"Eh? The new Prime Minister is actually a woman?"

Looking at the newspaper in her hand, Mine couldn't help but exclaim.

Of course, she wasn't the only one surprised; others around her holding newspapers had similar expressions.

Even before Leone and the other three who had infiltrated the Imperial Capital could start their investigation, news about the new Prime Minister Mellie was already spreading everywhere.

Now, even the newspapers published by the Empire featured her image.

"So... so beautiful!"

The one making this infatuated remark was none other than Lubbock. Staring at the picture of Mellie printed on the newspaper, his eyes seemed to turn into heart shapes.

Ignoring Lubbock, who was acting lovestruck, Leone and the other two began discussing the information they had gathered.

"Apparently, the new Prime Minister Mellie has gained the young Emperor's deep trust. Even though she has no experience in governance, she was still appointed as the new Prime Minister."

"I've learned from my sources that this new Prime Minister is currently reorganizing the central officials. Many incompetent officials have been dismissed, and many capable people have been promoted."

"As a result, the bureaucratic atmosphere in the Imperial Capital has improved significantly, and the efficiency of handling official duties has greatly increased. This has made her reputation in the capital soar."

After exchanging information, Leone and the others began to form a clearer image of Mellie in their minds.

"That's not all," Lubbock said seriously. "Given her bold actions in the bureaucracy, she should logically have angered the interests of many officials and nobles, yet there's not a whisper against her. That's very unusual."

"You have to know, since she took office, the number of officials and nobles imprisoned because of her isn't small. Even if others don't speak up, wouldn't the families of these people say something?"

Hearing Lubbock's words, Leone and the others immediately became serious.

Obviously, they understood Lubbock's point and realized the peculiarity surrounding Mellie.

"I heard that the new Prime Minister is a Teigu user with invisibility abilities. She was able to break through the palace defenses and take the Emperor out of the palace."

"That's how she gained the Emperor's trust."

Placing the newspaper back on the table, Lubbock concluded, "Clearly, the current Prime Minister Mellie might be an extremely dangerous individual. We'd better be cautious and avoid direct contact with her."

"Yes, I understand," Leone nodded.

"After this, we'll wait for the boss's orders."

In the palace study.

Leisurely lying to one side, watching Mellie who was reviewing official documents, Mika asked Airmid, "How is the establishment of the secret force 'Night Raven' coming along?"

"According to your request, General Budo provided five hundred elite soldiers and officers. I've tested them; each one is a skilled elite with Level 2 strength."
