Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

... that's how we finally got to the territory. Although there is of course a feeling of nostalgia, I still feel most relieved to have arrived safely.

"Welcome home, lady."

Led by Sebastian and Sei, this time the remaining servants in the territory welcomed me with all the momentum.

"We hear things on the road. Please, rest easy."

"Thank you, Sebastian. Thank you all for welcoming me."

Sebastian's offer was, to be honest, appreciated. I figured I was very tired because of my constant nervousness on the road too. Rest assured, I guess that came out all at once.

I went to my room, led by Sebastian. Upon entering the room I took a shower and changed into an easy outfit. Sitting in a chair and taking a breather, I drink the herbal tea Tanya prepared for me.

"Good job Tanya, too. Take a rest today, too. I'm going to sleep now, too."

"I'm in awe"

Tanya also fell back when she honestly admitted that she was tired of boulders.

Hmm... and exhale, squeezing and shaking bodies with their own arms.... really, I was scared. I didn't confront my enemies directly because of all of them… but the fact that my life was targeted really makes my liver cold, even if I remember it now.

That said, I can't stop because I'm scared, and I can't escape. We need to let him find the source of the thief properly, and there's as much to think about from there as there are mountains.

Yeah, but. I knew we'd take a rest today.... so I fell asleep deep as I lay on my bet.

The next morning. I woke up at the usual time. I slept pretty early last night, so I just thought I'd wake up early this morning… well, maybe that's all I was tired of. Thanks to you, it's very refreshing.

If you do yoga, take a shower and get dressed, it's totally the usual morning. In the dining room, serve dinner in a long time's territory.

"... Master Iris!

I was getting some tea after the meal, and Leme came in. He welcomed me yesterday, but there was no conversation. I feel like I haven't missed it in a while.

"Oh, Leme. What's the matter with you?

"What's the matter? It's not! Really, I was worried. I'm glad you're okay."

"Thank you for worrying. Look, Leme. I was safe, so don't cry so hard."

"But..."

She squirms with Hickhick and still keeps crying. I don't know, I thought I was back in time... but speaking of which, even when Ed broke my engagement and I came back, Leme was crying.

"I'm really, really sorry to bother you, Leme. Look, stop crying... when you calm down, let's talk about this later, shall we?

"Ha no..."

... Yes, when you calm down... That's not just Leme's emotions.

"... lady"

"Yeah, Sebastian. I'll start work early today. I would have received a report in a letter, but please give me the reports from each department. If I have to, I need to speak to the person in charge."

Unless you strive to settle the paperwork you had accumulated while I was away and understand the current situation. I need to do it first, more than I am in the realm. When I got to the study, the paperwork was piled up and placed on the desk, even though it was organized.

"Well, I'll read the paperwork first. If you call later, you can come."

"I'm in awe"

"And keep Lyle and Dida here."

We also need to make him look into yesterday's thief. It'll take some time anyway, and we'll give you some instructions first.

After Sebastian left, I started fighting the paperwork.... I don't know when I'm going to finish checking this paperwork... what a little far-eyed timing, knocking noise.

"Go ahead."

I thought it was Lyle and Dida exactly, and it was Dean who came in.

"Dean!"

I'm just a little surprised by unexpected entrants.

"Long time no see, ma'am"

"Yeah, really.... even while I was in King's Capital, you would have come from time to time, wouldn't you? Thanks, Dean."

"No, thank you. Better than that, I heard. On the way home, he was attacked."

"... Yep. But where did you...?

I asked Dean if he was rumored to be in the realm...

"In the hall, because we were talking about it. I'm glad your daughter's okay."

For that reason, I was only a little relieved by the words returned.

"Thanks to all the escorts, somehow... So, Dean. I'd like to ask you a few questions..."

"Yeah, I had a few things to report too, so I rushed to this side."

Greetings are there too, and I ask Dean questions about the uncertainties that have come up to what I have read so far. While I was gone, it seemed like Dean and Sebastian were sharing the work and I really appreciated Dean coming at this time.

"… then the zoning of the territorial capital is complete. Registration has been completed in all parts of the Territory, and all that remains is the development of ownership of land outside the territorial capital."

Progress confirmation that I had been in effect since before I left for King's Capital. Since the territorial capital has many premises, ownership of the land is also easy to understand. When buying or selling, we often exchange basic contracts. But when you leave the capital, you change your mind. Again, in rural areas and elsewhere, it is often unclear from where to whose land.

"Yes, if you're going to add, it's pretty much done in the east region. In the south... especially in villages that produce cacao, this one is a little bit more because they were organizing ownership of the land when they traded contracts with the Azzuta Chamber of Commerce... the problem is the west and north"

"Hmmm...... We're going to have to listen as closely as possible to the residents around here."

"Yes. In the Ministry of Civil Affairs, we are currently giving top priority to that task. Also, in parallel, in the territorial capital, we have begun to draw up the residency papers that your daughter used to say."

"Yes, let's keep the policy going."

If I kept repeating the confirmation, I could hear the knock again.

"Excuse me."

It was Lyle and Dida that came in this time.

"Sorry I'm late"

"You don't have to worry about it.... Bye, Dean. I'm sorry, could you step back for a second?

I can't even make Dean listen to the boulder, just because what I'm about to talk about is content.

"Yeah, well, in the meantime, I'm gonna pack up what the lady just told me."

Dean pulled back slightly and walked straight out of the room.
