Northern Duchess
Chapter 23

"When are you at war?"ask Melody who made Devian stiff as a child.

___________

"That's_, I've been at war from childhood, when I was 6 years old I had gone to war, because at that time the Empire was critical, all the nobles who could fight had gone to war but it was not enough, so I was forced to send to lead an army"

"I just came home a few months ago, I've been at war for 11 years" replied Devian mutely it was clear that Devian was having a lot of difficulties.

"That's it" Melody said, she felt bad because it was like she had made someone feel sad, until now Melody did not dare to look at Devian and pretend to focus and do not care about the Devian story.

Devian who saw it just smiled he knew that Melody was actually feeling bad, and pretended to be uninterested.

"Pftt.., Your Majesty I'm fine" replied Devian chuckling.

It turned out to make Melody embarrassed so she hid her face with a document.

It actually makes Devian laugh more, according to him the thing that Melody did was funny.

"Pftttttt...., hahahahahaha, Your Majesty is very cute" said Devian who is still laughing loudly while holding his stomach that is sick from laughing too hard, who was laughing too hard, even Devian periodically wiped his tears that just kept coming out.

Melody who heard Devian's laughter felt so upset that.

"Shut up!"melody shouted towards Devian while standing up.

"Ah yes Your Majesty I'm sorry" Devian said in the end it is not good if he continued to mock the ruler of the region.

Finally the room went back to silence just the sound of paper and brushes being heard in the room was focused Devian and the equally focused Melody made the atmosphere inside there very quiet and calm.

"Eh?, this!_"screaming Melody unintentionally while reading the stack of files in front of her.

"Ah?, what's the matter Your Majesty?"asked Devian who was surprised.

"This is so neat I can't believe that there are still honest people here" Melody replied.

"Oh that, some of the office's belongings are indeed clean so it seems that we do not need to justify all the existing files" Devian said while showing some files that are indeed correct from there.

"True, if this is how I have subordinates who can be trusted" Melody said with a smile.

"Your Majesty do I need to call them to help you?"ask Devian.

"Maybe I can't do it now, because I have to clean up some insects first, what time is it?"ask Melody.

"Now at 3pm" replied Devian.

"It turns out it's almost night, okay today until here it works later tonight I have to attend a party, you can rest first, we'll go on later"melody said as she stood up from her seat and did a little stretch of her stiff muscles due to working too long.

Perhaps because he was used to it now did not feel too tired to do a lot of documents, well at least this kind of work is more suitable for him than his work before reincarnation.

After saying that Melody immediately just walked outside without looking back leaving Devian who was still sitting on her curisel quietly.

Now the room was quiet there was only a Devian.

Finally, with a decision that Devian considered back to work anyway today he was not too busy and he also did not know what would be better if he helped Melody fill all the documents, and he did not know what would be better if he helped Melody fill out all the documents, if the problem of the Duchy troops he felt it was not necessary to worry anymore, the troops were easier to manage as long as there was Delice there he was sure it was okay.

Baron's Residence.

Brakk!!

"The Duchess is how brave she is!, just a princess who was thrown away how dare she do this to me!!"the voice of the Baron was now so tempestuous in every corner of the residence.

He felt angry because of the incident that had just happened to him, the Duchess's forces had just been to his residence and took all the documents about the territory that had been his responsibility

And he could not resist at all what else among those troops who would have thought that there would be someone like young Duke Duchy Milian?!.

She was only afraid that the Duchess found her fault, but she also got a report that the Duchess was not only checking her house but all the houses of officials in the North Duchy.

"Well if the Duchess finds out then I'll have to get rid of her by putting her under my influence, and a little princess like her what she can do,  a princess who is like a very fragile glass vase might not even be able to take a single blow from me"baron said he strongly believes that he can definitely make the Duchess now as a pawn or doll.

"It's really better now that I prepared the party so well and luxuriously" Baron said with a sly smile.

Melody Room.

Melody is now sitting in front of her dressing table, currently she is being made up by her Servants.

"Your Majesty, what if you wear this dress alone, it's really nice"

"No, it's much nicer and more elegant"

"Blue is more beautiful"

All of her servants were now arguing about what dress to wear after the commotion they had when helping her take a shower earlier, to be honest Melody who was now very confused and dizzy, he didn't even think about the old Melody, how she could be so resistant to it, he just felt so fed up.

"You guys just shut up"

The sentence made the Servants instantly silent and stared at Melody with their heads bowed they only realized that they had been disrespectful to the current Northern Duchess.

"Get rid of it all I won't wear it all, and call a tailor here I'll make comfortable clothes for my current job" Melody said.

"Okay Your Majesty" said the Servants.

They immediately got rid of everything, and immediately called a tailor to come.

Before long a tailor came.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Duchess" the tailor said respectfully.

"Well, can you make me clothes quickly?"ask Melody.

"Anything for Your Majesty, I'm sure if you want to wear it to go to the party later tonight right?, I'll try to make your clothes as beautiful as possible" said the stinger a little excited.

"Not a dress but this"
