34. Struggle.

The educational review decided in the 『Imperial Palace Secretariat』 at dawn was delivered to the 『Intelligence Agency』, where Agnes is the Minister, in just one hour.

Of course, this was also arbitrarily leaked by Im Seo-hyun. After all, she didn’t have much interest in Henrietta – although she was a bit cocky, there was no need to touch her since she was nominally a ‘Bin’ status – putting her up for educational review was purely a pressure tactic against Agnes.

 

 

Naturally, Agnes was furious when she heard this news.

 

Funnily enough, this Harem Palace organization had placed the ‘education’-related department under the Secretariat. This was because the main method of punishment used on the maids was ‘education’.

Also, even if it wasn’t punishment, all women who became new maids had to undergo this ‘education’ once, and even when they were promoted and joined various departments, they had to receive related job training.

 

 

In other words, the power of the Imperial Palace Secretariat was increasing through this education department as time went on. Moreover, Bojinia, which was created after the recent downfall of China, is also creating and organizing educational facilities through massive construction projects, so in a few months, a mere Secretariat will have the power of a considerable continent.

 

 

 

 

Anyway, when the Secretariat initiates an ‘educational review’ for a woman who is already a maid, there is only one purpose. That is ‘punishment’.

Agnes hasn’t been inside herself, but rumors inevitably leak out, and when you put them together, it’s just education in name only, but a terrible violation of human rights.

 

 

Henrietta was already a woman who had been kidnapped and brutally violated by Im Seo-hyun, so to push such a woman into such a pit again? As a mother, she couldn’t help but be furious to the top of her head.

 

 

But the problem was that there was no particular way for her to take action.

She had already provoked Im Seo-hyun a lot, so even if she apologized now, it didn’t seem like she would drop the review, and even if she did, the words she had already said wouldn’t go anywhere. Maybe the moment she apologized, she would be marked by Im Seo-hyun and end up doing strange things for the rest of her life.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t think that bitch Im Seo-hyun would go this far…”

 

Agnes muttered in dismay and sat down on the bed with a *thud*. A deep worry was cast on her face.

 

 

It’s not that she had forgotten that her daughter was in Gangnam.

However, Henrietta is clearly Yu-eun’s ‘Bin’, and in terms of status alone, she is higher than Im Seo-hyun. Although there is only a one-step difference from ‘Jaein’ Im Seo-hyun, ‘Jaein’ was a maid, and ‘Bin’ was a wife. The difference in status between a maid and a wife is bound to be extreme.

 

 

Moreover, she herself is the biggest stat cow in the palace, so in a way, she could be seen as the cash cow of the entire Harem Palace organization.

 

 

That’s why she didn’t think that Im Seo-hyun would use this as an excuse to touch her.

 

 

But Im Seo-hyun was a much more reckless woman than she thought. She immediately called her secretary and maids and lightly (?) touched them, and then formed an educational review committee for Henrietta. According to what she heard, she reported directly to Yu-eun.

She must have said a lot of bad things.

 

 

“What should I do?”

 

 

She was lost in thought while sipping alcohol, but no clear solution came to mind.

No matter how much Yu-eun frantically craves her body, if he had to take someone’s side right now, he would naturally take the side of Im Seo-hyun, who is a maid and his direct secretary.

Perhaps Yu-eun himself might take this opportunity to properly break the spirit of Agnes and her daughter and become even more rampant. If that happens, of course, Henrietta in Gangnam will be the one who dies, rather than Agnes.

 

 

“Hoo…”

 

 

After sipping alcohol alone without any snacks for several hours.

Finally, she was able to come up with a somewhat nutritious idea. It was a method that could not only resolve this conflict with Im Seo-hyun, but also be an almost permanent solution to the problems of her and her daughter in the future.

 

 

It’s just that it’s hard to accept….

 

 

 

 

What she thought of was ‘Isonia’.

 

 

Although Yu-eun wields power close to absolute power worldwide, and is no exaggeration to say that he is a god in the palace, the truth is that he only has strong power and influence, but he himself is just a young punk with no ambition and only interested in playing with his lower body.

That’s why a mere maid like Im Seo-hyun can wield such tremendous power.

 

 

Based on this, if you think about it quietly, you can find a woman who has more power than Im Seo-hyun.

