Episode 143. fall from power
“Why is it so noisy outside?”
“I’ll check.”
“If there is a disturbance, please let me know where the lead department is.”
“Yeah yeah. All right. Mr. Paal.”
Mariv’s aide urged the attendant. It’s an important meeting, but the noise can be heard through the door. He noticed the gaze of Marib, who was sitting on a high platform, and bowed his head. Since this was a meeting where the fall of the Ministry of Magic was expected, there should never be any problems.
“Be quiet. From now on, we will begin the personnel conference for the 1,101st year of the imperial calendar. Everyone, please stand up and swear an oath of faithfulness to His Majesty.”
Cheoeok.
Everyone who was sitting during the award ceremony stood up and placed their hands on their hearts. The same goes for Mariv and Gale, who are sitting closest to the Emperor. The emperor sitting at the highest point just looks down with dignity.
“I swear in good faith that the purpose of the personnel meeting is to appoint the right talent who will contribute to the proper development of the great empire of Bariel.”
“I swear.”
“I swear.”
It’s not even funny. They look for people who are just and fair in words, but aren’t they full of different selfish desires in their hearts? Those with voting rights spoke first, and then those with only voting rights took the oath.
“Then let’s begin. First, the legislature. Cartesian, the current Minister of the Legislative Assembly, please come forward.”
The current Minister needed to actively assert what he had done for Bariel over the past year and what results he had achieved. He may have done it for a second term, but it was also for his honor as a rust-eater.
“Next, I will name the five candidates for the position of Minister of the Legislative Assembly. Please stand up in order and introduce yourself, in Bariel spelling order.”
The nominee has already laid the foundation through behind-the-scenes work before the meeting. Other candidates are a kind of bridesmaid, building careers for the future. Mariv was watching the meeting proceed with a solemn expression.
“Lowering.”
It was then. Aide Paal, who returned behind the podium, called him. Marib only tilted her head to the side, keeping her gaze fixed on him.
“They say there are wizards setting up a magic defense position outside.”
“Defense? “Aren’t all the leaders in the meeting?”
“A mysterious smoke originating from the north is coming this way. “Outside, those who wanted to stop the meeting and those who wanted to continue it clashed.”
Mariv frowned. I don’t know how things are going. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister announced that it was the Ministry of Magic’s turn.
“Next is the Ministry of Magic. Minister Wesley was absent, but since there was no registered next candidate, he could not be reappointed… … .”
“I have an objection.”
It was Gayle who cut off the Prime Minister’s words. He raised his hand and stood up as if he had been waiting for this moment. At that moment, the sound of his words quickly passed through the conference room.
“No way, right?”
“Really? “Gail and Minister Wesley?”
“Shh, be quiet.”
The moment when you see with your own eyes what you had only heard about. Everyone in the venue paid attention to Gale. It was the same for the emperor.
‘Lowering. What if the minister falls from office and an opportunity arises for me?’
Mariv recalled what Ian said that night. He was honestly skeptical and thought that his true intentions were hidden. But is there any better news for Marib than Wesley’s true fall?
“I oppose Minister Wesley’s reappointment.”
“Uh-huh! oh my god!”
“Your Majesty Gale, what do you mean by that?”
“Lowering! This is Minister of Magic Wesley! “That Wesley!”
“Look, please stop the meeting for a moment.”
“That can’t be possible. “It’s a statement that shouldn’t be problematic.”
“Everyone be quiet!”
Quang!
When the Prime Minister hit the baton, the commotion suddenly stopped. In this situation, if you are sent off, there is no such thing as a big loss. Gail slowly looked at her older brother, Marib.
‘Is this what you wanted, Marib?’
Doesn’t it seem like he’s saying that? Mariv let out an exclamation with a flushed expression. As Ian said, it was clear that something had happened between the two. I cut it out before it became more toxic, because that was the only way to explain Gale’s attitude.
“Your Majesty Gail, please continue speaking.”
“It’s been quite a while since Minister Wesley was appointed to the Ministry of Magic. “The minister is capable, but he is not showing any will to improve by ignoring the problems that continue to arise.”
Overbudgeting. Unclear business process. Personal personnel processing. Extensive monthly rights, etc. Every time Gail pointed out one thing, people’s expressions were filled with astonishment. It’s as if we have no idea why Gail is acting like that.
Aren’t you the beneficiary of all those evils?
“So, I think it would be beneficial to the Ministry of Magic to oppose Minister Wesley’s reappointment and appoint a new minister. “What do those with voting rights think?”
At Gail’s question, everyone murmured and the commotion grew again.
“If Wesley is removed from office, what will be the aftereffects? “Would the witch stay still?”
“Yeah, considering what we didn’t know, I’m sure Wesley didn’t know either.”
“Hey, don’t you have eyes for that? “Don’t you know what it means that Secretary Wesley didn’t come to the meeting?”
“His Majesty Gale has already taken care of it?”
“Oh my god, how on earth can this happen…” … .”
“The next Minister of Magic must have someone watching.”
“It seems that His Majesty Gale wants to have the Ministry of Magic under his direct control. Uh-huh, I really want it.”
Confusion was rampant in the Gale forces, specifically the forces leaning on the Ministry of Magic. It is true that he served Gayle, but the connection to him was clearly Wesley.
“older brother. “Please say something.”
