Chapter 213 – 213. Duke’s Eleventh Sabotage (1)

– One –

“Father… Can you hug the girl affectionately, even for a moment…?”

Chiba stumbles and approaches Regal.

Regal opened her eyes wide,

Come on!
Swoop.
Woo woo woo.

She rushes over and wraps her arms around Chiba’s waist.

As Regal supports her back with her left arm, she slumps in Regal’s arms.

Iron puck.
Rumble.

Her back was soaked with sweat.

“Boo, madam! What the hell happened?!”

Regal exclaims in fright.

It was because she was constantly sweating so much that it was hardly suitable for an early summer day in early June.

No, even in the middle of summer, considering her movements and means of transportation, it was unnatural for her to sweat so much.

She only moved indoors where the proper temperature was always maintained through her magical tools, and outside, her ladies-in-waiting covered her with a parasol to block the scorching sun.

He even used magic tools that blow cool air to cool her down, so the reason why she sweated was probably not because of the early summer heat.

‘Disease? Poison? Or anxiety? What is it? What makes a wife so hard?’

He wiped the cold sweat that dripped down her forehead and the nape of her neck with her stretched right hand.

She slumped in Regal’s arms, shaking her body so pathetically as to watch.

On the outside, Regal maintained her kindness, but on the inside, she was grinding her teeth, determined to destroy all that troubled her.

“Boss… It’s so painful…”

Chiba lets out a crying voice and buries her face in Regal’s chest.

Regal felt her own fine suit getting completely soaked in her sweat, but she wasn’t thrilled to see her suit ruined so far.

It didn’t matter how much her suit was broken, as long as her hugging her could bring great comfort to her heart.

Right now Regal, she was only immersed in worrying about Chiba.

“What is it? Whose is it? Just tell me. I’ll tear them all apart and burn the remains to soothe your wife.”

Regal’s eyes burn.

Sararak, Seruk.

Chiba’s slender arms wrapped around Regal’s back like a snake.

“Boo, madam?”

“Boss… Haeup!”

Come on!
Churrup.

As Regal closes her eyes, she responds to her sudden kiss.

But Chiba doesn’t close her eyes.

With her eyes half-opened, she teased her tongue as she looked at Regal’s face, which was slowly flushing.

Regal must have known that too.

The fact that he couldn’t stop looking at Regal’s face even at the moment of her kiss was proof of Chiba’s obsession with him, and proof of the love she had for her.

Regal was sure of that, and she was not at all embarrassed to open her eyes and kiss her.

“Ha…”

“Hmm…”

They end up kissing for a long time.

Lips fall.

Shiver.

But long, silvery legs connect them between their lips.

Pop.

Soon, even that will be completely cut off.

However, because their obsession and possessive desire for each other connect them, such desire is constantly connecting them, so they are not frustrated by such trivial disconnections.

“Ma’am, have you calmed down now?”

“That’s right, husband. I’m sorry for being rude…”

Chiba lowers her head as her face blushes.

Swoop, Swoop.

As if nothing was wrong with Regal, she lightly stroked her back.

As if she wasn’t sweating any more, the sweat on her clothes was cooling.

“Then, will you tell me now? What on earth made you suffer so much?”

Chiba’s eyes lit up with anger.

Her eyes shine fiercely

Sigh.

Chiba grits his teeth and frowns.

It seemed that she was burning with murderous intent toward someone.

Because she saw the color of her desire with her own eyes, Regal was sure of that.

“Isn’t today the day of the regular meeting of the Unshim Committee?”

“I remembered it clearly. How could I not know it, since I can’t have a good time with my wife in the office?”

Regal smirks,

Woo woo woo.

He grips Chiba’s butt tightly.

Her small but firm hips trembled.

Her expression melts away.

“Haha… Oh, today, there…”

“At the heart?”

“After long discussions, we have come to the conclusion that thirteen newspapers must be closed.”

“Umm… Thirteen?”

“It is.”

Chiba’s face went cold again.

Her face turns red

“By the way, when I checked to send a notice of cancellation… Whoa, whoa…”

While she was handling the work on her mind, it seemed that her anger had completely exploded around that time.

Because just remembering the incident, she started sweating again on her back.

