A Royal Summon - III

What if I were to assure you that every minister and higher officials working under the king would vote for princess Estelle to become the next crowned Queen?" I was amazed by the fact that the queen of the Lethoris was free enough to think about the gossip and troubles going on in neighbouring Kingdom. 

The expression which was slightly smug on her face had told me that she knew she had hit enough and it was exactly where she wanted corner me. 

By my silence she was sure that she had won this part of the conversation because I would surely have a difficult time getting out of it. 

I gulped before speaking. "Higher officials and ministers do not hold that much power as the king does. How would you move him?"
