Section 285 Decision

"Of course it is impossible for him to betray him now." The little girl replied. "But..."

"Are you worried about the deployment of troops?" Rotia was indifferent. "Almost all the troops were transferred to the Northeast front, and Essin's subordinates now have 20,000 or 30,000 troops? If he rebels... Groney has no power to stop him at all? Don't worry, the army he commanded was pieced together by recruiting rebels and surrenders. It would be fine to say that fighting with foreign enemies or something, but if he openly betrayed... I don't think it's even necessary to suppress the rebellion, his subordinates will kill him."

"They said... Essin is actually not worthy of the reward I promised." The little girl told the truth.

"A duke's title, and he is allowed to choose a territory... This is a very generous reward," Rotia replied. "And there are many lucky factors for Essin to receive this reward. No wonder others are not convinced. Who brought this opinion? Is our Prime Minister Alinn?"

"It's him." The little girl asked. "Ailin... Is there any reason behind his suggestion?"

It should be noted that since the court became increasingly perfect and stable, Rotia's news channels have become less and less useful. This is because a normal country with political stability, nobles, officials, etc. still care about their own praises. As we all know, this thing often affects a person's future. After all, those who are completely degenerate playboys are a minority, and unless they are very special, such people cannot have any power or influence in the court.

At first, Rhodeya had mastered Flower Street (and the Underground World) and knew many people in the Eagle City, so she was able to provide great help in the selection and appointment of the Little Queen, but now this help has become very limited. Of course, on the other hand, because all the ministers have already taken their place, including Ailin, these ministers may have a little idea, but overall they are not incompetent, so the little girl has no particularly important personnel appointments and removals.

"Is it a reason... maybe it's because I hate people like Essin." Rotia replied. "In fact, our Prime Minister hates many people, including me."

Ailin repeatedly suggested that the little girl "change a teacher". Of course, she was rejected by the little girl (or ignored it to be specific).

"Is it just annoying?" asked the little girl.

"This... maybe it's just a matter of going with the flow," Rotia replied. "There are probably many people who think that Essin is just lucky and not worthy of this honor. Since that's the case, then our Prime Minister will just make such a request."

"In other words, does Essin really deserve the status of a duke?" asked the little girl. "If he gets it like this, it will be unfair rewards and punishments..."

"This... I can't say anything." Maybe it was because the little girl stared at this problem and pursued her relentlessly, which made Rotia a little difficult to deal with. "Sometimes, things are not as simple as they seem..."

"Anyway, you are not sure, right?" The little girl suddenly hit the center this time. Rotia could only nod. Although Rotia entered and left the palace freely with the name of "Queen's Tutor", she was also a smart person and knew that she could not really control the political situation. If she maintained her current state, then people like Elin would only look at her dislike and would cause her some trouble if she had the chance (even if someone like Elin had to admit that Rotia had its own use after this assassination of Belar). But if she went further and wanted to influence the Queen's judgment of various national matters, she would escalate from "trouble" to "enemy". Things would become completely different at that time.

"Okay..." the little girl sighed. She used to sit on the throne, but was regarded as a rubber stamp. At that time, the little girl hoped most was to become a real queen - not only on the surface, but also to actually hold power, and at least her opinions could be valued by everyone. But now that she has achieved this goal, she found that the throne was heavier than she expected.

After becoming a true queen, you must make the final decision for everything. Of course, you will also bear the final result.

"By the way, Rotia, what's wrong with you coming to me? Is there a new rumor in the city?"

"Yes, there are a few rumors that have appeared in the Hawk City recently." Rotia said. Unlike ordinary ministers (such as Alinn), she never wrote those reports, but conveyed them verbally. "A few. Especially for the frontline, it is said that this time the four evil gods came here personally... Our country is probably going to suffer a catastrophe."

"This means there are still Chaos believers in the city?" The little girl was a little nervous. The lurking Chaos believers have really done a lot of big things during this period, which makes the little girl feel threatened. "Is the church's search still going on?"

"They are still searching and catching people, but the effect is getting worse and worse. In the past few days, they have only identified a new cultist... These evil god believers are lurking very well, especially because they do not develop the people around them, so they only have one to capture and cannot get a nest."

"Besides, this rumor doesn't look like it was made up by the evil god believers. Because they won't spread rumors about their belief in evil gods. It's more like it's naturally caused by panic..."

Rotia introduced everything she knew, of course, and added her own various reasonings. After reporting these things, the "temporary tutor" temporarily surrendered.

