Section 126 Contradictions
"But...... This is the law left by Garunas. The little girl replied seriously. "And it was a law made after the end of the War of Unification. What a sage like him formulates should have a purpose, right?"
"I'm a bit boastful of saying that, but in my personal self-evaluation, even if I don't beat Garunas, at least I'm not worse than him. Although Garunas is a sage, he is only a sage after all, not a saint. ”
It wasn't the first time Ashrufat had said something like this, but it had never been so naked before.
"The reason why Byron was able to launch such a rebellion was nothing more than relying on his own power. According to intelligence, our Duke Byron already has more than 30,000 troops, which is on par with, if not more than, the Guards. However, before his ambitions were exposed, his actions were completely legitimate, and no one could accuse him. ”
Ashrufat stopped, staring at the little girl's face. Perhaps because of the tone of his voice, the little girl looked a little uneasy.
"For the future of this country...... It wasn't enough to kill Byron. I'll do what Garunas didn't finish. ”
"How?"
"War, the only war, is the final verdict of everything. Ashrufat replied. "Kill them all, and it's over. He said in an unabashed tone. "Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to canonize a new nobleman, but you have to add all kinds of restrictions by law. ”
He originally thought that the little girl would show a look of embarrassment, or at least hesitate for a long time. But the little girl only hesitated slightly, and immediately nodded.
"I agree with your judgment. The little girl said very seriously.
"I'm thinking and preparing. Ashrufat replied. "It's going to take a lot of time, a lot of energy. I'll make some plans for the situation tonight, and I'll be here tomorrow morning for a formal audience with you. ”
The meaning of his words was obvious, although the little girl wanted to be closer to Ashrufat, but she had to say goodbye and leave.
"Mother-in-law. After leaving Ashrufat's office, the little girl asked the old woman softly. "Ashrufat has suddenly become so cold to me. ”
"Your Majesty, you forgot. He's just returned from a journey. The mother-in-law said softly. "He's a strong man, but he's probably going to need a good rest now. On top of that, he had to put his plans in order. Didn't he just say that, Your Majesty, that he is doing his best for you now, and you should be happy. ”
"Yes, I should be happy. The little girl's slightly depressed mood immediately recovered.
Indeed, as he had promised, Ashruphat had come early in the morning to ask for an audience with the little girl. He came at a very fortuitous time, because the little girl was having breakfast.
According to the requirements of etiquette, a queen should not accept the audience of her subordinates during a meal. This kind of thing is indeed relatively rare, because even a reasonable person would not disturb his neighbor while he is eating. And even more so for the king. If such an accident does occur, then the minister, who did not choose the right time, must wait outside.
But the relationship between the little girl and Eshurufat has long been no longer an ordinary monarch. At least in the little girl's own heart. So even though it was breakfast time, Ashrufat was allowed to enter.
When Ashrufat came in, he saw the little girl sitting in the middle of the dining room.
By the standards of a king, it was a cramped restaurant and an ordinary breakfast. The little girl sat at the top of a small table, and there were six or seven plates on it at this time. She bit down on an apple delicately and superficially as she looked at Ashrufat as she entered. The main content of the Queen's breakfast consisted of sausages, bread and milk, as well as a few colours of fruit, and she was alone in the meal.
If outsiders are present, it is easy to see that the rumor that the little queen's financial situation is not groundless.
At the door of the restaurant were two ordinary guards standing guard, and Ashrufat did not see Laria, but he believed that it was not because of Laria's negligence, but that she was deliberately avoiding Ashrufat. Since the last time they met, Lalia had been deliberately not meeting with Ashrufat. If any order was to be given, it had to be conveyed through Rhodia.
Ashrufat stood at the entrance to the room. Because this dining room is really small, smaller than the dining room of the original estate of the Blasian twins. As long as two adults can seem a little cramped.
"Ashrufat......" When the little girl saw Ashrufat, her expression seemed to want to stand up and hug him, but perhaps because of the two guards at the door, she still didn't move in the end. "Is there anything you'd like to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have some personnel requests. Ashrufat said. "I want to resign as Chancellor of the Exchequer. ”
The little girl was shocked and confused for a second, but he immediately remembered what Eshurufat had said last night, so she immediately understood that this "resignation" did not mean that Ashrufat planned to leave her and quit from now on, but just wanted to change to a more suitable position.
