The Scroll Department's office had been noisy since morning
A middle-aged man, the Minister of Education, stormed into the office
"I saw the letter of cooperation sent to our department this morning. Surely you must have called the Ministry of Education to stop by?"
Whether the Minister of Education was angry or not, there was a woman who looked at him calmly.
Namia Roapi became the Minister of Scrolls at the age of only 23.
She responded nonchalantly, not seeming surprised
"Ah, is that 50? | was too busy to see you."
The Minister of Education took a deep breath.
She sent a rude cooperation letter in the morning, but 'I was too busy to see you?'
He suppressed his anger and protested.
"Although we are both ministers, you are much younger than me, and the Scroll Department is smaller than the Ministry of Education. Isn't it a matter of courtesy for you to come to me personally?"
"I know."
Namia answered half-heartedly as she trimmed her nails
"I suppose it was a bit discourteous."
Namia Roapi.
Just a few days ago, she was a civil servant who was at the bottom of the Scroll Management Department, which was openly called the 'Hopeless Department in the civil servant organization But not long ago, she suddenly found herself in a ministerial position because of the endless magic tower lord-tism.
The minister of the newly reorganized 'Scroll Department after all the higher ups in the Scroll Management Department were cut off due to the crown prince's actions.
So, from an outside perspective, it's a perfect 'parachute spectacle'!
"But if you had waited a little longer, I might have gone."
That infuriating tone made the Minister of Education's anger soar to the top of his head.
But he couldn't scream or fight with the minister by pulling her hair. Because the empress and the young prince were currently visiting the Scroll Department office.
'They say she is favored by the imperial family, but she is clueless and shamelessly arrogant!'
The Minister of Education glanced at the empress and prince outside the glass door.
Despite the transparency of the glass, Namia and himself were separated in the minister's office.
Except for the black-haired secretary behind Nammia, it was just the two of them.
He warned her through gritted teeth
"Seeing it firsthand, the thoughts of the Scroll Departments minister are quite shallow. You're sitting still in the minister's office instead of assisting the imperial family? This is really... ah."
"Yes? What's wrong with that?"
The authority of the imperial family in the empire was formidable
This was because they were 'dragon people', humans whose blood was mixed with dragons. Ordinary people would naturally obey the pressure they exuded even if they stayed still. How could she be so arrogant
The Minister of Education raised his voice, his face expressing this was the right time to speak up
"Dear great dragons, is it okay for a minister to act so carelessly? Huh?"
"Oh, is this considered careless? | didn't know. There is no such law."
With an expression that showed she was not affected at all, Namia tilted her head and blew at her fingernails, which she was working on.
"Personally, I'm just comfortable with the imperial family..."
"What? Are you crazy?"
When the Minister of Education got angry, Namia widened her eyes and crossed her legs.
"His Highness the Crown Prince personally told me not to mind that he is a dragon and to treat him comfortably."
"He told me, 'Our cute and lovely little one, do whatever you want to do, Mia-Mia-Mia. This dragon will protect you. Just marry me. I actually secretly prepared the wedding."
Namia's secretary, standing behind her, swallowed a cough. She added with a shrug
"So I'm not scared of anything?"
"You, really..."
"So, please get the Ministry of Education to cooperate with this event."
"No, what..."
"Otherwise, I'll report to the dear dragon. The dear dragon, whose eyes are on the cute and lovely me, won't stay still"
"The Minister of Education bit his lower lip, suppressing a groan.
Rumors spread through the imperial palace that Crown Prince Kiaros was living in seclusion because Namia had dumped him
But who would have thought that he would be so distracted by one woman and still clinging onto her!
'Putting that aside, her tone is so infuriating!'
He glared at Namia, trembling with anger.
******
After a brief conversation, the Minister of Education rose to his feet with a huff
He looked around the department with an annoyed expression. With eyes ready to catch something, but
"There's no way you can catch it"
With a proud expression, I looked at his back
A few days ago, this place was the 'Scroll Management Department' where there were a series of things to be pointed out.
Employees' attendance was bad, the office environment was a mess, and security-related documents were scattered around haphazardly.
However, after I, Namia Roapi, became a minister in an unprecedented and unique case.
"How is it? Isn't it perfect?"
Paperwork was neatly organized, employees were sitting in their seats, and everything was in order.
Even the empress and prince who came to visit the Scroll Department were comfortably and pleasantly looking at the scrolls.
In the end
"You will regret it, Minister of Scroll."
'The Minister of Education stomped out of the Scroll Department.'
I stared at his back and grinned inwardly.
"Wow, being a minister allows me to play with ministers. It's the best.
Normally, I wouldn't have been able to act like such an arrogant yet clueless young girl.'
The role of behaving badly by trusting in the imperial family's favor.
"Of course, it's a trap dug for the greater good, but... But acting like this suits my aptitude.
I reached for a document again with a different posture and expression than before:
"Minister."
Seeing me starting to focus on work again, Kibon, the secretary behind me who was like a shadow, spoke carefully.
"That dragon... dear... That's, uh, it's a little..."
It seemed the fact | called the crown prince 'dear dragon' earlier shocked him as well. I grinned and waved my hand as if it was no big deal
"It's okay, its okay. This is all permitted by His Highness the Crown Prince. I can sell his name as much as you like."
"..He probably didn't think you would sell that much."
"He definitely gave permission. Would he have given permission if he thought I'd sell this much?"
"But still what could he say later on about what he had already allowed? It's all for the imperial family."
"Just do what you're told. Do you have time to worry about the crown prince right now?"
Upon hearing my words, Kibon seemed to snap back to reality and buried his face back in the stack of documents. Dark circles were clearly visible under his eyes, having worked.
Of course, I had a lot on my plate too. Even more than Kibon, who was just a secretary.
It couldn't be helped because I was the minister of a small department, but
"If I were still at the bottom like a few days ago, I wouldn't have been able to do anything even though I knew every detail of the Minister of Education's scheming."
There were so many things that got better when I suddenly became a minister.
A higher salary, being able to attend various flashy and important events, not having to listen to stupid bosses, not having to hide my abilities, being able to demonstrate my abilities on my own, and being able to lead this organization well But among all those improvements, the best was this.
Being able to act like even more of a villain to the villains in the original work, bullying and asserting dominance!'
After remembering the original story, | suddenly rose in rank thanks to the crown prince and the magic tower lord, I never thought I would have such good fortune.
'However... The taste of power is unexpectedly sweet'
"Power is good! Honor is good! Minister is good! Promotion is good! The air up here is good!"
I didn't plan to go this far at first.
I just wanted to prevent the tragedy of the original story, but
"This path to success, I will never miss it!
Now, there was no original work or whatnot
There was also no Namia Roapi who lived lethargically from day to day.
My eyes, consumed by power day by day, sparkled.
'Never!
So, how this all started.
