Section 133 Return
Return of the 133rd chapter
Under the leadership of the guards, Ashu Rufate walked into the conference room.
I haven't come for a while, and the conference room has changed a lot. All tables, chairs, etc. are missing, and the only one is the throne in the middle of the room. This throne seems familiar. Ashu Rufate thought about it and confirmed that it was the one in the palace conference room.
The entire conference room has been transformed into a small palace. The queen of Groone, Luvia Angel Markremiz, was sitting on her throne at this time.
The guard bowed to the little queen and retreated. Ashu Rufat remembered that he had not stipulated such rules for the guard to lead the way before. However, he was no longer the chief of the palace, so the changes that took place in the palace were already the decision of Her Majesty himself.
"How is this place? Is it beautiful?" the little girl looked at him with a smile. "A dwarf architect designed and built it for me."
"Although... the renovation cost is only a small amount, it is better to save it." Ash Rufate replied.
A hint of anger flashed across the little girl's face, but it disappeared immediately. People say that practice is the best teacher. The little girl has been in power for several months. To be honest, several months have not been long, but it is enough to make the little girl change. What she originally thought in her heart would be exposed to her face, but now she can hide her true mood under the mask of calm.
"I've seen Ellen," the little girl changed the topic. "According to what he said, he came with you... your... fiancées."
Ashu Rufate already knew about this personnel appointment. In fact, everyone already knew about this matter. Marquis Alinen had officially become the prime minister of this small court. Everyone knows that Marquis Alinen was an old minister, and even the little queen had served three generations of monarchs. In addition, he had a strong ability to do things, was conservative in character, and was quite famous among the nobles. Even if he was not considered popular, he would not be disgusting.
"Well, yes. Actually, it's not just them, but also... Countess Marian, I call her Aunt Mary." Ashu Rufate replied in a calm tone. "Thank you very much for providing them with a place to stay."
This matter seems a bit strange to outsiders. Before they arrived, the little girl had already designated a residence for them. Although Ashu Rufate was the Minister of Finance and had a prominent and important position, it did not make the Queen personally care about the accommodation issues of his family. Everyone can only guess that this is a kind of political skill that is both thrilling and pulling.
"Did you come here as a personal guard before, just because of her relationship?"
"That's it." Ash Rufate replied. Hearing this answer, the little girl raised her chin proudly.
"I will meet that Shirley later, and your other fiancées."
"Of course," Ash Rufate replied. His voice was still calm, but the little girl still felt an indescribable sense of frustration. She bit her lips hard.
"Ashu Rufat, I seriously consider the question you mentioned yesterday...the one about the war." The little girl finally decided not to discuss the topic. "What should we do?"
"To be honest, I hope to solve the problem in the short term. Byron seemed to have made up his mind to be a turtle and compete with us for time. He would never take the initiative, so we must take the initiative to launch an attack." Ash Rufate replied. "Rafa is still in a unclear direction. Although he doesn't know why, he may not have any action in the short term. In other words, this period of time should be the key."
"you mean……"
"Rafa is probably going to wait and see. I guess he did not have the firm determination to launch a rebellion like Byron, so he would wait patiently for the result. This result will determine his actions. Oh, actually, I should say that all people, perhaps the barbarians, the church, and Tiberius, are waiting for the result between us. Therefore, it is very likely that the first battle will happen."
"The first battle is the decisive battle..."
"Whether both sides want to do so, this effect will be produced. Although the casualties of this battle alone may not be fatal to either side, or even have a significant impact. However, the result of the war will make other forces choose to stand in a team, which is very fatal. I think Byron may not have realized this, because I heard that he is still strengthening the defensive power of Fornoros... But no matter how strong the city is, it is just a stone coffin."
"But he has now connected the rebels from all over the country... to form an alliance." The little girl replied.
"Yes, this means that his troops are quite strong." Ashu Rufat paused and looked at the little girl on the throne. "So, you must fight for this war in person."
"Dear...individual expedition?"
"Yes, the emperor personally commanded the army and went to the battlefield in person." Ashu Rufat looked at the little girl. "That would take a lot of courage."
