Chapter 180

Report

Since attending the ball party in the royal palace, I have been invited from various houses, so I participated as much as possible .

If I can, I would like to return to the territory soon .

But . . no matter what, I have to stay in the kingdom .

Well, more than anything . . . the management of the territory is stable, and the current concern is that Princess Elle and Yuri set something up, bad for the house or territory . . . . In that case it would be better to stay in the kingdom so that I can counter it soon . That is the best reason .

There is a disturbing air now in the kingdom .

The quantity of people attending parties is getting bigger . it's increasing more and more as I attended the parties .

Every party, everyone is seeing each other's face .

It used to be a place where they were expressed everything on their faces, degrading others, pleasing others, analyzing others . . a true battlefield of foxes with poisonous words, but now it's over . Everyone is afraid, and looking for information, so those petty actions were not seen anymore .

However, I can not keep being in the kingdom forever .

Looking at the reports and agreements coming up from the territory, I write instructions and approve documents .

As far as I'm the territory's acting lord, I must write instructions in anticipation of every situation .

Suddenly I stopped the feather pen .

Will not these work get in the way if I get married . . . ?

Suddenly, I thought of such a thing .

The acacia kingdom is a thorough man society .

Not that women have a hard life there, but I will not be able to do my job .

. . . Before that happens, should I leave my position at the territory to someone else?

I was supposed to stay in the territory for a long time without marriage . . . but . . . if I'm married I might have to go to another country .

When I thought so, I felt as if I had a hole in my heart .

Surrounded by all my people . . Tanya . . . Dida . . . Lyle . . . Dean in the side .

It is a heavy responsibility and hard work . . . but, therefore, it comes with a sense of accomplishment when I'm supported by everyone .

I thought that such days will continue forever .

Sometimes I imagine myself asking Bern if I can inherit it, even so .

. . . . . . At the end, I certainly didn't imagine that it would become such .

"The blue blood flowing in this body must continue . . . That is why my ancestors who have never seen their partners face before, have been married for a long time . That is a nobleman, is not it? "

The words of Mimosa comes to mind .

. . . . . . Her words are terribly correct .

My body is a piece of meat and blood, for the sake of the country . . . for the house .

That is the duty of nobility, holding on and delivering that blood .

Yes, although . . . .

" . . . Dean . . . "

From my mouth, that name leaked out .

I absolutely wanted to see him .

But at the same time, I do not want to see him .

If we meet and talk, I can forget this suffering though it is only for a brief moment .

However, It will be more painful afterwards, if we meet .

. . . I can not give up on my love for him .

A future with him is impossible since the beginning .

. . . but I desire it . I hope it comes true .

Such a thing surely is not appropriate for a nobleman as Mimosa says .

Even though I did not understand my feelings at first, but when I came to know my feelings, this love has grown so much that it's unstoppable .

If you become conscious, in the blink of an eye . . . you quickly fall deeply with no return .

Even though I knew it myself, and decided to not let it happen again, it is exactly what happened .

I put the feather pen on the desk once more .

Breathe in and out heavily and deeply, as if trying to blow away the dark thoughts that comes to my head .

Now I calm myself and remind me that it is not time to think about such a thing .

And then, when I opened my eyes next time, I got absorbed in the document in front of me .

. . . . . . When concentrating, it was really quick that I managed to finish off all the documents I had to handle today .

I take a breath and pick up a letter from Moneda .

The content is what I asked him to confirm beforehand .

It is about the investigation of the church which seems to be involved in the price rise of the kingdom .

Even Tanya said that investigation will take time, but Moneda is Moneda . . . he has his methods when it comes to this . . .

The influence on the company seems to be still alive .

When I was looking at the letter, I heard a knocking sound at the door .

It was Tanya who came in .

" . . . Milady, do you have a minute? would you like me to read the report?"

"Yes, please!"

Tanya came to report the information regarding mimosa's engagement .

I did not expect it, I lost all words to answer about what I heard .

" . . . Lady?"

Tanya seemed to be concerned about me .

"I'm Okay . . . Tanya . . . Please continue . "

At my answer, Tanya continues reading while anxious taking glances at me .

" . . . Finally, a message from Mimosa . "

"Did you meet Mimosa?"

"Yes, I was called by her when I was investigating the things regarding the engagement"

"So, what is the content of her message?"

" . . . She said, I should not continue, She doesn't want you to help her . "

I repeatedly chew in my head the words of Tanya .

"It sounds like her"

I bitterly smile and Tanya also smiled similarly .

"Oh, you already tried to stop me when I requested you to investigate about this, did you say it to her?"

To my question, Tanya bowed to agree .

"Really, that girl is stupid . . . "

To Mimosa's gentle wishes, I could only say so .

Into eyes where tears are likely to come out, I put all my strength and exhale heavily to disperse the cloudy thoughts .

Even though I do not mind being told that . . .

However, I certainly can not move easily from now on .

The name of the Duke of Almeria is so powerful, hence there are various fences .

If I move under the current circumstances, the factions battle in the royal palace have the danger of becoming more intensified .

. . . . . . But, if asked myself if this would be a reason to forsake a friend . . . that is not the case .

For me she gave all .

I was losing my position at the school, but she still stayed with me until the end . . . she is truly an important person to me .

In fact without her help, the rumors about me at school would have been terrible .

Like she thought about me and helped me, I also care about her very much .

I close my eyes and put my thoughts together .

" . . . Hey, Tanya . . . will you really ask me to stop as she said?"

"If it is what the lady orders, I will . . "

"Thank you, in that case I would like to send a message to priest Raffshimons, of course, it is top secret"

"Okay"

"The content will be written after all your reports have been finished . . . Continue please"

At my words, Tanya twinkled her eyes .

"Because it was you, you investigated everything I asked, you helped me greatly this time . Thank you so much . "

Tanya smiled like a flower at my words .

"I'm unworthy of it lady . . . I will now report on what I discovered about the matter of Baroness Yuri "

I switched my mind to her words and continued listening .
