Night.

After talking to First Prime Minister Jean, I summoned Fourth Prime Minister Don to the office.

He told Don to prepare his grandchildren for the first battle.

Listening to the part of the story, Don's eyes glowed.

Awesome, Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be able to use the visit of His Royal Highness Prince Thunder in such a way.

I don't know.

Huh?

Astonishing, Don.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at me with a stunned expression.

“What does that mean?”

"That's why Prince Thunder originally came. Don't think so."

"For that?"

Think about it. At this timing, why did Prince Thunder come to me at this timing?

"That's... for the Empress-"

"Certainly, it is not strange for Indra to do so." I'm not usually interested in politics, but reigning on closed land and making life funny. That's why I came here to complain about my granddaughter without worrying about the emperor.... there's a character to it. "

"Haa..."

But that's Prince Thunder.

Huh?

"[Thunder] --a prince with a title." I don't think that attitude is a lie at all, but I think that the lantern contains a lot of ingredients. "

"It's true... it looks desolate, and the administration of the enclosed land has hardly ever had a problem before"

"On the contrary, if you look closely, you will rule better than any prince."

……

Don nodded heavily.

I smiled.

It wasn't that hard to begin with.

People like Indra are either really incompetent, or they're just playing the samurai.

And I can't see Indra being incompetent.

If so, the answer comes naturally.

I don't think Indra will come just to talk about Audrey.

At the very least... at this time.

“That's why I came. I just wanted to get on it."

Your Majesty, indeed.

Don bowed his head deeply.

Hmm?

I could read the thought of Prince Thunder in an instant, without any warning, and match it in the best possible way.

"More than that, please be prepared - I understand your thoughts."

Haha

Don bowed his head and walked out.

I was left alone in the office.

After sending Don out, a young cadre came in.

How are you doing tonight, Your Majesty?

"Hmm? Yeah, not tonight either."

Will

For a moment, I couldn't understand what it was, and immediately said, "Who are you going to deal with at night? I understood that it was a question of.

The opponents of the Emperor's night are well recorded in the official documents, so the basic form is like this, and the imperial officer listens to the hope and sets it up.

Once upon a time, there was a literary writer who said that the emperor's harem was no different from a brothel, but he was so powerful that he thought twice about becoming an emperor.

Of course, I refused because I don't feel like it now.

I just stood up.

When I walked through the office, I heard from the side of the plaintiff.

"Which way?"

"I'm going to the archives. If anyone comes, let them through."

Will

He walked on the spot among the eunuchs.

Soon, another young eunuch followed.

Unlike the young eunuchs in the management, the young eunuchs have followed in the form of using and using the paper.

With such a young eunuch, I headed through an empty hallway to the desired library.

When the emperor walked, there was basically no one in the hallway.

In theory, since it is "unbelievable to interfere with the emperor's path," when the emperor moves, the circular is thorough, and he makes sure not to show his face so that no one meets him.

However, the actual place is slightly different.

More to the point, “it all started with a different reason.”

I saw a young eunuch who followed me around the back.

I remembered it on my face.

If it's someone, it's Luke.

“Yes, yes! It's Luke.”

Umu

I nodded tinyly.

It was that young boy who became a priest because of his sister's medication.

What happened to my sister? Has the surgeon gone yet?

"Yes, yes! As soon as I talked to him after that, he went away."

"Hmm, well, how about that?"

……

Luke burst into tears.

"Mm."

I've got the worst imagination in my head.

One of the common patterns is that there is no longer any way to save the patient, but there is still a pattern of doctors deceiving the patient with just money, and letting him have only hope, and extending the treatment cost and medicine cost.

I thought maybe...

"How did it go?"

"Oh, thank you."

"... Huh?"

"The doctor told me that my sister is tough." That would definitely help. "

Haha, is that so?

I looked up at the ceiling and laughed.

If you can help me, there's nothing wrong with it.

It was the psychiatrist who sent me there, and it was me who sent me there.

In other words, the emperor's fate, from the psychiatrist's side, is that if he can't be saved, his neck may fall.

Even a few difficult diseases will heal you whole body, and you will feel safe if you are sick.

I can't recover from being castrated for my sister, but at least my sister will be saved.

I felt better after all. [M]

Suddenly, Luke caught my attention.

I was a little curious about the boy's youth.

"Luke"

Yes, yes.

Luke wiped his tears and replied in a hurry.

"Have you ever had anybody under your sleeve?"

Eh!

As I walked, I glanced back again.

Luke was too surprised, stopping his legs, and his mouth was wide open.

I kept on messing around a little bit.

What, did you get it?

"Oh, no!" No, that's definitely not true! "

Really?

It's true!

Luke ran out in a hurry and approached me.

As it is, I lie flat on the ground, raising my face and appealing strongly with my gaze.

"Oh, I don't have a chance to meet people at all!"

You don't have to be a great guy, do you?

Huh?

