Swoosh, snooze.

The sound of playing with the token on the black and white lattice is heard in the room.

"Excuse me."

It was Gilbert and Tommy the Maid who came into the room.

The maid appeared on the board a long time ago... and as she smiled, she lowered the maid who was in the room.

"I apologize for being late at night. I have some reports."

"I don't mind."

I get up from the chair I was sitting on and back down again to the back executive chair.

Then he signed some documents while receiving an explanation from him without any starvation.

The explanations are wide ranging, ranging from organizing authority by ministry and position to reporting on the administration of the former Marquis of Radford…… to the volume of information, which is likely to be overwhelming.

"... is this everything?

Exhale the stuffed breath and ask.

"Yes, thank you for your time."

"I told you, I don't mind. The rest of your duties should take precedence over anything else."

While saying so, I smiled bitterly.

"Thank you for saying that."

"He and the bureaucrats underneath him are doing well.... the simplification of operations throughout the palace and the establishment of the Marquis of Radford has been proceeding without problems in the past six months because of their efforts. Thanks to you, I'm about to see the plan come to fruition."

"... I think it's only natural to say 'no problem'."

He raised his glasses in a quick fashion with the hands of those who did not have the documents. The eyes behind those glasses feel sparkly.

Huh?

It got interesting, and I hammered to ask the truth.

"That's all I've got planned, packed.... let me tell you," unforeseen events "often happen, which means that the plan was so sweet. At the planning stage, just identify the risk and be prepared to prepare for it. Because you think it's important... didn't you just get us all ready?

Gilbert asked, laughing small.

"... I see. Exactly."

... the battle is won or lost before it begins. I forgot whose words, but so did politics.

That is why I have carefully prepared for the sequence of events from the demolition of the Marquis of Radford to the seizure of power.

Planning alone took about a year... No, did you spend more time converting it from where you collect the information?

After investigating how much it costs, how many people need to be put in, what risks there are, and so on, I've made plans.

After the opening of that revenge play... after impeaching the Marquis of Radford, I couldn't even say, "I'm not ready for anything," or, "I can't handle it with the Royal Family."

"Isn't everything you see...?"

In a world without television or the Internet, the people who are in charge of politics are completely unaware of what they are doing... It takes a lot of effort to decide one policy… but the process doesn't see the light of day, and in the end, the public only sees the result. It goes without saying that it is natural to be responsible for the results... it will be difficult for the efforts of the process not to be recognized.

... no, the same as in the previous life. Whether it's television or the Internet, if people aren't interested, that's it. In fact, I didn't see the process at all.

Gilbert nodded loudly at my murmuring.

"That's strange to say. Only a fraction of them are announced to the public. They will not know the path of the Ibaraki we have followed."

"Well, I guess we'll have to change that eventually. The rest believe in them… but there is a danger that one day the secret veil will be used only as a venue for government to gain power."

"That may be true, but... now it's still ahead of us."

"... that's right, too. Otherwise, you won't be able to trick me."

The smile overflowed.

"Well, it's time to move. Eliminate the disturbing marquises. Naturally, in the process....."

"Yeah, yeah. I thought it was time to say so. Regardless of how to eliminate it, we are planning to concentrate on national politics underwater. The information is organized together when we were preparing to impeach the Marquis of Radford... and we'll just have to fill in the details later."

"Well, well. That's dependable.... fufufufu... haha"

Gilbert had a suspicious look on his face when he suddenly laughed at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Finally... when I think I can get rid of him who's disturbing me..."

I managed to suppress the smile and spin the words.

"... when I found out that I was humiliated, what kind of expression would he put on them? Regret, despair? Anger or hatred? Fufufufu... hahaha! I wonder what they look like, and the rest would be satisfied."

Just imagining capturing them in cold chains fills me with a feeling of happiness that is going to numb.

Unlike me in a happy future picture, Gilbert somehow gradually turned pale.

"Oh, oh... - I'm sorry. I can't take away the time of the busy ones with the rest of the bullshit."

"No... that's not true. But if you'll excuse me."