“Could you calm down and talk to me calmly, ma’am? So I can put away the things that have offended her?”

“Okay, whoa… I’m buying it, my husband…”

Chiba took a deep breath for a while, controlling her mind.

Her expression changes to calm.

The blood that covered her face disappeared.

She smiles softly at Regal.

“It’s done now, sir.”

Regal answered calmly, but she was overwhelmed by Chiba.

To be precise, she was awed by the way she controlled her mind.

In that brief moment, she exploded all her simmering desires within her.

By enforcing her self-indoctrination according to her thoroughly calculated routine, she created extreme pleasure with just the flow of her desires.

She would have felt the satisfaction of an orgasm in an instant.

Dopamine must have been boiling over in her brain, and through it, her unstable psychological state was sorted out in an instant.

“I’m glad…”

Presumably, she looked at her body with her own two eyes and constantly researched how to project her desires so that she could control her mind so elaborately.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed in the feat of regaining peace of mind for a moment only by exploding her desires.

Regal said she didn’t even have the confidence to do something like that herself.

So, he had no choice but to define it as a feat.

“Hehe. Every night, the girl will teach you how to control your mind like this. So, please don’t long for it with those hot eyes.”

“… Thank you, ma’am.”

“Everything about the girl belongs to the husband.”

Side.

Chiba lightly kissed Regal on the lips.

Regal responded with a soft smile.

“So, what absurd thing happened in the process of notifying the closure?”

“That’s what it means. Embarrassingly, the newspapers that were subject to closure were not published by one place.”

“…What did you say just now, ma’am?”

Regal couldn’t believe Chiba’s words.

No, she didn’t want to believe it.

So, she certainly understood what she was saying, but she couldn’t help but question him.

“Recent media companies, unlike in the past, proceed through division of labor according to their respective roles when publishing a single newspaper. Several media outlets collaborate to write manuscripts or have citizen reporters submit manuscripts. After that, The completed manuscript is received from multiple printing agencies, printed in the form of a newspaper, and published. It is received from a delivery agency and delivered to readers who have signed a subscription contract.”

“According to the wife’s words… It is not easy to reveal the subject of the newspaper’s publication, so even if it is notified that it is discontinued, there is a very high possibility that it will be subject to objections.”

Regal’s expression also distorted.

He, too, seemed to be in trouble with her due to the current situation.

“That’s right… They publish newspapers anonymously, hiding the name of the reporter, the media company that sent the manuscript, and the subject of responsibility. That’s why the article is written by a full-time reporter or a citizen reporter. , Even that is difficult to understand.”

“I’m going to completely avoid the subject of responsibility.”

“The girl thinks the same…”

Chiba’s face is stained with melancholy.

Regal is immersed in her thoughts to solve Chiba’s troubles.

“Have you considered a plan to suspend all related media outlets?”

“Of course I thought about it. However, if we discard all manuscripts critical to us and file an objection, claiming that the articles were submitted anonymously by citizen journalists, we have no choice but to withdraw the notice of discontinuation under the current system. Even if we apply the highest level of sanctions, at most we will not be able to get out of the verbal warning level…”

While establishing censorship criteria when forming the Imperial Press Review Board, this was a method Regal had never even imagined.

This is because a reporter belonging to a traditional media company would never do anything to submit an anonymous article.

Traditional newspaper articles were never published anonymously, as the reporter’s pride was the product of sweat and blood.

By completely destroying that tradition, the reporters were evading the censorship of the Eonsim Commission.

It was a terribly effective trick.

“It’s amazing…”

“If you can’t shut down the newspaper itself or punish the reporters, shouldn’t you attack the media itself?”

“Isn’t it?”

“So, we hurriedly notified the press of sanctions and business suspension.”

“…But it hasn’t been resolved yet?”

“That’s right. They went through an internal meeting for about an hour, and only one media company replied that they had published all critical articles to us. According to the rules, there is only one media company that is subject to closure. !”

Chiba bites his lip.

Her lip make-up is erased in the shape of teeth marks.

How angry she was, she wasn’t even aware that her lip makeup was being removed.

“It really makes me speechless. I don’t know what other crazy person came up with an idea like this…”

Again, Regal was suspicious of someone who became the brains of the press.

