The Monster Knight Wants Maternity Leave (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17
The Great Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Since the New Empire had only recently been established, whenever ministers gathered, the grandeur of the palace gave way to clamorous disputes resembling those of a marketplace.
Moreover, the past few days had grown even noisier over the same agenda item:
“Your Majesty. If the child is five years old, then at least one year of that must count as dereliction of duty during pregnancy! This matter cannot simply be overlooked.”
It was precisely about disciplining Lucia for her parental leave.
“Exactly! If we’re going to sweep this under the rug, then we must treat the official who abandoned his post the same way not long ago!”
“That’s right! Parental leave lasting over five years—how absurd!”
Once Count Rendor opened the floodgates, officials seized the moment and cried out in unison.
“My goodness, do you truly believe that case is comparable to Captain Lucia’s?”
Emperor Caius, having heard their complaints, rubbed his ear with an expression of utter weariness.
This was a complete contrast to his usual demeanor toward his cherished Lucia.
“Your Majesty, no matter how skilled a Sword Master she may be, according to imperial law…”
“Yes, that Sword Master. Don’t you all understand better than anyone how greatly she benefits the empire?”
He flicked away the earwax from his finger and replied indifferently.
The Emperor had told no one that Lucia was nearing Grand rank.
