Chapter 119.1: 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐝 (2)
Can you teach me anything else?
I dont know. Ill decide after hearing it.
The things Im learning right now are too many. Archery, astronomy, and theology are not even fun. . .
The things that nobles had to learn were numerous and broad. From theology to medicine, law and history, as well as music and poetry.
Of course, as can be seen from Stephen, not all nobles learned these things.
If a noble is being raised to be a feudal lord, they prioritize the things that are essential for a feudal lord. If a noble is being raised to be a knight, they prioritize the things that are essential for a knight. Otherwise, they just focus on the things they like.
In that sense, Amien was learning quite strictly. She must be learning other things as well.
If you dont want to learn archery or astronomy, you dont have to. But you have to learn theology.
But the priests words. . .
Johan was about to say, . but he stopped himself.
He needed to tell her in a roundabout way since she was still young.
You have to study theology to know that God loves you. Otherwise, its easy to forget.
At Johans words, the priest turned his head and hid his tears of emotion.
He never thought he would hear such a touching remark just by accompanying him on a hunt!
Even the stubborn Amien would be more diligent in listening to Gods words after hearing those words.
Johan whipped his horse and threw a carrot.
But if you dont want to learn archery or astronomy, you dont have to. Ill talk to Iselia.
Of course, Amien was young. She was just so happy that one or two things were missing that she nodded her head repeatedly.
Archery is boring?
Yes. Every time, its the same thing. I dont know whats so fun about it.
Really? Sit down in front. Achladda! Marco! Amien here is curious about whats so great about the bow. Can you show it to her?
At Johans words, the two looked at each other. A strange atmosphere flowed between them. Both of them were confident in their archery skills.
Ive been waiting, Sir Knight. Just give me the signal.
. . .I also dont intend to lose, Sir.
As soon as the signal was given, the two quickly raised their bows and aimed at the sky. That was the best place to show off their skills.
As the arrows flew one after another and the birds fell, Amiens eyes widened.
I think I caught more. Sir.
I guess you didnt see me catch two birds with one arrow.
. . .!
Sir Knight. What do you think? Who was better?
I never told you to compete, but well done. Give them both a reward.
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
In any case, they did well. Give them both a reward.
No. . . instead of a reward, if you could just tell me who was better. . .
Achladda couldnt let go of his regrets and lingered. Then Euclyia dragged him away from behind.
How is it? Are you still not interested?
Oh, no. I want to try shooting too!
Thats right. If you shoot it yourself, youll think differently again. Astronomy will be the same.
Johan skillfully appeased Amien. Iselia couldnt help but admire him at the sight. He was much more experienced than her.
Iselia was only able to say sternly if she didnt listen. . .
More confusing than that was that Johan was taking care of Amien better than she thought. There was no reason to do such a thing if he was going to deal with it in the hunting ground or in a place where no one else knew.
So was he really trying to take care of her?
Sir.
The soldiers who had gone to find the birds they had shot seemed to have found something and returned. A frightened boy was seen among the soldiers, shaking with fear. He had a rabbit in his hand.
What is it?
We brought him because he was hunting in the forest.
Hunting without permission in the feudal lords forest was strictly forbidden. Even if you touched something as small as a rabbit, you would be severely punished if you were caught.
Did you catch a rabbit? What did you catch it with?
. . . . . .
Didnt you hear Sir ask what you caught it with? Are you deaf?!
The soldier shouted angrily when the boy was too scared to speak. Johan reached out to stop him.
Thats enough. Dont get excited for no reason.
Im sorry.
With a rock, with a slingshot. . .
You caught it with a slingshot? Your skills are quite good.
Johan ordered the trembling boy to return the rabbit.
Youre not going to punish him?
Whats the point of whipping or hanging someone for a rabbit? You have good skills, so thats nice. Go back.
Thank you! Thank you!
The boy who had come back from the dead kept bowing his head and quickly ran away. Everyone around him praised Johans mercy.
Frankly, Johan felt like he was getting a free ride. Even more so when he heard these words, even though he had forgiven the boy for hunting a rabbit.
. . .
Even if Johan was determined to be a tyrant, he would be a kind person compared to the other feudal lords here.
