Chapter 45 - There's No Problem Without A Solution
When looking at the people who were sitting on the table Aria noticed that the man with the black beard who argued with madam Margrethe before was there .
\' So he is here too . He surely wants to cause trouble to madam Margrethe . \' thought Aria then went towards madam Margrethe .
\'\' Everyone , this young lady is Aria and she will participate in this meeting as well as my advisor . \'\' said madam Margrethe .
All the ministers that were gathered remained surprised by the queen\'s decision . The advisors were the ones who would advise the queen about her decisions and they often could decide in her stead . Usually, the advisors were middle-aged people or old people with experience in the government\'s affairs .
\' What is Her Majesty thinking ?! Appointing this young girl as her advisor ! \' thought all of the ministers .
\' Why is this annoying girl again ?! Den said that she was to be feared but she looks very ordinary and naive . \' thought the man with a black beard .
When Aria looked at them she noticed small rectangle boards in which were written the names and position of each person who sat on that table except madam Margrethe and Bekora . She thought it was weird but then concentrated on the black beard person\'s board . He was the minister of the environment .
\' Now a nice show will begin ! \' thought Helios when looking at the whole situation from the balcony.
\'\' Hey you ! \'\' ordered Helios a servant that was at the back .
\'\' Yes , Your Highness ! \'\' said the servant .
\'\' Bring me a cola and some popcorn ! \'\' said Helios .
\'\' Right away ! \'\' said the servant then went to carry out the prince\'s order .
Aria noticed that everyone was looking at her with doubt . She wasn\'t very familiar with the terms of the royalty\'s advisors so she only comprehended this as being a lawyer of madam Margrethe . She didn\'t know the real meaning of this post and thus she couldn\'t understand their expression\'s meaning quite well . Madam Margrethe saw through them right away .
\'\' Any objections ?! \'\' said the queen with a threatening aura .
\'\' No , madam ! \'\' said the ministers who felt a shiver when seeing the queen\'s expression . Before the meeting had started the queen had ordered all of them to call her madam . They thought that it was a bit weird but the queen said that they had to call her madam during this meeting only . Despite having their suspicions they still didn\'t question and obeyed .
\' As expected of my grandma , she is very scary ! \' thought Helios .
\'\' Your Highness , here are your popcorns and cola . \'\' said the servant putting them on the table near the couch where Helios was sitting .
\'\' Okay , you can go now ! \'\' said Helios and the servant left .
The butler ordered the servants to bring another chair for miss Aria .
\'\'Let us continue with the data . \'\' said the minister of finance .
When Aria sat , Bekora handed over a file to her . It was the same problem that she saw that day . The finances had taken a fall and didn\'t show any signs of improvement . It had already been eight months and despite the contributions , the situation continued the same . Aria continued to read the file while the others had started the discussion .
After reading the whole file she left it on the table and focused on the discussion .
\'\' I am pro to the decision of using the building near the royal library as a tourist source by the minister of enviroment . The place is good and it will increase the economy since foreigners tend to like historical buildings as their place to stay . \'\' said the minister of immigration .
\'\' I don\'t agree . That building is over two hundred years old and is considered as part of the historical palace . \'\' said the minister of education .
\'\' I agree with the minister of education but if we continue like this the economic statistic will continue to drop . As a result, all the other institutes will be affected also the wages of the people . \'\' said the minister of finance .
\'\' Not only that but even the imported goods will stop being imported and the market will fall and the business will be forced to close . \'\' said the minister of foreign affairs .
\'\' What about the taxes ? Aren\'t they enough ? \'\' asked madam Margrethe .
\'\' No madam ! The taxes are the ones who haven\'t allowed the economy to fall even more . At the beginning, we thought about raising the taxes but after some calculation about the recent data we concluded that it\'s an impossible possibility .
\'\' What is your thought about this Aria ? \'\' asked madam Margrethe . Everyone in the table turned their head towards Aria .
\'\' Personally I think that there\'s no problem without solution . If we study it closely we can find a solution easily . \'\' said Aria while looking at the reports . All the ministers remained surprised when hearing her saying that this problem that had been troubling them for eight months .
\'\' All of you only focus on the outcome of this problem while we should concentrate on the essence of the problem itself . How it started and why it started ?! \'\' said Aria then took the file in her hands and opened it at the expenses statistics .
\'\' As we can see the environment and health issues have requested to increase their original budget with ten percent these few months . \'\' said Aria .
\'\' We have provided a detailed report about the expenses that the budget will cover . \'\' said the minister of health .
\'\' Yes , this was mentioned in the report however that\'s not all . Most of the money in the budget was transferred to the ministry of health and environment . \'\' said Aria and then all of them started to look towards the minister of the environment and health .
\'\' For the time being, I may not have the necessary information because I just arrived in Denmark , so I am asking you to give me two weeks\' time to come up with a solution and detailed plan . \'\' said Aria and then looked towards madam Margrethe .
The ministers discussed among themselves and the minister of the enviroment convinced them all in giving her just one week\'s time .
\'\' Okay , we agree but we are able to give you only one week and no more than this . \'\' said the black beard man , minister of the environment .
\' This ugly guy is trying to make it difficult for me . I bet that he must be after this matter but I cannot hurry to conclusions without proof . \' thought Aria .
\'\' Sure ! \'\' said Aria and all of them agreed and prepared to leave .
\'\' That tigress girl didn\'t do anything today but she found a good point . It was worth seeing this . \'\' said Helios while eating the popcorns .
After saluting all the ministers , Aria , Bekora and madam Margrethe accompanied by the butler went to the living room on the second floor . When they arrived they sat at the couch and started to look at the reports again .
\'\' Aria , what do you think ? Can you solve this case ? \'\' asked Bekora worryingly while reading the reports .
\'\' As I said , there\'s no problem without a solution . I definitely will solve this but I need your help , both of you . \'\' said Aria while looking at madam Margrethe too . They nodded their heads in sign of agreement and then Aria started to tell them what she had in mind .