The unconventional method of circumventing the sanctions reminded me of the brain behind it.

“Can you guess something?”

“No, it is not.”

Regal, however, shakes her head.

It’s hard to be sure of that now.

Charges are put, but until one day he succeeds in identifying and apprehending him, he refrains from conclusively concluding them.

It was because she had a sudden fear that if she got caught up in the confirmation bias, she would be unknowingly dragged along by that brain.

“It’s embarrassing. Who would have thought that the media would make such a fuss while I was running around trying to maintain the siege of the islands…”

“That’s right. It has already become an established fact that test subjects are being kidnapped and human experiments are being conducted, and sometimes even rumors that your husband is a pure-blooded pureblood and a terrible racist are accepted as orthodoxy in the world. The girl is your husband’s wife. You can’t even imagine how upset the girl is when you’re saying that even though she’s your wife.”

Chiba is crying.

More than anything else, she seemed most upset about the rumors about Regal.

“Hmm… It’s not that serious because it’s something you can just step forward and deny…”

Swoop, Swoop.

Regal strokes her chin.

His other hand was still stroking Chiba’s back or rubbing her buttocks.

“I thought it was really strange that, despite the current over 100 mass media outlets, only less than one-fourth of them were being published on the market. The medicine was done with Sue in mind, and it’s a pity that I didn’t realize it sooner.”

“Boss…”

Chiba takes a moment to organize her thoughts, then looks up at Regal.

“Wouldn’t it be difficult to amend the law by adding a joint responsibility clause between media companies?”

“In a way where all the media outlets contributing articles to the same newspaper have joint responsibility?”

“It is.”

Regal shakes her head slowly.

“There’s nothing that can’t be done, but at the moment, there’s no choice but to delay a lot of time.”

“As expected, is it because of war preparations and rebel operations?”

“By the way, in a situation where the meeting has gone into an emergency mode like now, it is very difficult to raise a routine agenda. .”

As he explained the current situation to Chiba, Regal’s feelings could not help but be devastated.

It was a situation where her affairs were properly twisted, but even so, the very fact that he mentioned her impossibility to her really scratched his heart.

“Why don’t you use the method you used to deal with the old press?”

“Hmm… Actually, even that isn’t easy.”

“Why are you like that?”

“It’s fundamentally due to lack of manpower. Do you remember that public toilet incident that happened about a fortnight ago?”

Chiba widens her eyes.

She blinks her eyes and then lifts the corners of her mouth.

She seemed to feel better just thinking about her first finished piece of her own.

“Are you referring to that sneaky thing the male stuffed animal did when he was alive?”

“That’s right. It seems that recently, the representatives of the old press have most certainly caught the tail, so most of the standby personnel were put in pursuit of them. The remaining personnel are either those who are inappropriate for such a tracking mission, or those who are in a siege near the islands. There are only manpower put into maintaining it. Therefore, at this time, there is no way to use force to damage the press.”

“Is that so…”

However, recalling the finished work was never directly related to the solution.

So there was no way for Chiba’s displeasure to go away completely.

“Huuu… It can’t be anything other than really clever. The articles with the most critical tone are posted articles, but their distribution channels are cleverly hidden with the imperial family behind them, so there is virtually no way to openly punish them. To the imperial family Since we are dealing with tribute goods, there is no way to create a justification for confiscating and searching the distribution center.”

“If the distribution center is the problem, wouldn’t it be possible to find even a small clue if the head office is seized and searched?”

“It’s not that I haven’t thought of it, but it seems that those wild people came up with the same idea first. I heard that the headquarters launched a private safe deposit box rental business, and the imperial family and nobles are enthusiastically responding to it in connection with a well-secured logistics business. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain reliable information related to the media if we suppress all of them’s resistance and proceed with the search and seizure. So I have no choice but to hesitate…”

Whether it’s stepping forward or backing down, everyone is at a loss.

When they step forward, they lack justification, and when they step back, they do not even have a sense of how far they should step back.

“… There are some really annoyingly competent things.”

