Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

Little Golden Ball? – 2

Things related to dukes do not spread widely in the social world. If you dare to make fun of the duke and make the duke uncomfortable, your head is in danger.

But there are always exceptions. Rumors spread like crazy when it is an incident that cannot be endured without making fun of it, or an incident that the duke secretly hopes to spread.

There is nothing far to see. It is now.

– Chief Carl Katoban. How are you doing these days?

“Shut up.”

I got a call while I was organizing my thoughts alone in an empty club room.

I wanted to ignore it, but it could be important, so I accepted it, but as soon as I received it, I heard a crazy provocation.

‘Catoban.’

That’s the castle of King Majong. Make someone your son-in-law to take.

– Why is that? Even so, His Excellency Mahjonggong can’t become Krasius.

“Shut up.”

Seeing section 2 giggle at my reaction, his hands and feet trembled.

Does that bastard dare to make fun of his boss’ misfortune?

‘The last days.’

I can’t believe it. How evil can you be to treat your boss like a toy?

It’s deplorable. In this situation where the relationship between the top and the bottom is distorted, how can it be called a correct civil servant society? Thorough top-down must be the virtue of a public servant.

The desire to make section 2 into section 2/section/section soared even now. At the same time, there was a feeling of blindness in front of my eyes.

‘It’s all spread.’

If he’s teasing you like this, it means that the Ma Jong-gong incident has already spread enough.

Chief 2’s specialty is collecting information, but it’s not enough to instantly figure out what happened at the Crown Princess’s birthday banquet.

Perhaps someone at the banquet switched jobs with a loudspeaker. I don’t know what the hell kind of person is spreading rumors.

‘It’s only been two days.’

No, not just barely, but already? Come to think of it, two days seems like enough time for rumors to spread.

The crown prince, the crown princess, the duke, the chairman of the imperial council, and many other great figures were present. Even if only one of them opens his mouth, rumors spread quickly.

“Who did you hear from?”

– The magic tower guys. When I first heard it, I thought they were crazy.

I closed my eyes at the flirtatious words of section 2.

You heard it from someone in charge of the Mage Tower? To those who don’t even open their mouths unless it’s work related?

‘Was it the devil?’

I reached the truth that I didn’t want to know. It was Ma Jong-gong who took on the role of a loudspeaker.

Perhaps he told the Mage Tower wizards to work hard to spread rumors. The wizards must have obeyed the order of Lord Majong, who is at the top of them.

‘It’s ruined.’

There is no answer if the entire Mage Tower is playing the role of a loudspeaker and communication tool. Because of the teleport magic, the things going around spread rumors all over the place? The entire empire already knows.

‘I made up my mind.’

I broke out in a cold sweat. Ma Jong-gong made the right decision.

“There’s a New Year’s celebration, so I’ll have to wait for that day.”

I instinctively recalled the last words of Ma Jong-gong.

I finally realized it. He certainly said that he would wait for the New Year’s ceremony, but he did not say that he would stay still.

I guessed like an idiot that Ma Jong-gong would be quiet. According to common sense, the person who set off such a large bomb couldn’t just sit still.

‘…Should I not attend?’

Seriously, I even thought about that.

If you participate in this New Year’s Hare Ceremony, splendid eyes will surround you. Would I rather accumulate 1 stack of offense to the emperor and escape? I guess that’s good for your mental health.

-Still, Manager, can’t anyone touch His Excellency Ma Jong’s crush?

As soon as he saw me falling into silence, the second section manager carefully offered words of consolation.

It didn’t seem like comfort at all, but by that guy’s standards it was comfort. Doesn’t sound like consolation at all, son of a gun.

“Are you trying to make marriage easier for me?”

My head was complicated, so a sharp reaction came out. To be honest, if I think about what section 2 said, it’s not a sharp reaction, but it’s innocent even if I stab it with a blade.

‘I’m sure you can’t touch it.’

Yes, life will be easier if you become the husband of Prince Ma. The same dukes also bow down in front of Prince Ma, and even the emperor respects Prince Ma. Prince? It’s not even worth discussing.

A place that no one can touch. That is the position of Ma Jong-gong’s husband.

‘What does that mean?’

But what about that? I don’t want to choose a person to be with for the rest of my life based on gains.

Besides, I don’t know why, I really don’t know— Anyway, isn’t Ma Jong-gong liking me? It’s an asshole to take advantage of such a mind.

– It’s not strange to benefit from your wife…

“That’s because you got married and benefited, did you marry to benefit?”

– No, I’m from a commoner, so why is the manager more like that?

