Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

A long hallway feels longer than usual.

I don't want to go... but I have to go.

I manage to move my heavy feet with a sense of duty and move on.

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

... and I came to the talks.

Waiting in the reception room was a man my age.

Wrapped a scarf around his head and dressed in acacia country clothing called loose clothing, he had a soft grin when I showed up.

"Welcome, sorry for the sudden visit. My name is Huffies Bent Marcid."

... throw a welcoming party at the Royal Palace when the envoys of the Acacian countries visit.

As a Duke's daughter too, I was in before I was banished from school... so, I've never seen it.

Of course, I've only seen the messenger who was the Lord, so I can't say it at all.

"I am honored to receive your name. My name is Iris. It is Iris Larna Armenia. Thank you very much."

"No, I'm surprised. I didn't know you, a woman, were entrusted with this territory... But according to what I heard, this territory has been prosperous for a long time? Your father's wise eyes are wonderful when he decides to entrust this territory to you."

"Well, no... Excessive words, it hurts."

"You'll be humbled. There has been an increase in trade since you were entrusted with it. That arm impresses the royalty of our country as well. This time, Kaadil, the first prince of our country, would like to visit us because of that relationship."

"Well......"

Ho ho ho...... and laugh and delude while hiding his mouth with a fan.

I really don't know what to do...... look at the guy in front of me to the point where he won't be rude while I think about that.

The man in front of his wild face is a neat face.

He has a soft grin, but the back of his eyes bears the kind of light that sets this one apart.

"It is a great honor… for once, I must ask my father."

"Really? … I hear your authority is no less than that of a lord…"

… that you are carefully researching the territory of another country… and exhale your heart without breaking your grin.

"Well, that would be good. If you'd like to ask your father, I'd like you to do one more thing."

"… what should we be?

"Actually... inspection is just an excuse. Master Kaadil is here to propose to you."

This time it was too surprising and my heart was about to stop.

The word proposal is incomprehensible even if the word itself is understood.

"Apparently, Master Kaadil saw you at first sight and was distraught or something... It's a great bridge between the two countries."

I don't recall the First Prince being among the messengers.

... at first glance, is that a lie? Or was it lost in the messenger...?

"The official letter can be found here"

Master Haffies served a single letter from his nostalgia.

That's when I look at the gold ring that was embedded in his finger. The center was flattened and the eagle text was depicted.

The letter is given to Sebastian, who refrained from doing so, and in my hands.

"Sure.... By the way, Master Haffies. You're wearing a very nice ring."

"Oh... is this it? You can take the money in our country, so..."

"… is it the left? It was a lovely design, so it caught my eye."

To my words, Master Haffies deepened his grin.

For now, we stare at each other silently.

Both me and him are observing each other, trying to get a little information, while asking how they're getting out.

The silent attack had a harsh atmosphere indoors.

"... excuse me"

During the talks Tanya came into the room.

"... what's up?

She did not answer my question, but instead gave her mouth to her ear.

"I have news that your husband has been attacked."

What the...? Though I almost screamed out, I can remember the presence of the man in front of me.

"I'm sorry, Master Haffies. Apparently, this is urgent news, so may I excuse you for once?

"Yeah, sure."

I stood up and rushed out of the room to the point where there was no coarse phase.

Me and Tanya enter the two adjacent rooms from the exited room.

"What do you mean, attacked? Is your father safe?

"... Yep. He said the wounds were huge, but he said there was nothing else in his life."

"Oh......"

Ho, feel safe, I can't help myself.

"Lady......!

Tanya supported me when I was about to fall on the spot.

"Are you okay?

"Yeah..."

Repeat your breathing and breathe. It was tickling right in front of me, but it came back to normal gradually.

"It's okay.... I'll be back."

"But..."

"You can't keep him waiting long."

I flutter for a moment, but I manage to get up and walk out.

"Thank you for waiting."

"No...... your face is not superior in color, are you ok?

"Yes. Actually, I have news that my father has fallen ill."

"Oh..."

"Fortunately, because it wasn't serious....... but as a daughter, I am worried, so I would like to head right under the father of the king's capital. My sincere apologies to Master Hafeez..."

"No. If that's what happened to your father, I can't do that either. Not to mention, you'll be more worried if you stay far away."

"Thank you very much for your concern. Next time, we'd like to welcome you."

That's how my meeting with him ended early.
