Once again, it was an inner cabinet meeting, only this time Perfikot was also seated at the conference table.
Empress Annie had finally 'persuaded' Perfikot to return to the cabinet and perform her duties.
What was strange to everyone, however, was that Perfikot did not take control of everything as usual, but merely made some adjustments to the plan devised by Empress Annie.
It was as if she was merely assisting, and Empress Annie was the one making decisions.
In theory, there's nothing wrong with this. After all, Perfikot still acknowledged herself as a subject of the Royal Family, and there was nothing wrong with aiding Empress Annie as a subject.
However, during the previous empress's reign and after Empress Annie ascended the throne, the name Perfikot Brandelis had never been under anyone's command, nor had she ever taken on a subordinate role.
Even when she first arrived in the Northern Territory as nothing more than a mere baroness, Perfikot always led her own plans.