Chief 2 laughed at the remarks that completely violated arranged marriages. I’m sorry, but I’m more common than you.

***

The conversation with the manager was cut short. I don’t think the manager is out of his mind to speak at length.

“Then do your best. Think that if the manager collapses, His Excellency Ma Jong-gong will come running.”

– You bastard.

What an asshole to a subordinate who didn’t spare any advice until the end. It was a huge compliment. Today is a rewarding day.

The communication tool was turned off at the end of the manager’s appearance.

‘Awesome.’

A sly smile leaked out. I knew long ago that the manager was a good seller in the wedding market, but I didn’t know that it was something that Ma Jong-gong was also aiming for.

It’s really amazing. It’s great to develop a relationship like that with the youngest daughter of the Iron-blooded Duke, but beyond the duke’s daughter to the duke?

‘You hold the line well.’

It is satisfying to see the manager running to the center of power. As expected, the choice made two years ago was not wrong.

A manager of an age that can be said to be young because it is not young. The other guys lay down on how they would follow such a manager, but I immediately attached myself to the manager.

In fact, isn’t that natural? I can see the prince is determined and pushing, but if he rebels, that’s an idiot.

‘Fools.’

I still don’t understand. Why did you ask? You were a big man even before the war.

It’s the same as being the heir to the imperial family, and if you go to your mother’s family, you’re the current—

“How was it?”

I was interrupted by a low voice from behind.

I got goosebumps for a moment. I’m crazy, the important thing now is not the boss’s blood relationship.

“You don’t have to worry. The manager seemed embarrassed too.”

I tried my best to pretend to be calm and opened my mouth. If you show a flustered appearance, you might just be questioned—

“Are you sure?”

“…You must have been embarrassed?”

As soon as I met the cold red eyes, I was at a loss for words. If you ask me if I’m sure, I have nothing to say.

At my reaction, the red-eyed ghost, no, Section 1, slightly frowned.

‘It’s sad.’

That’s a snarky response. Instead, he asked me to take a look at the manager, and he did his best, and what came back was that look in his eyes.

But I didn’t ask. Because I know that Section 1 likes you. A duke appeared as a relationship, but of course it can be like that. As a colleague, I fully understand.

I’m not doing this because I saw Section 1 talking to himself bleakly as soon as he went to work.

“Well, the manager can’t like just any woman.”

Chief 1, who was silent for a moment, spoke brightly. As if nothing happened to me, as if there were no blows.

Yes, I agree. The manager is the one who has been covered by Hecate-sama’s shadow for two years. Now I’m barely clearing the shadow, can I see another woman?

But…

‘You’re a woman too.’

The most fatal problem that section 1 is not aware of.

But I didn’t bother to say it. Lesson 1 I don’t want to go to the basement either.

Chief 1 seemed to have calmed down, so he came out quietly.

‘Should I go on a business trip for the time being?’

Inadvertently, I felt that way. He’s calmed down now, but he doesn’t know when Section 1 will go into a state of rage again.

When section 1’s heart is twisted due to dating problems, only I get tired. Unfortunately, only I know that Section 1 likes the manager.

‘I’d rather not know.’

Belated regrets come flooding back. I wasn’t pretending to know. Even if I noticed, I should have clenched my teeth and pretended not to know.

Those who get forbidden knowledge for nothing are painful. Damn it

“What is marriage?”

A lament containing despair and resentment. Now my sorrow has spread toward the institution of marriage.

This is why marriage is a problem. Trying to bind humans who should be free under the name of husband and wife, of course things will explode.

That’s the case just by looking at the manager. I was usually a good person, but since marriage problems are intertwined, isn’t it suffering like this?

So marriage should be avoided. You just have to enjoy dating and live while feeling freedom.

‘Everyone doesn’t know that.’

The fire moths who do not know the beauty of freedom and go to the path of redemption on their own. It is very sad from the point of view of watching.

Well, it’s unfortunate, but what can I do? Which is their own choice.

‘It was already too late.’

Chief, I can’t take it anymore. From the moment his relationship with Princess Marghetta progressed, the only thing left for the manager was to go straight ahead.

Sadly, he slightly nodded his head in the direction of the academy. Rest in peace with this, manager.

And the wind was blowing moderately, so just as he was about to return to his office, the communication tool in his arms emitted light.

– Mr. Lafayette.

When I activated the communication tool, a woman with blue hair appeared.

“Ms. Cristina.”

A smile appeared on her happy face.

It’s easy to be happy even if you’re not married.

I don’t really understand.
