catches up with the car, those who question his succession to the throne will disappear.
“I think Prince Bright must have noticed the rumors floating around.”
“Yes….”
Auchlia had higher expectations for its king than other countries.
Because the place was too barren for people to live, the role of the king was very important.
The reason Damian became a free spirit was to escape from this burden.
Then a writer named Bright appeared.
He may have a problem with his lineage, but his ability was second to none.
And coincidentally, the Ochlia royal family has a daughter.
When Bright marries a daughter of the royal family of Aucklia, the royal lineage is also preserved.
And Oklia will face a new period of revival.
In the world, such a story was secretly floating around.
“Son. This father figured that if Prince Bright wanted the throne, he would have to give it to him, even if it was for the sake of the people.”
Damian couldn’t say anything and just shook his head.
“But he was respectful and considerate of our royal family.”
Albert stood up and put his hand on Damian’s shoulder.
“I know that you are burdened with the succession to the throne.”
That’s probably why he left the castle and wandered here and there.
“From the moment you inherit the throne, you will be constantly compared to Lord Bright.”
The burden will increase even more than now.
“Son, you still have to inherit the throne.”
“A companion with a hero who will be recorded as a myth. I will consider it an honor.”
Albert stroked Damian’s hair with a pleased expression.
“You’ve grown a lot while I couldn’t see you.”
Damian decided to stop wandering for a long time and do his best to succeed to the throne.
“Sports should be made a state-led entertainment. From today, attend the Cabinet meeting.”
“Yes, Your Highness the King!”
A week after that, rumors of an entertainment street called sports began to circulate in Aucklea.
