“Looks like you got a positive answer.”

Duke Kyloth shook his head as he read the note that had just arrived.

The sender is Cecilia.

The note contained a request for active support from the emperor faction regarding the dispatch of an envoy to Sergel Kingdom.

There was also a sentence written to ask not to comment on the positive response to the dispatch of the delegation in preparation for the situation.

‘His Majesty is also very cautious.’

Kailos set the note down on the desk.

Perhaps this is an attitude he learned from his secretary, Luke Nedville.

Then the book he was looking at a moment ago came into view.

Now, because of my age, even when it was time to go to bed, my mind was clear and I couldn’t fall asleep. Reading was what made me fall asleep at that time.

But now was not the time to read books.

‘I’ll have to summon the imperial faction members tomorrow.’

He decided to send a note to his right-hand man, a few members of the Imperial Faction.

The next day.

They headed to the ‘club’, a gathering place for imperial aristocrats.

The club here was not a place to dance and play, but a place to hold social gatherings.

Especially in the case of a large group, such as the imperial faction and the aristocratic faction, they had a building for these gatherings.

“Has everyone gathered?”

Kaylos entered the club building.

Then the imperial faction members who had arrived earlier all stood up from their seats.

“Good afternoon, Duke.”

“Good afternoon to you guys.”

As Kylos beckoned, everyone sat down at the same time.

He opened his mouth after slowly looking around the members of the imperial faction.

“As you all know, the morning noble meeting is scheduled to be held at the imperial palace on the day after tomorrow.”

“Yes, we are aware of it.”

One of the duke’s aides, Marquis Reynolds, replied with a serious expression.

Others were also paying attention to the duke’s words with serious faces.

“I have been helping Her Majesty Cecilia with one project. It was to resume trade with Sergel Kingdom.”

The moment the duke mentioned the kingdom of Sergel, he started to chatter all over the place.

It was because no one could have imagined that Kylos would be helping the empress in such a thing.

The duke calmed the commotion with a single gesture. Then he went on to explain again.

“If we propose this agenda, it is expected that there will be strong opposition from the aristocracy. Therefore, we should actively express our opinions in favor of it to the extent that we are not pushed behind.”

Kaylos didn’t stop there, but also told them about the benefits they would gain from resuming trade.

A chance to experience a new culture.

Increasing tax revenue through trade.

Expectations for revitalization of foreign tourists.

Contributing to peace with neighboring countries by increasing friendly countries, etc.

“Make sure everyone remembers it well.”

“Yes, Duke.”

A member of the Imperial Faction responded in a booming voice, and Kylos nodded with a satisfied face.

Viscount Astro wrote down all the information he found out and sent a letter to Duke Montersen.

He knew better than anyone else that selling this information to the Duke of Montersen would benefit him.

As soon as Montersen received his letter, he sent a note instructing him to come to the duke’s residence.

“Hey. Is everything you said in the letter true?”

“Yes, Duke. In the afternoon, Duke Kailos spoke to all of us at the club.”

“… ….”

Montersen carefully looked into the eyes of Viscount Astro, who was sitting on the sofa across from him.

To make sure that you are not telling lies.

Because he had been involved in politics for over 30 years, he was confident in seeing people.

‘Looking at your eyes, it’s the truth.’

It’s like the innocent eyes of people living in remote villages.

The Duke thought that his judgment on Viscount Astro was over.

“Thanks for letting me know.”

“Yes. If you need more information next time, we will cooperate as best we can.”

Montersen gave a chin to the butler standing next to him. The butler, who quickly recognized the signal, put the bag containing 200 gold on the reception table.

“Thank you, Duke!”

“Please see this person off to the front gate.”

The butler took Viscount Astro and left the drawing room.

Occupying the parlor alone, Montersen sat leaning on the armrest of the sofa and looked over Astro’s letters.

Following the rough information found through the Marquis of Marlborough, Viscount Astro leaked the internal source, so we were able to come up with a countermeasure.

‘At this level, it would be reasonable to assume that the basic preparations have been made to some extent.’

Maybe he has already tried to contact Sergel Kingdom.

In that case, Sergel Kingdom must have taken the posture of burying some of the wars that took place in the past.

“Hmm… ….”

As much as we had to oppose the resumption of trade, we needed a justification enough to overwhelm public opinion in favor.

And it was up to him as the head of the aristocratic faction to remember that.

“It’s not easy…….”

The duke kept thinking over and over again in the drawing room, but he couldn’t come up with a plausible answer.

