Chapter 9. First birthday (4)
She stepped forward in silence.
After that, the first prince followed quietly as well.
“Did you know?”
Abby just asked calmly.
He didn’t say what he knew.
“Did you know?”
The Queen simply lets his quiet fury pass away in silence and gentleness.
“What was written?”
A little late, I ask as if I really don’t know anything.
“The budget wasn’t evenly distributed. It was leaking in the wrong place, but”
Oh, was that so?
He’s a so-called embezzler.
On paper, it is recorded that all budgets are fairly distributed, but in reality, it means that someone messed with the budget that should come into our palace.
Abby could be pissed off.
Having a hand in the money used for the royal family meant that the royal family itself was being taken lightly.
From now on, who will be killed?
Watching it like eating popcorn.
“It can’t be…
The queen pointed her hand to her mouth and shook her shoulders.
Seeing her reaction, Abby narrowed her eyes and glared.
“Did you not know about this? Wasn’t it your responsibility to deal with the concubine?”
Basically, it is the queen’s domain to manage the concubine and sort out what happens within the concubine.
Now the King is reprimanding her.
Dare to be inside the concubine… And it’s dumbfounded that someone didn’t even notice that someone was playing with Yesan at will.
“…I have nothing to say.”
The queen sincerely listened to his rebuke with her head bowed like a criminal.
wow? Are you crying too?
….hmm. Did you really not know?
“I trusted you and entrusted you with management. But now what happened?”
Apparently, Abby had no intention of letting this matter go unnoticed.
Well, the timing I found out was the worst.
It’s because I noticed it on my birthday.
In terms of experience, I’d be pissed two or three times more.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t openly criticize the queen in the presence of other nobles.
In the end, the first prince, who was worse than he was, stepped forward.
“father!”
“…What is it?”
“This is the work of the wicked. Mother’s will never…
“So what?”
I froze at the cold word.
feel sorry for
“Isn’t it your responsibility just because you didn’t do it yourself?”
A very ideal word.
“Because you neglected management, your younger brother was naked and hungry. Are you saying you really have no responsibility?”
If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m sitting on the sidewalk.
No… not that much?
He said he wasn’t so miserable because he had money from selling diamonds.
As if there were no more excuses for the king’s words, the first prince also looked at me and bowed his head.
It wasn’t really a look that resented me.
Are you really sorry about something? sympathize? It was close to that feeling.
That guy’s mother has a natural cooler effect just by looking at people, but her son doesn’t have a strong taste.
“This is disappointing.”
Her father’s heartfelt words made the complexion of not only the queen but also the other concubines pale.
Right. Those options must have followed the queen.
“Your Majesty! It’s not Ellia-sama’s fault!”
Mother hurriedly came forward and said as if to protect the queen.
I… Mom? Do we really need to shield the queen here?
Looking back, I’m a little concerned.
Like the conversation when I met the queen earlier…
It didn’t feel like my mother was following the queen, but it seemed like there was a different reason.
“Because I don’t have the qualifications….”
“Qualifications? What qualifications are you talking about? You have already given birth to a child with this body blood. That alone is enough to qualify you as a member of the royal family.”
“But I…
“You should be proud of yourself as a member of the royal family.”
Saying that, Abby comforted her mother.
In short, it means don’t belittle it any longer.
huh. huh. I agree too.
Having said that, Abby returned her gaze to the queen.
“Make sure to find out who is responsible for this incident and hold them accountable.”
“?…”
Yes.”
“And make sure this never happens again.”
“I will not worry your Majesty anymore.”
“If something like this happens again, then the queen… I will hold you accountable as well.”
Watch it once, but not twice.
The first prince was taken aback by the stern declaration and tried to say something, but the queen reached out and stopped the prince.
When the prince saw Jiomi, she cast a cold gaze at her son.
I mean, don’t talk nonsense.
“I will definitely find out who is responsible and punish them severely.”
The queen promised with a firm will.
Then, this time, it came towards our hat, and suddenly it looked really sad.
“Lifana… I don’t know how to apologize… I wish I had at least consulted with you… It’s my fault for not noticing.”
How are you?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I burst out laughing to the point that I actually went to bed in my heart.
It’s funny.
It’s really funny.
I never thought I’d realize by now that blatant pretense like that would only add to the fun.
At this point, I was sure of one thing.
The ringleader who embezzled the budget must be at the center of that woman.
That the queen had no idea what was going on in the concubine in the first place?
who would believe that?
The embezzled budget was probably laundered several times and shared with each follower.
Apparently, Abby has already noticed.
It’s obvious when you see that I said no twice.
However, she is also a member of the royal family.
A light reprimand is given, but no further figures can be disclosed.
Perhaps soon the head of the victim, who is the ringleader of this incident and properly prepared, will roll on the floor.
