《I Want To Enjoy A Country Life!》Chapter 2
Advertisement
*Paanpakapaanpapa~*
I felt astonished and deeply moved at the rhythmical sound of the trumpet. It's a beautiful tune played each and every morning!
After the trumpet's performance ends, the King will walk along the center aisle and sits down on the pedestal where he had to look down below his subjects.
Yes, I am in the middle of admiring the morning's divine service right now. This country's religion is like the Divine King's religion. The King and God is the same, the King is the Sun, the King is absolute - it feels like seeing the history ages ago.
I listened to the incessant talk of the Reverend while enduring the urge to yawn.
However!
For some reason, he is talking about the Kingdom's history today and the topic is the King who reformed agriculture.
That King had an interest in agriculture and when a calamity happened, he improved potato and made it widely available in order for them to have something to eat. That King personally experienced and performed agriculture himself, and then he investigated it!
"Isn't that right, Princes? Just dreaming of something ideal will keep it merely a dream, action is needed for it to be realized."
I feel like I've been struck by thunder with the words of the Reverend. This! This is the reason I want to leave the castle!
I spent that day's service inwardly dancing for joy while thinking how everything will somehow go smoothly.

Afterwards, I was called out by Elder Brother on the way to breakfast.
"Did your recover immediately because you're also an idiot even when it comes to collapsing?"
I looked over and saw him sneering with a cruel expression and a smirk. If I am the previous Aine, I would surely talk back and argue, however I am now having a fresh start in life. (Does that mean I was cured when I got reborn?)

"Please do not worry. I am thouroughly recovered as before."
"Haa? I am not worried, idiot. I think it would be better if you just died right then."
Just like that, Elder Brother left towards somewhere else while I stood still.
Even if you say that, it's painful to die once again... I'll stay away from that person as much as possible until I leave the castle, I secretly vowed.
"Ah, Yuan."
When I called out to Yuan, he looked back with an extremely displeased expression.
"Can you not call my name."
Yuan left as soon as he said that. Are you a forest bear...
I scratched my head. It looks like being in the castle isn't happy at all. As expected, I have to go to the country side! That is my resolution.
During the meal, I was treated as if I didn't exist. Elder Brother and Yuan talked about national defense while I am at the farthest seat for some reason, slowly eating a bread.
This world is Western in appearance so the breakfast is also Western-style, it's very delicious!
The previous Aine would definitely participate in the talk to stir up disturbance, however my Japanese soul with a peaceful mind that knows not to disrupt the winds, decided to just shut up and eat my breakfast. This bread is really delicious...
Of course I noticed that Elder Brother and Yuan exchanged glances upon seeing me like that.
I finished eating as Elder Brother's talk progressed in the background, I then left my seat and stood up. Right then, I heard Elder Brother's angry voice directed at me so I turned towards him.
"Oi! You dare stand up before me? You insolent bastard! This is why I hate those good-for-nothing."
Huh? Certainly, I am the slowest eater until today. But you didn't complain when Yuan stood up first before!

It's what I thought, however I am a man with a Japanese soul. I'm calm, I'm calm.
"I'm sorry," I lowered my head and sat down again. As expected, I can't live in this castle if I have to get permission just to sit on a chair! I want to live a solitary life!
"Elder Brother," Yuan addressed me as I was thinking 'It's leisure time, leisure time~' while gazing at a painting ahead.
"Did your head become strange when you collapsed?"
Yuan stared fixatedly at me. Moreover, Elder Brother (Leichel) is still watching me.
It's true that the previous 'Aine' is usually talkative, so they're suspicious now that I stayed silent and remained well-mannered. However, my setup is not that of a high-handed prince anymore!
I chuckled when I thought of that. Thereupon, both of them stared at me like they're trying to peel off my thoughts with their eyes. Amazing, their eyes were opened widely that it seems like they will fall out. After looking at both their faces, I returned my gaze to the painting.
The meal ended and Elder Brother stood up, after Yuan did the same, I also stood up then left the room.
Then I headed to the King's room right then. This will be a direct negotiation.

The woods loom thick with evergreen,An ancient, old, forgotten scene,And through the mist and tangled rootsA tiny witch strolls on between. Though twisted bark casts shadows strong,The little witch steps slow along,And as she wanders through the mistShe sings a soft and quiet song...

I thought the world ending would be exciting. What more can I say except for ‘I was wrong.’? Now all I have is my lifelong friend and the people I meet along the way, yet continue to lose. This world is disgusting, flesh-eating monsters may exist but the people who used to be considered normal are so much worse.

This is just the weird & random shit it my mind, for when I can remember them and when I have time to put those thoughts & feelings into words, IF I can even do that. Writing is one of the things that I couldn't live without, and it's weird because it's something that bloomed from some things that I now hate. Anygays, enjoy the show.
