Section 109 Queen
Chapter 109 Queen
"Very good, these are your appointment letters." Ashu Rufate said. He gestured for a moment, and a servant next to him brought a full of documents. "I think I can trust you. Please regain your reliable assistants from the past and contribute to this city, the queen, and once again."
He picked up these documents, and now everyone can see that Ashu Rufat has letters of appointment in his hand. He sent these letters of appointment to everyone present one by one.
"If you have any ideas and opinions, you can come to me at any time." Ashu Rufate said in a calm tone. "I have received the full authority granted by the Queen to handle all personnel affairs."
He paused, his eyes slightly looked at the door. There, the servant had already made a gesture to him.
"Very good. If there is no problem, please take the appointment immediately with the letter of appointment."
The meeting ended here, and a few minutes later, Ashu Rufate had left here and went to another conference room not far away.
If anyone is familiar with this mansion, he will definitely point out that this is the place where the previous master, the Duke of Byron, often convenes meetings.
At this time, the conference room was full. Even if a stranger who had no idea what happened, he could easily recognize the arrogant expressions and gorgeous clothes of many attendees, and they must be a group of nobles.
After all, the City of Eagle is a royal city. In terms of cities alone, there is no second city in Groney that has so many nobles living in. Although many nobles have disappeared in the battle between Byron and Rafa, or in the coup launched by Byron, there are still enough nobles left. I want to gather a group of ministers from it... Although it is different in terms of quality, at least in terms of quantity, there is absolutely no problem.
Ash Rufat strode in and came to the host seat to sit down. He looked unaware, but this action itself made most of the people present frown.
This kid is too arrogant.
Everyone already knows that the Queen has enthroned the personal guard named Ashu Rufate as the earl. But enthronement is one thing, and it is another to get unanimous approval from others. Before this turmoil, did anyone know who "Ahu Rufate" is? Does anyone know anything about him? He is just an unknown guard, and others don't even have the interest to remember his name. At least none of the people here have heard of this name. Of course, even if they have heard of it, they won't care.
But now, this little guy named Asu Ruffat ascended the sky in one step, was directly named Earl by the Queen, and then became "a man's imperial meeting". If people from afar heard about this, they might directly treat it as a joke. But such a joke happened. Although it cannot be said to be reasonable, it is at least legal.
Sure enough, is the queen just a little girl after all? Even though she accidentally showed courage and wisdom beyond others' expectations, she was still a child and could not handle everything properly.
This time they gathered here mainly because the Queen issued the "Recruitment Order". The most direct reason was that Byron took away all his allies and subordinates when he retreated, creating a vacuum for officials. This was reflected in two levels. The first is the management level of the local government - that is, the management level of the Hawk City itself; the second is the management level of the central government - Grooney country. Of course, at the local government level, there are small nobles or civilians who serve middle and low-level officials. However, at the level of the central government, even families with prominent families are willing to serve as official positions.
Besides, the "One-person Royal Conference" is just a joke. Even if the little queen doesn't understand, at least Ashu Rufat will understand - if he didn't understand in the past, he will understand now. Because with a person's energy, it is not enough to handle so many official duties. From this point of view, this time the "recruitment order" may directly entrust the ministers, which is also a step to reach the sky.
Although this guy named Ashu Rufate would probably hold the position of Prime Minister tightly in greed,... if there is a position of minister...
"Spicy Fish" is an ordinary hotel in Eagle Falcon City. This tavern is located on the edge of the dock area, with its main customers being dock workers, and of course some outsiders. Although this hotel is not high-end, it is large in area. There are nearly 60 tables in the hall and more than 30 waiters are busy. Of course, the price is also affordable and is very popular among dock workers, sailors and nearby residents.
It was dinner time, and several figures gathered in a corner of the "Spicy Fish" hall. At this time, the main guests in the tavern were not humans, but a group of dwarf merchants from afar. Just like all dwarfs would happen when dwarfs were drinking, the tavern was filled with shouts, screams and whistles. In fact, only a few humans sat on this table, and their voices seemed quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the vulgar loud voices of the dwarfs on the tables around.