"Come on, don't you have a conversation with the lady?"

"Huh? What do you mean...?"

Puzzled Luke.

When I first heard the word "under the sleeve", I rebounded with a pale momentum.

Next, when I heard "lady", I was wondering as a pompous person.

The one in front understands the meaning, and the one in the back doesn't.

I thought maybe this wasn't really the case.

He asked Luke even more as he giggled.

"Didn't the lady tell you to take the bottom of the sleeve and give me a place and time where I could be?"

I don't have one. ― ― Oh.

"What's the matter?"

”I wonder if that's what it's like...”

Huh?

"Yes, there was one of the ladies who asked my sister (...,...) about it." I don't know if you're getting paid. "

I see. You got it.

"Hah, hah..."

Luke turns his life around.

It was irrelevant to me, and I was no longer frightened or impatient, but I seemed to remain confused.

Incidentally, many of the eunuchs were also castrated, so the eunuchs call them "sisters" rather than "brothers".

This was also the case with the idea that the emperor was the only man in the palace.

"Is that what you meant..."

"It's a common occurrence. If I was to be seen first and receive a favor, I would run up to the Queen at once from the working lady. It is important to keep abreast of the trends to this end. It's going to be money, isn't it? What about my movements?"

"Hah, hah..."

"If you come up with a story like that, you can have it."

"... yeah... yeah!?"

Luke raised a screaming, raucous voice.

"Oh, no, I can't."

"Don't start early, take it." I just know the information you want. "

"But..."

Instead of that...

I interrupted Luke's words with a twitch.

Luke noticed a change in my tone and bored the word "ugh".

"Who did you get it from, and what did you say?" Just remember that and report it to me. "

"Huh? Ah... I see."

”Nnh”

Satisfied with Luke's reply, I nodded in satisfaction.

This young boy is a wise boy after all.

From my words, I understood that this was a kind of impudence, as ordered, and I immediately accepted it.

Besides, I have a flexible mindset.

If this were stupid or hard-headed, I'd have been demonstrating all the time.

The more the ears, the better. The case of Audrey brought by Indra as a pre-builder is also reasonable, so I thought it would be better to grasp the movements of the female officers.

Because I talked, I started to talk again.

I was in a hurry to pick up Luke, and I came to the library.

"Stay there."

Yes, yes.

Put Luke there and go into the library.

Thousands of books flicker, and you head to the corner where you're used to passing through.

It was a part of the city that housed a collection of historical books.

I'm sure... there was a story close to the Perwar Empire.

While soloing, I pull out a book that describes the history of the Purwar Empire, which dominated the earth about 500 years ago, and turn it around.

Carefully pick up each letter and each episode described.

Around this time, humans hadn't dominated the monsters yet.

A small number of parts in the book note down the battle between humans and monsters.

Your Majesty

”Nnh”

Raise your face.

Audrey stood there.

My main room, the Empire's mother.

The Empress, Audrey, appeared in a stunned gesture.

"Audrey, what's the matter?"

"I sent someone to the office, but I heard that your Majesty is here alone."

I see. There must have been an eunuch on the front?

"I made him shut up."

I see.

I giggled.

Audrey is a good Empress.

She has never set foot in the office.

Historically, there has been no time to enumerate the interference of the Shogunate in politics.

In any case, if you are a young man and you are an emperor, it won't be a scandalous result.

I'm not sure if it's going to happen, but Audrey won't set foot in the government office or the office that represents her anyway.

Even now, I still have people there, but it seems that they came after knowing that I am alone in a place that has nothing to do with government.

Incidentally, it's good to call it "silence."

It seemed that the Empress's majesty had come to the point where she could say "silenced" the eunuch.

“What are you reading?”

Audrey turned to me, asking me that.

Then stand beside me and look at the open history book.

It's the history of the late Perwar Empire.

"Is this the Perwar Empire...?"

“About 500 years ago, it was an empire with about two-thirds the size of today's empire.”

"Why would you do something like that?"

To Audrey, who was pure wonder, I replied with a smile.

"History is repetitive. Hundreds of years -- no, we haven't changed our nature since a thousand years, and we're just repeating the same thing."

"Is that what it is?"

"For example."

I said it with a smile.

"A female officer who tries to get the cadre to hold the change and explore the emperor's trends." This is the present, the past, and the future. "

Indeed, it will be repeated in the future.

Audrey giggled.

For example, there are people who make the nose rough that "should be eradicated" what humans do, but regardless of the environment and the times, we cannot eradicate what humans just do.

It is also impossible to eradicate money from power struggles.

Audrey seems to recognize it well and correctly.

"That's why I learn from history. In my past experiences, there is only one person in my life (,,), but since there are countless things from history, I can learn all kinds of things. It's not really unprecedented."

"... Your Majesty is amazing after all"

Audrey snuggled up and leaned on me.

A heartfelt compliment, even if you are used to hearing it, makes you feel better each time.
