"Oh...... fail. I've been talking a little too much."

After Safias left, Rafina laughed bitterly.

Mouth the rest of the tea left in the cup. Rafina twinkles as she faces the bitterness that spreads across her tongue.

"I'm sure you were more shocked than you think yourself. Mr. Meer turned me down..."

Rafina Orca Verga.

Virgin of Velga - the girl worshipped by the people originally had no friends.

I never thought of that as unhappy. My father put a lot of love into me, and the people mercied and admired her. Rather, it could be described as a privileged situation.

Everybody, treat her special.

Special......, Rafina thinks that would be true.

She does not deny that she is "special".

There is only one Virgin of Velga. It's special in its only existence, so I also think it should be treated as special.

But......, Rafina thinks at the same time.

That's the same for everyone else.

That's how they were all built.

The only being individually designed from God, each in a different, special form.

God's favor to each of them.

That's why each of them should be respected, he said.

Yes, God teaches. Verga's scripture says so.

Therefore, I was dissatisfied with Rafina that I was the only one being treated specially.

It doesn't change me or the other kids. I wish we'd been friends normally, and I thought so.

At one point, before her, a samurai nobleman's warrant appeared.

"Lafina, would you be my friend?

To the words, Rafina was pleased.

Finally, I met someone who wouldn't treat me special, who would make me a normal friend.

Sincerely, I was happy......

One day, Rafina saw it.

Where the friend is beating his own squire with a stick.

"How can you do that?

Rafina was confused.

'Cause her friends are, like, the Virgin or the Nobleman... someone who can't be taken in that capacity. Should be someone who doesn't depend on that kind of' false special '...... That's why you were supposed to be my friend......

And yet, how can you do such a terrible thing?

After thinking about it, Rafina noticed.

Why the girl didn't treat Rafina special.

Nothing, the girl just thought of herself as special as well as Rafina. Being chosen and spoiled by God, being special..., I was just thinking.

What tyrannical thinking......

Rafina considers those who live in this land, a community of believers who believe and honor God and who have received his favor, to be like a single family. And nobility, civilians, slaves, etc. all have to be just differences in roles.

The right and duty to succeed the housekeeper are imposed on those born as firstborn sons. Likewise the second son is the second son, the eldest daughter is the eldest daughter, the father is the father, the mother is the mother, each of whom has roles and rights and duties.

And the role is not otherwise comparable. Which is superior, which is inferior, and so on. Just a different role to play, that's all the difference.

So Rafina wholeheartedly despises those who abuse civilians and kick slaves because they are nobles.

Rafina cannot forgive those who deserve the privileges bestowed upon themselves and who discipline themselves and do not seek to fulfill their duties.

To Rafina like that, no friend could.

The approaching nobles are all the inferior ones approached by the name of Rafina as the Virgin. I don't deserve to be friends.

The civilians, even if they ever honored Rafina, never tried to be friends.

Is this a test to be borne by the raw herself as the Virgin of Velga? And half the time Rafina was about to give up, she showed up.

"Meer Luna Tiermoon"

Rafina was just a little surprised when she found out what she had done in the Empire.

As the daughter of a ruling emperor, a princess who works as she deserves. A loving man who deserves the position he has been given, who can benefit his people and even instil compassion in the poor.

In the same "Virgin" name as herself, Rafina felt her heart jump when she heard that some called Meer.

"Maybe this one will make me his friend..."

Rafina was eager for Meer to come into school.

Thus, in the common bathing area, Rafina found Meer for the first time.

I showed care to my own obedient civilian maid and told her I was even belly-hearted, Meer. It wasn't a superficial thing to see a human being in a deeper part, such as position, blood muscle, etc., that shocked and touched Rafina a lot.

She was the one she wanted, Rafina thought.

But... no.

"You were more than I thought, Mr. Meer."

Giving Meer the tolerance she showed, even those who made mistakes, a chance to start over, if possible, during a dance party incident. Striking every hand to make it happen.

The attitude, not in Rafina, is unknown...... but.

"People make mistakes. Sometimes you sin without knowing it's a mistake. Therefore, I will give you as much opportunity as possible to start over...... Mr. Meer is so sweeter than I am."

Rafina is just a little surprised to notice herself feeling comfortable with it.

Obscuring punishment becomes a hotbed of corruption.

If the punishment for the offender is lighter, the heartache of the injured person will not be alleviated.

So like Meer, Rafina despises those who try to forgive those culprits.

Punishment is punishment. Those in power should judge evil and correct injustice.

However, Meer moves by wisdom before evil is done, or before harm becomes greater, creating a situation where the culprit is given a "chance to start over".

Rafina even had an admiration for the gentle way she never thought about it.

But...

"Too bad, Mr. Meer, you can't beat me"

Rafina snaps small.

She already saw the exact predictions ahead.

Meer surely loses.

If I could have been as thorough with evil as I could have been on Saphias' plot, I still had a winner.

But Meer refused.

"Honest, and with tender faith......, Mr. Meer's virtues become the chains that bind herself. So you'll never beat me..."

Rafina believes in Meer's righteous heart. I am therefore also convinced of my own victory.

It's ironic. As long as Meer stays right, she'll never win.

Because......, it is.

"Oh, I wish you were there for me..."

Rafina snaps, as she cuts off her thoughts. That was as young as an age-appropriate girl, only a little lonely.

"If you were my friend, I thought you'd understand..."

Lying on the desk in front of her with no gudday force, Rafina points her lips.

Of course, Rafina also guesses why Meer ran for office.

To stand as Rafina's opposing horse in order to make the system of elections function fairly. That in itself was also necessary to prove Rafina's own innocence. And that's what only friends who never regard Rafina can do... But.

"Ahhh......"

Even though I know that, it should be noted that Rafina sighs lonely.

"Me, I'm trying."

There was a countermeasure to the serpent of chaos and Velga's role as Virgin, plus the work of the student chairman, and that's just Rafina, too, couldn't hide the colour of fatigue.

"I'm trying... hey"

Crushed, Rafina gently closed her eyes and gave herself up to the sleeper.
