Chapter 2213 – 2213. Dark Moon
Yuria followed Cynthia’s secretary to her secretary’s office. The secretary’s office, which was decorated like her company’s office, was half empty. Judging by the things left on the desk, it doesn’t mean there’s no one there, but it looks like he’s gone on a business trip.
“Miss Yuria. Do you know how many businesses Her Royal Highness runs?”
“No. “I don’t know.”
She didn’t teach me, so how could she know? Of course, she never did any research.
“Her Royal Highness runs 14 businesses, both large and small. Of these, six are unknown, informal businesses. Unfortunately, I can’t tell Miss Yuria either. “I wonder if Miss Yuria officially comes to the secretary’s office.”
“There is no need to feel sorry. Maintaining confidentiality is natural. Does she run her own business from the secretary’s office?”
“We don’t have the manpower for that. The Secretariat is involved in running the business according to the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess. In addition, Her Majesty the Princess values talent and is sponsoring 13 artists and 75 students. Their management is also the job of the secretary. “It is also my job to clear up rumors related to Her Royal Highness Princess Elsa.”
“… “You handle most of the matters related to Her Royal Highness.”
“That’s right. We work for Her Majesty the Princess. Loyalty is as important as ability. Miss Yuria, can you work for Her Majesty the Princess?”
“For now, I will work for Her Royal Highness.”
“… Personally, I don’t really like the answer, but it’s good. First, let’s start by verifying the documents.”
“By what standards should I check documents?”
“Her Royal Highness’s time is precious. In Miss Yuria’s opinion, there are documents that require Her Highness’s judgment and documents that do not require Her Highness’s judgment. Please divide it into two.”
A total of 150 documents.
Yuria divided the documents in 3 minutes. Cynthia, who was looking at Yuria’s paperwork with her mouth open, hurriedly closed her mouth. She almost drooled from her mouth.
“Hmm. She just flipped through the documents without even looking at them…”
“It’s speed reading.”
“… That’s an enviable ability. Of course, this is only if you check the documents properly. In this case, accuracy is more important than speed.”
Cynthia checked the classified documents. Among the 150 sheets, there are 7 documents classified to go to Her Majesty the Princess.
“… This is quite different from my classification. “I thought Her Majesty the Princess would have to personally judge about 50 chapters.”
“It’s my first time, so I guess I made a mistake.”
Rather than making a mistake, the standard of judgment was different from Cynthia’s.
As Yuria was sorting through the documents, she thought of Eugene. In [Baekhwan], Eugene didn’t do any of her paperwork, so most of the paperwork was Yuria’s responsibility. Yuria handles everything that isn’t really important.
“… Proposal to invite Her Majesty the Princess as a guest on an entertainment show. “I don’t think it’s a document that Her Royal Highness should handle personally.”
“Since this was a proposal delivered to Her Majesty the Princess, I decided that I should upload the documents first.”
“Her Majesty’s image may suffer if she appears on a vulgar variety show. And now, Her Majesty the Princess is reducing her external activities as much as possible, so things like this should be cut off automatically.”
Eugene would have shown interest in entertainment broadcasts. There are a lot of beautiful women in the entertainment industry.
“Okay. “My thoughts were short.”
“… Why did you leave behind documents related to embezzlement? Such important documents should be handed over to the princess.”
Embezzlement of 300 million credits.
In Korean won terms, it’s about 3 billion won. From Yuria’s perspective, it was a small amount. Is there a need to raise it to the final decision maker? Order her subordinates to catch the embezzler, retrieve the embezzlement, torture him, and kill him, and the job is over. The report is completed with a verbal report during tea time.
“It didn’t seem like a particularly big crime.”
“… What about the new business report here?”
“I decided I was doing well.”
“… Why did you ignore this investment proposal?”
“It is an investment that will not return even half of the investment. “I wonder if someone included the proposal as a joke.”
“This is an investment proposal from one of Her Royal Highness’s estate managers.”
“Ah.”
“Miss Yuria sorted the documents like a plenipotentiary rather than a secretary. “I will tell you the criteria, so please classify them accordingly.”
“Yes.”
I sorted the documents again. This time Cynthia nodded with satisfaction.
“You are doing well to let me know. Below are some documents related to information. The Secretariat operates a separate information department. “I can’t give you details because it’s confidential.”
Cynthia brought new documents.
“Those documents… ?”
“This is information coming from the intelligence department. More than dozens of pieces of information are uploaded every day. Among these, we must select the information to report to Her Highness.”
“Is it relevant this time too?”
“The top priority is information related to Her Royal Highness. Other than that, information you need to know when making a decision.”
