The Evil Queen’s Beautiful Principles

And then Gilbert came into the room in exchange for Brian.

Now it's that way.... what kind of report?

It's about crop yields.

In a previous meeting with senior officials, I mentioned that the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been on the loose for more than a decade.

"I thought you instructed me to put in place a system to audit reports from each territory?

The Five Marquises follow the royal family from the standpoint, but in reality they are enemies.

Over the years, I shredded the power of the royal family, shaking like a king in each territory... and finally got to the former king.

It's impossible... to tell if we can swallow the numbers that come out of their territory. I'll finish the sentence.

"Yeah, that's right. That's what I was able to do...."

As soon as I saw the material presented, I threw it on the desk.

"Impossible."

I'm sure you are.

"... the audit system and its methods are good. But what is this? The last sentence." However, only if deemed necessary and approved by the Director-General of the Ministry of Finance "? Isn't this a good thing about empty bills?"

What if the treasurer is from the five marquises? What if that's what the Five Marquises want?

... you wouldn't approve of an audit.

And then it's exactly the same as before. The Royal Palace had to swallow the numbers of the territory, and in the end the territory was all-you-can-do.

"I'm sure you're aiming for it. Because I put this sentence into it."

"The rest is unacceptable. Gilbert, this sentence is permanently deleted. The Treasury should not have the authority to do so, even if it were to be approved. It's for the auditors to decide."

"You're right.... as Luceria said, I will instruct you to delete this sentence."

"I don't know if that's a problem... but they're gonna try to pull a concession out of hand."

Words are vague. One word, where to put the sentence, changes the interpretation.

For example, 'I saw him submit documents many times' and 'I saw him submit documents many times', the nuances seem slightly different. The former sees "he who submits documents" many times, and the latter does not know whether he sees "he who submits documents many times" only once or how many times he sees it again.

In the same way, they are more likely to play with the text so that they can interpret it in their own good way.

… so that their Marquises may be advantageous.

"Their old opponent will break bones... well, let's do something about it."

"I begged you.... but it's troublesome. If we don't get rid of the five Marquises as soon as possible, we can't help but keep an eye on them."

All I can trust is Gilbert and Tommy right in front of me. And Gilbert's men, including Brian.

But Gilbert's men still have no standing or experience to cross the breath of the Five Marquises.

That's why only I or Gilbert can hold them. It keeps me awake all the time.

"... the opposition should have been welcome."

"Oh, I see. Just being obedient doesn't make it right when the rest is wrong. The opposition should therefore be welcomed as it should be. But this is different. They don't want their country, they want their own successive marquises to flourish. So it's not really acceptable."

Yeah, that's right.

"... it's a broken bone job, thank you."

"I was afraid. I'll take care of it."

After Gilbert left, I sat deeply in the chair.

... well, finally, I'm really free.

Once he exhaled deeply in that position, he sat back in his chair and started his work again.
