"Nipping The Bud"

When Duke Fez mentioned the prime minister, all other ministers and officials instantly looked at the middle-aged man.

Don't tell them the prime minister actually committed evil deeds too?

Before the prime minister could refute or speak, Duke Fez already mentioned all the things that the prime minister did, which actually broke the law.

However, unlike other ministers and officials, the prime minister had always been careful, and it wasn't easy to get all the evidence.

Thus, the one's Duke Fez got were all only light criminal activities that didn't deserve a death sentence or demotion.

At most, the prime minister would have to abstain from working for the royal family for a few months and couldn't participate in big projects.

But that's it.

Still, for the prime minister, not being allowed to do his job and using his privilege as the prime minister was a heavy blow.

He had the most pride in his status and privilege as the prime minister, and he's also proud that he's a 'wise' prime minister.

Once he couldn't go to work for several months, who knew if someone else would quietly replace his position as the prime minister??

The prime minister's face changed, and he hurriedly wanted to refute all the evidence, but Duke Fez beat him to it.

"There's no use to claim that the evidence is fake or something like that. The evidence has been checked by a lot of staff, and they're not fake."

The staff that Duke Fez used were all loyal people who had worked for the kingdom for almost all their lives.

These people once had a high position when Isabella's father was the king.

But after the king passed away, the prime minister demoted them one by one.

The prime minister was good at framing others and misleading the masses, so it was easy to kick these loyal people who didn't have a good scheming skill.

Now, Duke Fez used his authority as the queen's legal guardian to promote the old staff and make a new department.

The new department was made to supervise the officials and ministers of the cabinet, acting as the police for these officials.

When the prime minister heard of the news right from Duke Fez' mouth, he couldn't refute or rebel at all.

Those old people still had some prestige in the royal cabinet as long as their position was high enough!

The prime minister and his faction had quite a lot of power, but it was still on par with the neutral faction or the royal family's loyal faction.

Now that Duke Fez was added to the royal family's loyal faction...the prime minister was in a pinch.

"This…" the middle-aged man broke in a cold sweat.

A lot of his people in his faction were mentioned in the list of corrupt ministers and officials.

Almost all of them did things that were so evil they could be executed anytime.

Even the prime minister couldn't help his people!

Mariella looked at the prime minister's panicked face and quietly snorted.

'I didn't think it would be so easy to clean up the cabinet. In the original novel, Lizeth takes such a long time to fight the prime minister and his faction….'

Even with Duke Fez's help.

Maybe because in the later episode, the prime minister already cleaned up the traces of his faction's evid deeds more thoroughly.

And Duke Fez didn't investigate fast enough to catch these officials red-handed.

That's why the novel was pulled out to be 1 million words long…

But Mariella nipped the bud before it could bloom. It was actually quite easy to face the prime minister and his faction in the early stage!

After all, the prime minister's faction was still growing, and it wasn't as powerful as when Lizeth became the new queen in the original novel.

Isabella's death in the original novel was a wake-up call for the prime minister.

Afraid of others knowing the truth, he immediately concealed all his movements, blaming the dead Isabella.

Mariella hummed coldly and looked at the corrupt ministers and officials that had to receive a death sentence.

"This queen doesn't understand anything, but dad– Duke Fez said we should handle the bullies according to the law."

Mariella whistled arrogantly as she looked at Duke Fez with a crafty smile.

"Duke Fez, what is the fitting punishment for these corrupt ministers and officials?"

Duke Fez didn't hesitate to spat two cold words.

"Death sentence."

The corrupt officials and ministers instantly went crazy.

"Your majesty, you can't be like this! W-we didn't do any of that! We only did things that you asked us to do!"

The corrupt people tried to shift the blame to Isabella, but Mariella tilted her head and asked innocently.

"Since when I know things related to tax? And religion? And slavery? And disaster? Or the common people?"

Mariella rubbed her chin and blinked her eyes, acting innocent.

"I am always playing at the castle or playing outside. I don't know anything about what you guys did, so how could I ask you guys to do that?"

She's just a useless queen with a bad temper, right? Then why should she know about all those weird regulations and evil deeds?

"Are you guys trying to lie to me? Or to frame me? Do you guys want to bully this queen?" Mariella squinted her eyes and slowly touched her throat.

"Do you want to die? This queen doesn't mind seeing more blood early in the morning!"

Isabella's tyrant nature came out so easily like that, instantly freezing a lot of ministers and officials.

For a kid to say things like killing others so easily...she is indeed a tyrant!

She's indeed a tyrant...yet she wasn't a scheming type of tyrant.

She's more of...the ignorant type?
