Portrait of Queen Berta: I accidentally got pregnant with His Majesty’s child

Treasurer Ovand and his wife were summoned by the Kings and went to the royal palace with great care in one incident at your meeting the other day.

However, he was passed through the depths of the Palace of Erwellar, which the court ministers rarely entered.It was a meeting room in a private royal living space.

Upon entering the reception room, Ovando was prompted to sit at a small tea party with the king and his wife, and his eyes turned black and white.

"Ovando, I must have called you in the other day, but go out with a little tea."

"Ha, ha."

"How many sugars?"

Without being able to hide the upset, Ovando put no sugar in the tea served and put the mouth first.

It was meant to be poisonous for the couple, but later it turned out that the invited Ovando had no need to do it at all, but rather was rude.

They could neither point it out nor hurt their feelings.

"Oh, that's the way it works. In order to taste the tea leaves, it is better to drink the first cup without adding anything.I always put sugar in immediately and make it sweet. "

There are few opportunities for Ovando to taste such expensive and intense tea.I didn't know whether the taste was good or bad.

"Your tea is always too sweet and surprising."

"Oh, sugar can be a medicine for fatigue."

Her Royal Highness did put in a small amount of sugar.Sugar is very expensive and a privileged appetite of the royal family.

Her Royal Highness does not normally like to decorate herself very well, but she remembers that she was undoubtedly the daughter of a millionaire in the south.

Her Royal Highness got down to business without making too many futile assumptions.

"― ― Counting the contents of the national treasury, I will completely cover all the wealth of this country.You said there's no such thing as accounting anywhere in the world. "

"... yes, it's not a simple matter of keeping a household ledger."

Despite being swallowed by the atmosphere and feeling that it was not going well, Ovando responded willingly that he should say what he had to say.

"There may be books and accounting systems around Her Royal Highness's home that are sufficient to make a huge profit.However, the operation of the state is completely different from the bookkeeping of a merchant.The gold coins in the Treasury do not just have to be invested in the right business, but they exist to save and protect all people. "

All human beings are equal under God, and all people should be saved.Obando was stupid about his own religious values.

"I see. It was good of you to come up with a plan to open the treasury to prevent starvation about last winter's malpractice.I wonder if the clergyman is the head of the treasury to open the treasury without being caught up in the idea of profit or loss. "

The last question ended with a parallel line.She smiled bitterly and turned to Ovand.

"Nothing, I didn't call you to follow up on the previous question."

The Queen, a woman who is the bride of the leftovers, but suddenly enters even the centre of state power by marriage.

For old ministers like Ovando, the impression of Catalina, the queen of the former King's era, first comes to mind, rather than the appearance of Marguerite.

Some who are still alive as Empress Wang Tai have long supported the national government in the shadows with their soft eyes and beliefs, even though they are women.

It was fortunate that current King Harold had not so far attempted to give Queen Marguerite the same real rights as her mother.

Ovand appreciated the "young" King's Majesty only because his mother was not foolish enough to expect the same from her own queen.

But it seems that the Queen has taken over and things have changed again.Your Majesty's favorite place, Queen Berta, is still young, just like a little girl.

"However, I can't help but feel a sense of crisis when I think about the financial difficulties of this transition.Neither the Treasury nor the Financial Advisory Council is going to make it.In order not to repeat the same thing next time, we need to do it now. "

Ovand couldn't say anything.

He was also at fault.

If the Treasurer's position were to be pursued because of deficiencies in the management of financial resources related to the transition to the capital, it would have been reasonable treatment in the first place.

"Your Highness, did Her Highness ask me to complete my duties as treasurer for this period?Or do you want me to quit my job early? "

Ovand himself has suffered for many years from the contradiction between his position as Treasurer and his sincere attitude as a clergyman.

Disturbingly, he knows that no matter how much the pursuit of profits or the withholding of interest runs counter to religious teachings, and no matter how "dirty" the scholarship of accounting for profit is, the actual inflow of funds will stop running the state.

I have a conflict that cannot be completely dishonest in my area, and I still have a slight presence in my chest.

