652 – Thirty Is Too Young – 1
In summer, the sun rises earlier than other seasons. Thanks to this, sunlight leaked through the curtains earlier than usual.
However, adequate sunlight is a gift from nature that helps you wake up in a good mood. When the warm sunlight tickles my cheeks, I open my eyes without realizing it.
‘I haven’t slept very long.’
After doing some light stretching by moving my arms around, I got off the bed and approached the window.
The sunlight coming through the curtains does not cover the entire room. First, I have to open the curtains and face the day.
“Ugh… “
As I pulled back the curtains, warm and bright sunlight flooded the room, and Fine, who was in bed, muttered softly.
If I haven’t slept much, the same goes for Fine. Fortunately, Fine has the healthiest and strongest body among my wives. There is no harm in sleeping a little less.
It would be a different story if it were for 15 consecutive days instead of a day or two.
“Are you awake?”
“Now, Minister—!”
Anyway, Fine, who was blinking, saw me wake up first and quickly got up.
“What?”
“…Honey…”
He slowly lowered his head and muttered as if he was embarrassed by my short comment.
I am satisfied. I finally succeeded in hearing a normal and soft title instead of “Minister.”
‘It was a difficult journey.’
For no reason, I felt like my eyes were getting hot and the tip of my nose was twitching. The wedding was an opportunity to successfully change Fine’s worldview from a me-centered worldview to a we-centered worldview, but the problem of stiff and unaffectionate titles remained the same.
At least we succeeded in changing the destructive title of ‘Master’ to ‘Minister’ in the County of Yudher, but honestly, it was not enough.
“Pine. It’s all good, but shouldn’t we change the title to Minister? We’re a couple now.”
“S-sorry. I stopped without realizing it…”
Of course, the title “Minister” Is not something that is embarrassing to say to others. Even Eri, who is probably oversleeping by now, still calls me Minister.
Moreover, Fine changed the dizzying title of ‘Master’ to ‘Minister’ at my request. In a situation where we have barely become accustomed to the Minister, the second adjustment is too harsh.
So, we gave Fine the opportunity to make voluntary adjustments without putting any pressure or burden on him.
“Then there’s nothing we can do. Let’s try our best until Fine gets used to being called by a different name.”
“Yes… I will try.”
“Yes. Just the two of us can work hard for about 10 days.”
“…Yes?”
With those words, the two of us had a hot and intimate time.
Until the word Minister disappeared from Fine’s head. Until a fresh and warm name spontaneously came out of Fine’s mouth.
“Minister. Let’s take a little break… ”
“Gwae, are you okay? I understand, okay…”
At first, Fine was also relaxed. With her physical strength, she was able to match my pace with Fineggi, who was the best among her ladies, and even though she was embarrassed and shy, she did not feel overwhelmed.
It was like that for only about three days. Unfortunately, she couldn’t last beyond four days.
“Now, Minister…! Now, stop…!”
“I don’t know because I’m not the minister.”
Because my stamina was better than Fine’s stamina.
If I were weaker than Fine, Fine would have been fine, but if the weak match the pace of the strong for three days, it’s natural for problems to arise.
No, it actually lasted well for three days. There was a certain white head who couldn’t last even three days and gave in.
“Now, you are the Minister… If you do it like this, it will be too much for you too…”
“I’m fine.”
“Well, if you happen to get hurt because of me… ”
“The Minister doesn’t know that.”
Fine’s reaction was so blatant that he rolled his eyes here and there, not knowing what to do.
As soon as Fine suggested taking a break, he would just spit out bizarre things like, “I’m not the minister, I don’t know,” And “The minister doesn’t know such things.” If I do this, even if Fine notices me on the way, he has no choice but to know my true intentions.
A warm message telling me to use my normal title instead of “Minister” Right away.
‘It was a cowardly thing to do.’
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t embarrassed. When Fine was asked to work hard until he got used to being called by another name, he put himself in a situation where if he didn’t work hard right away, something big would happen. If you look at it objectively, it is an ugly behavior.
But what can you do? It’s better to be ugly and cowardly than to be called minister by your wife. Eri also calls me Minister, but Eri’s Minister is more of a playful title than a sincere one.
“Ah, if you call me manager from now on…!”
“It’s no different from the minister.”
“The Count…”
“Not very good.”
“Matriarch…!”
“…”
However, despite bracing for ugliness, Fine’s journey was long and long. So much so that I seriously considered whether or not I should postpone the title adjustment issue until later.
“Hey, honey…”
Still, I was able to smile because I was blessed after all the hard work. After ten days, I was able to acquire the normal title of Yeobo.
“Thank you, Finn. This is how it should be if you’re a married couple.”
“Well, then… ”
“From now on, I will work hard as a lady, not as a minister.”
It wasn’t that important that I stayed with Fine for about five days to commemorate the happy occasion.
“Ugh… “
“Are you okay?”
