(EP.2) Flower Aira #2
002 – Ira the Flower of Evil #2
Shortly after a commotion broke out over the finance minister Belmott and his daughter Clara.
Queen Aira escaped from the court and went to her residence, said languidly.
“Tae-oh, cancel all the rest of today’s schedule. I’m tired of taking care of the government for the people.”
Ira has been giving orders to me with comfortable vocabulary, not with a hard court tone.
Does anyone else know that she, a tyrant, speaks and listens like a normal girl?
“Because I am so tired. I have to go to bed early today I think it’s because I’ve been working so hard these days.”
Tired, I did all the important stuff-, damn it.
Even if it’s unfair, I don’t dare say such a thing, and I just smile softly.
“You are also a queen. The wise and wise Queen will watch over Angmar, and the people will be at peace with no worries.”
“okay. Thanks to you too, Tae-oh. The reign I create, half of it all, belongs to you and is thanks to you. It’s okay to be proud.”
“It’s overrated.”
It’s okay to be proud, but not at all. What Aira creates is not reign or peace, but discord and chaos.
Even now, if you leave this beautiful palace street right now, the streets are overrun with poor people, gangs of rebellious thieves run rampant, and outside the fortress walls, aliens and monsters are in a troublesome situation.
Half of that father-in-law is my fault.
How could I be proud of that, I’m not some sort of sociopath.
If I had to give one excuse, I did my best to prevent a catastrophe in my own way.
This is the reason why I desperately stopped Belmott’s execution before.
In her own way, she used her position as the queen’s closest aide to open up a project to relieve the poor and did good deeds, but no one believed and no one would accept it.
– What? just a favor? Do not lie. Yo Seung-ah, my, what burden are you trying to put on me? I’d rather die than die, I won’t hold hands with you!
-Please, take your goodwill away from me-. If it is rumored that I am entangled with you, I will be driven into the streets and stoned to death-!
The first impression, the image, is so frightening.
Already Na Tae-oh was branded as a fox-like image trying to destroy the country with the foolish tyrant queen in front.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No matter what I do, it won’t change.
-Look over there, Tae-oh is passing by.
-Shh, don’t make eye contact. You might get executed.
-Who’s behind me? Are you Clara? Poor Clara.
look. Even now, even the maids who work in the palace are looking at me with fear.
To be honest, I have never executed anyone before.
-I tried to incest the Minister of Finance and Clara in front of people.
-Tae-oh, this vicious bastard-.
… … .
But my radical methods seem to have been perfect for misunderstanding and rumors.
Anyway, as the noise of the gossiping maids grew louder and louder, Queen Aira smashed the floor with the king’s scepter she was holding in her hand.
Surprised by the sudden shock, the maids stop talking and run away on their way.
Looking at them, Aira said.
“Tae. I’ll make your gossiping maids naked tomorrow for a march of atonement.”
It’s a march of atonement.
It is very harsh. Even more so for the court maids, who are young girls.
The March of Atonement is a punishment that makes you go back to the court by taking off all your clothes and going around the streets outside the court.
The harassment and psychological shock they would experience in the process was not strange even if they became a nuisance.
In fact, Ira punished one of the maids who tried to poison me that way. I don’t really want to explain how the punished handmaiden is living now.
Recalling that scene, I shook my head.
“There is no need to punish the maids. It is undeserved for Aira-sama to respond individually to the words and deeds of fools.”
“That’s right. A gentleman should not be shaken by a small wind. But, Tae-. I can’t stand words that insult you. Everyone, you don’t know how hard you are.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, you don’t know who I’m suffering for.
I grinned.
“It’s okay if you pour out evil words towards me. It must be that I am envious of Ira-sama’s favor and envy.”
“I see. Indeed, Tae. He’s a smart guy.”
“It’s overrated.”
“Ah, and my stupid words and deeds reminded me of that. All the dirty bastards these days say you’re a bad guy. I have to stay away from you.”
“Is that so?”
“But, of course, I don’t even listen to these stinky bastards. You are the wisest and wisest man next to me. If I am the queen, then that is what it is.”
“Then, are you going to tell me that the maids never went on the march of atonement?”
“okay. I don’t like it though. okay.”
Ira nodded with satisfaction.
I’ve saved several lives.
Of course they don’t know.
The fact that I, who they curse so much, is putting a respirator on their lives and the lifespan of the kingdom that is being shattered.