Even if Ovando were to leave the court and eventually lose his job, he was unlikely to be able to resist it any further.

"- Ovand, you're the best."

King Harold, who had remained silent until then, gave a soft voice that was pleasant to hear to both of them.

"But you know what the queen is saying.Certainly, from a methodological point of view, it is difficult to book the state.But we're going to do it now. "

It was an ambitious idea to reorganize the state's financial accounting, clearly articulated from the sovereign's mouth.

"The Queen will gather people from the south who can do this.As Treasurer, I expect you to remain a good leader for those with outstanding expertise. "

He nodded in silence to Owando, who looked up at His Majesty in a daze.

"Nothing for you, it's fine as it is."

Whatever your Majesty was trying to say, Obando quickly realized his intentions.

"Traditionally, a clergyman has only been the head of finance.To make it widely known to other court officials and folk grass that the state is not drowning in gold accounts and is not devouring profits.I certainly want to change the finances and accounting of the state, but it is too frictional to proceed as a manifest plan. "

In other words, His Majesty intends to push for radical change underwater, leaving Ovand in the treasurer's seat as usual.

The tone was calm, which was virtually equivalent to an out-of-force alert.

In the future, I will not allow you to interfere with the reform of the expert group that will become Ovando's "subordinate", but as long as you remain in a nominal position without speaking out, you will continue to guarantee your current position.

"A big story begins with a pile of small things.I wonder if that pile is nothing more than plain daily book keeping and thorough record-keeping. "

I don't know if the idea will work or not.But Obando looked up to the monarch who would take a step without weighing himself on such an ambitious plan.

"* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *I hope you get a convincing answer as a profession. "

And while listening to His Majesty, Ovand clearly understood who the setter was.There was only one person here who could persuade the King himself in advance and have him speak for himself, without thinking about it.

"Ovand, I need your help."

A queen who does not hesitate to plunge the country into a new order of numbers.

Such monarchs and queens do not come out of hereditary dynasties first.Normally, the highest-ranking royal aristocracy grows up with a more noble education that is independent of modern profitable scholarship such as accounting.

But Obando himself, the field was different, but he was a human with the skin of a scholar.There can never be a blatant denial of the ideal or concept of managing numbers in a fair and orderly manner.Not to mention the direct orders of His Majesty.

"Yes, I am honored to hear from His Majesty.We will continue to do our best in the near future. "

It was decided that Ovando had to be here now, while savouring the feeling of being somewhere rounded up.

However, he was delighted by the unique opportunity to recruit talented people from the south and was obliged to accept the expansion.



"I'm glad it's going to work."

Berta smiled in a good mood while relaxing in front of the maids.

However, the faces of the maids in the room other than Berta were quite invisible.

Because they are totally unconvinced by the person Berta presented as the official candidate for the Financial Advisory Council.

"But, Princess...."

"... do you really want to call Lady Leandro to King's Landing?"

They had this reaction from the moment Berta named her half-brother.Even now that the story has been completely settled, it seems that I have always said that I am half-hearted.

Half believers, huh? Either way, it would be better to say that there is no welcome atmosphere at all.

"Often Kasha's husband forgave you."

I don't think you're crazy.

Well, Belta herself was expecting some kind of rebellion from her family, because she was her half-brother.

The strength of the rebellion was greater than expected, but that doesn't turn the story upside down.

So-so

Berta was on the side of completely forgiving the maids in this matter.

"It's settled, it's settled.Besides, I haven't seen Leandro since I was a teenager, so it's been almost ten years since I realized.It may have changed a lot and calmed down after a while. "

The more Berta shelters him, the less the maids will react.

"Nothing has changed!"

"I can easily imagine what's going on in that childhood."

Berta was rather impressed by her half-brother, who was so loathed by the maids.

But Belta wasn't too worried about this.The person will have a hard time doing it for a while, but I'm sure I can handle it myself.

That is the story of the next key to Kasha, coming from the south to King's Landing.

As the first court minister from Kasha to the center, he is from the south.

And as an associate of the northern aristocracy with the Earl of Chimeno.

"Anyway, Leandro is coming to King's Landing soon."