Then again, the first impression of Ashrufat is that of a soldier, not a financial person. He was in this position because of circumstances.
"Ah, nevertheless," the little girl blinked. "But the Chancellor of the Exchequer ......"
"I have a suitable proxy candidate. Ashrufat replied. "In fact, I have heard that you intend to appoint the former Minister of the Interior, the current Governor of Brasian, the Marquis of Ellene, to the post of Prime Minister?"
"Ah, yes, indeed. The little girl honestly admitted. She clutched the apple in her hand, but didn't bite down any more. "Why, isn't this appointment appropriate?" she looked at Ashruphat with some uneasiness. She knew that Ashrufat was also from Blasian, could it be that the two of them were unhappy?
"No, quite appropriate, actually. Ashrufat smiled. "I heard that the Marquis of Ellenn was loyal to his duty, but was finally ostracized by Byron, and was driven to become the governor of Bracian...... His personal integrity and competence are beyond doubt. In addition, although he is old, he is still in good health, and he should be a very suitable candidate for prime minister. The reason why I mention him is just by chance. Because the person I want to nominate for the Chancellor of the Exchequer is also from Brassian. Maybe they can take office at the same time. ”
"Ah, what is the name of the one you are going to recommend to me, and what is so important to you?" asked the little girl.
"Her name is Shirley. Ashrufat replied.
"Female?" the little girl was stunned for a moment, female ministers are not common. "What does she do? Well, I mean...... What do you think she can ...... In this role?"
"From a legal point of view, her current status is just a ...... Civilian. Ashrufat replied. "But I believe she's capable enough to do it...... And it's trustworthy. As for what I'm so sure about, well, to be honest, she's my wife. ”
The apple slipped from the little girl's hand and fell to the ground. But the little girl didn't even look at the apple much, but looked at Ashrufat blankly.
"Wife...... But...... But ......" the little girl found her voice trembling. "On your profile, it says 'unmarried'!"
She was sure of this, as she had personally gone to Skadra to investigate Ashrufat's profile. As the Queen's personal bodyguard, Ashrufat's profile must be registered and written by Skadera himself.
"Ah, not strictly a wife, only my fiancée. Ashrufat replied. "I have four fiancées and she is one of them. ”
"Four ......," the little girl repeated. It's a very ordinary number, but at the moment it is as dizzying as thunder.
"Well, it may be a bit inappropriate to appoint her directly, so I suggest that she act as Chancellor of the Exchequer first and wait for ......," said Ashrufat, and suddenly he noticed that something was not quite right with the little girl.
"Next ......" the little girl lowered her head and seemed to say something indistinctly. Even with Ashrufat's hearing, he couldn't hear clearly.
"What did you say, Your Majesty?" asked Ashrufat.
"Next...... Under...... Obscene !!" The little girl brewed for several seconds, and finally let out a roar.
"Shameless!! shameless! Get out of here!"
After this roar, the guards on duty at the door were stunned to see plates, bowls, cups, spoons, towels, milk, bread, fruits, cushions, forks, books, and other things flying out of the door of the restaurant like drops. Ashrufat then exited the room in disarray, his neat clothes stained white with milk, and a small cream cake ended his journey in his hair.
The room was so small that even Ashruphat couldn't dodge so many dense attacks, so he had to stagger out. The little queen did not stop until she had nothing else to throw at hand. She wasn't strong enough, or she wouldn't have thrown her chair out of the window, and the table would be no exception.
"Get out of here!" shouted the little girl.
Ashrufat stopped. "Your Majesty, it seems that you are emotionally unstable...... Then I'll quit first. He replied, removing the cream cake from his head, which had been an after-dinner snack. He spoke in a calm tone, but the way he looked at the moment was really embarrassing.
"Stop!" the little girl was angry and angry. "Who...... Who allowed you to go!"
"Didn't you just tell me to get out?" Ashruphat couldn't understand the little girl's logic at all. She was the one who told him to get out, and she was the one who told him not to leave.
"I won't let you go!" the little girl's expression looked like she was about to cry, but it looked like she was angry to a certain limit.