“Your wife is right. Do you know how paranoidly demanding they are? From the reception stage to the inspection of the goods and the verification of the sender, all requests are accepted only after passing the verification request from an external agency. The principle is to immediately destroy information on the sender, and since delivery is carried out based on thoroughly encrypted information, there is absolutely no way for outsiders to intervene in the distribution process.”

Chiba’s expression darkened.

“… I can’t help but feel dizzy just hearing the words…”

“Even if I try to trace the distribution route of the item and find the person who posted the article, I think that the item is that item, so it is difficult to find any clues to proceed with the traceback. Even if I try to analyze the invoice attached to the outside of the packaging, , At the end of the analysis, the password is renewed. The despondency is beyond words, and the special operations agents groan every time. Do you know where that is?”

Regal began to vent his anger in earnest.

Chiba seemed to be completely fed up just by listening to it.

“Across the empire, tens of thousands of logistics collection boxes have been created. Unless the certificate issued by the aforementioned third party is attached, it will never be accepted. I will issue a certificate unconditionally. It has nothing to do with the special products presented to the emperor, and I am holding the justification that it does not violate the regulations because there is no risk. However, the article manuscripts received in this way are mixed with the special products of the imperial family, so I cannot even read them without permission. .”

Chiba had already listened to Regal’s complaint several times, but quietly listened to his story.

Because I fully understood his frustration.

“So we have no choice but to monitor the route from the collection box to the press. But what if we can barely trace it back? People who have been to the destination, there is only a collection box. Even so, you have to keep an eye on the collection box. The only thing I can find is the errand boy who takes it and puts in the paperwork instead. I have to track him down and trace back, since the journalists have already disappeared.”

How frustrating Regal was, he pounded his chest at that point.

Feeling sorry for Chiba, she caressed Regal’s chest with the palm of her hand.

“In the end, there is definitely a feeling that all these things are connected to the torso, but there is no way to obtain physical evidence. If you have to get physical evidence, it’s always just a step late when you go to catch the entity, and it’s just more frustrating.”

Monohorn’s advice to the Tennessee brothers to take control of logistics was very effectively pushing Regal.

Monohorn had no way of knowing the details of this situation, but he would have been quite thrilled to know this fact.

After further development of the plan based on his advice, the surviving journalists, including the Tennessee brothers, were hiding behind the curtain and constantly harassing Regal.

In the process, the journalists who have awakened to the trick come to devise an effective way to evade the legal sanctions by obscuring the reality of the press and the newspaper.

“Since the emperor noticed this situation, it seems that he is fighting a war of nerves with me over the logistics company.”

The surviving representatives of the old press and journalists were pushing Regal more fiercely than anyone else at the moment.

In the end, even the emperor had to admit that the press was holding Regal in check more effectively than he was.

The emperor had a vague idea of ​​all this, so he volunteered to become a shield for journalists by protecting the logistics company.

Ha ha

Regal let out a long sigh.

He tried to soothe Chiba’s pain, but in the end the conversation ended with his own complaint.

Regal felt something miserable.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. In the end, I only complained about myself…”

“No, my wife. Even though I am well aware of your husband’s difficulties, it seems that the girl complained unnecessarily. I am embarrassed and embarrassed.”

Chiba rests her head on Regal’s chest.

With a brooding expression on her face, she listens to Regal’s heartbeat.

“Ma’am. Right now, I feel like I’ll have to be dragged into them. No matter how much I’m morally condemned and politically driven to the brink, there’s nothing I can do right now.”

“Is that so…”

“That’s right. Now that things have turned out like this, I’m on the verge of regretting messing with the heads of the old press without making the decision to kill them all…”

Evil, evil.

Even as she groans, Regal runs a gentle hand down her back.

The sweat that flowed down her body, she had cooled down before she knew it.

“But, there’s no law saying you have to be dragged around forever.”

“… What does that mean?”

Chiba’s eyes shine.

She was sure from the beginning that if it was the Regal she knew, if it was the husband she fell in love with, it wouldn’t end like this.

“First of all, how about taking a good rest today and holding a meeting with the butler tomorrow? I want to enjoy a bath with my wife after a long time.”

“Boo, Boo…!”

Chiba’s face turns red.

At that moment, what was on her face was nothing like shame.

What hovered over her face was pure desire itself.