In the end, his worries continued even in bed.

Still, he was able to come up with a few plausible reasons thanks to his non-stop running of his brain.

This should do.

The duke made a note on the back of the paper so he wouldn’t forget it.

The next day, people who play a key role in the aristocratic faction were gathered in an annex located within the duke’s residence.

“I think everyone knows that Her Majesty Empress Cecilia will preside over a meeting of nobles tomorrow.”

“Yes. I know.”

They responded simultaneously.

Montersen told me what was the agenda for tomorrow’s meeting of the nobility. It was then made clear what the aristocratic policy was.

“We must take a stance against resuming trade with Sergel Kingdom as much as possible. This is also to inherit the will of the Duke of Hundrey, who wanted to achieve a great feat but was unable to achieve it.”

“Duke. Excuse me, can I ask you a question?”

One raised his hand. Among those gathered here was the relatively young Count Racal.

“What is it?”

“In order to respond to public opinion in favor of the imperial faction, please tell us what justification we must present.”

“I was about to tell you anyway.”

In a cold voice, Montersen informed me of the objection he had thought of the night before.

“To remember well.”

“Yes, Duke!”

“And you are to spread this to all other noble faction members today.”

“Yes. I will run right away.”

After the members of the aristocratic faction greeted Montersen, they left the annex.

“b*tch. It will never happen the way you want.”

If things didn’t work out the way she wanted and Cecilia distorted her expression, she would give him a good feeling.

Montersen was looking forward to the meeting of the nobles tomorrow.

It was a bright morning.

After getting rid of sleepiness with the water the maid brought, I got ready to go to work.

I put on a well-trimmed dress. Then, standing in front of a full-length mirror, I checked my appearance more carefully than usual.

I checked several times to make sure there were no protruding hairs or beards.

This is fine.

I nodded once.

There was only one reason why I was making such a fuss today.

Because there is going to be a meeting of nobles in the morning presided over by Cecilia.

Of course, the noble meeting itself was held once or twice a week, so it wasn’t that special. However, the agenda to be presented at today’s meeting was very important to me and Cecilia.

Agenda that must be succeeded unconditionally.

That’s right, discussing the resumption of trade with Sergel Kingdom and the dispatch of an envoy!

‘Only when this happens can I explore Sergel Kingdom in advance.’

It is a great opportunity to look around the country where I will live in a few years. Never blow it up!

“Let’s do well.”

I made a fighting pose while spitting out my words to myself.

However, it is not a very good picture for me, a mere secretary, to recklessly take the lead.

For me and Cecilia.

In that case, wouldn’t it be necessary to insure one more thing?

I checked the grandfather clock and there was still more time left.

“… ….”

I stood there and shook my head.

It wasn’t long before I could think of a powerful weapon for Cecilia to wield.

‘I can use this as my final card.’

After gathering my thoughts, I moved to the office.

I was able to spot Cecilia trying to open the office door with the key just in time.

“Meet Her Majesty, Empress Cecilia, Mother of the Empire.”

“Good morning, Luke.”

Cecilia greeted me with her subtle smile.

“Your Majesty. There is a noble meeting at 10 am today.”

“Hmm. I already know. Do you know what is on the agenda?”

“Of course I do.”

I lightly bowed my back while answering.

Then I looked around. Fortunately, there was no one but us.

“Your Majesty. May God give you one piece of advice?”

“Yunheohaji.”

“I think there will probably be a strong backlash from the aristocratic faction. Because they always interfered with His Majesty’s work.”

After hearing my remarks, Cecilia hardened her expression.

“Actually, that part bothered me too. I took your advice and made some preparations, but there is still one possibility left.”

“So, as a last resort, you might want to consider it.”

“What is last resort?”

I approached her and told her the means.

“Hmm. I don’t want to use it, but…….”

“I think sometimes you need to make a bold decision, Your Majesty.”

“… ….”

Even after hearing my words, Cecilia showed hesitation.

But I seemed to know what decision she would make.

Soon Cecilia,

“According to what you said, take it into consideration.”

She gave the expected answer.

“Yes. If that is the case, it will be able to considerably calm down the resistance of the aristocrats.”

“But I intend to use it as a last resort.”

“I think that is enough, Your Majesty.”

Now, I’ve hung up all the last insurance. Thanks to you, my heart has become stronger.

Now, come. Aristocratic bastards

Because Cecilia, not me, will crush all your resistance.