The fact that when Aira is executed and the order in the kingdom is disrupted, real chaos crosses the walls and destroys all but a few important characters.
Extras, small citizens, and maids like that, without even mentioning their names, were sure to fall into hell.
The maids do not know this.
I’d rather not know anything.
* * *
“Then, my esteemed Majesty the Queen. I have business to do, so I’ll just leave work.”
I said good-bye to her in front of Aira’s place.
Ira can now go to her room and read her favorite book or go to sleep.
As I, who is in charge of most government affairs, which she is giving up on, I have a lot to worry about, so I have to work overtime.
Knowing my hard work, Queen Aira said a word in a languid voice as she entered her bedroom.
“Tae-oh, you’ve been busy lately. However, since the buds of the rebellion led by the Minister of Finance have been cut in advance, you will be able to rest for a while.”
“that-.”
That’s right.
Instead of finance, Belmott probably entered the court today, prepared for his own death. Rather, it must have been his plan to die.
If he died, loved by the people and nobles alike, people would rise up and swept everything in a wave of rebellion like the pus he was suffering from.
the brink of change.
That was probably Belmott’s role. He fully understood his role. In fact, it was the same in the novel.
But he didn’t die today after all.
Rather, even ostensibly to swear allegiance to the queen.
“Whoa, ‘dawning party’. I didn’t even know that such an impure militant group was wriggling on the outskirts. The subjugation has become easier thanks to Belmott’s gentle blows.”
“It is all thanks to the wisdom of Her Majesty the Queen. You have cleared the band of robbers who are trying to usurp the throne, so the people will be able to sleep in peace.”
I said so and shook my head.
The Dawnings from here are the rebels.
Basically, these guys are being subjugated in the middle of the novel, which caused great damage to the kingdom and the queen’s system.
Due to the variable that Belmot survived, the Dawning Society could not even appear and was subjugated.
I felt a chill there.
About the Dawning Society being subjugated-.
Actually I haven’t done anything.
I have nothing to say to Queen Aira.
As for the Dawning, only Queen Aira found out by interrogating Belmort herself.
To be honest, Ira is a tyrant, a cancer soldier.
But it wasn’t terribly incompetent.
So, sometimes, when she was like this, my body would shrink without realizing it.
Because there was no guarantee that she, who doubted and did not trust everything, would not turn her palms over to ask for Tae Oh.
“Oh, and Tae-oh.”
“Yes, Her Majesty.”
what. Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Did you find out what I was swearing on the inside?
“Tonight, I will give you a prize for your work, so come and get some water.”
“… … .”
“The answer is… ?”
“all right.”
It’s an award… ?
Damn it, that would be torture. He must have been caught swearing inside too.
“Well then, I’ll see you later.”
I bowed my head slightly and stepped back. Next to me there is a girl with her mouth tied with a gag and her body wrapped around her with a thick cord.
she is Clara
Belmott’s daughter, Minister of Finance.
Insurance to keep Belmott from betraying us.
I took her hostage and made her a maid in this palace. Is it possible to say that a safety device is installed to prevent Belmot from having other thoughts?
All of the maids in this palace are in a similar situation to Clara, and they are in the role of monitoring each other, so they will never have any other feelings.
It’s nice to watch each other and make them point fingers.
“Come on, Clara. Let’s go now.”
“huh-.”
She is like a prisoner of war, but her spirit is alive as a young girl of a high-ranking aristocrat. Her eyes looking at me were very sharp.
I led her to the room where the maids were staying.
ㅡ Fool, do you think it tastes good when you pour it like this?
ㅡIf you eat it, it will become soggy-!
– Hey, hey-! That guy is coming-!
The maids, who had been chatting for a long time there, were startled and pretended to work individually as soon as I appeared.
It’s your salary tax.
I wanted to say a word, but I had to do something busier than that, so I handed Clara tied up and told them.
“Here, this is Clara, who will be the maid from today. Please tell me step by step, starting with the worst day.”
The reaction is cool.
In the eyes of the maids looking at Clara, there is a feeling of pity, “Unfortunately, you fell too.”
“Clara, all the people here are noble ladies just like you. Don’t fight, let’s work together. Now, Miss Clara, would you like to say hello to your new colleagues?”
slurp. When the gag tied around her mouth was released, Clara exclaimed as if she had been waiting.