Now, the little girl is left alone in her bedroom.

Speaking of which, it seems that I never thought that this bedroom was so big in the past. Did my late father live in this big house like this?

Speaking of it, it seems that I haven't thought of my father for a long time. In the past, although my impressions became more and more blurred, I would think of my father from time to time, and I couldn't help feeling sad and want to cry every time I think of it. However, since Byron launched a coup, I seem to have never thought about it. Even if I think of it, I no longer feel sad and want to cry.

Just as my mother-in-law said, is this because there is a spiritual sustenance? Because there is another person in my heart?

Ashu Rufate... She pronounced this name gently. For some reason, if she said this name, she would not help but think of Ashu Rufate's face. And she would feel at ease inexplicably. It was an indescribable sweetness, but it was mixed with a hint of panic about the future.

The twins from the Griffin family rejected the little girl's proposal - although Rotia had long said that she could not have too much hope for a perfect solution to this problem, but the little girl still felt unspeakable anger... and a little regret.

Of course, Rotia promised to help solve this problem. At present, Ashu Rufate is on the front line, and this war has clearly shown that a long-term confrontation will occur. So they will have plenty of time to slowly solve this problem.

Ash Rufate...she repeated this slightly difficult name again. She felt that she was full of courage. Then she came to the table and began to carefully read the pile of reports brought by Elin. Elin had poor eyesight (which is very common for the elderly), so he wrote larger words. These reports seemed quite thick, but it didn't take much time to read them all.

All the things that Elinn had previously reported, including his comments on Essin, had been written into these reports.

"Assin?" The little girl held her chin with her hands and began to think about this question.

Eshu Rufate is optimistic about Essim's ability... But Essim's battle is indeed a little too smooth... Many people are jealous... Although it is just jealous, if too many people have such ideas, the matter will turn around... Everyone will think this matter is unfair. If the concept of "the queen's reward and punishment" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, it will give those who are ill-behaved with the opportunity...

By the way, it seems that Asus Rufate said that "absolute fairness" does not exist. The only thing that really exists is "looks fair".

The little girl closed her eyes and thought seriously. According to what Ashu Rufat taught her, she had to make the final decision and bear the consequences of the decision. Of course, she could also entrust the matter to others. However, the decision of her subordinates was the decision of the monarch, so the consequences of the matter were still to be borne by her. Since that is the case, it would be better to make the decision by herself.

Jana taught her to "think about problems in all aspects". And she does the same now. If she removes Essing from her position, Essing will probably hold a grudge from now on. However, this is exchanged for more people's praise and recognition. If she doesn't relieve her, will Essing be grateful to her? She will be loyal to her from now on? It shouldn't be possible?

As for the battle to challenge rebellion... Judging from the situation of the battle report, the whole process is also very simple and there are no particularly difficult problems worth mentioning. If there is another commander, the battle will proceed smoothly.

Taking these two points into consideration, it is the right choice to break Essin's promise, remove him from his position as a general, and replace him with another person.

The little girl thought, and in the hazy, she suddenly saw Ashu Rufate in front of him.

"...In fact, the so-called king is similar. The king only needs to do two things well: select outstanding talents and choose the right strategy at the critical moment of the country. As long as you do these two points, you will be a good king. As for how to do these two points, it doesn't matter. Whether it is copying others, or you will get it by yourself, or you will find suggestions and opinions from subordinates, or you will simply encounter dead rats... It doesn't matter. As long as you do these two points, you can be considered an excellent monarch... Our world is actually very cold, everything depends on victory and failure. The winner does not need explanation, and the loser cannot tolerate reasons. As long as you win, you are just... Do you know why this is?

"Why?"

"For the living can declare himself justice, but the dead cannot justify himself."

The last sentence made the little girl suddenly shudder. She opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep unknowingly. Well, fortunately there was no one else in the room, and the queen was sleeping on the desk with her chin in her arms and she was not seen by anyone - if she was seen, she would be too big.

Wait, I am already the queen, I can't consider problems in this way. Risk... In fact, Jiana said a long time ago that the most core ability of a king is vision. The so-called vision, in the book, is to see the benefits that others cannot see, or the risks that others cannot see. If anything can be inferred with logic, then what is the meaning of the king's existence?

In this matter, she is the final decision-maker. Just like Asu Rufate said, she is the queen after all, and she can decide everything. And this is what she has always wanted to get in the past.

Essin...What are the benefits of this matter? There is no doubt that there is no special extra benefits. But what about the risks?