While she was smiling happily, Fine let out a soft drooling sound as she stepped onto her floor.
“It’s okay. I was a little shocked…”
I was slightly impressed by Fine’s faint smile
As expected, Fine’s robustness is surprising. Except for Mar, who inherited the bloodline of Sangvis, and Trixie who used the magic cheat, she shows the best recovery and endurance.
“Then again today—”
“Well, it’s already morning. Would you like to eat first?”
I burst into laughter at the desperate change of topic.
I also have no intention of taking it longer than 15 days.
***
Sponsorship of the Imperial Houses of Parliament. Although there are very few people visiting it, it is a place that is thoroughly managed as it is part of the Imperial House of Assembly, which is in charge of the Empire’s legislation.
Thanks to this, this patronage is not inferior to that of any castle or mansion, and it is a place I visit to get some fresh air when my head is in overdrive.
It’s a pity that since I became Chairman of the Imperial Council, I come here almost every day.
‘There’s no one here today.’
I looked around the empty back garden and sat down on the bench.
It was a sponsorship that did not pay any attention to, but the two youngest often showed up for donations. Perhaps because I was still young, I was able to move around easily.
However, today neither of them showed up. For the first time in a long time, I was able to spend time alone.
‘The youngest…’
That’s fortunate. The reason my head was so complicated was because of the youngest two. It would have been bitter if I had met the two in Huwon, where I came to gather my thoughts.
‘What should I do with this?’
I leaned against the back of the bench, then tilted my head back and looked at the sky.
Although those two are the cause of my worries, they haven’t made any particular mistakes or mistakes. Rather, I am working hard as the youngest, and I am taking care of as much work as possible in advance for my honeymoon leave, which I plan to apply for early next year.
Yes, in order to simultaneously apply for vacation early next year. That’s the problem.
‘It would be difficult if both of them were away at the same time.’
The members of the Reichstag consist only of Imperial Whites. Also, there are only thirty Imperial Whites in this vast empire.
It is truly an honor. The pride of sharing good fortune with the imperial family and the pride of being the emperor’s limb and final shield are the pride of our imperial white people. The authority of just 30 people made it impossible for even the Marquis to treat us carelessly.
However, that small number of elites and those with 300 years of tradition sometimes hold them back.
‘If two people are missing, it is effectively 10%.’
Like right now.
Imperial White – In other words, the number of members of the Imperial Council is so small that even one defection would be fatal. So, how great would it be if the two of you applied for a vacation? In absolute terms, it is only two, but in relative terms, it is close to 10%.
However, it is impossible to stop the two from leaving. You are applying for leave because of your marriage and not for any other reason, but it is impossible to allow someone to take leave and refuse it to someone else. Also, regardless of moral issues, we, as an imperial legislative body, cannot ignore the law.
‘Damn.’
I sighed as I roughly washed my face.
If there is any consolation, Count Horfeld and Baron Hardiner are concerned about their absence. So, they are taking care of the work on their own without us having to say anything first. I am thankful and fortunate.
But that’s just a temporary solution. Even if we are lucky enough to get past this incident, what will we do if something similar happens next time?
You don’t have to look far. Count Horfeld is scheduled to take pregnancy and childcare leave, and Baron Hardiner is planning an additional wedding at the end of next year.
‘There is no end.’
In the end, as long as there are 30, you will always have to worry about the lack of personnel. No matter how hard you try, there is no way to solve the inherent problem.
‘I can’t increase my imperial bag.’
For a moment, I wondered whether I should propose to His Majesty the Emperor to expand the Imperial Hundred, but I quickly abandoned that idea.
This is ridiculous. These are our imperial whites with 300 years of history. Even when the imperial power was at stake, these were the Imperial Whites who supported His Majesty and enjoyed both glory and crisis. Now I have no intention or can share that place with others.
‘If there is a new Imperial Baek after 300 years, I will definitely acknowledge it.’
A stuck stone does not welcome a rolled stone. Because this is just common sense.
‘…If you are a member of the National Assembly…’
As I was looking at a hawk flying in the sky, my thoughts reached the other direction.
It is impossible to increase the number of Imperial Whites. It’s not only a problem that it’s unrealistic, but it’s also a method that I don’t like, even though I have to suggest it.
How about increasing the number of generous instead? How about broadening the qualifications for members of the Imperial Assembly, where only the Empire can serve, and further increasing the number of members of the Imperial Assembly? So that the departure of two people does not lead to a 10% gap like now.
Of course, this also goes against 300 years of tradition. The authority and power of credit must be shared with others.
‘I have to endure that much.’
Still, it is better to increase the number of more than to worry about each member’s vacation every time. In fact, it has long been said that the legislative branch is too small compared to the executive branch and the judiciary.
“Good.”
After thinking about it, I got up.
Let’s start by discussing it with other concepts. Expansion of the number of granted is not something that can be proposed carelessly, no matter how much of the country is the chairman.
