Chapter 113 - Not Bad For A Dropout Girl , Right ?!
" I wonder what did she wrote in those files which made them froze like that ?! " said Helios while laughing when looking at the ministers .
At the meeting hall, the atmosphere was the same as a bomb that was ready to explode . Bekora opened his eyes wide when he read the content of the file and looked towards his grandma .
" Is this for real ? " asked Bekora shocked .
" Of course it is ! I had the same reaction when I read it for the first time . " said madam Margrethe with a smirk .
" What's this nonsense ?! How can you say such lies openly and even make up such things ! Your rudeness knows no boundaries ! Guards , drive this girl out ! " said the minister of environment in an angry tone full of authority .
' I have to stop this peasant before she ruins my plan ! How in the world was she able to find out ?! I have always been very careful with these things ! Well , as long as her mouth is shut then there's nothing to worry about her . It was a good idea to check her biography and life . Now I can make sure that she won't talk and threaten her with her family , plus if the queen interferes I can convince the other ministers that a drop out of school girl's opinion is not good and bad for our standard . I also can't let down madam Karen who's helped me a lot . Once she takes the place of this old hag I will become the prime minister of the state ! Hahahahaha ! ' thought the minister of the environment with a smirk .
The guards at the door came and went towards Aria to catch her . Before they could grab her arm , madam Margrethe hit the table with the jade rectangle that was in her hand . The guards stopped the moment they heard the sound . The minister of the environment's expression became a bit nervous and worried when the queen hit the table .
" Stop right there ! " said madam Margrethe with a fierce tone .
" Just because I haven't been feeling well lately , you think that you can surpass my authority and order my guards around without my permission . " said madam Margrethe angry .
" Your Majesty ! I dare not ! I just can't stand the nonsense this girl keeps saying . She's a drop out of school student and an impolite person . I find her slander towards me very offensive Your Majesty ! I have been a minister for years and I've always been loyal to you . I don't know how she got Her Majesty to believe in her but I an assure you that her words are pure lies . Having a dropout peasant , like her step into this prestigious hall of state affairs is just like a black stain on an expensive white shirt to the royal palace . " said the minister of the environment .
The queen had asked from the ministers to be called madam in these two meetings but he disobeyed orders . The other ministers looked at him surprised .
' So...madam Margrethe is really the queen ?! Oh my god ! What have I done ?! ' thought Aria shocked that her doubt was confirmed .
She remembered the time when she got in the palace and how she personally told her that she had sneaked into the palace . Aria was so embarrassed that she wanted to open a hole and hide in there.
" You have disobeyed my orders and that means that you don't show respect towards me ! " said madam Margrethe with a serious tone .
" No , Your Majesty ! You're wrong . This now was a slip of the tongue . " said the minister of the environment when he remembered that the queen had ordered them to call her madam in these two meetings .
" This lady was personally chosen by me as my advisor ! Are you saying that my judgment isn't trustworthy ?! " asked the queen angry .
" No Your Majesty ! I just thought that she had misled you and tried to curry favor in your eyes . " said the minister of the environment .
" Just because you thought so , you dared to make decisions on your own without my consent . " said the queen .
" No , I... " said the minister of the environment but the queen stopped him immediately .
" Quiet ! I am the ruler of this country and I make the most decisions ! Your job is only to consult my decisions and give and additional opinion . In the end the final say is mine ! I have been sick lately but that doesn't mean that you can serve as a substitute for me and order my people . As for this girl's background and situation , I know it better than anyone else . " said the queen in an angry tone .
' He thinks of himself as smart , I will make sure you pay the price for trying to fool me and act as if you're the leader . ' thought the queen with an angry expression .
The minister of the environment tried to speak again but the queen stopped him .
" Miss Aria , please feel free to speak whatever comes to your mind ! " said the queen and looked at Aria with a smile .
Aria was very confused and shocked but then came to her senses when madam Margrethe called her name .
" Yes , mada.....I mean Your Majesty ! " said Aria and took the file .
When Aria looked at the minister of the environment she showed a devilish smirk that clearly meant that she wouldn't spare him at all .
" As you can see ministers , the file that I have handed to each one of you contains the information about the work the minister of the environment has done . He has transferred the data of the budgets and converting them into expenses for the buildings that need reparation but in reality, that money is in one of his bank accounts in Canada . " said Aria and all the ministers looked towards him with a surprised and annoyed face .
They read the accounts Aria had prepared had every detail written in them .
" I have specifically prepared every information that I could find . I hope that you can read it and make a fair judgment based on that . This matter must have tired you a lot . I wouldn't like to tire you more with useless words and finish this quickly so that's why I prepared a detailed report which contains every answer to the questions that you may have . " said Aria and all of them , including Bekora and queen Margrethe started to read the file .
" I doubt that this detailed information is falsified . As the minister of finance, I can tell this with one look . " said the minister of finance .
" These bank accounts are also verified correctly . As the minister of foreign affairs I recognize their signatures and accounts formats . " said the minister of foreign affairs .
" There's also a person involved in this case . " said Aria and everyone had already read it .
" The person who is cooperating with him will be registered on the blacklist of the special forces . As the minister of immigration , I assure you that we will catch him for sure . " said the minister of immigration .
" What a disgrace to the state to have such a thief as a minister ! " said the minister of health .
Everyone nodded their head in sign of agreement and looked towards him . The minister of the environment didn't understand how she was able to lear such well-hidden secrets within a week . This made him look at her with worry in his eyes . Aria looked at his worried expression and went in front of him .
" Your presence here is polluting the area . Please get up from the seat that's not meant for you ! I may be a dropout student but I still ended up revealing your secrets . I don't know if this can be considered being smart in your eyes ! I can't understand people's opinions unless they speak , I am just a dumb girl after all , right ?! " said Aria with a sarcastic tone which made the minister of the environment filled with anger . A slight smile showed in all of the minister's face .
" Guards ! Put the chains to this ungrateful person . " said queen Margrethe .
The guards grabbed him with force and got him up from the chair of the minister of the environment .
" A person like you is really a disgrace to this place ! Your greediness knows no boundaries ! Instead of enjoying the prestige and wealth your post gives you , you try to abuse with it . I have read the reports of the result that this problem caused . Tourism wasn't able to produce the same amount of money as in the other years , the economy fell and the people who lost their jobs ended up as beggars on the street . I cannot stand such an injustice towards innocent people just for personal greed . I am a simple person and yet I can think so far , while you , a minister , don't even give it a thought let alone concern yourself with their problem . Being part in the team of the head of the state is a great responsibility and you don't have the ability to bear with it . " said Aria and the minister of education remained impressed when hearing her words . Not only she but everyone in the hall felt the same .
" As for the problem with the budget now , the money in the bank accounts of the minister of the environment is enough to cover all of the expenses of the man labor and materials needed . Also , there's money enough to buy an apology gift for all the ministers and Her Majesty since they were stressed out just because of the silly greediness of this person . " said Aria with a smile .
The minister of the environment wanted to speak again but the queen interrupted him .
" So how does my choice look now in your eyes ex-minister of the environment ?! Not bad for a dropout girl , right ?! " asked the queen with a smirk which was clearly mocking him .
" Your Majesty's wise as always ! " said the minister of the environment who was now fired .
Before the guards could bring him away , Aria spoke .
" Please do wait a minute ! I have a surprise for the dear ex-minister of the environment . " said Aria with a devilish smirk and everyone looked towards her with curiosity .
