754 – It’s Not a Faction – 5

Thanks to Mar’s gentle and warm advice, I was able to face the truth.

But my going out didn’t stop. The day after I heard Mar’s advice, I still left the mansion, and the day after that, and the day after that.

I already made an appointment to meet with the new members of each department. Because I’ve already visited quite a few departments. I make an appointment first, and then unilaterally cancel the appointment after visiting several departments? To inflict some kind of criticism on ministers or working-level officials who were suddenly caught in an affair.

Of course, if you get criticized and your reputation drops, and your reputation declines and you end up retiring, it’s worth considering — but if you’re an emperor, ‘Pay off your karma by working hard.’ They would say so. It’s obvious even without looking.

‘Damn b*stard.’

When I thought of the emperor, I felt uncontrollable anger.

Even though that b*stard knew that I was in a bad state, instead of trying to fix it, he just applauded me for liking it. It wasn’t our b*stard, it was your b*stard.

If one of your close associates has a mental problem, isn’t it possible to comfort them, extend their vacation even if it’s just empty words, and tell them you’ll retire when the time comes? I don’t want to retire right away, so is it really such a problem to have even a single hope of being able to retire in the future?

‘It’s not a problem.’

After her head cooled down, she gained an objective perspective.

In fact, it is not normal to dream of retirement at age 26. In a way, he said to the emperor, ‘I am preparing to retire, so you, who are older than me, should also prepare to abdicate.’ Because it’s at the level of saying.

Still, once the anger rose, there was no thought of it going down again. Anyway, the fact that the emperor is an asshole remains the same.

‘If I am born again, I will definitely meet a boss like you.’

As a bonus, he was born with the same fortune as me. Then life will be very interesting.

Today I decided to meet with the newbies of the Magic Castle.

“Welcome, Minister. This is my first time seeing you since Baron Hardiner’s wedding. How have you been?”

And when I approached the Magic Castle building, the Minister of Magic Castle was waiting at the front gate.

It was such a splendid treat that I couldn’t have imagined, so I flinched for a moment. Although he is lower in rank than the Ministry of Justice, he is the same minister and has been a bureaucrat longer than me. There is no need to show excessive courtesy like this.

“Of course. I am enjoying my newlywed life and resting comfortably, so what can’t I do? On the contrary, the Minister is busy working for the development of the empire and the magic world, so I should ask about the Minister’s well -being.”

“Haha, this is truly embarrassing and undeserved.”

Even the word ‘excess’ came out and I smiled awkwardly.

‘Trixie’s halo is brilliant…’

The reason why Minister Ma Do-seong has a low attitude beyond politeness is simple. It was for the simple but clear reason that I was Trixie’s husband.

Trixie is the pinnacle and elder of the continent’s magic world. Although the Ministry of Magic is an administrative department, as it is related to magic, the majority of the Ministry of Magic’s employees are those who have learned magic. Needless to say, the leader, Minister Ma Do-seong.

Thanks to this, Minister Ma Do-seong treats me not as a fellow minister, but as a respected family member of the top industry leader. It is both proud and embarrassing, burdensome yet happy.

‘Will our children feel this way too?’

Suddenly a thought occurred to me. In about 10 or 20 years, when my children enter society, won’t they also have my back if I am still in my current position?

Thanks to this dad, I live a life where I am treated well wherever I go and feel proud of that fact.

‘Good.’

It was a short imagination, but it made me feel happy. There is nothing more rewarding than helping children along the path I have walked.

“Now, please come inside.” All the officials, including me, waited with excitement for this day when we heard that the Minister was coming.”

“I’m just grateful that you care so much about the guy who suddenly made an unreasonable request.”

“It’s impossible to say. On the contrary, we are grateful. The newcomers who have just entered the Magic Castle tend to have a strong identity as wizards, so it would be an honor if the Minister personally gives encouragement and advice.”

The words were full of sincerity, so I lowered my eyes.

My conscience tingled. Minister Ma Do-seong welcomed my visit like this, but I actually begged him to hold a meeting to discuss his retirement. I can’t bear to raise my head.

“Although Trixie belongs to the Magic Tower, she also has a special interest in the Magic Castle. Isn’t the Magic Castle, along with the Magic Tower, the two pillars that support the magic world of the empire? That’s why Trixie also asked me to say good things about the future of the Magic Castle.”＜ Br＞

That’s why, for the sake of my conscience, I tried to say something pleasant to listen to.

Fortunately, it’s not 100% a lie. It is true that Trixie is interested in the Ministry of Magic among the administrative departments. I just don’t know if the interest is business interest or personal interest.

“Is that so?”

Still, what is it? If the listener likes it, wouldn’t that be enough?

“It is an honor for His Excellency Majong-gong himself to show interest in me. It is an honor as a junior to follow in the path he walked.”

