Chapter 254 – Kaldrashu Harem ~The Case of Maids~
After eating breakfast with the two people, I went to work at the Oz Government-General Building.
The means of transportation I used on my way to work was a public carriage, which has now become one of Oz’s standard means of transportation.
‘First, anyone with a horse-drawn carriage can run a business, so it’s easy to create jobs.’
Of course, since carriages do not cost a penny or two, the Government General is currently conducting a trial run by renting them out for a certain amount of money every month.
Since you can rent a carriage and then own it automatically after 3 years, even people without any special skills are jumping into this public carriage business to make money.
‘Of course, since both dogs and cows are accepted, there are some side effects.’
That will be a problem that will gradually be improved in the future.
Rattling-!
“Guest, you have arrived.”
“Thank you.”
After listening to the coachman’s words, I got off the public carriage I was riding, stretched to relieve my sore body, and looked up at the Ozu Government-General Building.
It was originally the royal palace of Oz, but now it is a place that is completely recognized as the government-general’s office.
Because the Oz Royal Castle was a symbolic building in many ways, the building was preserved as much as possible by maintaining its original form instead of remodeling the interior to suit its purpose.
Damaging a building that contains the country’s history may cause resentment.
“Welcome! Governor!”
“You’ve worked hard since morning.”
I waved to the guard who recognized my face and quickly saluted me, then walked up the tall stairs of the government building.
The square in front of the government building, which was occupied by protesters just a short while ago, is now completely quiet and clean.
Of course, the reason was the bloody purge I carried out not long ago.
‘Because I set a good example.’
Basically, I am a skeptical person about the politics of terror.
However, that does not mean he was not a person who hesitated to use violence when it was necessary.
There would be nothing more to say if it was an insult to my family.
Thanks to this incident, the remaining forces of the independence army have been completely eradicated, so it will be quiet for a while.
“Hello! Governor!”
“I have a great beard today too!”
As I entered the building, passing employees greeted me one by one.
Since I had no intention of asserting my authority, I just smiled and waved at them.
It’s not like you’re making any money just by waving your hand, and if you can win the favor of employees with just this kind of gesture, that’s a good business.
‘This is de-authorization.’
When you take the elevator to the third floor of the government building, you finally arrive at the governor’s office, which was originally used as the king’s study.
“Are you here? Governor.”
Waiting for me inside the governor’s office was Agnes, who succeeded me as Oz’s chief treasurer.
Now that she has achieved quite a bit of authority, she is publicly nicknamed the ‘Iron Lady’ even outside the Government General, but even Agnes is nothing more than a gentle sheep in front of me.
That’s because it’s the same as if I raised it in the first place.
“What’s going on today?”
“I brought the payment documents with me.”
“If it’s something like that, ask a subordinate to do it.”
“This is a document that goes to the governor, so of course I have to come in person.”
As Agnes said that, she slightly lowered her head and held out her payment documents and her fountain pen in a polite manner.
Surprisingly, her fountain pen is something I gave her as a gift before.
“Do you still have this?”
“Because it was handed down from the governor.”
Agnes said that and waved the approval board as if asking for an autograph quickly.
After she signed her payment document with the fountain pen she held out, I handed her the fountain pen again.
Then Agnes put her fountain pen in her chest pocket and said.
“Have you heard the rumors going around on the streets these days?”
“What rumor?”
“The rumor is that the governor is actually a huge womanizer and is seen with another woman every time I see him.”
“Well, it’s a rumor based on very objective facts.”
Upon hearing those words, Agnes looked as if she were dumbfounded.
“Please at least deny it. If the image of the Governor-General is damaged, the image of the entire Government-General will deteriorate.”
“It’s not a crime that I’m popular.”
And I don’t date women I don’t know.
Of course, considering my status, I could get involved with any number of women who are trying to rise in status through one-night stands, but when I think about the women in my family in the first place, it is literally like wrinkling in front of a chrysalis.
Not only is the face a face, but the inner tone is also perfect.
In the first place, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to live up to my name if there were more women here.
Upon hearing my agony, Agnes looked like she was feeling something indescribable, but she quickly sighed and said,
“Governor, please never reveal such concerns to any female subordinate other than me. They will probably be despised.”
“Hey, I know how to read that kind of mood. I’m saying this because it’s you, Agnes, in the first place.”
“Yes?”
“Why are you so surprised? I didn’t say anything strange.”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
Agnes’ face looked happy as she nodded her head while saying that.
“So, Agnes, do you have any good news?”
“Good news?”
“It’s almost time for you to get married. Or are you the type of person who says you’re married to your job?”
“…”
The reason I can’t refute it is that I always say things like that.
When I unconsciously made a sad expression, Agnes blushed and said, “Don’t worry about other people’s business!”, Then took her approval documents and left her office.
If I do that, I might die of old age as an old maid.
***
Work ended around 5pm that day.
Normally, you would be able to have fun and eat once you were the governor, but since I had the final decision on everything that happened in Oz, it was basically impossible to make a fuss.
After completing the last payment of the day, I contacted the secretarial department and told them that I would be leaving work.
“Good luck.”
After saying hello to the employees, I packed my bags and came out of the building, and before I knew it, the sky had turned red.
‘The days have become quite short.’
As I get older, it feels like time goes by much faster than when I was young.
It seems like summer is coming soon, winter is coming soon, and summer is coming soon again.
Of course, it might sound funny for someone who still has a long time left to live to say something like this, but that’s just my personal opinion.
I bought a bouquet of flowers at the flower shop in front of the carriage stop, and I automatically felt good thinking about Camilla’s joy when she received the flowers.
Happiness in life is not that far away.
“I’ve been there.”
When I finally arrived home, I opened the front door and went inside.
“Have you been there?”
When Camilla said that as she came out of the kitchen, I held out the bouquet of flowers she was holding.
“Gift.”
Then Camilla’s expression brightened.
“Oh my, it’s a pretty flower.”
“I thought of Camilla while I was there, so I bought it.”
When I said that and winked, Camilla smiled and kissed my cheek.
“Wash your hands quickly. Tonight’s dinner is Kaldrashu’s favorite beef stew.”
“Really?! I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, I rushed over to wash my hands and came back, and Sophia, who was in the kitchen, served me a plate of dark brown beef stew.
“Haha, you can look forward to the stew today. It’s really delicious.”
My anticipation rose without me even realizing it due to the words of Dorothea, who had already come and occupied the spot.
When I scooped up a spoonful and put it in my mouth, I was surprised by how delicious it was beyond my imagination.
“It’s delicious!”
“Really?”
Dorothea giggles as if she was expecting it, and Camilla says kindly, “I made a lot, so eat as much as you want.”
The two people seemed like polar opposites, but the fact that they were both my wives remained the same, so I ate the beef stew with a happy smile.
***
Humans basically have three desires: appetite, sex drive, and sleep desire.
Since the appetite has already been satisfied, all that remains is the desire for sex and the desire for sleep. In our house, there was a strong tendency to value the former more than the latter.
To borrow Dorothea’s words, sleep is like sleeping when you’re dead.
Anyway, that’s how I decided to love Camilla, who was on duty today, with all my might.
Knock!
“Come in.”
As soon as I get my permission, Camilla carefully opens the door and comes in.
Her appearance with more spirit than usual gave a strong feeling that tonight’s match would not be easy.
And maybe this premonition is not 100% wrong.
That’s because Camilla’s race is the succubus, the queen of the bed.
‘I wish you would be a little gentler today.’
I thought to myself, and extended my right hand to Camilla, who was wearing black lingerie.
“I’ll take care of you today.”
Camilla held my hand while saying that and then kissed me with a shy expression.
