Chapter 212 – For You, for Me
Fortnight later.
The system, the main hall of the imperial palace.
“Your majesty. The new Minister of Cavalry, Taidin Kaihaden, has followed your Majesty’s orders and has slain all the demons residing in the Empire.”
Among the ministers standing on his left and right his, Tai Dean humbly submits a report while kneeling on one knee.
It was fortunate that he was able to deal with the demons faster than expected. Benellia, who was sitting on her throne her, holding her armrest in her reclined position, nodded her head.
“He suffered. It is the national duty of this country to stay away from evil and keep God close. You personally elevated the national prestige and correctly carried out my decrees. There will be personal punishment in relation to it, so it is good to look forward to it.”
“The castle is ruined, Your Majesty!”
“Of course you will have to be embarrassed. Rather, the captain of the guards.”
Proban, who has been called, comes out of the group of servants and enters the center. Fro Ban bowed her head in her respect towards Benelia, who was sitting on the throne at the top of her.
“Yes. Your majesty. Xiamen please.”
“It is. I heard that the people who rose up as rebels due to my father’s tyranny made a great contribution to driving out the demons this time. Is Jim right?”
“It is. Since they were not born and raised in the islands, but strong men with strong bones working in various parts of the empire, it was easy to entrust them with the search because they knew the places where demons could hide.”
“It is truly an example of a soldier to take the lead by example in spite of the lack of cooperation with the imperial family. The head of the guards, ask them to find out who would like to join the guards.”
“I will follow your orders-“
“No! Your majesty!”
The servant who shouted loudly stepped forward. He was the finance minister who oversaw and oversaw the newly appointed cashiers during the reorganization of the imperial family.
“An old saying says that a person who betrays once is easy twice. But how could His Majesty use the rebels who rose from the imperial family as guards? It may be that you are looking for an opportunity and doing a face-to-face belly. Please take your words away.”
At the request of the Minister of Finance, there was a stir among the servants. Benelia, on the other hand, only frowned at her, as if annoyed. At first glance, she could have mistaken it as a correct statement, but from Benelia’s point of view, it was just a frustrating sound.
“Since you talk about betrayal, don’t ask about betrayal. Did a group of rebels rise up to attack me?”
“It is not. However, it is true that they were dissatisfied with the imperial family.”
“Is that imperial family the current imperial family? Or is it my father’s imperial family?”
“…… The emperor’s imperial family is coming.”
“If that’s the case, the rebels wouldn’t have betrayed me. Moreover, when I started the revolution, they gave me strength. Is there any disagreement on this?”
The Treasury Secretary held back his words and lowered his head. Because he had nothing to refute.
“How can you call the people who rose from tyranny a traitor and talk about betrayal? Even if you can’t sympathize with the famine and suffering they went through, shouldn’t you blame them? Also, it is against the commands of the god of light to throw away those who helped. Does the Secretary of the Treasury really want me to blaspheme?”
The sharp narrowed golden eyes glared at the finance minister as if scolding him. In response, the finance minister bowed even deeper and corrected his mistake.
“Your majesty. It seems that my allegiance has gone astray. I will admit my mistake a hundred times and be punished accordingly, so please fix it.”
“You are making a fuss. What kind of punishment do you mean? Now, tell me the outcome of the meeting you had with the president of Carastain Bank.”
“Ah, I will.”
The finance minister, who quickly raised his waist, cleared his throat by clearing his throat.
“In exchange for dispatching the Holy Knights to Yebrinus as Your Majesty said, we requested that the imperial interest be forgiven for nearly five years. In response, the bank manager expressed his opinion that he would give an answer after a positive review. In addition, he asked me to convey to His Majesty the Emperor who sits on the throne that he would be reducing it.”
“Review positively. It must be highly probable that such words came out of the mouth of that shrewd serpent. Finance minister. If the bank president accepts the offer, will it solve the national debt?”
“Yes. It is possible enough if we hurry up the development of the Manastone Mine that His Majesty has occupied. The witches who have various related knowledge are also cooperative with the imperial family, so it is believed that there will be no major difficulties in developing the mine.”
“Excellent.”
A satisfied smile forms on Benelia’s lips. It was natural for her to be happy as the evil that her father her, Calvaness had scattered, had been corrected and the national debt was about to be repaid.
But not everything about the cashier was to my liking. She smiled unexpectedly, and Benelia looked down at the Secretary of the Treasury with a rather displeased look.
“By the way, the Minister of Finance. Is the current state of the national treasury very bad?”
“Not necessarily. Riches are coming in from many places every day, saying that His Majesty is reducing the number of people ascending to the throne.”
“It is nice to hear that. It can’t be a slope. But why doesn’t the cashier follow Jim’s orders?”
“…… Your majesty? I’m sorry, but the cashier is faithfully following the imperial order.”
“You can’t hear me. What day is tomorrow?”
Tomorrow? The finance minister, who had been thinking and thinking hard in his head with his brow furrowed, managed to remember the holiday.
“Ah. The day of Viscount Theorard’s wedding is coming.”
“You know that. Then you must remember that I told him to take care of him so that he would not be disappointed.”
“Yes. So, in order to follow her words, we divided the wagons into four wagons and filled them with goods, adding her skilled servants and expensive livestock…….”
