As the King of the Xarooda Kingdom drifted off to sleep at his desk, a young woman in the neighboring country harbored the same worries.

Two weeks had passed since the war ended at the royal capital city of Pireas in the Kingdom of Rhoadseria. The atmosphere that once burned with bloodthirst and fighting spirit no longer remained. Villages and towns around the royal capital had returned to their every day routine, bringing food and goods to Pireas. Merchants from neighboring countries had sniffed out business opportunities and were gradually appearing in the capital. All of which signaled that the war was over, not that everything had returned to how it was before the siege war.

The life they led before the siege had left no mark, only remaining in the memories of the city’s inhabitants. From now on, it would become a mere memory, similar to the memories held by the older generation, who would nostalgically tell tales of the old days. And it would not be Queen Lupis’s reign that they looked back on fondly, but the one of her father, Pharst II. A lot had changed for the Kingdom of Rhoadseria these past few years from the attacks. It was truly a time of upheaval, in which the waves of chaos tossed around the citizens of the royal capital. That may not be the most accurate way to put it—at the very least, many were affected. Regardless of their level of influence, everyone in the kingdom could not outrun the wave that poured over the city. Thus, the queen who rose from the chaos, could be said to have been the one person who had to endure it all.

Rulers spent most of their lives in their offices.

A young woman sat at her desk in her office, her elbows leaning on the table and supporting her head. Mountains of documents kept coming with no break before her.

“Haa...” The young woman let out a deep sigh. She seemed to be around her mid to late teens and would soon no longer be a “young woman” but a “fully fledged woman” as she approached maturity. She was the age where one would have plenty of energy, eagerly dreaming of their future. However, in her sigh lay the weight and agony of someone much older than her age. Her sadness resembled the grief of an overworked salaryman, unable to catch up on work. At any rate, she did not look like the powerful figure she was.

No matter how much she sighed, the pile of documents showed no signs of decreasing. She lightly stretched and restarted her work, wearing a look of defeat.

Why am I stuck doing this kind of stuff? she thought, even if he answer was obvious. The documents handed to her were all important matters linked to the politics within the Kingdom of Rhoadseria, most of which required her final approval. It was surely strange for a young woman under twenty to deal with these sorts of documents.

There’s no end to them.
