The Reason I Made Her My Queen - Chapter 15

Why has it come to this?!

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Carnia walked unsteadily through the palace corridors with faltering steps.

Normally, the Prime Minister didn’t need to attend the King’s audiences, but was supposed to receive greetings from nobles visiting His Majesty and wait in the Prime Minister’s antechamber.

However, due to this recent scandal that threatened to shake the very foundations of the kingdom, the Prime Minister, filled with regret, was heading toward the King’s bedchamber.

During such an emergency, the King was holed up with his young concubine, showing no response no matter how many times the Prime Minister summoned him.

“Your Majesty! King Your Majesty!”

“What is it? You’re being noisy.”

Finally, the King emerged from his bedchamber.

“‘What is it’ won’t do! How can you remain idle in such a crisis!”

The Prime Minister couldn’t hide his anger at the King’s complete inaction during this emergency.

What did the King think of this situation?

However—

“Ah, that matter,” the King replied with apparent disinterest.

Is this any time to be obsessed with women!

The Prime Minister’s anger grew more visible.

“Your Majesty! This is a grave situation!”

“Yes, I suppose so.”

The King showed no concern for the Prime Minister’s anger and was even yawning.

How can you be so leisurely in this crisis! The Prime Minister’s rage intensified, but the King paid him no mind.

“Your Majesty! Do you understand what situation our kingdom faces now?”

“……”

“Listen well, Your Majesty! Our kingdom stands at the brink of survival! If you don’t take charge, who will?”

“Ah.”

Faced with a King who clearly didn’t comprehend the severity of the situation, the Prime Minister’s anger mounted further.

While the Queen was desperately working to resolve the crisis, the King refused to join the fight against the kingdom’s peril.

Worse yet, he was indulging in affairs with his young concubine!

“Your Majesty!”

“Enough! Step back!”

The King shouted at the Prime Minister and retreated back into his bedchamber.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

The Prime Minister called out desperately, but the King showed no response.

“Your Majesty! Please wait—”

But mercilessly, the door closed.

There was nothing more to be done about this situation.

The Prime Minister was crushed by despair.

From that day on, the King never emerged from the harem again.

The Prime Minister gave up on persuading the King and, acting in place of the King who had secluded himself in the harem, struggled to guide the nation.

He never imagined the King could be this incompetent.

But he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

The Prime Minister implemented every possible policy to rebuild the country.

Yet despite his efforts, the kingdom declined day by day.

Swallowing his pride, he sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Fabra.

Even knowing they might be turned away at the door, it was better than doing nothing. No—if he didn’t do something, if he didn’t take action, the kingdom would fall. That was how desperate he felt.

Perhaps his determination reached through, as the kingdom was barely saved.

Truly at the very last moment.

The Prime Minister conveyed his deep gratitude and apologies to the Kingdom of Fabra.

Now the kingdom could survive.

The Prime Minister was resolved to spare no sacrifice to ensure the kingdom’s survival.

Any form that led to the kingdom’s continuation would suffice.

Yes, no matter what form it took—
