When I wish I had a secretary!
As if by a miracle, the retraining request came for Kibune Altice.
'Incredible.'
I was so happy that my hands were shaking.
I read the documents quickly.
Date of birth: November 2, 524.>“Born in the year 524?
That’s one year younger than me!”
Finally, a junior employee who was younger than me came along.
I searched the documentation to find more personal information.
Family relations: none.Oh... he doesn't have a family.
Apparently he was unmarried and had no parents or siblings, just like me.
“And from the kingdom of Emot...”
I clicked my tongue when I realized this.
Kingdom of Emot.
It was a remote island country with very poor transportation.
‘He is from the Emot Kingdom, which is also the home of the former Empress.’
Kiaros's biological mother was from the Kingdom of Emot.
This was also the place where diplomatic relations had recently begun thanks to the marriage of the first emperor.
In other words, not much was known about the country.
‘The cultures are so different, it’s no wonder diplomatic relations were established so late.’
Didn't Kibun say that the greeting there was to ask your opinion about marrying the Crown Prince?
The more I thought about it, the more foreign it seemed to my narrow, empire-centric way of thinking.
‘Why would you sell the Crown Prince of your country when you are not the Emperor?
How can this even make sense?…'
But okay.
They were on the other side of the continent, so their culture could have developed very differently.
‘But you have again applied for training.’
I looked at the documents, lost in thought.
'Maybe he felt a little regretful about returning to the Empire, right?'
He clearly said that he wanted to learn a lot from me.
A smile started to creep onto my face.
'Then I can use him as my secretary.'
Everything has been resolved.
It was a bit embarrassing to use my senior staff as secretaries, but using interns wouldn't be as cumbersome.
[I thought you returned to your original country, but how did you get here…]
[I ran.]
Moreover, Kebun was a foreigner and was not good at the imperial language!
Such a rude and confident expression at that time was not something anyone could do.
[This woman is my boss.]
This face showed that he didn't even know that what he said was wrong!
Those eyes that seemed to be intoxicated by his coldness without knowing anything!
He spoke so poorly that he didn't even know how to talk to his boss!
This...can't be an act at all.
'They wouldn't use an inexperienced kid as a spy.
First of all, there is a high possibility that the words will be distorted.
Because he is a foreigner, he is not good at picking up nuances.'
In addition, in the original work, the Kingdom of Emot did not participate in the war on the continent at all.
Since it was a remote island nation, it immediately declared neutrality and left.
So there was no conflict of interest at all.
'No matter how I think about it, it's perfect.'
Kebun altis.
I can get this foreigner to work as my secretary.
It would probably be good experience for an intern who wants to learn some business.
This is what he wanted.
However, if it's work, I have to make sure I give him enough of it.

Chapter Four.
Conditions of Kibun Altis
The Scroll Management Department, which was jointly subordinate to the Magic Tower and the Imperial Palace, was disbanded.
Subsequently, a new manuscript department was established in the Imperial Palace.
The Minister of Manuscripts Department was...
23-year-old newbie Namia Robbie!
Naturally, chaos reigned in every department.
“What?
She got into a scandal with the Crown Prince and they immediately brought her down like that?”
“Did you see that at the trial?
I heard that the Crown Prince sent a heart, and it caused quite a stir.”
“Did he make a heart sign with such a solemn expression?
Oh my God, I thought I was having a hallucination.”
As expected, such rumors spread, and just as expected, other rumors followed.
“It is not possible.
The ministers said that Namibia rejected the Crown Prince.”
"Oh my God, where are Nami's eyes located?
Are her aesthetic standards so different from those of ordinary people?"
Rumors indicated that Chiaros was rejected outright.
However, she effectively announced that she was not appointed minister for personal reasons.
The rumor spread quickly through the palace.
“Is that true?
Did you really reject the Crown Prince?”
Naturally, Kiaros, who was disguised as Kibune, also heard the news.
Chiaros passed through the garden and found his assistant surrounded by others.
"Is this true?
He was abandoned so mercilessly that he isolated himself and deprived himself of all food and water?"
People asked the assistant a lot of questions.
“I can’t say anything, because I deeply respect the Crown Prince and have sworn allegiance to him.”
His loyal assistant stood still, and answered with a firm expression.
“I will never talk about how determined His Highness was to set something up, and how quickly I dealt with the consequences of its failure.
Even if a knife were held to my throat, I wouldn’t talk.
So please, don’t ask me more.”
His response did nothing to help Kiaros.
People groaned in shock.
“What...did you...prepare something?”
“Oh my God, that's why he pulled out.”
Kiaros has already changed his appearance, but he is still hiding behind a tree.
It was a feeling he had never experienced before: embarrassment.
But he was a rational, sound-minded person, and therefore he thought positively and calmly.
'If I can completely hide the reason for my withdrawal, that's actually for the best.
It's good.
Really, it's a very good situation.'
He felt that this was a good situation when he completely excluded his emotions.
'Of course, I'm still curious as to why Namiya suddenly rejected me.'
This is still an unsolved mystery.
He was walking slowly towards the Manuscripts Department office.
'Anyway, I've been very busy lately.
Now that His Majesty has returned, I should rest for a while.
Monitoring the members of the department is not difficult…'
When he arrived on his second day at the manuscripts department.
The remaining employees all had puzzled expressions.
They were equally shocked by the department's reorganization.
"Welcome."
Only Namiya, who was sitting in the minister's chair, received him warmly and with a wide smile.
'Hmm?'
This was the first time Kiaros had seen Namiya's bright smile, and he felt like he had been hit on the head.
Was Namiya's smiling face always so beautiful?
The neatly combed silver hair, the elegant clothes, and above all… the warm, sparkling crescent eyes.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for coming back.”
Her face exuded sincere joy.
“I really… I can't express how grateful I am to have you back.”
Kiaros felt a deep pain in his chest.
For his first boss who he valued so much, he wasn't able to offer any support at all, even complaining about carrying things…
I spoke kindly,
“Kibun, you will serve as my secretary for the time being.”
Kiaros was looking at her face with a blank look.
A woman whose status as a spy or loyalist has not yet been determined.
Was she a benefactor or a villain in disguise?
Being that person's secretary...does that mean they'll always be together?
'If it's an enemy, that's a good thing to keep an eye on.
And if she's loyal, it's good to protect.'
In many ways it was okay.
Kiaros immediately nodded.
Facing him, Namiya said in a sad tone:
“I promise.
The Scrolls Department will be completely different than before.
Please, stay with us this time.”
She even held his hand tightly.
“I feel so anxious thinking about you leaving again after just one day...”
Her expression looked truly desperate.
There was no hint of it, but was it really hurtful when he said he was quitting?
Kiaros nodded, moved by feelings he didn't even know he had.
“I will carry out my duties no matter what.
I swear.”
"This is very good."
Suddenly, Namiya's smile deepened.
In the midst of something strange and sinister, she blinked and added,
“You must protect your life, honor and country at all costs.”
Wait a minute.
…so?