In fact, Minister Mado Seong must have been touched by my interest and consideration for Trixie, and he closed his mouth in a strangely moist voice. As if I wanted to quietly feel the emotion of the presence.

We arrived at the conference room guided by Minister Ma Do-seong.

“Uh, Minister?”

“Yes, you say so.”

“Why is the Minister sitting in his seat his…?”

“It’s a shame that I’m just an old guy, so I can’t properly understand the feelings of young people these days. But since the Minister said that he personally comforts the hearts of newcomers, shouldn’t I listen closely to his valuable teachings?”

The meeting for new recruits suddenly turned into a meeting chaired by two ministers.

They say it’s a teaching or something, but it seems that the white lie that Trixie asked for good words irritated the Minister of Magic. It looks like he wants to hear good things from you.

‘What should I do with this?’

Even though the conference room was already full of new recruits, the sound of footsteps came closer from across the hallway.

‘Isn’t it just the minister who is breaking in?’

A situation in which managers and managers may also participate.

When you return to the mansion, let’s ask Trixie to send a good word to the Minister of Magic.

***

It was truly a pleasant experience for the Minister of Inspector General, who did not even go to work in his own department, to visit all administrative departments. Worst of all, there will be a rumor going around among the officials that they are under inspection under my orders.

However, the minister’s pleasant antics were a voluntary choice, not an order from me. That’s why it’s more fun. A subject who gives me joy even without my reach.

‘I didn’t know you would do this.’

Then, when it was reported that the minister who visited Madoseong held a meeting with Minister Madoseong as well as department heads and department managers, I began to seriously think about the limits of the minister.

Isn’t this like giving a lecture to all the ministers? It would be appropriate if the topic was roughly something like ‘how humans become artistic’. Or, ‘how to live with futile hope’ is also fine.

…

‘Why is it a magic castle?’

After a short sneer, he gently frowned.

She is a minister whose influence over magicians has already increased after marrying King Ma Jong. In such a situation, he had to meet with the leadership of Madou Castle. Even if this was not the minister’s intention, there is a high probability that it will lead to the formation of a faction.

In some cases, just by meeting each other, factions are formed implicitly. If Duke Ma Jong’s consort and the leaders of the City of Demons had a meeting, anyone could see that it was a meeting that took place with the approval of Ma Jong Duke. Now, the minister can exert great influence on the city of magic.

“Minister. He’s been busy walking around these days.”

So, I contacted the minister through the telecommunication district. I’m so busy moving around that I feel sorry for singing Taeyangjeon.

– Yes, Your Majesty. Seeing the energetic new recruits, I feel like my confidence and motivation, which had faded, has been rekindled, so I’m walking around with a bit of force.

Those words made me laugh. Which subject in this world would confidently say that their motivation has faded in front of the emperor?

“Since when did Minister Ma Do-seong become a newbie without even knowing?”

– Ah.

Anyway, when I told him my business with a smiling face, the minister let out a soft sigh.

“Did Minister Ma Do-seong also have a dog? Or a cat?”

– …I heard that you keep a few snakes.

“Well, it must be difficult to be Titi’s partner.”

The minister’s eyebrows, seen through the communication port, began to tremble.

– Your Majesty.

“Speak.”

– I know very well that Your Majesty is concerned. Therefore, I have no intention of forming a faction first, and after visiting the Cultural Castle and the Maritime Castle, I plan to stay at the mansion again.

“Hmm?”

I was momentarily surprised by the minister’s declaration. When I see him speak so bluntly and say he will stop external activities—

‘It’s back to normal.’

The minister, who had lost his temper, eventually came to his senses. When I look at it now, I can see that there is a bitterness in my eyes instead of madness.

It’s a shame. It was fun to watch the crazy minister run around. Today was the last day of that fun.

“I can trust the minister when he says that. Yes, you have worked hard to console the officials directly. Handle the remaining schedule safely and rest well.”

– Yes, Your Majesty.

I ended up contacting as I saw the minister bowing his head.

‘It was a lot of hardship.’

The minister made a visit to the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries the last part of his schedule. There wasn’t a particular reason, they were just the two departments left.

Even I, the emperor, don’t visit all departments in a short period of time, but it’s really cool to see a guy on vacation doing that.

‘I shouldn’t go crazy like that.’

It seems like a healthy mind is more important than a strong body.

***

I quietly placed the communication tool that had lost its light in my bosom.

Damn you b*stard. As soon as he figured out that I was the opposite s*x, he stopped teasing me. It means that I deliberately neglected it even though I knew it was bad.

“Sons.”

– Bruise?

As I was going home after the meeting, Titi, who happened to be on her way home from work, tilted her head.

“I’m talking about someone else, not you.”

He patted Titi’s head and smiled bitterly.

Now that I think about it, Titi and that cub also have yellow fur… Why does he look like that, unlike our Titi?

It is truly a strange thing.
