Evil-like Duke Household

Chapter 3: Prime Minister-dono is Mach

I am the current prime minister of this country.

The king of this country which I serve, restrain foreign country with country military might, sometime won war,and so its a country which get supported by citizens due to the military.

However, there was one major flaw; the king was *ahem* very poor at resource management, finance, and politics.

Therefore, I, as the Prime Minister, and Grid Ractos-san, had to cover for his weaknesses.

I managed the politics while Grid-san managed the resources and finance.

As I was managing the politics, since the king also learned a little bit about it, its not all that bad, but it was different from resource department.

Frankly speaking, it wouldnt have been an exaggeration to say that Grid-san manages all the resources of this country by himself.

It truly could not be counted as an exaggeration.

Even now, Grid-san was processing a staggering amounts of paperwork that would have been enough to make anyone feel a heart attack by looking at it.

His hands whisked away with signatures after signatures in terifying speed.

while happily hums to himself

.. Even so.

(humming happily with that kind of face, is have its own horror eh.)

Grid-san who always dealt with the paperwork in a happy fashion was followed by an endless amount of negative rumours.

As if,  [The man who looks like The Devil]. [Corrupt Administrator] or such

The main cause of this was his face, which look like that of an evil overlords or a tyrants at a glance.

Most of the higher-ups of the country, like myself or the king, understood that these were just baseless rumours, but commoners and lower nobles all took these rumours to be the truth.

If this was the limit, it would have been all right.

Actually, no, it would not have been fine. But its still better.

The problem is Administer-dono is a very sensitive man. I am not kidding.

Just  last month, when he collided with a woman in the city, she wailed and prayed for forgiveness and her life to be spared. After the situation was defused, Grid-san refused to touch any documents for two days.

That day felt like hell..

[Imperial Minister-dono]

The administrator called out to me who is still in the middle of deep thought.

I thought he was still battling that mountain of documents, but it seems that he had already finished.

Hes definitely a monster, just not the way the rumors portray him to be.

[Then, I will go to the city to grab a snack.]

..Take care.

After a seemingly inexhaustible hour, the spy rushed in with a report. Furthermore, he seemed really flustered.

..I had a sense of foreboding at that moment.

[P-Prime minister-dono! Administrator-dono . by the guard ! !]

I, while running at my maximum speed, breaking through the limits of my aged body.

[..Since it seems that I need to hear the detail of the circumstances, I need to have you follow me, Administrator-dono]

I dashed to the city, and becoming one with the wind, all to hear what the guard has just spoken.

[W-Wait! Wait for a moment the guard over there!!]

I hurriedly interrupted them and begun to talk to the guard.

Crime syndicate? What are you talking about, you?! Do you intend to made our financial affairs bankrupt by some kind of weird rumor!? Hah!

Like I said, Ill be the one to do something about Administrator-dono.

Slave trade?! I never received such information from the spy, you know!

Just quickly, go! Move on and do whatever you are supposed to be doing! P-Patrol or something!

After I successfully managed to release the administrator from the guard, I quickly go toward the administrator-dono to made a follow up.

Just as I looked over; ah. Seems like Administrator-dono received quite the shock.

[Prime minister-dono. I think Im going to take the day off tomorrow..]

I heard nothing more after that, for I had immediately fainted upon hearing those words.
