Chapter 5 Episode 10

Editor: Starbuck11

It was the turning point of history.

The beginning of an incident that would later be engraved deeply into the history of the western continent, and it started with one seemingly unchanging morning.

”I told you it is up to you how to handle that, isn't it ? If you can't do it then for what reason did we appoint you ? This is not about can or can't do. No matter what it takes, make it work…”

Inside the Rozeria royal capital, Pireaus.

A shouting came from a woman and echoed inside the white castle located in the center of the city.

The two guards who heard the voice coming from inside the room could only sigh.

These two people didn't hate the lord of the room.

It was because they understood how hard the person had worked as someone who the young ruler of Rozeria trusted.

However, having to hear such shoutings daily, it could not help it that they wanted to sigh.

(It was a bad day today, huh…. Or rather, today too…)

Such thoughts appeared inside one of the man's mind.

In actuality, there was not even a day where the lord of the room seems to be in a good mood.

Back then when it was her first day after being given this big job, she entered the room with a smile on her face.

And in the past few months, this spectacle happened every day.

”But, Lord Lecter. Even I could only stand and watch without being able to do anything…”

A tall yet thin young man began to make an excuse to Meltina.

Thin sweat appeared on this nervous man.

Following the young man, the middle-aged man who was watching from the side opened his mouth slowly.

His stomach that protruded like a bag looked impressive.

”That's right. To be honest, we have no other way to do this. Of course, the problem will be solved immediately if her majesty makes her decision. However, right now the possibility is low. With that being the case, I suggest we do not rush and try to break it down gradually and make some allies…”

Being shouted down by Meltina who was younger and also a woman, both men faces showed dissatisfied expression.

Even though they didn't show it, they were experienced, low-level bureaucrats. They both had the experience and also achievements in handling various projects.

And according to them, Meltina demands wouldn't be able to be realized under current conditions.

(What are you being haughty for, you're just some novice when it comes to politics !  You're here just because you're her majesty lackey…)

If they spat out the dark feelings inside their hearts, it was hard to imagine how refreshed they would be.

The men desperately endured their desires that wanted to shout at Meltina without mercy.

It was not because they were arrogant, but they felt like that because of their pride as a person. More so when the situation present was not because of their fault.

Still, they cannot show their anger at Meltina here.

They aren't doing so not because of right or wrong, but more because of courtesy. They simply didn't want their future work being affected by it.

These two men didn't mean bad. They both understood the root cause of Lupis' policy not going as they had expected, thus they proposed some measures to Meltina at an early stage.

While the two worked as much as possible within the scope of their position. Which was why, despite not having a good result, it cannot be said that everything was their fault.

However, whether or not Meltina could show understanding to that argument was doubtful.

Or rather, as far as Melita character was concerned, the conclusions were visible.

She won't hear other people if it was not the same as her own justice or feelings. On the other hand, she might've ended up hating the people who deny her righteousness.

Towards those two men, Meltina eyebrows frowned. And her finger played frustrating tap dance on the table.

(Does that mean you need time ? Are you stupid ? Do you think we have that kind of time ?)

They were officials appointed when Lupis ascended to the throne.

Although these two men were rumored to be particularly outstanding among the young and middle-ranking officials, originally they wouldn't have had the chance to be in their current office. That was until Lupis took the throne.

It was because of Lupis that they could take the job of senior bureaucrats despite being only from lower-cla.s.s aristocracy.

That was why they could not say no…

But even so, they still arrived at the conclusion that the policy was not possible unless the reality changed.

”Need time you said ? Don't be stupid… Just how much more time do you need to spent ?!”

A considerable amount of time had pa.s.sed since Lupis took charge of the state's affairs.

Several months had pa.s.sed since Meltina took her new job.

(Yet, nothing changes… Nothing at all…)

Lupis got the throne… And became the ruler of the Rozeria Kingdom.

However, if one were to be asked whether or not there was some change, the answer would be difficult to say… There were some indeed. It was just that everything went bad compared to before her crowning.