Although she is not a widely known figure, so Im Seo-hyun may be more famous worldwide, if you look into it, there may not be many women who wield as much influence as Isonia.

 

 

She is Yu-eun’s wife – or rather, fiancée – ‘Lee Yoona’s’ mother, and she herself is his wife, and even appointed as 『Minister of Justice』 as an Imperial Palace Judge.

 

If it were a democratic society with a proper separation of powers, she would only be doing the work of the judiciary, but the Harem Palace was not a democracy. It was a place that revolved entirely around Yu-eun, and Isonia was not just doing the work of the judiciary.

 

 

 

In the first place, her job as an Imperial Palace Judge itself has the absurd power to create, deliberate, judge, and even execute the laws of the ‘court’, and if she is a member of the Yu-eun court, even the Empress cannot escape her judgment. And the maximum judgment she can make is ‘death penalty’. It is a terrifying power that permanently executes her, which cannot be revived by any magic or item, and even destroys her soul so that even zombification is impossible.

 

 

“According to what I hear, she’s also the only person who speaks informally to that bastard.”

 

 

Usually, they use honorifics to each other.

But when they go to bed, she grabs him while calling him *oppa oppa* in informal language.

 

In a way, she is more influential than Im Seo-hyun.

 

 

 

If she can be persuaded well, it won’t be difficult to solve this problem.

But the problem is that she is also an enemy comparable to Im Seo-hyun, or even worse.

 

 

Im Seo-hyun had only kidnapped Henrietta, who was running away, on Yu-eun’s orders, but Isonia brutally murdered Agnes’ husband and killed or turned her cherished subordinates into sex toys.

Of course, if you look at the situation at the time, Agnes’ husband, NTR Victim, and the members of Agnes Noblesse threatened Isonia first, so if she had no choice but to kill her husband, Agnes would have forgiven her with tears in her eyes.

 

But Isonia had enough ability to subdue everyone, and yet she half-mocked them before brutally murdering them.

 

 

So how can she forgive her?

The loyalty and affection that rises due to Yu-eun’s ability is only loyalty and affection for Yu-eun, and does not apply to Im Seo-hyun or Isonia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agnes still hated the two women.

Agnes decided to stay in Germany for a few more days.

She had to think about the matter with Im Seo-hyun, and she also had to think carefully about whether to contact Isonia or not.

 

At the same time, she decided to postpone dealing with the Kakus a little. Just in case.

 

 

 

In the meantime, a Secretariat private jet departing from Gangnam arrived at Berlin Brandenburg Airport.

The media became quite noisy as the Secretariat, one of the largest power organizations in the Harem Palace, directly flew a plane.

 

Some even reported that a confrontation had formed between Agnes Isabella, the top D10 power holder, and Im Seo-hyun, the real power in the Harem Palace.

 

 

 

The person who got off the private jet amidst the swarm of reporters was none other than Im Ha-yan.

She had been called in by Im Seo-hyun the night before and was thoroughly scolded, so she steeled her heart and flew straight to Germany.

 

 

The supreme order to somehow get the Kakus out and bring them to the Secretariat.

 

To this end, Im Seo-hyun gave her all her authority.

She would cover for her no matter what she did, so she told her to bring them in first.

 

 

If she couldn’t do it even after all this, she would probably rot in the underground education room for the rest of her life. She had no choice but to have a different determination.

 

 

 

 

“It has been confirmed that Majime Kaku and the other subjects are in the Intelligence Agency residence.”

 

 

Im Ha-yan, who got into the car to avoid the reporters scattered by the German media, received a report from a maid belonging to the Secretariat in Germany and made a plan.

She had already thought about the general outline, but it seemed that she needed a little more detail to actually execute it.

 

 

“First, arrange a meeting with the 『Minister of Intelligence』, and everyone except for some of the people following me should go straight to the Intelligence Agency residence.”

“Are you saying to take them out by force?”

“Preferably by persuasion. After all, even if they belong to the Intelligence Agency, they are still maids. It will be difficult to directly defy the Secretariat.”

“Understood.”

 

How many maids would dare to defy the Secretariat when Agnes is not there?

After all, the maids’ greatest desire is to serve Yu-eun by his side, and for that, they must be on good terms with the Secretariat.

No matter how thoroughly Agnes cracks down, she will not be able to stop the Secretariat in the end.
