A First in Ten Years

The carriage trundled along without pause until around about high noon, when our procession came to a sudden stop.

Well, I say that, but it didn’t feel particularly rushed. Nobody had hit the emergency brakes, exactly, so I figured we weren’t under attack—had some kind of accident happened, maybe?

After a while, a voice spoke from outside the carriage. “Your food is ready, Your Majesty.” It was the voice of Timona le Nain, my attendant.

Seriously? All that wondering, and it turns out it was just lunch?

After alighting from the carriage, I ate my meal in the shade of a large tent. The food was warmer than my usual fare, but only just. Still better than the practically gelid fare I ate in the imperial demesne, though. Those made me nostalgic enough for the hot meals of my old world to make me teary-eyed. Three cheers for the invention of the mighty microwave.

Incidentally, the contents of my meal were no different from my usual victuals. Yep, you heard that right: there was no difference.

In the imperial demesne, the emperor ate three meals a day. If I wasn’t mistaken, this differed from the Medieval Europe of Earth, where I was fairly certain it had been common practice to only have a light snack for breakfast, or not eat it at all.

As the etymology of the word “breakfast” would suggest, most folk in medieval Europe would observe the religious rite of fasting for a portion of the day. Here, however, the First Faith had no such concept. Rather, it was thought that taking three square meals a day was proper conduct.

This thought process originated with the Illumunatus Ein: after being driven from the Central Continent, he had taken his followers on a lengthy journey by ship. It went without saying that maritime travel back then had been nowhere near as developed as it was today, so death by starvation had been a serious risk. However, it was said that the followers who were deemed true believers were able to receive three meals a day by the grace of God, only losing this privilege if it was deemed that their faith had wavered.

In the modern day, debating the historical veracity of this teaching was considered utter poppycock. It was simply a core truth—part of this world’s body of common knowledge.

According to Rosaria, the reactionary belief that those who did not consume three meals a day surely had a guilty conscience sprang from this teaching. Man, why did religion always trend toward extremes?

In any case, that was why lunch was a full course meal, carried in by a train of chefs. By the way, this was also when I figured out why there was a strange bowl within the carriage—turns out it was a sick bag.

“It is time to depart, Your Majesty.”

After lunch, it was expected that I would be stuffed back into the carriage so we could get moving again. Right, I thought, Rosaria had mentioned something about everyone seeming keen to
