My Husband is a King
Not a Royal Asset
"Eliana was right to keep the key. But the key and all the accompanying devices do not belong to the kingdom!" The man held a flash in his right hand.
"Regal Minister ...." Everyone whispered his name.
"In this flash, there are all the royal lists of riches. Not only its natural resources, but also all the buildings that belong to the palace." Stepping straight into the middle of the podium, the man managed to steal the attention of all the members of the meeting.
"And in the list of assets belonging to the kingdom, there is no Louis laboratory in it!" firmly the middle-aged man in his black suit.
"The key Eliana held, was the key to the lab, and it was rightfully Eliana's. And sorry, Your Majesty. It is precisely His Majesty the King who brought Eliana's belongings and almost eliminated them," he said, while plugging the flash into one of the laptop's usb holes. Until the contents of the flash is displayed through the reflection of the projector on the white screen.
All were silent to notice. Minister Garfield, or finance minister, all fell silent because they were confused about how to respond.
"Wait, I'm about to interrupt!" Another minister interrupted. He is the minister of development.
"To my knowledge, Louis's research fund has been revoked and his status turned into debt. Not to mention the incident when Louis tear down his own laboratory so that the kingdom must be in a fog to cover the news!" he brought up Louis' debt.
"Louis hasn't even replaced him yet! It is only natural that the kingdom ask one laboratory so that the laboratory as well as all its contents belong to the kingdom," the minister said again with a slanted smile. He felt that victory in this debate would be obtained after he had spoken.
"You're wrong, minister of development! His Majesty the King has already repaid the debt due to one or two agreements" Regal's minister replied calmly.
"Isn't that so, Your Majesty?" Minister Regal throws a question at His Majesty King Gerald.
"That's fine, Minister Regal. You can all check the royal treasury, if I've paid off Uncle Louis' debt with my personal property." King Gerald said with great confidence. It is impossible to state if Eliana is a debt-redeeming girl who is replaced with money by her.
"Even the finance minister who monitors the continued influx of royal cash flows should know, if any money from personal accounts goes in with a large enough amount to the royal treasury? Isn't that right, Minister Garfield?" The King replied to the minister's question with insinuations.
The minister of development looked at the finance minister, as if to ask "What does His Majesty the King say is true?"
The finance minister unfortunately did not want to answer, he threw his face away from the questionable gaze of the other ministers.
"Enough!" The Prime Minister of Arshville mediates. "Aren't you already filing for self-immolation from the ministerial ranks? Why can you still be here, Mr Regal!"
"I have submitted a letter of resignation. And I have also transported my belongings from the ministry office, but, Your Majesty has not granted my resignation request, nor has anyone filled my post. An invitation from you, I received before I submitted my resignation. So, is there a problem?" ask minister Regal.
"Do you not like my presence?"

Remember who Regal was? What is he holding?
Hint: This minister once submitted a letter of resignation to the King.
