750 – It’s Not a Faction – 1
Many things have happened since the emperor’s cheerful ridicule.
No, actually nothing happened. Since that day, I haven’t really gone out of the mansion, and Titi’s dating business has been going smoothly without any problems. There was no need for me to step forward.
“It’s going well, right?”
– Wow!
Titi came to meet Jenny today again, decorated with all kinds of ribbons and bells. When I gently stroked her head, she barked brightly with her bright eyes.
Yeah, I guess it’s going well. If Jenny had pushed Titi away strongly, Titi would have shown her gloomy side, but Titi is only showing a brighter side as the days go by.
Moreover, the children who went to Luciano’s mansion with Titi said, ‘Let’s play a lot with Titi and Jenny!’ This is consistent testimony. In this way, the relationship between the two becomes acquaintances, acquaintances become lovers, and acquaintances become lovers. It’s a desirable pattern.
“I heard that Jenny has never met another dog. Our Titi is Jenny’s first dog friend, so if she keeps playing, she will develop a good relationship.”
– Woof!
Titi waggled her tail wildly at my encouragement and advice.
Just as for Titi Jenny is her first dog friend her her, and for our children Helen is her her first outsider friend her —for Jenny, Titi is her her first dog friend her her her . This is a step that can be said to be fate, not just a coincidence.
So I believe. Even though Jenny is shy and a bit awkward towards Titi right now, I know that someday they will become a good couple.
‘Please.’
Please do that for my own sake. The news that Titi’s spring day has arrived has also spread to our main family and her in-laws. People who already coveted her intelligence began to target her babies.
Requests are already coming in from all over to send just one baby once the baby is born. Not only my parents who live in Tyglehen, but also my father-in-law and mothers-in-law who saw Titi every time they came to our mansion. Even Erich on his honeymoon his.
Of course, if a lot of babies are born, it is better to sell them to people who can raise them well. If you don’t want to overdo it and keep multiple large dogs, it is easier for both of you to spread them out.
However, considering the requests received so far, it was concluded that Jenny should give birth to more than 10 babies.
‘Maybe she should have more than 20.’
The result of more than 10 animals only takes into account the requests I received. Considering that Luciano can be distributed here and there or raised directly, a dizzying situation can easily arise with more than 20 animals.
There are 20 cubs… And not from multiple females, but from 20 cubs alone…
‘Is it possible?’
Even if a dog gives birth to multiple pups at once, is it possible to have an astonishing number of 20 pups?
Even though I tried to think positively, I couldn’t come to a positive conclusion. This is difficult unless Titi has been married several times like me.
– Bruise?
As I looked at Titi with complicated feelings, Titi tilted its head and barked briefly.
I don’t know whether to call this sad or fortunate, but I don’t think Titi will commit bigamy like me.
Our Titi. If you look at the way he shows up these days, he doesn’t have that kind of single-mindedness.
“Cheer up.”
– Woof!
So I just gave a courtesy cheer.
Cheer up, Titi. Cheer up, Jenny.

While having a meal with the Minister of Home Affairs, an unusual topic suddenly popped up.
“So, did you hear that?”
“What are you talking about?”
The minister turned to the minister and said, ‘Did you hear that?’ That means, ‘You must know this.’ It’s the same thing as saying. Thanks to this, even the hand that was moving the fork stopped and looked at the Minister of Home Affairs,
“It is said that the Minister of Inspector General is in the process of creating influence by contacting new officials.”
“Minister of Inspection?”
My brows furrowed when I heard that this guy, not just any other guy, was forming a faction.
Because the minister with inspection authority is forming a faction? By contacting new bureaucrats rather than existing nobles or bureaucrats? Even though the huge task of creating a faction is in progress, there is no word from me?
‘He’s not that kind of guy?’
It wasn’t any of the three. I was simply confused because I heard something I couldn’t understand.
I’ve been seeing that guy for years. If he runs away from the faction he was in, he will run away. He is not the type of guy who will create a new faction on his own.
At a time when His Majesty the Emperor had just been appointed Crown Prince, his membership in the Crown Prince’s faction was not voluntary. In the process of killing the former head of the inspection department, he borrowed the authority of His Highness the Crown Prince, and somehow he ended up being called His Highness’s henchman.
Currently reigning as the head of the Northern faction was no different. He didn’t become a faction leader because he was ambitious, but because there was implicit pressure from His Majesty. Subtle pressure to obediently lead the northern faction.
‘The factions are a mess.’
That’s why my furrowed eyebrows straightened out, and I snorted without realizing it.
What is the probability that he will voluntarily form a faction? No matter how high you set it, it is lower than the probability that he will give up his job. It is such an absurd rumor.
“Hehe, as expected, even the Minister of Finance doesn’t believe it.”
“Do any of the ministers believe that? We’ve seen that guy for a while.”
“That’s right. I just told you that it was an interesting rumor, not that you should believe it.”
“It was definitely fun.”
When he nodded his head toward the Minister of Home Affairs, who burst into laughter, the Minister of Home Affairs, who had been laughing for a long time, slightly tilted his upper body forward.
