The lunch break had just ended and other employees started streaming into the office in large numbers.
“Here.”
I patted Kibun on the shoulder and said:
“Okay, let's get to work now.
As long as you come early.”
“Work means...”
“A threatening letter...
I do not mean an official document that must be written.”
She smiled innocently, surprising Kibune.
I raised my eyebrows and added:
“To the Minister of Education.”
The Minister of Education was now probably trembling in fear.
After Lydon was arrested, how worried would he be?
'Anyway, after a little more worry…'
She smiled mischievously and wrote the official document.
'In the end he will be used as bait for me.'
Minister of Education.
It's amazing that he sincerely believes that he is working for the benefit of the Imperial Family and the Empire.
But…
'He is also someone who received an offer to join the secret group behind this war.
He declined the offer now but...'
In the original story, the Minister of Education joins the secret society long after the entire imperial family has fallen.
But it was reported that he received the offer a long time ago.
‘But his failure to inform the imperial family when he first received the offer is evidence that he is hesitant internally.’
The Education Minister was a cunning person who overlooked Lydon's actions but always thought of backing down.
So it was natural for him not to move.
But if he was given a reason to motivate him?
'Then he will definitely move!'
If we follow his steps well, we can properly arrest the secret group.
Then I will move with Kiaros.
'Maybe I became a minister to move with this freedom.'
I had a lot to do.
Knowing the future and the power in my hands there was no stopping me.
I cupped the corners of my mouth with my hands to hide my rising smile.
Kibun looked at the document I was writing for the Minister of Education and tilted his head:
“What is this official document?”
“Ah, a cooperation document.”
“You are requesting cooperation... in such an exaggerated manner from the Education Department?”
"Yes."
If you ask for such excessive cooperation, the Minister of Education will hesitate for a moment.
‘Do you even know about my involvement and are threatening me?’ This thought will occupy him and he will not sleep.
“Because he probably has something to feel guilty about.”
“Huh... even the Minister of Education...”
“What?”
"nothing."
Kibun hummed in surprise.
For a while, the sound of a pen scribbling was the only thing in the minister's room.
Unfortunately the manuscript department was always full of work.
“Please Kibun.”
I placed a pile of documents on his desk and said:
“It will be easier when Viktor-senpai comes.
He will be back tomorrow or the day after, so hang on until then.”
Kibon didn't answer.
He looked a little dissatisfied.
Is he really a workaholic?
So I added a few more documents.
'See I'm a very warm person aren't I?
'Wait a minute.'
I moved my eyes and fell into thought.
Kibune clearly said that he likes warm people!
'Is it possible that he loves me?'
Anastasia immediately ruled me out of the possibilities but in reality I was the most likely.
Why?
Because Kibon doesn't talk to any other employee except me.
‘Moreover, he stood in front of me without hesitation.’
The opponent was a criminal covered in blood.
Kibbon did not know Lydon and thought he was a dangerous criminal chasing him.
Despite this, he stood in front of me without hesitation.
Isn't it natural for someone to retreat instinctively?
'Aren't I really?'
It is true that his ideal characteristics are a little far from me, but ideality remains just an ideal.
The woman he is actually attracted to may vary.
'Even when I'm rude he always says it's okay...'
I thought to myself again.
Because he was the first person I felt comfortable with, I suddenly grabbed his hand and even pressed him against a tree.
If Osun had done that to me, I would have reported him for harassment immediately.
'Now that I'm thinking there really is a possibility.'
Hmm if Kibune really loves me...
“Kibun.”
I called him without thinking and he immediately raised his head and looked at me.
His black eyes stared at me calmly.
“When your boss calls you, you must answer.”
"Yes."
When I reprimanded him, he responded obediently again.
At first I thought he was arrogant but now I treat him at ease and direct him without thinking.
'Indeed, Kibun is the only man I'm this comfortable with.'
As my first subordinate, I had no one to compare him to.
But there's still a lot I don't know about Kibune.
How do I think of him as a potential boyfriend without knowing more?
'Of course, since he is a foreigner, there may be difficulties due to the difference in cultures, but I can overcome them if I teach him well.'
I was a person who preferred reason over emotion except when it came to war.
So I think mentally first and then look at my feelings.
So I suddenly asked Kibune without any introduction:
“What are your shortcomings?”
For a long relationship, the disadvantages are more important than the advantages.
But discovering it myself is ineffective.
With Kibun's rigid personality, it was clear that he would answer frankly, as a direct question was better.
“My flaws?”
Kibun answered immediately without asking why:
“I don't know.”
Kibun's flaw was that he 'didn't think for himself'.
While I was thinking he added:
“But according to the people they trained me with...”
“Training?
Did you have training too?”
"Yes."
True, his body looks athletic.
When I looked surprised, Kibun explained:
“No one dares to mention my faults in front of me, but during training they are forced to say them.”
“Ah, understood.
Of course.”
I had seen the palace knights training from afar.
They were training hard and mentioning each other's advantages and disadvantages.
“Their frequent opinion was that I... lacked a little self-control.”
"What?"
I was surprised and my eyes widened at the unexpected answer.
At that moment:
“A… A… A… A… A… A?”
Anastasia shouted from outside as if in a state of panic:
“S… S… S… Your Highness?!”
The prince's arrival was unexpected.
"Oh, my God."
I looked out the window and Jayden was already there.
I frowned a little surprised:
'I knew he would come looking for me soon but to come directly to the office?'
Even if Jayden was young, this was stressful.
All the members of the department, including me, suddenly stood up.
But Kibun remained seated and returned his gaze to the documents.
'Is this boy crazy?'
I poked him and stared at him, but he did not get up and continued to look at Jayden with suspicious eyes.
Meanwhile, Anastasia shouted more stammering than usual:
“H…H…H…Would you like coffee?”
Jayden crossed his arms and replied sarcastically:
"Would you give an eight-year-old with a developing brain a drink rich in harmful caffeine?
Did you leave your brain at home before work?
Or did you throw common sense in the trash?
If you keep offering a child coffee, why don't you join the trash too?"
Kibun dropped the pen from his hand as he saw this sour child.
Of course, this is the first time he has seen the prince.
It's not for nothing that he's called the 'bad kid' from behind.
Maybe Kiaros and the Emperor are the only ones in the palace who don't know this side of Jayden.
Jayden raised his chin and said:
“Enough, where is the Minister of the Manuscripts Department?”
