"I understand," Kenji said.
Pluvia put the documents aside and stared at the ceiling, taking a breath: "Also, Kenji, there's one more matter to discuss."
"Yes."
"Lina is now the leader of the Grey Scale Department. Going forward, the department will have many tasks and will need to be in the palace at all times. I'm suggesting that we establish the Grey Scale Department within the palace, which would also make it convenient for Lina to work. What do you think?"
"...Your Majesty, I cannot decide this matter. Lina is now my colleague, so you should speak with her," Kenji said after a pause, quite naturally.
Tsk, I had thought that she wasn't thinking clearly because of her illness, but surprisingly, even when she barely had the strength to speak, her mind was still scheming about how to get Lina reassigned.
But...
Kenji glanced at the expressionless Lina.
Hilarious—wanting to poach her? Even I find it difficult to send her away!
