The noble lords in the royal capital often meet with the king after worship and praise the king who has been given authority by God. This is a necessary etiquette and an unwritten rule. Unless someone is sick or has limited mobility, most people will do so. He met the king twice a month, especially the holders of honorary titles.
Jane saw the nobles gathering in the Royal Garden, followed closely by their knights of square banners. These people were responsible for demonstrating the honor of the lord and protecting the lord.
As a literate nun, Jane understood the chivalry system far better than many nobles.
Following Blessed Luke's public letter, the Pope subsequently launched an unprecedented religious reform. Luke praised the knighthood as a sacred institution born out of the world's longing for God. To a certain extent, it explained the relationship between God and man. contact.
But what exactly that "certain degree" is, Blessed Luke did not say, and the popes of that generation did not answer it. "A certain degree" has become one of the topics worthy of study in theology.
The widely accepted explanation is "Answers to Bishop Ila's Three Questions" written by another Blessed Blessed. It is not a public letter, because the recipient of the letter, Bishop Ila, was elected pope and became the Pope. After Rita Saren Island, this letter was made public.
Regarding the issue of "a certain degree", the nun clearly remembers it. To put it briefly, it is like this:
[Knights are loyal to their monarch, just as people are loyal to gods. They all have unshirkable obligations. 】
Jane didn't completely agree with that sentence, but she always felt that there was something worthwhile in that sentence.
She stared at the tall, majestic Knights of the Banner and the noble lords.
Those knights, during the canonization ceremony, swore an oath to their lord and the Lord in heaven.
After traveling around the world three times, Jane has seen several knight canonization ceremonies.
During the canonization ceremony, a knight must swear an oath to believe in what he believes in, to keep what he cherishes, and to be loyal to what he is loyal to...
Thinking of this, Jian got some inspiration. It was a premonition that was about to pass away. Unfortunately, Jane caught it firmly.
Jane was pacing in the garden, holding on to the inspiration and not letting it slip away, but the idea was stuck for a while, and she was a little at a loss.
She glanced into the garden again, and suddenly, Jane recalled the problem of Vinakana again.
[Why do good and righteous people often not only receive no rewards in this world, but also suffer hardships and torture in this world, and some even die in pain in the end? 】
The key point in this question is – why doesn’t God reward them in this world? What is God thinking?
But...what is God thinking...about this?
Only a few people in the world know it.
Thinking of this,
Another train of thought suddenly appeared in Jane's mind, and the holy statue dangling around her neck.
To answer this question,
What matters is not what God is thinking...
But...what are those good and righteous people who are suffering thinking?
Jane's eyes suddenly lit up. She had to go and meet those kind and righteous people who were suffering in person. Only in this way could she get the answer.
"No, not only me, but Wenakana also wants to meet him. I have to take her with me. Only by seeing such a child with her own eyes can she believe it."
Jane's pace quickened and she said to herself.
She hurriedly left the royal gardens and asked the maids in the palace to take her to see Queen Remedios.
.............................
.............................
Remedios trusts Jane.
This trust comes from her faith in the Lord, her confidence in the oracle she heard that day, and even more from her belief in her own premonition.
When Jane proposed to take Vinacana to the church's foundling hall and almshouse, Remedios readily agreed to Jane's request after some inquiry.
Jane thanked Remedios again and again, but the queen just said: "That's not necessary, Sister Sister, it's me who should thank you."
“That child was my mission from the Lord.”
Jane said calmly:
"I should thank you, Her Royal Highness, for letting me teach her. May God bless you."
In Remedios's fleeting surprise, Jane left the Queen's study. Remedios looked up at the Circle of Truth in the room, and then praised the Lord in a low voice for allowing such a nun to come to Victoria. Next to Nakana.
After morning prayers on the second day, Jane came to Venakana again.
The princess was a little surprised that she came directly to see her. Could it be that she had already thought of an answer?
Then, Venakana heard Jane say:
"Your Highness, I have some ideas, but they are not perfect."
"Oh." Venakana's face was cold, "You can tell me."
"But I have to take you out first, leave this palace, and take you somewhere."
Vinakana was stunned when she heard this. Since her legs no longer belonged to her, she had stayed in the palace all year round. Only during grand festivals would she be carried to the cathedral in a sedan chair by the maids.
"Okay, it's up to you." Venakana pretended to be calm.
Jane called for a strong maid, whom she carefully selected last night. She was strong but not talkative.
So, the maid carried Venakana on her back with ease, and the three of them walked out of the palace.
The church has the mission of relieving the poor.
In the world of true religion, we often see people abandoning unwanted babies at the door of churches at night, and we often see priests taking to the streets to give food to the poor.
In the royal capital, the church built specialized nurseries and almshouses.
Lying on the back of the maid, Venakana walked into the area where civilians gathered under the leadership of Jane. She looked around and heard various accents. Many people spoke the dialect of Layton, and occasionally participated in the meeting. Mix in some real Arabic sentences or words.
In this area where civilians gather, there are many pagans who believe in gods or my king.
Venakana, who grew up in the deep palace, rarely saw pagans, but she was not particularly surprised.
Invinakana learned from history books that a hundred years ago, as the Kingdom of Leyton expanded to its peak, the strength of the military force inevitably turned from prosperity to decline, followed by the rise of pagan rebellions in the country.
Faced with this severe situation, the king of the Holy City of that generation had no choice but to sign a pardon, announcing that as long as he paid a certain amount of taxes to the church, those who believed in other gods would be temporarily forgiven.
Jane took Vinakana to the door of the workhouse. The workhouse and the foundling hall were connected together.
Venakana looked up and saw a stooped nun, bending down to scrub the faces of poor patients.
The nun's body was bent at a right angle, the skin all over her body was wrinkled, and one eye was blind except for the white of the eye.
"On the day I came to the royal capital, I visited this nun. She stayed in a leprosy hospital when she was young because she contracted leprosy. Later, with the blessing of the Lord, her condition improved, but she was still blind. Eye."
As Jane spoke, she made a ring salute with the nun from a distance. The latter looked up, smiled, and also made a ring salute.
Venakana stared at the blind nun, and a premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
The man in front of her was exactly what she said, a good and righteous man who suffered and received no reward.