“But the Minister of Prisons seemed to believe it.”
“The Minister of Justice?”
I frowned again because it was difficult to understand.
It’s not like the Minister of Finance is a newcomer who just took the position, nor is he ignorant about that guy. Rather, due to the nature of the Department of Inspection and Ministry of Inspection, which wields inspection authority, it is inevitable that they will often become entangled with swords. Those caught in inspection are flowing to the Ministry of Justice via the Ministry of Justice.
But does the Minister of Prisons believe the strange rumor that Karl is forming a faction? Isn’t he such a naïve person?
“At first, I thought the Minister of Justice had gone senile, but it got a little complicated.”
“If it’s complicated.”
“The Minister of Inspector General maintains a close relationship with the head of the Ministry of Justice.”
“Like that.”
As soon as I heard those words, I sighed.
Of course, I would have been concerned if a bureaucrat in my department, especially a manager-level executive rather than a manager-level manager, was in contact with the knife guy. If you’re at least in contact with a manager-level person, you might think it’s for work purposes, but the manager has nothing to do with it. So, it is natural for the Minister of Justice to be agitated by talk of the formation of a new faction.
‘Is there really something?’
I felt uncomfortable for no reason. The probability of him forming a clique is extremely slim, but the probability of him voluntarily building a network is also very low. You might not know it if he’s just going around making faces, but he’s not the type of guy who is friendly to others to the extent that the term ‘close relationship’ is used.
But that low probability exploded. It is never something to just ignore.
“Minister of Home Affairs.”
“Yes, you say it.”
“Can you tell who the manager is?”
I think we need to look into this a little bit.
“Please let me know when the results come out. I’m a bit scared of investigating the Minister of Inspector General.”
“I am also reluctant to inspect.”
“Hehe, isn’t the Minister of Inspection scared of the Minister of Finance?”
I burst out laughing without realizing it.
If that’s what you’re afraid of, that’s the problem. If you don’t feel scared, how far can you go?
The more I looked into it, the more confused I became.
The official who had ties with the knife guy was Luciano Nieden, head of the 2nd Department of the Department of Corrections. A young bureaucrat who has just entered his 30s, and a commoner who was an ordinary prison guard just five years ago.
And, considering the time he spent as a jailer, the official was also a jailer when Carl and I were detained.
‘It’s a strange fate.’
After 5 years of being a prisoner and a guard, we met as a faction leader and a faction member. Where else in the world could something like this happen?
Although it is not yet an official faction, the relationship is close enough to raise suspicions of faction. The guy on vacation visited his manager’s mansion and brought his children to visit again. It’s definitely not an ordinary relationship.
‘What on earth is going on?’
A bureaucrat named Luciano Nieden was repeatedly promoted after receiving a letter of recommendation from Karl? I can understand. Isn’t that guy the guy who gathered all the graduates from the academy? It’s not unusual for him to pick people up from prison.
However, no matter how many times I think about it, I cannot understand maintaining a close relationship beyond recommendations. What happened in prison, what happened for 5 years to maintain such a relationship? How many times did the jailer take you out while you were in prison?
‘…I have to check for myself.’
After touching his chin for a moment, he picked up the communication tool.
If you don’t understand, just ask the person in question. If the rumor spreads anyway, it means that he has no intention of hiding it, so if you ask him, he will give you an obedient answer.

– Haha!
I looked bitterly at the minister’s bursting face.
Damn humans. Even if I think about it, it’s not an ordinary reason, but is it something to laugh at that much?
– A relationship that continued thanks to TT! If my brother, Minister Museong, finds out, I will catch her!
“If possible, please tell us that we met in difficult times.”
I met Luciano when I was in prison and Luciano was contemplating his resignation. We are comforted who met each other when we were in pain and comforted each other where we were in pain.
So, the connection between T.T. And I feel a bit exaggerated. Even before TT came forward, we had a relationship that led to prison through a letter of recommendation.
– So, have you met even once since you were released from prison?
“…That’s not true.”
– Then, our relationship is connected thanks to TT.
I couldn’t bear to refute those words, so I quietly bit my lip.
I feel resentful. I’m so angry that I’m being pushed by logic by that muscle monster, who isn’t anyone else…!
– Anyway, I understand. We met not to form a faction, but to find a mate for our pet dog.
“Why am I creating something like a faction? It’s not like I got hit in the head with an arrow.”
– Put yourself in the shoes of the Minister of Justice. A guy who usually stays quiet is suddenly in contact with an emerging bureaucrat, and it’s even weirder if the word faction doesn’t come to mind.
I couldn’t refute this time either. Even if it were me, I would have been concerned if I had heard that a minister from another department had private contact with a manager from the Ministry of Inspection.
– But now that things have come to this, how about creating a real faction?
“What kind of bullshit is this?”
At that moment, I seriously started crying. Why do I make something like that?
– If you lead new bureaucrats, wouldn’t you be able to replace existing bureaucrats?
“So.”
– Then someone will take your seat, right?
Those words suddenly put my mind at ease.
