"Then the world united under the leadership of my grandfather, Emperor Alexander I. This was also at the request of a human from another world. The real reason for the request was because he became the husband of nina, an otherworldly human and my grandmother. So basically, I'm also still a descendant of the otherworldly human.
Unfortunately, my grandmother died giving birth to our father's first child. Albert, who found out, became stressed because Nina was originally Albert's child. The stressed Albert then became sick and died. That was the end of the otherworldly humans.
Grandma's death made Grandpa go to the church to pray so often that the power of the church became so great. This is the reason why I say be careful of the church because they have a large following.
The church then influenced our father so badly that he staged a coup against grandfather. They also spread the teaching that humans are above all creatures. It was the church's bad influence that split the Luminara continent"
The Queen sighed after telling that. The demi-humans, the Duke and his wife to me, were all stunned listening to the story. Everything finally started to connect from the story of the elves, flora to Christine.
"Then the point is, light magic is originally magic that arises from people who believe in something. It is neither church-specific magic nor magic that can be learned. It also requires the power of the four races who believe in each other. That is why the church can no longer perform summoning magic. All because of their own stupidity"
Is that so? This really opened up my perspective on this world. Just like on earth, during the medieval period on earth, the church completely controlled Europe causing chaos there. This time, it was also happening in this world.
"I see, thank you for the information, your highness."
I said that to the queen but she shook her head.
"No, I should be the one apologizing to every demi-human for my father's mistake.
He is completely controlled by the church, just as my first brother currently controls the Luminara empire."
The Queen then bowed to Vincent and Baren to apologize. This is truly a wound that is hard to heal in this world.
On earth, everyone has been at war with each other but people must also learn to forgive each other. Only then, could the world be peaceful and thrive once again.
"I understand, however, I cannot decide that myself. For us, it was very painful but because of that, we were able to meet My Lord. Let time ease that pain.
As part of the demi-human race, I can only promise to convey your apology to the demi-humans in Whisperwood Village."
Vincent said that and was agreed to by Baren.
"That's right. I agree with Vincent."
The Queen could only say that and looked down.
"I understand. As the leader of Whisperwood Village, I will also help convey it all, Your Majesty the Queen."
After saying that, the atmosphere began to grow quiet until Rika finally broke the gloomy atmosphere of the room.
"Uncle, Irene and I want to play with Blacky and the others. Is that okay?"
Rika said that. The duke, his wife and the queen were confused as to who Blacky was then they just looked at me.
"Umm, this might come as a surprise to you but Blacky is Rika's pet. If I must say, Rika has the same ability as Albert, the first human from another world"
They were surprised after hearing this from me.
"Is that true, Mr. Rio?"
The Queen said that to me.
"Well, it's true. Do you guys want to see Blacky too? I'm also curious how he's doing down there."
Our negotiations were finally delayed and everyone followed Rika and Irene instead.
Once we got downstairs, we were surprised to see Blacky throwing away the food that the gatekeeper had given him. He took a bite of the tray and threw it aside.
(Errr.... Blacky, isn't that rude?)
I thought about that in my heart. The soldiers seemed to be having a hard time taking care of Blacky.
"Blacky, Ava, Aila..."
Rika called out to Blacky and the others and all immediately looked to Rika. The three pets headed straight for Rika. Irene, who was a little scared at the moment, hid behind Rika.
"Don't be afraid, Irene, they are all Rika's friends"
Blacky and the others arrived and Rika immediately petted Blacky's head. Ava and Aila then surrounded Rika and Irene's feet. Irene, who was originally scared, now relaxed.
"Di-dire wolf.... Ho-how come?"
The Duke was so shocked that he couldn't speak properly. The Duke's wife could only cover her mouth in shock.
Queen Christine only looked at Rika and Irene with a puzzled look. She was the one who knew the legends of humans from other worlds and their crazy powers the best. This time she saw it firsthand to the point of petrification.
"Don't worry. They're very tame. All the children in whisperwood village play with them"
I said that and calmed them down.
"Can I touch them?"
The most ridiculous thing was that the queen asked to touch them. From her eyes, I could see she really wanted to. Rika who heard that immediately turned around and looked at the queen.
"Pretty sister, you can touch Blacky and the others."
The queen who heard that went straight to Blacky and the others to touch them.
"Oouuwww"
Blacky let out a small moan indicating that the queen's stroking was very comfortable for him. For a while, I let them play with them.
Duke Irvine then had the knights bring tables and chairs to continue the meeting outdoors. The atmosphere felt good at the moment and it was the right time to continue the negotiations.
"Alright, let's start the negotiation again. The atmosphere here is very good. This will make our negotiations easier, right?"
Duke said that to all of us. At this moment we ignored the women and there were only me, Vincent, Baren and Duke Irvine.
"That's right.... Let's continue the negotiation."
I also said that and we continued talking again.