“Add six more wagons.”
The Treasury Secretary’s shoulders tremble. Adding six more units is not a problem in itself, but it was clear that there would be some difficulties related to it.
In order to raise money right away, I had to work overtime and bring in expenses for various events in advance. In vulgar language, it was said that the cashier’s staff, including the finance minister, had to go through high school.
“Your majesty….”
I still have a lot of work, so how can I not? The Chancellor of the Treasury stared at him imploringly, but Benelia didn’t care.
“What are you doing? Add six more. You will have to go right now to be ready by tomorrow.”
“…… I will obey your order.”
The finance minister, who responded by crying and eating mustard, turns around. Benelia smiled lowly as she looked at her back her and waved her hand at her servants her.
“Cao Cham ends with this. Now everyone go away.”
“”Yes, Your Majesty!””
At the emperor’s command, the servants who bowed their heads lined up to go to the front. But not everyone went blackout.
After sending everyone else away, Roylen, who was left alone, took Benelia’s notice and moved closer. Benelia, who was about to rise from her throne her, naturally turned to Illen.
“…… What do you do You should have said it was over.”
“I know, but I was so rude out of personal curiosity.”
“You caught the emperor of a country out of personal curiosity. It is disloyalty that would not be lacking even if punished by envy.”
A cold gaze makes the heart flutter. As Roylen pursed her lips in embarrassment, she let out a laugh that Benelia couldn’t contain.
“Puhh……. It’s farm It’s funny how scared you are.”
“Your majesty. I think I’m sincere…….”
“To be stupid. Why would I kill a loyalist?”
A wave of emotion waved in Roilen’s eyes at the word ‘loyalty’. Benelia, who was burdened by that, corrected her posture with a slightly uncomfortable expression.
“Then why did you call me? I wonder if my influence is needed for this senior professor review.”
“Oh, no. Don’t worry, I’ll take the position of senior professor on my own. What I’m curious about is just…….”
“Just?”
“I wonder if His Majesty would not attend Viscount Theorard’s wedding…….”
Benelia patted her armrest and leaned back on her throne. The calm expression on her face somehow submerged in her depths her. Benelia, who hesitated for a while to answer her, opened her heavy mouth.
“…… I’d like to attend and congratulate you, but I’m busy with work, so I don’t think I’ll have time. You will go in my place and brighten up the place.”
“Can you really do that?”
“What would it be? For the time being, it’s only right to put your feelings for Theorad aside, so there’s no other option.”
Roylen, who was about to humbly accept her Benelia’s decision her, raised her head, noticing something strange about her.
“Your majesty? What do you mean for a while?”
“The mind is such a fickle thing, and even if I wanted to give up, I couldn’t. Later, when he can afford it, Esily tries to ask the woman in secret. So…….”
What nonsense am I talking about now? It’s not like talking about affairs in front of a minister. Benelia, with a faint smile, robbed her seat her and stood up.
“Enough and go. I have a lot to do.”
“Yes? Ah, yes.”
What on earth could the emperor of an empire ruling over all ask of a single lady? It was Roilen that she couldn’t figure out, but she didn’t bother to interrogate. It was because Benelia’s smile her, which was noticeably more than before, was very nice to see.
*
Meanwhile, the castle of Count Pelgarin.
Leoberg’s office.
“Finally it’s tomorrow.”
Leoberg speaks in the tone of what is to come. The magazine sitting across from her nodded as if her father her was right.
Her face her, which seems shy but full of joy, evokes a sense of satisfaction. Leo Berg looked at her daughter her and continued.
“Don’t be too nervous. You shouldn’t go to bed late because you’re nervous. You have to sleep soundly and wake up to be beautiful.”
Leoberg gave advice in a solemn voice, but Esily couldn’t listen. It was because her father her, Leo Berg, had a more nervous face than her.
Not to mention her clenched fist her, one of her legs her was shaking from earlier. Deep blue pupils are straightforward, but their every action is uneasy.
What if you are more worried and nervous than the person concerned? However, he did n’t hate it, so he showed a friendly smile that he was featured in.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Hearing the answer, Leo Berg nodded his head earnestly. Leo Berg, who lifted the cup from his desk to quench his thirst, put down his cup and said.
“By the way, my daughter. Is there any reason you want her wedding to be held in the chapel of Viscount Deharm?”
“…… Do you like it?”
“Can that be? It’s just because I wonder why he chose that small church over the cathedral of the parish.”
The cathedral of the parish is a building several times larger than the church on the site of Viscount Deharm.
Since this is a wedding that only happens once in her life, she might naturally want to hold the ceremony in a luxurious and grand place, but Essilly said that she would rather hold the ceremony at the church of the Viscount Deharm, rather than the cathedral .
‘The reason is…….’
It was because Theorard’s father and mother held their wedding ceremony in that very chapel. Theo Rad didn’t show it, but he seemed to want to hold the ceremony in the same space as his father.
So, Esily wanted to match Theorad as much as possible. Because Theorard knew better than anyone how much he respected his father.
There was no need to explain this in detail. Because the source of all actions could be explained in one line.
“Esily?”
Facing Leo Berg, who was waiting for her answer her, Essilie pursed her lips with her sweet face.
“Because I love Theorard.”
