......

Sitting atop the throne, Mika looked down at the silent officials and couldn't help but shake his head internally.

Although it was precisely because of their silence that Mika was able to smoothly promote Mellie to the position of Prime Minister, their current behavior left him thoroughly disappointed.

"As expected, the Empire's demise is inevitable. If the central government is like this, what can be said of the local regions?"

"This country has completely decayed."

Seeing that no one else had anything to say, Mika stood up and said, "Since none of you have anything further, let's conclude."

He then turned and walked toward the back, with Mellie following closely behind.

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

...

"I had quite some interest initially, but I didn't expect the Empire's upper echelons to be so thoroughly rotten."

Sitting back on the bed, Mika shook his head and said to Mellie, "What do you plan to do with Honest's faction?"

"Nothing much. First, I'll see how capable they are," Mellie replied with a smile, lounging comfortably to one side. "Those who are competent can stay for now; we can gradually replace them later to avoid chaos in the central government."

"If someone is particularly skilled, perhaps we can give them a chance to repent, as long as they're willing to change and not repeat their mistakes."

"As for those who are useless, we'll swiftly remove them and promote capable people in their place."

Hearing Mellie's words, Mika nodded slightly.

"Although I want to remind you that even the best plans can encounter problems."

"But when I think of your illusion magic, I have nothing more to say."

For those like Mellie, who possess illusion magic, others would be wise not to harbor any deceitful thoughts; otherwise, they might meet a tragic end.

"Your Majesty, General Budo requests an audience."

Just as Mika and Mellie were discussing her future plans, a servant's voice came from outside.

"Please, let him in!"

Mika said immediately.

As one of the Empire's strongest, General Budo, whom Mika had seen personally, was estimated to have combat power close to Level 6.

Of course, having Level 6 combat power doesn't mean he's stronger than Finn and others from Orario.

High-level adventurers in Orario often possess strength that surpasses their level.

"Your Majesty!"

Entering the chamber swiftly, Budo knelt on one knee to pay his respects.

"Is there something you need, General Budo?"

"I have an important matter to report. I earnestly request permission to replace all the attendants around Your Majesty."

Upon hearing Budo's words, Mika immediately understood.

In short, this was Mika's fault.

After all, he had previously mentioned that Mellie had taken him out of the palace, which clearly indicated a major dereliction of duty by the attendants.