“Tae-oh, I can’t forgive you. I will curse you to the end. Angmar’s corruption-. Evil co-worker-!”
Do you mean thank you for saving your father and your own life? I smiled brightly and replied thank you.
“you’re welcome.”
In the past, these criticisms would have hurt my heart, but now that I’m okay with it, I guess I’m a little tougher too.
However, this Clara was also not a sissy.
“Do you think your power will last forever? One day, one day you will have to bear your karma-! Queen Aira’s power will end soon-! You really don’t know-!”
ㅤ-.
And spit in my face
I’ve been spit on three times this week alone. It didn’t matter because it happened often, but-.
that you don’t know anything more about me
Even I was angry at those words.
So I put my hands up after a long time.
match-.
“Hey-!”

Clara, who was sitting still, I grabbed her by the neck and raised her up.
“You know nothing? Do you have the right to say that to me? Aristocratic b*tches who lived their whole lives eating only good things and wearing only good things-.”
Who dared to shoulder the karma for me, who suddenly fell into purgatory?
“Hey, stop, don’t hit me-”
At the subject that provoked me first, Clara was trembling as she touched her red and swollen cheeks. he started first.
I was full of words I wanted to pour out, but I was so busy with work that I decided to end it here.
“What are you doing? Let’s all work.”
Let’s ferment the boiling inside. Rather, karma means-. I’m very confident about the subject I’ve been caught on.
In fact, I can barely understand why this young lady was shouting so loudly.
There must be a corner to believe.
And that belief is obvious.
Is it their turn to move slowly?
Originally, Clara, who had been hiding in the hideout, would have contacted them and an episode had to occur.
I thought of a well-balanced party where I would squat somewhere and grind my toenails.
Will their claws ever reach me?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, I will never do that.

He roughly processed all the documents that were painful to look at. After signing the last document, I smiled when I stretched it out.
“I’m used to this, too.”
It was strange to me that I was sitting here in my office and doing my work.
Even if I wanted to get a white-collar job, who would have thought that I would end up doing something like this? It’s also quite high-ranking.
The court gardener Tae-oh.
That’s my current job title.
My rank in the court is around #75, but there is no one in the kingdom who doesn’t know that I am the second most powerful person after the queen.
I knew too.
About this man named Tae Oh.
Tae-oh is a villain who appears in a few lines in the novel, and there was no other role other than being an annoying guy who wants to die soon.
In fact, the proportions were too high. But every time it appeared, the comments burned.
So, in the end, this guy ended with a short sentence: ‘One day, Tae-oh was executed according to his karma.’
I can’t remember the exact sentence, but I remember roughly something like that. The ending was handled so simply, so it was rather impressive.
After Tae-oh’s death, Queen Aira began to lose her power, even if the kingdom was destroyed.
Yes.
If the story goes, I might be executed.
It is unknown who, when, where, how, and how they will be executed. Because it wasn’t detailed.
‘One day, Tae-oh was executed according to his karma.’
My life depended on that insincere sentence that did not contain the timing or method.
Even if the stone of an angry crowd flew right now from the window of the office and I was shot to death, it was highly probable.
In fact, there were quite a few instances where I almost died. Not long ago, I barely survived the danger of poisoning.
So, the swelling on my face that was poisoned has subsided a bit?
I got up and looked at the long mirror in the corner of the office. As the thick curtains hanging over it are removed, my face is reflected on the dusty surface of the mirror.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, can you describe this as my face?
Light brown hair and blue eyes.
“After seeing this face for about a year, I get used to it.”
His face feels like he is somewhere between a boy and a young man.
However, to be honest, he is close to a boy, but I am not sure of his age. Because Tae-oh is the magician of the ruined kingdom.
Overall, it was a good looking face as it was a thin face.
When I see a handsome boy, I feel a bit resentful, but when I think that it is me again, I feel pretty good again.
“Hmm-.”
However, if I had to pick one flaw, it was a long, long scar drawn from the top of the right eyebrow to the right cheek.
Had it been scratched by something sharp? This scar was disproportionately ruining the perfect shape of the face, like a villain’s fault.
Actually, the villain is right.
This seems to be the identity of the villain.
As I was recalling the stories of this scar, someone knocked on the door of my office.
“Who are you?”
“Teo. The queen is looking for you. Now, come get some water-.”
It has finally come.