"According to information, this afternoon, a personnel-related meeting was held in the Queen's temporary court..." said a man who was dressed simply but very neatly.
"The little queen has officially appointed a minister?" asked the man opposite.
"No, it's not the meeting chaired by the little queen, but Ashu Rufate...the Earl."
"He? Then, is that 'one man's imperial meeting' true? Such a ridiculous thing can be done, it is really worthy of being a child's whimsical." The speaker took a sip of wine lazily. "But we Lord Ashu Ruffat probably finally gave up... because it is impossible for a person to hold so many positions at the same time. Who is the appointment to be the Foreign Minister now?"
"The problem is... he was not even separated from his position as a minister... He appointed a bunch of deputy and middle-level officers."
"Did those nobles agree?"
"Of course I agree. They seem to have secretly agreed to see Ash Rufate's joke. They probably will work very hard. In this way, Ash Rufate, as the superior, must handle official duties endlessly day and night... It's enough to think about it."
"So that's it... But this Ash Rufate's greed for power is really amazing. I would rather die of exhaustion than delegate power?"
"It seems to be so. I've heard that some greedy snakes will swallow too much prey and keep themselves alive. This Ashrufate is probably similar to this situation. In just one month, things will definitely change."
"Very good, then I'll report the relevant situation to the Duke. Is there anything else that needs to be reported?"
"Yes, Ashu Rufate seems to have appointed most of the management officials of Eagle City today. He did a good job in this matter and actually retrieved all the people who were dismissed and dismissed in the past few years. In this way, the city management should be on the right track soon."
"Well, okay, that's all...what else?"
"Also, before the meeting, he met with a businessman."
"merchant?"
"A foreigner, but now he has become famous in the business circle of Eagle City. The man's name seems to be Ajin, a new chamber of commerce is opened, specializing in the church's magic messaging scroll business... They seem to be familiar with each other... The two of them have been talking secretly for a while, but they cannot be sure what deal they have reached."
"Merchant? No businessman can save him now. Maybe he just bought a magic scroll... I don't need to notify Lord Byron for such things..."
...
"The hair has grown a little longer." The mother-in-law slowly combed the little queen's hair and said softly.
"Well, mother-in-law, I want a better hairstyle, don't do this... like a little girl." The little girl made an opinion.
During that incident, my mother-in-law was not affected at all. On the one hand, she was lucky enough, and on the other hand, she was the completely harmless type. Neither Byron nor Essin cared about her existence at all.
After the little girl came back, her mother-in-law became one of the few remaining people in the palace. This time she also lived in this new residence with the little girl.
Anyone who has lived in Eagle City for some years knows that the mansion of Regent Byron was actually not a mansion, but three. To be specific, Byron acquired three mansions from others, and then connected the buildings to build the current situation. Ash Rufate simply took advantage of this and divided the mansion into three parts, part for meetings and official duties, part for residential areas, and the last part for reception. From a certain perspective, this is no different from Byron's use.
"Ah, why is this not good?" asked the mother-in-law softly. "I think it's very suitable..."
"Tonight, Ash Rufat will come to see me." The little girl explained. "I hope it can...be...be more dignified and beautiful."
"Ah...hehe, why should we be more dignified and beautiful?" asked the mother-in-law.
"I don't know...I just...want to do that."
"Do you really want to see that Ashu Rufate?"
"I...I don't know...Mother-in-law, now every time I see him, my heart will be beating, but if I don't see him, I feel very sad." The little girl touched her face. "I don't know why, is it...I...I'm sick?"
"You're not sick." The mother-in-law continued to comb the little girl's hair, and said. "Although you are not a woman now, you already have the worries of a woman."
"What is the 'woman's thoughts'?"
But this time, the mother-in-law just laughed softly but refused to answer. The little girl couldn't continue asking questions.
"What will Ashu Rufat do tonight?"
"Report to me the progress of work." The little girl said. "He said that since I have taken power now, he must report to me regularly on the progress of various matters, and at the same time, I will make plans for the next stage."
"Last night... Did you have a nightmare?" My mother-in-law suddenly changed the topic.
"Ah, is there?"
