Gilles Perception
The wind blowing in from the slightly opened window is gentle and comfortable. The sunny weather is surely calming the hearts of the people who live in town.
A knock sounded at my door.
This sound is definitely Vernoux.
Come in.
Hey, Gille. Whatre you reading?
Hello, Vernoux. Im reading the record of proceedings I borrowed from father.
Oh, the thing yesterday? I also heard a little about it from father. Theyre planning to organise part of the northern district in the royal capital, right?
Yeah. They add a lot of illegal buildings in that district, and its hard for people to walk around. There are also a lot of quarrels there.
Theyll probably argue about solving it too, but thats inevitable.
The place in question tends to prioritise customs over laws, so the congressional decisions will also lead to backlashes. However, Congress isnt making this decision on their own. Theyre improving the area because the local residents complained. Of course, it would be ideal if there is a solution that would satisfy everyone, but even God wouldnt be able to find such a solution.
Its no use, but I want to reduce the number of dissatisfied people but this is the most I can do.
People living under the law should not suffer disadvantages.
What is right, and what is wrong?
Even though there is a congress, I will make the final decision someday. I feel again that my ideas have an influence on peoples lives, even from a piece of paper.
Father is amazing.
His Majesty is asking you to watch him. He wants you to study from him while you can.
Thats right. Father is always thinking of my welfare so that I wont be troubled in the future. If I can live up to his expectations No, I have to live up to them.
You dont have to correct yourself. That part of you is really diligent.
Vernoux sat on the sofa where he usually sat. That sofa is like his reserved seat, so I always put sweets there for him. I put bottle orange peels there today. I like eating things as they are, but for Vernoux, who loves sweets, I placed some chocolate coated orange peels there. Vernoux knew that those were for him, so he opened the lid without waiting for my permission.
I was surprised when His Majesty suddenly showed up in the study room in the morning and called you So it was to give you that record of proceedings.
Yeah, no, that was different. I got this at breakfast.
Really? Then, what did he want?
Vernoux asked while eating the orange peel. His actions arent commendable as a Marquiss son but this is Vernoux, so it cant be helped now.
Thats not a big deal.
Surprisingly, youre hesitating. Was it about an arranged marriage?
You know, dont put me in your shoes.
Hey. Both you and Dilly. What kind of person do you think I am?
Im joking.
I think Vernoux was joking, but its not funny to me, so I want him to stop.
But fortunately, that wasnt what father informed me.
Father told me to do a better job at sneaking out.
