I Have Transferred to the Worst Labyrinth in Another World

66 – First Test – 4

“You called, Your Majesty.”

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

I called Solomon because he enacted the law for the first time with me, and I called Justitia because he had a high understanding of the law as a Supreme Court judge.

I could call the other guys if they called, but I was a little sorry to have to call them since everyone was doing their own work.

“Why did you call us apart?”

“Actually, I felt the need to revise some of the laws, so I called you guys.”

“Hmm… Is it because of the abortion-related incident that happened yesterday?”

Solomon and Justitia seemed to already know about the incident. This saved me a lot of trouble because I didn’t have to explain.

By the way, I’m the king of this country, so why do I know these things first…?

“..Did you guys already know about the incident?”

“You’re taking it for granted.”

“Where did you hear that? It must have been a business matter that had nothing to do with you, Solomon, even if it was about Justitia, the Supreme Court Justice?”

“There are ways, Your Majesty.”

This bastard, could it be that he let his eyes loose in the palace?

Because of Justitia’s personality, she wouldn’t have told Solomon about this incident first.

As a king, I don’t hide my eyes separately, but the advisor does a good job.

“Isn’t that important right now? You need to make a law soon.”

“Tsk…Okay, let’s deal with this matter first.”

I don’t like being selfish, but Solomon won’t do anything to harm me.

So he decided to leave it alone. It was obvious that if I cared about it, only my head would hurt.

“As you all know, for the first time in hundreds of years, there’s something wrong with the bill.”

“The law, which I hoped to enact roughly, now has a problem.”

“Isn’t that why I called you guys to fix the problem? Come on, think of a good solution one by one.”

I plan to reorganize the law by selecting one of three amendments, one for Justitia, one for Solomon, and one for me.

Of course, if the law is suddenly changed, there may be forces that oppose it.

“Hmm… Even if he asked me to come up with a plan, it wouldn’t be something that would suddenly come to mind…”

“Couldn’t it just be a simple change to the Special Property Act? Or maybe a small amendment to the Family Relations Property Act would be fine.”

“I’ve already thought about that. But I came to the conclusion that it might be a little difficult.”

At first, I just wanted to make it impossible to dispose of special property between family relationships, but special property includes pets as well as fetuses.

In the case of a pet raised together in a family, it was difficult to estimate that it was the property of only one person, so it was difficult to amend the special property law.

It was a little difficult to change other laws related to special property, however, as the number exceeded dozens.

“Is there a way to keep the fix to a minimum, but to make sure this doesn’t happen again?”

“I would have been king if I had been that smart.”

“What?”

“It’s nonsense.”

Solomon was a joke later and a knife on his neck.

“Hmm…But is it really necessary to revise the existing law? It might be more efficient to just create a new law.”

“Isn’t the Supreme Court well aware of how cumbersome the process of enacting the law is?”

“It’s not constitutional, and it’s not a very complicated procedure. If we propose a bill, it will be applied in less than a month.”

“One month… I think that’s enough…”

Common sense tells us that an incident like this won’t happen again in a month, so should we just make a new law?

No, isn’t it because of the complacency I had when the law was first enacted? One mistake is acceptable, but two mistakes are unacceptable.

“…Still, enacting a new law is a bit unreasonable. Let’s do it in the form of amending the existing law.”

“Okay…Then…”

After that, I, Justitia, and Solomon discussed and exchanged opinions in the office for about an hour.

***

“Hmm… I can’t seem to come to a final conclusion.”

“It’s not easy to make laws in the first place.”

When Solomon and I made the law, it took more than three months to complete a constitution. As much as that, the bill was a task that required a considerable investment of time.

“For now, why don’t we stop here for today and talk separately tomorrow? It’s late.”

“Let it be.”

Justia and Solomon bowed to me and quietly closed the door to the office and went out into the hallway.

After confirming that they had disappeared, I slumped back in my office chair and stared blankly at the ceiling.

“Haa…That’s difficult.”

I was very curious about how the code was created in the past.

There must be thousands of legal provisions in the Kingdom Code, but to think that the two of them created them…

“..Your Majesty, are you there?”

“…Isaac? Come in now.”

At that time, Isaac, the chamberlain, knocked on the door and came to see me.

“What’s going on?”

“I have something to tell you, so I’ll see you in person.”

“What to report…? Let’s talk about it.”

It’s not often that Isaac, the chamberlain, reports directly, so what happened?

“It seems that the Prime Minister wants to talk about the engagement.”

“Haa…Engagement is kind of engagement…How big is the age difference.”

“However, the queen is absolutely necessary. She not only relieves her majesty’s work stress, but also for future generations…”

“Afterlife? After all, what is the use of having a posterity for me, who is immortal?”

For me, who neither ages nor gets sick, there was no need for posterity. Of course, he could pass on the king’s seat later, but that would be a matter of choosing the wisest person in the kingdom and placing him there.

