440 Back Here To Do The Walk

(MC POV)

"So… What are your thoughts on this?"

My shirt ruffled slightly, "If I am permitted to speak freely… I think Queen Guiying's suggestion is the best course of action."

"Ugh… I don't actually want to be an Emperor though… Can Guiying just be the Empress?"

"I believe she wishes to make use of your reputation to secure the new territory's stability… But… I'm not very well versed in politics myself, Master, so I could be mistaken in what she wants."

Hmm… Queen Guiying really is talented as a ruler, already thinking so far ahead even though she has been regent for less than a year.

If you ask me, I don't have the talent for such a thing. Using others to further my own gains, I mean.

Not saying that it's a bad thing, mind you, a leader should always know how to utilise the skills of the people under them. Guiying's doing a pretty good job on that front.
