There were so many who wanted to kill me that they had to draw lots and wait in line among themselves.

“Let’s see. When and where should I be alone for someone to come and kill me?”

“Please don’t joyfully make such ominous remarks, Your Majesty.”

“It’s a joke, Schopenhauer.”

I started humming a tune as I began contemplating.
First, I have to stay away from the knights, and it shouldn’t be a path frequently used by servants. It should be a place with rare foot traffic to avoid someone swiftly approaching to slit my throat.

‘The garden is suitable. Other palaces’ gardens are better than the Queen’s Palace, which is safe thanks to Merm.’

For example… the main palace where the emperor resides?

“Ah, before that, I need to attend the regular government meeting. It will be interesting to see the reaction if I bring the entire government with me.”

“They will be utterly terrified.”

“Really? It should be fun to watch. On that day, observe the movements of the government closely. Don’t intervene.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Of course, Phaibel could select someone entirely unsuspecting for the government.

But not doing so was probably due to the devilish saying, ‘Much profit accompanies high risk.’

If you choose a safe person, nothing will happen, but if you choose a dangerous one… see, accidents like this will occur.

These small and big incidents will become stairs to elevate my enemies to the gallows.

‘The next government meeting is… conveniently tomorrow.’

There was enough time to prepare my government officials splendidly.

The next day, the delegates who appeared at the government meeting were all astonished and couldn’t close their mouths.

The Queen, dressed in a golden dress, was followed by three officials.

The man with auburn hair exuded a graceful charm, wearing a dazzling outfit adorned with jewels all over his snow-white uniform, making a dazzling appearance.

“The dress I’m wearing, isn’t it the fall collection of ‘Cullen & Kerrick’?”

“Huh. I didn’t think there would be anyone who truly suits those clothes….”

Not all nobles called tailors to tailor their clothes. It’s too costly and time-consuming, so only the upper-class nobles could afford it.

As much as they live on the subsidy but not as richly, the nobles who attend the government meeting preferred to wear ready-made clothes.

Thus, among the male nobles, there were about ten famous clothing stores in the capital, and the most flashy and outstanding one was none other than ‘Cullen & Kerrick.’

Honestly, if you didn’t have looks to match the clothes, it would end up being a ridiculous sight, so it wasn’t very popular.

However, the man with auburn hair perfectly pulled off the clothes from ‘Cullen & Kerrick.’

His eyes beneath the long eyelashes, which were hard to believe for a man, were like lilacs, and every movement was graceful like a flower.

The clothes made of shiny white fabric, embroidered with silver threads and adorned with brooches and jewels, suited him so well that the nobles couldn’t say anything.

“If you have this level of charm, you are fit to be in the government.”

“Well, the author is supposed to be a noble….”

Next, the delegates turned their attention to the man with blue hair.

With a much better demeanor visible in his quiet demeanor than the other two.
Of course, the shoulders were narrow, and the body itself looked overly slender, almost like a scarecrow. However, evaluating only the face, it was decent.

With flawless and clear skin, and eyes that slanted charmingly, there was a cat-like charm in its own way.

“I heard he’s the third son of the author.”

“At least becoming a government official seems more honorable.”

“That’s right. It is an honor for the family to receive the grace of Her Majesty the Queen.”

“Speaking of that, he doesn’t seem to be particularly good-looking, does he?”

The last one was a brown-haired man trailing far behind the Queen, looking somewhat unimpressive.