Yuria finished sorting the documents in 3 minutes.
It may not have shown any really important information, but there was some pretty interesting information. Helpful information for Eugene. She planned to tell it to Eugene later when she had the chance.
She then proceeded with the paperwork. Yuria had to receive a burdensome look from Cynthia.
“Mr. Yuria. Would you like to get a job with the secretary’s office today? She will serve as the next Chief of Staff.”
“I am just a trainee.”
The daily work of the secretary’s office was a battle with documents. The documents are thinned out and new documents are created and delivered to the business according to Her Majesty’s orders.
If there is any kind of transaction between Princess Elsa and a politician, the actual transaction is carried out in the secretary’s office. Yuria confronted Princess Elsa based on her documents and shared her report. In the afternoon, she waited on Princess Elsa. Since she was an attendant, all she wanted to do was be someone to talk to.
“The head of the management office and the chief secretary praised Ms. Yuria so much. She was especially surprised when Director Cynthia spoke passionately about having to scout you.”
“I’m glad you liked it.”
“I am not going to offer you anything. It’s obvious that you’ll be rejected anyway. Let’s talk about schedules. “I heard you’re going to tour two businesses with the chief secretary tomorrow?”
“Yes. “I’m worried about whether I can do well.”
“Those two places have already been proven. All you have to do is go and be treated well. The next day, you work at the security office. Do you know what day it is?”
“The day the dark moon opens. And I understand that it is the day when Her Majesty the Princess hunts monsters for the citizens of Neo London.”
It is dangerous to go outside on a day when the dark moon appears. Even ordinary monsters don’t know what kind of monster they will mutate into when the dark moon appears.
Princess Elsa and other nobles go hunting for the Dark Moon for propaganda purposes. Risk your life and take out monsters for the citizens! For that promotional text.
“Many nobles and royals died in the hunting grounds where the Dark Moon appeared. It wasn’t because of the monster that they died. Miss Yuria, always be careful. “It’s not strange if anything happens on a night when the dark moon rises.”
“… Yes. Her Royal Highness. I will be careful.”

On the day the dark moon appeared, Yuria acted from the morning together with the head of security, Rita.
“Well, you probably received security and combat training at the maid academy, so there’s no need for me to educate you separately, right? Let’s go to the warehouse. I’ll lend you the equipment we use. “You have to give it back when you return to the academy.”
There were all kinds of weapons in the security office armory. From guns to missiles, exoskeletons, magic weapons, etc.
“First, change into your combat maid uniform. “It is a special magic fiber material, so even if you are hit head-on by a level 5 attack, it will block 2–3 times.”
“It’s an incredible battle uniform.”
“My mission is to protect the princess, but this is the basics. In other words, it means that the security office is being recognized that much. Linda and Cynthia seem to have a good opinion of you… I can’t rate you that highly. Your level now is level 4. To join the security office, you must be at least level 5 and have solid combat experience. … Are you offended by what I said?”
“No. “I heard the right thing, so how could I be offended?”
“You have a good personality. Pick a weapon too.”
Yuria chose a total of 7 daggers.
“Dagger? Are you using it as a main weapon, not a secondary weapon?”
“After all, the weapon I am most familiar with is the dagger.”
There was no particular reason why Yuria preferred her dagger. Because it’s easy to hide. The maid who serves the master is armed with a striking weapon such as a sword or spear? The master’s dignity is low.
Rita took the armed Yuria to a place where no one was around.
“You and I will carry out different missions this Dark Moon.”
“Is someone else in charge of Her Royal Highness’s security?”
“That’s right. Our children will protect Her Highness even if it means giving up our lives. Her Royal Highness will be hunting in a safe place with other nobles, so there won’t be any danger. It’s hunting. In reality, all the users do it.”
“…”
“There is a rumor that a ghost appears in a place a little away from the hunting ground. As you know, on the day of the dark moon, you have to be careful of even the smallest rumor. Because rumors can be influenced and materialize.”
“It’s such a wild rumor. As if someone was spreading it on purpose. “It feels strange, so wouldn’t it be better to change the hunting ground?”
“It’s the hunting ground chosen by Her Majesty the Princess. Changing hunting grounds because of rumors? People will laugh at Her Highness, calling her a coward.”
It was a matter of face. Face and image were very important to politicians. Yuria understood the situation and nodded.
“You’re not afraid of ghosts, right?”
“Yes.”
Even ghosts could be killed, so there was no reason to be afraid.
“Good. Then let’s move. It’s still daytime, but I need to get to the hunting ground first and familiarize myself with the terrain.”