“Above all, isn’t there a big age gap with the Prime Minister’s daughter? I heard that they are now 4 years old.”

“So, isn’t it just an engagement? It won’t be too late to get married when you become an adult.”

“…Do you know how old I am and say that?”

“No one knows your exact age.”

“Haa…”

It’s annoying.

An engagement is an engagement. Making a marital relationship with a 4-year-old? I never do

Besides, I like older people.

Of course, there is no one in this world older than me.

“It’s okay. I know that the Prime Minister’s loyalty is strong, but it’s a bit too much to have a 4-year-old child as queen.”

“Then I’ll send it back.”

“Yes yes.”

Isaac bowed at my words and quietly walked out of her office.

I looked at Isaac’s back and sighed.

‘Too many troublesome things today…’

Even a country that boasts power close to a god is not absolute. They feel emotions just like humans, and feel tired.

Also, sometimes I am selfish, and sometimes I want to avoid reality.

‘…Could you get some fresh air?’

On a day as tired as today, taking a walk was the best.

So, since we still have about an hour left until dinner, we decided to take a look around the palace gardens.

“Chung!”

“Hard work.”

After being greeted by the guards I met on the way to the garden, I headed for the rose garden on the west side of the palace.

I don’t know why, but I think the rose garden is the best among gardens.

‘…Anyway, is the management sloppy? Are weeds growing?’

A total of four gardeners exist in the palace, and each gardener is in charge of one garden in the north, south, east, west, and west.

In other words, there must be a gardener in charge of the rose garden, which is the western garden, but for some reason, I felt that the management was a little neglected.

Of course, a few weeds are not a big problem. As the owner of this palace, I was quite uncomfortable.

‘I’m going to have to give this a little soul.’

The attendants who work in this palace should be paid generously, but negligent work… I had to punish them severely.

“…Presence?”

At that time, I felt the presence of a person in the garden.

Looking at the fact that I’ve only just noticed the presence, it seems like I’m either a very strong person or a child with low mana…

It is unlikely that he will be a great player. If you were a skilled person, you had to be at least Solomon, Prime Minister, or Supreme Court Judge to avoid my presence detection even for a moment.

Then it’s very likely that it’s a child…

“…Is anyone there?”

I flinch…

I could feel the presence flinching.

‘…Who really is..?’

There was not a single child working in the palace. It was me, Solomon, and the Prime Minister who hired the servants themselves, so this part is certain.

Then it’s very likely that he’s the son of a high-ranking aristocrat who can freely enter the palace…

“Come out immediately. We all know that they are hiding there.”

“Hee… Hee…”

At that moment, a young girl who appeared to be between the ages of 3 and 5 appeared from behind a rose bush.

Black hair, blood-red eyes, and even an appearance that looks like a great beauty when she grows up.

There was only one aristocratic family with these characteristics in the kingdom.

“…Are you the chancellor’s child?”

“Yes…Yes…!”

“Hmm…”

Anyway, this child seems to be the 4-year-old daughter of the chancellor whom I talked about getting engaged to. Because of the story of her engagement, she seems to have followed the chancellor into the palace.

“But where is the chancellor going and is she alone here?”

“Ah…Father is talking with the Chief Chamberlain… So I was bored and wandered around and found the garden… I’m sorry…”

“No, there is nothing to be sorry about. The garden is a place open to anyone.”

“What is it?”

Apparently, since she is a 4-year-old child, her pronunciation is a bit clumsy.

It’s kind of cute.

“But since it’s slowly losing, I think it’s better to go back to the chancellor.”

“That…But…Actually…I lost my way…”

“The way…? Did you forget the way you came?”

“Yes, yes… I don’t know where my father’s office is, so I can’t go back…”

…Wait. Why are you crying all of a sudden?

“Huh… My father is gone… I can’t go anymore…? Heh…”

“No… I can’t go back.. It’s okay. It’s okay, so stop crying..”

In all the years I have lived, I have never soothed a crying woman. Besides, isn’t this kid just 4 years old?

“Hueeeng…”

“Ooh…Don’t cry…I’ll take you there myself.”

“Huh..Ji..Jjjah..?”

“Okay, so stop crying now.”

“Huh…Nah…”

When I handed her a handkerchief with colorful embroidery in her arms, the girl whimpered, wiping her tears with the handkerchief.

Fortunately, though, she didn’t seem to shed any more tears.

“You finally stopped crying.”

“Sin…Sinful…”

“Why are you apologizing with that much? Now, hold my hand. I will take you to the chancellor’s office.”

“Yes…Yes…”

The girl timidly held my large hand with her little fern-like hand.

I asked her, smiling at her like that.

“But what’s your name? I’ve only heard that she is my chancellor’s daughter, but I’ve never heard her real name.”

“Me…Me…?”

To my question, the girl timidly answered with beautiful ruby red eyes.

“My name is…Veronica…Veronica Bloodia.”
