I could just give Cola to the Sub Admins, but...

Cola Addiction Gallery lol
Another person was watching the situation in the Gallery.
The Hessen Earl let out a sigh of relief.
"…Is this enough?"
"Yes. However, I will be monitoring you for the next two weeks."
"Yes. Understood."
Hessen Earl nodded as he listened to the Hero, who was much younger than him.
He was just glad that nothing had happened.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The Cola confiscation was talked about in the Gallery for a long time.
It was called the Cola 8-Hour Confiscation Incident, but the shock of that time was conveyed to everyone.
It affected the entire continent, so it's not something that can be easily passed over.
It affected the entire continent.
With that single fact, the Queen of the Osen Kingdom, Beatrice Osen, summoned all the nobles above the rank of Earl.
If it weren't for an urgent matter, the summoning of all nobles would not happen.
There had been no incident, so it might seem unreasonable to summon the nobles.
But no one objected.
Was it because the Queen was scary? No.
The Queen had the power and dignity of a Queen, but she didn't torment those below her.
She would accept it if they refused.
But it was too big to refuse.
The impact of this situation.
"You must know why I have gathered you all."
"Yes. It's the Cola... or more precisely, the Head Admin of the Gallery, I presume."
"Hoo... Yes. The Head Admin of the Gallery. I called you because of that guy."
The gentle voice carried a high level of formality.
It was the voice of an ordinary woman, but a spirit that overwhelmed even Sword Masters gripped the room.
The Queen, who had been pressing her eyelids firmly with her hand as if tired, spoke.
"I will ask you directly. Should we kill the Head Admin. Or should we spare him."
Everyone was taken aback.
It wasn't about finding him or not. It was about killing him. Or sparing him.
You could tell from the fact that she had reached this dilemma just how many thoughts she had.
"There is no one here who doesn't know about me. You can each give your opinion... If you have no thoughts, you can stay silent. However... please provide the basis for your opinion as well."
Beatrice continued with a calm expression.
"My opinion is... let's hold off for now. The being called the Head Admin is dangerous, but he hasn't had a negative impact on the kingdom yet."
If he had harbored malicious intent or was a strange being, she would have killed him right away, but he wasn't.
He was strange, but it was a strangeness within the normal range.
He was very instinctive, but he didn't cross the line.
He wished for everyone's happiness, but on the contrary, he enjoyed putting them in the palm of his hand.
It was like a pure child playing with a toy.
That's why... he was very dangerous.
That was the conclusion Beatrice came to.
Because he had that kind of purity.
If he were to go crazy in a pure way, he could become a threat to the continent and the kingdom.
However, that was a decision for later.
Right now, he had actually helped the kingdom.
He had used his deterrent power to prevent the territories under the kingdom from being attacked.
And he had opened up a lifeline for the kingdom through the Auction House.
Then... should they leave the Head Admin alone?
Swish.
Someone raises their hand.
It was Viscount Berwen, who was in charge of the East.
"I have one question."
"What is it?"
"Do you plan on using the Wish?"
The Wish.
Berwen's question was the most important part from the kingdom's perspective.
Among the kingdom's treasures, there was the Hand of Fulfillment, which granted wishes.
It could grant up to 3 wishes, but now only one remained.
The first wish was used for revenge.
The second wish was used for the birth of the kingdom.
The third wish was saved to prepare for a crisis.
"Yes. I plan on using the Wish."
Murmur murmur.
The surroundings became noisy in an instant.
The Wish wasn't just worth one wish.
It held the value of a kingdom that could do anything and prevent anything.
If the Wish were to disappear completely, the foundation of the kingdom could be shaken.
The Queen's position could be threatened.
Because that Wish can only be used by the one sitting on the throne.
"But there's no other way. Does anyone know the identity of the Head Admin?"
No one could answer.
No one knows the identity of the Head Admin.
Probably not even the Sub Admins know properly.
The Hand of Fulfillment.
There's no other way to find out the Head Admin's identity without using it.
That's why Beatrice arranged this meeting to move carefully.
"Then..."
Viscount Marsill barely opened his mouth.
"I think it's better not to kill him. The return is too low compared to the value of the Wish."
"Hmm. Is that so?"
"Yes. Besides, didn't he do a good thing for the kingdom this time? I can't be certain, but if we support the Head Admin. We can expect a favorable response from the kingdom."
"Hmm..."
If you think about the Head Admin's reaction... it might be so.
Or he might ignore it completely.
You won't know until you see the result, but the reactions of most of the nobles gathered as one.
"So you are all in favor of not killing him."
"Yes. If we kill him, what do we gain for sure? The Head Admin. We get rid of his unpredictable actions. That's about it, but there's no definite return."
It sounded right as she listened.
As Beatrice nodded, someone spoke to her.
"What about winning him over instead of killing him?"
"Winning him over...?"
"Yes. If we win him over, wouldn't it be 100% beneficial to the kingdom?"
If they could win him over, that is.
"Whether he reveals his identity, leaks it, or uses the Wish. In the end, we would be winning him over."
"Oh... Do you know how to do that, My Lord?"
The one who brought up the topic of winning him over was Earl Gail of the North.
Since he suggested the method, he must know it.
As Beatrice's eyes turned to him, he answered lightly.
"Wouldn't it be fine to form an engagement with Your Majesty?"
"…Pardon?"
Leaving the flustered Beatrice behind, they started talking amongst themselves.
"That's a good method."
"A peaceful way to win someone over and bind them together, marriage has been useful since ancient times."
"Exactly."
"M-Marriage...! Besides, we don't even know for sure if the Head Admin is a man!"
"If it's a woman, two women can get married, right?"
"If we ask the Elves, we could even get an heir."
"……."
Beatrice's head started to hurt.
