“Ha, what a farce.”
The Minister of Education had just returned from summoning the Cavalry Division.
Lydon was arrested this morning at the scene.
"We set a fire and say it's negligence on the part of the Manuscript Department, then convict her of attempting to murder a member of the imperial family.
Just ask for His Highness Prince Jayden's cooperation."
He was confident that he would overthrow Namaia.
But the one who was overthrown was himself.
Of course his boss, the Minister of Education, was summoned and asked if he knew about it.
But since there was no evidence, he got out without a problem.
'Anyway I didn't leave anything behind.
Lydon knows he can't drag me with him.'
Although he was released without charges, he felt upset and asked for early leave.
He sat in a quiet bar during the day and lit one cigarette after another.
“I...I can't believe this.
Ha, what a farce.”
It is said that the Empress and the Prince kept hugging and crying for a long time.
'This is why I don't like children.
Even if he is a dragon, he is eight years old, he cannot be independent from his mother.'
If the matter had been discovered after a longer time, the differences would have deepened and they would not have reconciled so quickly.
But perhaps because of the Empress's love for him in his early childhood, they returned to each other.
'Jayden is done.
He will grow up like such an insolent woman.'
He felt suffocated at the thought.
He hated to see people unfit for their high positions.
'The management atmosphere is tense but no problem comes back to me, so it's okay.'
But what bothered him now was the ridiculous document sent by Namia Rawabi.
'What?
What is the percentage of manuscripts in educational materials?
Did you check that?
'Did she really go crazy?'
Namiya's request to the Ministry of Education was exaggerated and ridiculous.
It's as if she's saying, "You have committed a sin.
Won't you refuse?"
‘If I do it, I will be angry, and if I reject it, the timing is suspicious.’
While he was lighting a new cigarette, the waiter pretended to clean his ashtray and dropped a small piece of paper.
'...What is this?'
The Minister of Education quickly opened the paper:
“We regret that we did not respond to your previous message, but I am confident that you will agree with our goal.”
They were “them.”
“They” got back in touch with him.
“With the passage of time, the number of nobles became very large.
Everyone exceeds his limits without discrimination.
The only solution is to separate the superior from the inferior.”
The Minister of Education breathed heavily.
correct.
The nobles were very numerous.
Namiya Rawabi is the daughter of Baron...
“We trust that you will share our goal.
We will wait.”
He swallowed.
His eyes moved to the concluding remark:
“Note: Currently, we consider Manuscripts Department Minister Namia Rawabi the first target for removal.”
naturally.
There were a lot of “those” in the Manuscript Department, so how much would Namya, who suddenly took over the position of minister, bother them?
“Can you help us, Mr.
Minister?”
The Minister of Education stared at the last line for a long time.
* * *
“Get out quickly!
I'm dying of curiosity!”
The Empress continued her importunity.
From the sound of her voice, it sounded like she was kicking her feet from waiting.
The seamstress smiled confidently and took me behind the curtain:
“Haha, don’t be too surprised.”
With a fake laugh, the seamstress led me forward.
I left smiling shyly and embarrassed.
“It will definitely be very beautiful...”
The Empress, who was laughing, stopped completing her sentence.
Jayden dropped the candy he was eating.
And…
'Ah, what is this?'
Kibon's expression was strange.
His face was like someone seeing me for the first time.
Even though he faces me daily, it seems as if he sees me recently...
'What is this?' 'At least say something.'
Kibune never opened his closed mouth.
But he was watching me from head to toe, as if he was examining me.
I shuddered for a moment at his frank, unconcealed look.
'What is that expression on the secretary's face?'
It would have been better if he had said “very beautiful” like any subordinate to lighten the mood...
But this is impossible with Kibune.
In a short silence, our eyes met repeatedly.
At that moment:
“...I'm going to ask a question here.
A very important matter.”
Jayden spoke without picking up his candy:
“Namiya, who will accompany you?”
There was suddenly silence in the Empress's room.
Even the lounge staff who were arranging the folds of my dress smiled expectantly.
“Ah, escort...”
I blinked slowly and whispered.
Facilities...
Of course I've thought about it before.
“Um, so...”
Jayden sat up straight, straightened his voice, and spoke in a clear voice:
“You know that St.
Cairo's banquet is only for a few, right?
They can invite someone as an attendant but usually they don't do it for the sake of atmosphere.”
I knew that.
I visited the banquet hall several times to inspect the decorative manuscripts.
“But, Namiya, you don't have friends who are children of high nobles, do you?
So you haven't decided on a companion yet, right?”
"Ah, yes.
I haven't decided yet."
Jayden's lips started to lift into a smile.
His thought was clear in his eyes.
The Empress also took a quick breath and whispered, “Good, good!” To encourage him.
I laughed nervously and said:
“The banquet is a few days away, and asking someone for a companion embarrasses me...”
“Why are you asking?”
Jayden shouted, clenching his fist.
“You have to ask!”
“Well… no one has asked for me yet, Your Highness.”
Jayden sighed, his face carrying millennial worries.
He bit his lower lip and murmured, “Hmm, what is my brother doing...”
I raised my eyebrows and continued:
“Frankly, I don’t have time to think about a partner.”
“Good, then how about this?
I’ll choose for you.”
Jayden smiled and said:
“From now on, you will go with the first man who asks you as an escort.”
"Yes?"
“You said thinking bothers you.”
He quickly pointed to a servant.
He quickly wrote something on a piece of paper and put it in his pocket, saying, “My brother, quickly!”
"Good, good!
My genius son!
Clever Cupid!" whispered the Empress from the side.
“Okay...”
It was hard to say no, and I was almost nodding in agreement when:
"Fine!
Deal!
You're a witness, aren't you?
But no matter how I look…"
The Empress turned to Kippon and said a word.
And before you finish…
Coooom!
An explosion suddenly rang out.
"Yes!"
“Oh mother!”
They shouted and sat around me in the hall.
I blinked in amazement.
The Empress was holding an iron hammer and complaining.
The explosion was from the sudden blow of her hammer.
“Ha, this bastard...”
The floor Kibun stood on was shattered.
'When did you grab the hammer from the wall and when did you hit?'
Incredible speed.
But Kibun remained expressionless, just moving to the side slightly.
"Did you see, Namiya?
Did you see that with your eyes?"
The Empress raised her eyebrows and said:
“This fox is not ordinary.
His nose is bleeding from a few nights out?
Ha, playing around to avoid work.”
Kibon didn't seem surprised.
He just flicked the dust off his sleeve with a “knock, knock” sound.
“Ha, look at this arrogant person?
Usually those who are silent and have a bad temper cannot be reformed.”
The Empress clicked her tongue dissatisfiedly:
"I felt it from the beginning.
Don't keep it around you, Namiya."
"Yes?
What..."
Even if you hate talking about absent people, how do you say this in front of him...
While I was confused:
“I really hate liars.”
The Empress continued with shining eyes:
“This boy is deceiving you.
I'm sure.”
