Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

That day I returned to the mansion of the Duke of Almeria house in the capital of the king.

"... well done, you're safe"

And now I finally get to meet your father, who is back from the royal palace.

Your father looks better than he used to when he slept, but he's still blue and white.

He didn't even seem to weigh back.

I think I understand your mother's concern when I wonder if she is doing intense duties at the Royal Palace.

"Thanks to everyone."

"You don't have to be modest. Really... I'm so glad you're okay"

Your father held me softly.

The warmth makes me feel warm to my heart.

"Thanks, thank you......"

Although I was in that state for a while, I eventually left neither.

"I have heard from Bern.... you'll inherit, won't you?

"Doesn't your father object?

"Who can disagree? Think about your journey so far.... and if you look at what the territory looks like now"

Your father's words tighten my chest.... with pride and joy.

"Dear Left,"

"Besides, Bern also seems to be finding its way in Bern. There's no one to say anyway.... Quickly, Iris. I've already told Bern, but I want you to take the position of lord tomorrow."

"Well... that's a long story."

"I've been thinking about it.... because it became physically difficult to perform the same amount of work as before. The paperwork is ready, and there won't be any confusion in practical terms."

"So much to add?

"Not enough to worry about. If you stay calm, there's nothing particularly wrong with that."

My worry elsewhere, your father was quietly... smiling softly.

"Really..."

To that grin, on the contrary, your father became more worried about his health... but he couldn't hear any more and swallowed the words.

"So, what do you say? Are you ready?

"Yes. By the way, I am ready to take responsibility for the people"

"Right.... I'm not going to say that to you anymore. Just a word.... whenever it gets hard, speak up. Because there's me and my mother and everyone around you."

And the day after that, I officially became Lord of the Duke of Almeria… that is, Lord of the Duke of Almeria.

The format of all the documents was already in order by the hands of your father and Bern, and all I had to do was sign it.

More like this... Though I thought there would be various ceremonies and such, I can't afford the royal palace being chased after the war.

There was no emotion, nothing, formally pale and everything was over.

... Well, it's nothing good.

And the day after that, he drove his carriage back to the Duke of Almeria.

"... Lady, may I welcome you home?

With all the confusion, Tanya the boulder seemed confused as well.

"It's fine. Although we needed more connections on the sidelines, the current situation in the King's Capital is... We're just going to waste time, so you'd better get back to your territory."

"Are you left-handed?"

"Yeah, we're gonna be busy again, Tanya."

Nicole, that's what I said and laughed.

It was a sunny thought, as was the sky seen through the window of the carriage.

The wind coming in through the open window strokes his cheek.

A lot happened.

I took a long road and cried a lot. I suffered a lot.

But as much as that... I laughed.

I got a lot of warm stuff.

If you continue to hurt a lot, you will cry and stop, and suffer a lot.

But I'm all set.

I want to see the end of this road. Everybody laughs, have a bright future.

So I'll keep walking. … with everyone.