After all, in any world, the political scene does not change.
I’m fed up with me, who reincarnated a hundred times.
“Elia-sama… you don’t have to apologize to me.”
However, the mother did not know that and was restless at the queen’s apology.
Mom didn’t do anything wrong.
The twisted ones are always those in power in this hall.
“Don’t worry anymore, I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen in the future.”
okay. Does that mean I won’t let you know in the future?
The queen really seemed to apologize with a sincere heart that made even me stunned for a moment.
You can’t fool me though.
Those smiles, tears of sincere sorrow.
There is no warmth in the queen’s eyes that evoke such emotions.
But what about the other concubines?
The expression of displeasure is blatantly felt.
Even among the nobles, there are those who are outright hostile.
How many crazy people are involved?
This will definitely solve the budget problem.
It would be dangerous to joke around twice as long as you got the king’s attention.
but.
Seeing the hostility just now, it seemed safe to judge that some of them turned into enemies because of today’s incident.
Yes, your thoughts are free.
I have no intention of forcing you there either.
It’s up to you to decide which side you’re on.
by the way.
just try to touch
If it does happen, then it would be good for anyone to be prepared.
deep in the bones.
I’ll make you regret your foolishness forever at the bottom of hell.
So if you want to live long, don’t touch this side.
I swore inwardly, even though I was foolish on the outside.
* * *
Collaboration feature of turbulence, anger and resentment.
Half a year after Arel’s Happy Birthday.
Financial peace has returned to our family.
It was that month that the money started coming in properly.
As it was a matter that angered the king, it had no choice but to be dealt with quickly.
The meaning of the end is that the person who led the budget embezzlement case that has plagued our family has been caught.
And the ringleader met a miserable end.
An aristocrat whose mastermind was embezzlement was annihilated throughout the family.
ie the death penalty.
At the end of the investigation, the head of the family confessed and was punished for deceiving the royal family.
… overheard the nanny talking.
Huh… Heavenly Punishment?
When I heard the story, I shook my head.
That would be the case if an unknown aristocrat really led everything.
I sighed.
Anyone can see that he is not the real culprit.
Caught too easily
And the execution…. Even the silence was carried out in an instant.
It’s probably a terminal prepared just in case for money laundering.
However, since it is necessary to drive away the crime in moderation, he will not be truly innocent.
However, it will not be a big-time villain who can turn everything upside down.
“Dah??????
I licked my lips with a bit of regret.
what. Words are the solution, but in fact the truth is buried in darkness.
From my point of view, it doesn’t matter anyway.
After all, my basic purpose, the operation to revive the household account book, has succeeded.
He does not sympathize with the executed nobles.
From what I hear, it seems that he has committed embezzlement in many other cases as well.
If you’re really innocent, you won’t be abandoned with that kind of shield.
I have no reason to sympathize.
Anyway, thanks to you, my baby food has been enriched.
And the mother no longer sighed.
That’s it.
“Prince? ah? do you do
it?
When I open my mouth, the nanny scoops up baby food that has been cooled just right.
Thanks to my teeth starting to grow little by little, I felt like I was about to graduate from the time when I only ate my mother’s milk or milk.
It’s a little sad, but when the time comes, I’ll have to wean my mother’s milk.
Thanks to this, my gums are itchy these days, so it can’t be anything but a hardship.
Even if the body is strengthened, it is really difficult to tolerate tickling gums.
Thanks to that, these days, I instinctively bite and suck this and that in my mouth.
Um… My growth report is about this.
I thought about it for a while.
In the end, the embezzlement case was cut out only at the tip, and the outline of the top was not even revealed.
but.
If my reasoning that the queen was involved was correct, it would be beneficial to disengage moderately at this point.
It’s because there’s little chance of hitting that side anyway by digging further here.
An all-out war could ensue.
I won’t know in a few years, but now I want to avoid it as much as possible.
So does the king.
There are a lot of strong people like the old man who assisted the king, such as the head of the butler.
You’d better hide the sword quietly until I’m really strong.
I also have no intention of caring about anything I do unless that person threatens my family more.
that’s annoying
I think it’s a win-win relationship for each of us to live without touching each other for as long as possible.
Just me and mom… And if the person around me suffers damage, then again, the story will be different.
Anyway, I don’t want to worry about that anymore with this one.
thanks to that i was relieved
That’s enough.
If things didn’t work out, I would have made up my mind and considered how I would stand out.
But now, as long as the financial problem is resolved, there is nothing for me to do right away.
For the time being, it means that you can play and eat like a baby as you want and relax.
A daily life where you don’t have to work is really the best!
It’s always thrilling! I don’t get tired of it!
“Taaa!”
Cheers come out of nowhere.
