Princess Heir Linasien had been swamped with work since her return.

This was because she had reclaimed her governing authority from Airan and was now responsible for handling state affairs herself.@@novelbin@@

The emperor, who had lost his faculties, was barely conscious once a week, leaving the entire burden of governance on the heir apparent, Linasien.

"Your Highness, a dispute has arisen between the Valcaron and Drayburn families. Their lands border each other, but the boundary is unclear, and it may lead to military conflict. You must set a clear boundary between them as soon as possible."

Unfortunately, both the Valcaron and Drayburn families were among the nobles who supported the princess heir.

"Have the territories surveyed so that they can be divided fairly."

"Excuse me? But the Drayburn family’s land is significantly smaller. The reason for the unclear boundary is the winding waterway that both families' farmers use. You must review this carefully before making a decision."

Linasien wanted to slap the adviser, whose eyes grew wider every time he spoke.

With a sigh mixed with frustration, Linasien unfolded her fan.

"Gather the relevant materials for review. Next!"

The wide-eyed adviser stepped back, and the next person approached with documents in hand.

"Your Highness, the famine caused by the drought in some regions near the Church is worsening. Should we send food aid from the central government or reduce taxes?"

"Which option is better?"

"...Excuse me?"

"Enough of this 'excuse me!' When presenting reports, you should also prepare the necessary data and suggestions, shouldn’t you?"

Linasien’s criticism was entirely justified.

Departments bringing up matters for discussion were supposed to bring materials to aid the decision-making process.

But Linasien didn’t realize this was all a test set by the advisers.

During Airan’s time as a proxy ruler, the central advisers and regional nobles had been genuinely impressed with her clear and decisive handling of matters.
