Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

Promise to your grandfather.

"I don't think we can take Bern with us. Lord Louis will be in trouble."

"Come on... I think your husband would say otherwise, wouldn't he?

"Mmmm... well, yeah..."

The conversation between them gave me a headache. That kid, you're still blind.

"That kid, are you making that much of a mess over there?

"It's working beautifully. For Edward, though. No... for that baroness..."

... Oh, I'm scared of what you're serving up, and I can't ask you any more. I mean, I don't want you to come back to the Duke's house.

"More than that, Iris. Can I stay here for a while?

"Of course not, Grandfather. Oh, then... I have a favor to ask..."

"What?"

"There were two… one has now established a new guard unit in our territory. I need you to train your recruits. Of course, only during your grandfather's stay."

"Of course, it's good. I was just thinking about playing with Lyle and Dida."

"Huh? So those two know your grandfather's coming?

"I've told them recently... well, they're used to it, so I guess I'll have to predict."

... Grandfather, it's too absurd. Then neither of you can tell me, can you? I haven't confirmed it yet.

"So, what's the other one?

"Um... you know..."

"Look, say it"

"... could you take me to Ichii?

My grandfather was circling his eyes to see if my wish was too unexpected.

"I don't mind that again... but why again?

"Um... I want to walk around the city. I don't mean to inspect... but I want to see and feel with my own eyes what the city looks like right now, what the people think and how they live. So if you don't really want to walk around with a lot of people... and your grandfather, who wouldn't complain about one?

I've seen a lot of previous inspections, albeit part of the territory. But inspection is not a form, I want to walk as a city person. More directly, without using a carriage, without being surrounded by escorts. That's what it used to be. If you think about it, your grandfather is very convenient.

First of all, if someone as strong as your grandfather would go with you, you'd be safe and secure, and you wouldn't disagree with me from Lyle or Dida.

Secondly, if you walk with your grandfather, it becomes camouflage. Bad way to put it, because your grandfather doesn't look like a real nobleman.

Thirdly, I don't really want to move the people in the house at my disposal right now. Lyle and Dida each have a job assigned to them, and I want them to prioritize you... and I have to take them all along that they're other escorts, and I'm still vigorously anxious. Given all this, your grandfather is really fit.

"Nothing good, huh? So, you want to go early tomorrow?

"Is it true!? Thank you very much."

Wow. I don't know what to do... buy and eat, window shop and have fun.

Just then, I heard a knock on the conn and the door.

"... excuse me. Dear Iris, it is time for the afternoon meeting…"

Sai was the one who came in reluctantly to say so.

"Well, this is such a time already...?

"Iris, don't worry about us. It's a house of your choice."

"Right. It's time to play with Lyle and Dida."

"Then both of you will excuse me on this side. Call me if you need anything."

After the study, I hear the progress of what I instructed you to do in the morning from Sai on the road.... Oh, speaking of which, I have to make plans about selling herbal tea.

"Speaking of which, Sai. The report said something about Baroness Yuri..."

"Oh, is that about her? I've applied to become a member, so I declined."

"Oh, did Master Ed not complain?

"" If you are officially married and royal, you cannot become a member at this stage. "She was convinced that she was waiting for many nobles to become members of our Chamber of Commerce, and that even those who are more stately than you are waiting in order. The Second Prince said a lot, but she ended up convincing the Second Prince."

"Yes... good if it doesn't matter"

"... or what are those people? If you knew the Azuta Chamber of Commerce was your daughter's possession and you looked so big, I'd be nervous."

"... I didn't know, I guess you were right not to be interested in me from the start..."

Yeah, I feel that way. I'm from the past...... I guess I'm on a level about whether it's already in the corner of my memory or not. For them, things that are most important to each other and are otherwise invisible around… alas, when I say this, they are the perfect expression for the eyes of a typhoon.

"Even if those people had nothing to do with it, they're of poor quality. The second prince wielded power, and she didn't deserve special treatment with her. I can't believe... it feels like what are you applying for?"

………

Unexpectedly, I exhaled a heavy sigh.

"Sai. If you care about me, you don't normally mind me going through the application. It's more troublesome for Ed to intervene."

"So far, there's been a real wait in order. When it's her turn, I'll consider it carefully."

"That would be nice."

Then I had a meeting around Sei and the place, and it was totally at dusk.

... After this, I have a meeting with Sebastian.

With that in mind, one of them took a relaxing walk. In the Duke's house, which has vast grounds, there are currently several separate gardens and houses apart from the main house. For this reason, the headquarters of the Azuta Chamber of Commerce was based by renting one of its separate houses.

It is arranged that the prototype should not be taken out of the building, so I also go there when I go to see the prototype or something. It's gonna be good exercise, and it's on the house property.

As soon as I entered the study, Tanya brewed me tea.

"Speaking of which, Tanya. Can you tweak your plans for tomorrow at noon?

"Do you have any plans?

"Yes. Your grandfather will take you to the city."

"Is there a Mr. Gazelle? That was good. Let me vacate you quickly."

"Nice to meet you."

Now, good. Looking forward to tomorrow, huh?