Gail smiled and spoke to Mariv. Because nearly half of the people here were part of the 1st Prince’s forces. His attitude was that since he had ignited the spark, he should take care of it himself.
Sigh.
“Your Majesty Mariv, please speak.”
When Mariv raised her hand with a strange expression, everyone in the hall fell silent again. He focused on looking at Gayle rather than the audience.
“… “I also agree with Wesley’s fall.”
At the same time, shouts of approval erupted in an instant. Mariv’s followers heard the first prince’s intentions and gave their support.
“I agree! “I agree too!”
“you’re right. The Ministry of Magic must also slowly seek change.”
“I agree! “I absolutely agree!”
“No objection!”

“Since the minister was not present, there is no need to hear any objections! Let’s move on! “The next ministerial candidate can be accepted again!”
Only the pro-Wesleyan faction, including the Ministry of Magic, remained silent in response to the chairman’s storm. Not only because he had no right to speak, but also because if the situation was going this way, it would have been wise to put Wesley on the line. If she had been here, she would have taken action… .
“Uh huh, this is… … .”
“Now, what are you saying now? “Minister Wesley is out of office?”
“This can’t be happening!”
“Shut up! “The captains of the Ministry of Magic have no say!”
“Nonsense! no! “Something is wrong with this!”
When the leader of the Magical Support Department was particularly upset and screaming, security took him away. The conference hall suddenly became chaos. The Prime Minister repeatedly struck the baton to settle the situation, but those who were already excited did not lower their voices easily.
Hale was also just calmly wiping his beard out of shock.
Quang!
It was then.
A huge roar and vibrations were felt outside. The guards moved quickly, and the Prime Minister struck his baton again and ordered silence.
“Your name is Gale.”
Gale noticed that the aide’s voice was shaking. I frowned for a moment. Immediately, he bit his lip tightly and glared at the aide with a murderous gaze.
“How on earth did you handle things?”
“So, I’m sorry. They apparently even disposed of Wesley’s aide, but as soon as they sent the body out of the palace, it turned into pieces of wood.”
“So what about Wesley?”
“With the help of my aide, I seem to have been freed from my shackles.”
“You, you better be prepared when the work is done.”
“… “Yes, sir.”
This is why wizards! When Gail clicked her tongue and stood up, the Prime Minister gave her a puzzled look.
“Keep the meeting going. My brother will take care of my shortcomings. “Brother, I will clean up the outside.”
Anyway, the biggest agenda item at this meeting has just come out. If the commotion outside her was Wesley’s doing, she had to go out and punish her herself. Before any useless words came out of her pierced mouth. Gale turned his back on Mariv, preventing her from leaving.
“Your Majesty Mariv, what should we do?”
The Prime Minister asked Marib’s intentions in a hushed voice. Even though the emperor was standing behind him, the fact that he was asking questions rather than the emperor was proof of who was in power in the palace. Mariv looked at Gale’s empty seat and nodded at him.
“Go ahead.”
“yes. Lowering.”
Even if he didn’t go out anyway, there were many eyes and ears. This will be reported later. For now, the priority was to finish the case of Wesley’s overthrow.
‘It’s almost like I’m on the same page with Gale for the first time.’
Although they were hiding different intentions, Marib thought that this would be Gale’s defeat anyway. This is because Wesley lost an important force, and as a result, Marib discovered that he had a major weakness.
“Quiet! “We will continue the meeting!”
Bang, pound, pound!
Even if heaven and earth change, even if buildings collapse, the meeting will continue. The tenacity of those who were on the verge of taking power into their hands heated up everywhere.
Quang!
There was another roar, but this time no one paid attention. Just desperately ignore it. What they needed to focus on was inside the conference room.
* * *
Crack, crackle!
Gale ran into the lobby escorted by aides and guards. He unconsciously tied his belt, but felt empty. The aide, who noticed his hand, hurriedly gave instructions to the attendant.
“Bring the sword you left with me when you entered the meeting!”
“all right.”
“Take your bow too. An arrow with a magic sealing stone on it.”
As Gale added, the servant turned around in a huff and ran away. By the end of the hallway, they were able to get a clear view of the lobby… … .
Ji-ing! Jiing!
“shit! Magic circle! “It’s not powerful enough!”
“Ugh! “I’m at my limit!”
“Wake! Wesley! Please stop!”
“Someone give me some magic!”
“Wesley! “You can’t come in just like that?”
An opaque golden wall with a magic circle drawn on it. It was a defensive line created by wizards. They were all pressing their palms against the wall and squeezing with all their might.
Dozens of wizards fighting against just one person.
“please! “What on earth have you done?!”
Wesley. It’s her.
My body is burning. It’s like a fire is boiling inside. I could feel the heat coming from my skin along with the black smoke up to here.
“What is everyone doing?”
“Oh, my name is Gale.”
“Your name is Gale!”
Everyone turned around with joy at Gale’s appearance. He doesn’t know what’s going on inside, so he doesn’t know what to do with Wesley. However, Ian was able to understand the situation just because Gail was away.
“Sir, that’s Wesley’s condition… … .”
“This is the conference hall. Inside, all of Bariel’s high-ranking officials, including His Majesty, are gathered. But you’re trying to do something like that. “This is a threat to safety and is a serious crime.”
“… Lowering?”
You’re talking about Wesley’s lover, Gayle, right? Everyone looked at him in confusion, but Gale gave orders without any hesitation.
“Kill that thing.”
