King Ophire's Stance

"Hmm…" The King's voice diverted their attention from the pitiful child who sat with her chin touching her chest.

"Miss St. Claire is right." He accepted whatever it was that she had just said.

While all eyes were on him, he saw that the little girl had also raised her chin just a little to sneak a peek at him.

"This was also why I chose to keep matters a secret until I found an opportune moment to reveal the truth." He declared why he had let his ministers know about it today.

Old Man Carter and the other two ministers with him nodded after giving it some thought.

In the past, when the ministers had all heard Marquess Samed's proposal for the policies, there was zero opposition to what he had said.

However, that outcome would have been different if they knew that the true contributor to the policies was a little girl.

Though the suggestions were right and helpful, some of them might have objected to it just because it was from a child.
