Which Is Truly Terrifying: God, or Man?

The First Faith was the state religion of nearly every nation on the continent. It was monotheistic and primarily concerned with living by God’s teachings, left behind by the Illuminatus, Ein. According to my theology tutors, these were called the “Prime Tenets.”

It would be no exaggeration to say that this was the only useful piece of information my theology classes offered me. Everything else boiled down to “the Western Orthodoxy is righteous, heresy is forbidden.” I assumed “heresy” here boiled down to “every idea ever articulated by another religion,” but I wasn’t taught a thing about what any of the other religions actually were or how their teachings differed. I wasn’t even taught anything about Western Orthodoxy, outside of the Prime Tenets.

As such, I was completely ignorant when it came to theology. That probably wasn’t good.

＊＊＊

My deliverance came during my foreign language lessons with Baron Frederick Rouxnen, while he was teaching me the language of the First Faith. I encountered an unfamiliar word in the process of my usual reading, so I inquired about it.

“Baron Rouxnen. What does this ‘globe’ refer to?”

“It refers to the ‘globe of the world,’ Your Majesty. Are you unfamiliar with the term? It should be quite common in the holy scripture...”

The Baron sounded surprised to see my blank reaction, but it was the truth—I’d never seen the word before. I turned to my ever-present classmate. “We do not know it. Timona?”

“H-His Majesty is right, Father. We weren’t taught that word.”

As it turned out, Timona was capable of being obedient and honest—probably just because he felt comfortable when his father was around. Incidentally, his voice was awfully cute. Maybe that was no surprise, though, since he wasn’t yet old enough for it to deepen.

“I see...” The baron closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. When he opened them again, his expression looked resolved. “I believe this is essential knowledge for you, Your Majesty. As such, I will take the liberty of instructing you about the First Faith.

“First, it is prudent to know that the holy scripture is a compilation of Illuminatus Ein’s words gathered by his disciples after his passing. One such teaching he left for us was that this world is in the shape of a globe.”

Wait, seriously? So gravity and planetary rotation were already common knowledge here? That was pretty incredible.

“I cannot fault Your Majesty for looking surprised. Here, I shall use an analogy. Are you aware of what the ocean and ships are?”

I judged it wouldn’t be too strange if I had prior knowledge of those. “Yes, though we have never seen them.”

“Taking heed of God’s words, Illuminatus Ein and his followers boarded a ship and sailed east. Now, until the Illuminatus taught us the truth, it was assumed that the world was flat, and that all that awaited past the ocean was a great void. After their voyage had continued for some time, the followers grew anxious, but the Illuminatus reassured them: ‘Look behind us. See how the Old Continent is gone from sight? This is because the world is round.