"I'll command?" the little girl asked in surprise. After all, she is a queen. Although she has basic fighting skills in the content she has learned, she has never had military skills. After all, a queen personally went to the battlefield to command the army... Unless she really had no choice, there would be almost no precedent for this matter.
"Yes, you come and command." Ashrufate said. "It is not only necessary to plan, but also to wear armor to face the battle."
"But... I can't." The little girl suddenly felt panic for no reason.
"It's okay, I will assist you at that time. Of course, I'll just assist you." Ashrufate said. "But don't care too much, that's not a difficult thing. All you need is courage. As long as you have courage, everything is simple. And our Prime Minister and Acting Minister of Finance will need some time to familiarize yourself with the work environment. So we should be able to wait for a while."
When he heard the word "acting minister of finance", the little girl suddenly burst into her mind.
"I will decide myself." She replied arrogantly. "In addition, the person you recommend is not the acting Minister of Finance!"
Ash Rufate's face was still calm, and he seemed to have not heard the little girl at all.
"So now, please allow me to resign as Chancellor of the Finance Department," said Ashu Rufate. "Because I am afraid I don't have much time to spend on finance, but I have to make every effort to prepare for this war."
"Your Majesty," a guard came in and reported. "Mr. Min De asked for a visit."
"I have nothing else to report," said Ashu Rufate. "Go farewell first."
After saying that, he turned around and left. The little girl wanted to stop her, but in the end she didn't say it.
Ashu Rufate walked out and met Minde at the intersection of the courtyard. The latter immediately greeted him. "Sir Earl, it's been a long time since we saw you. Where have you been? Why, do you report your financial and tax work to the Queen?"
"I have been in the military camp. As for finance and taxation... these troubles are no longer under my control." Ash Rufate replied. "I am no longer the Minister of Finance."
"Ah..." Min De was stunned. "Why?"
"I'm quitting." Ash Rufate replied. "Her Majesty the Queen has agreed."
Ashu Rufate's figure was gone, leaving Min De not coming back to his senses for a long time. The Minister of Finance was gone? What does this mean? An opportunity? Or a trap? He thought too much and far away, so he thought for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he found that the guard who informed had been waiting in front of him for a long time.
"Ah, sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. Is Her Majesty the Queen going to see me?"
"Sorry, sir." The guard replied. "She said she wanted you to come again after a different time."
...
Ashu Rufat left the door, and the little girl stood alone on the edge of her throne, biting her lips tightly.
Beside her, a pretty clever little door in disguise was pushed open and the mother-in-law walked out of it. It was obvious that she had been hiding here for a while, so she heard all the conversation between the little girl and Ash Rufate.
The little girl rushed over and rushed into her mother-in-law's arms. "Am I doing something wrong?" Her voice mixed with a bit of crying. "I originally wanted to tell him that during the days when he was away, I missed him so much. I felt so painful when I missed him... But when I met, I couldn't control myself and said those stupid words. Why can't I pass on my thoughts to him? Did he start to hate me? Why am I like this? He was obviously in pain, but he said some insincere words?"
"Silly kid, it's because you fell in love with him."
"It turns out that it's such a painful thing to like someone!"
"Yes, so love will change a person." The mother-in-law gently stroked the little girl's hair. "It doesn't matter if she fails once. But you must learn to speak out your thoughts, your thoughts, and your concerns about him with your mouth, and express them with your eyes, expressions, and actions. Although you are a queen now, he is just your subject. But you must retain a little bit of the tenderness and charm of a woman for him."
"Character? But I...he only treats me like a child."
"Don't worry, you will become an excellent woman in the future and attract all his eyes to yourself. You must learn to be bold and learn to be reserved." The mother-in-law smiled gently. "The queen needs to attract everyone's attention, while an ordinary woman only needs to attract one person's attention. If the former can do it, the latter should not be difficult at all."
...
"Sherry, what's wrong with you?"
Shirley turned her head and looked at Xingke behind her, with a dazed expression on her face. They lived together for quite a long time, so the initial barrier between them had dissipated a lot.
"I think... it's a little strange." Shirley replied.
"What's strange? Didn't we all arrive at Hawk City very smoothly?"
"Why did the Queen arrange my residence for me?" Shirley replied. "And Ashu Rufat couldn't touch it."
