In the Name of Empress-Chapter 452 - 310: The Valley-Style Answer

Champselle Avenue No. 97, the grand and ancient complex of buildings, is the location of the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Jin Yuan Kingdom.

This is the political center of the Jin Yuan Kingdom.

Yet, in recent years, it has been particularly chaotic.

The ruler here was once the Emperor of the Old Empire, then the Liberator Carlo, followed by President Marco, and now replaced by Romeo, this echo chamber issuing orders on behalf of the new Liberator Alina.

The ministers all know that although Romeo is loyal, he is just an unqualified politician, lacking the ability to serve as the head of a major nation.

The true ruler of the Jin Yuan Kingdom is Alina, who doesn’t quite like living in the West Palace and often goes to Mont Blanc to stargaze.

Many ministers are discontent with Romeo, but no one dares to defy Alina.

Everyone knows that Marco is the source of terror, and Alina is more formidable than Marco.

Recently, two rumors have been circulating in the elite circles of West City’s high society.

The first concerns a scandal between Miss Alina and Mr. Roland.

The elite of high society just exchange knowing glances and smiles, not taking this scandal seriously.

In the romantic and free-spirited Jin Yuan Kingdom, is such a scandal even considered a matter?

Not to mention that Miss Alina is unmarried. Even if she were married, she would still have the freedom to pursue love, and her husband according to custom would have to bless her finding true love.

People are just slightly worried about Mr. Roland’s real wife’s anger.

But they won’t be worried for long.

Empress Sylph, too, is from the Imperial Family and is well accustomed to the separation of marriage and love in high society, she might be unhappy but surely can accept it.

Even if she doesn’t accept it, it’s their triangular relationship, unrelated to others.

The elite didn’t take this scandal seriously until the largest local newspaper published an anonymous story, spreading the news, and they started to sense something was off.

Even more surprising was Alina’s ambiguous attitude, neither explaining nor acknowledging, suggesting a flavor of letting them gossip while she just listens.

Some are confused, while others taste something out of these unusual moves.

Linking this with the long-vacant government head position, shrewd political elites likely anticipated what was coming next.

The wise have already conceded from vying for the head of the government, while the ignorant still dream of becoming the new Prime Minister.

After Alina seized power, she abolished the presidential system to show a completely different style from Marco’s government and reverted to the Prime Ministerial cabinet system.

In recent years, the Jin Yuan people have grown accustomed to policy unpredictability, they are used to it by now.

People are only curious about one thing, who will be the new Prime Minister?

Today is the day of the new Prime Minister’s announcement, and cabinet ministers have arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau early, waiting eagerly.

Soon, as their stretched necks start to ache, a carriage arrives slowly.

The ministers move forward to greet, only to be disappointed to find it is a Civil Affairs Bureau carriage.

As the carriage curtain is lifted, sure enough, it’s Romeo who gets off.

Some couldn’t help but gripe, this guy is just an interim stand-in, does he really think he’s the Prime Minister? If not for Miss Alina appreciating his loyalty, he wouldn’t even qualify to enter the cabinet, yet he’s here flaunting his status.

No matter who the new Prime Minister is, it will not be Romeo.

This is probably his last time going to work as the Acting Head of the Civil Affairs Bureau, let him put on airs.

Someone looks at Romeo with a gaze of pity.

Loyalty is important, but Miss Alina is a pragmatist and won’t esteem Romeo highly just for his loyalty.

Over the past few months, he has comprehensively proven his incapability to head the government.

It’s time to put an end to all this!

Romeo walks down from the carriage and heads toward the Civil Affairs Bureau as usual.

He smiles and nods to his colleagues.

A few of them approach to greet him, while some ministers pretend not to see or only nod slightly as a greeting.

Romeo sees all this, keeping it in mind.

Am I barely gone, and they’re already taking my cup away?

Roland was right, this is the perfect opportunity to observe the character of cabinet ministers.

Looking at those ministers with mocking, sympathetic, or even schadenfreude expressions towards him, Romeo slightly lowers his head, fearing he might burst into laughter.

You laugh at me for not being able to be Prime Minister, yet fail to realize you can’t even keep your positions as cabinet ministers.

He knows well that Roland and Alina are in a nearby small building watching the drama unfold at the Civil Affairs Bureau entrance with binoculars.

Who is the clown will soon be revealed. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

As the cabinet ministers wait anxiously, in a nearby small building, two young people are hidden behind a curtain, observing the cabinet ministers.

A young and beautiful girl takes out a list and hands it to the young man.

Through the window, the young girl introduces the cabinet ministers, smilingly asking:

"It seems this list needs a major revision."

"No, no need for changes."

The young man shakes his head slowly, his tone remarkably calm, "This list is the result of your comprehensive assessment, I trust your judgment, Alina."

Called Alina, the young girl stares somewhat puzzlingly toward the young man, her brows slightly furrowed, "If you’re not planning changes, then why..."

Her words are unfinished, but the meaning is obvious.

If there’s no plan to change people, what’s the point of these small maneuvers?

The young man, with a serious expression, corrects her, "I said there won’t be changes in the short term. Once the situation stabilizes, some people will have to go."

The performance without an audience is the truest.

Though some people have abilities, they’re doing stupid things that harm unity.

To purify the team, those people must leave, but not now.
