The Duchess of the Attic

The incident at the Viscount Croisel's Ball had already spread throughout the country the following morning.

Surprisingly, it was featured heavily in popular paper.

"Isn't it too soon to be an article about how much anything is? I wonder who leaked it..."

Opal put the newspaper on the table and whined.

The content of the article is quite sensationally written here that the identity of the thieves who had been plaguing the alley lately were the sons of the nobles.

I'm pretty sure it's a big case, but what bothered Opal was the content of the article was pretty detailed.

On top of what happened at the ball, to the exact line Claude said, it even says what Opal doesn't know - what's inside the Justice Department.

"Literacy rates have risen in recent times, and newspapers are becoming civic entertainment. I guess the Department of Justice also thought of accurate information if they were going to find out anyway. The thieves, the enemies of the citizens, are noble bonkers...... no, because they buy quite a bit of disgust that they were from upstream society. Even though citizens' dissatisfaction with nobility has been solicited lately, I have trouble with this becoming a spark and burning heavily. That's why I want to show you that the Justice Department and the righteous nobles have defeated the evil nobles."

"I think it would be great for all of the people to have equal rights. But too much haste may create distortion somewhere. But lately things have been going too fast, and sometimes I get scared."

"Right. This country, the kingdom of Tysey and the rest of us are changing dramatically now. Blurry doesn't keep up with changing times in no time, and they leave it behind"

Claude said, taking up the newspaper on the table.

And when it opens, it points to an article.

"More than that, I'm pissed at this article. Who is it, the one who wrote this? Alan Malone or something, are you kidding me?

Claude is unusual and irritating.

Opal was surprised to drop his gaze when he was all distracted by the Keymonts' article, but wondered if anything else was written that mattered.

Quickly grab the newspaper and glance at the article.

"What, this..."

Opal glanced as he followed the letters with his fingers.

Not only did the article detail last night's arrest play, but even Opal's rebuttal of Keymont.

The headline is' On the side of the weak woman! Opal Holloway, former Duchess McCloud! '.

"How rude of you to have the wrong name!

"Oh, speaking of which, you're wrong"

"I am the Marquise Opal Fred Roussell. We have to protest so that we can put the corrections on immediately!

Claude erupted as Opal angrily searched for a newspaper contact.

Hearing that laugh, Opal looks up.

"Why are you laughing? Claude was mad, too."

"What I was angry about was the content of the article. This reporter praises Opal. That's good. Because it's the truth. But at the end of the day," I'd love to be near you. "

"I think it's just a light-hearted tightening, but if you don't like Claude, I'll protest. I'm not interested in anything other than Claude."

"No, that's not what I meant"

"So, what do you mean? I'm sure this reporter doesn't know I remarried. As a reporter, I don't have enough coverage."

Opal frowned when he found the address of the newspaper.

Not that far from here, but I don't have time after this because I'm visiting the Viscount Cloisel house.

"I wonder if I'll have some time in the afternoon..."

"Are you seriously going to go protest? You're gonna make a fuss."

"What is already in the noise. More than that, I was going to ask for a donation with the protest. If you get a lot of press on that, it's going to be not only newspapers, it's going to be a publicity for the organization, right? Besides, there could be more donations from other companies and individuals, and I don't have a hand in not doing it."

When Opal said intentionally, Claude erupted again.

I really don't think you'll get bored with Opal.

Whatever the headlines and closing touches, here's what the article was about.

"Opal Holloway took the means to have his property transferred from Keymont as alimony to save the women and their children who Jeb Keymont deceived and improvised irresponsibly.

And the evil was majestically disputed and hunted down at the Viscount Cloisel ball.

She has been ceded enormous fortunes upon divorce from the Duke of McCloud, using it as a starting point to increase her assets and restore them for disadvantaged people.

He set up a protection group, with particular emphasis on the protection and activism of women, and began his activities to reach out to the King's capital as well as to the provinces'.

I guess the region made predictions because Opal went out to the city of Novoli.

In fact, Opal is investing in the establishment of local city charities.

Claude felt guilty wondering if it would have been nice to take her halfway down the road to the kingdom of Tysey as well.

"Claude, what's wrong? I thought you were supposed to be a lady?

"No way. No, I'm not."

Opal inquired when he suddenly noticed Claude, who had laughed earlier but had become a true face.

There's so much I want to do, but first I want to take care of Claude.

That feeling has not changed since I received the proposal.

While I was in this country, and Opal worried I was a little too anxious, Claude's answer was unexpected.

"Opal is trying so hard to help the needy in this country, he was wondering if I could take him to the kingdom of Tysey at my convenience. 'Cause Opal is so good right now."

"That's right. I've only solved a few problems lately. It makes me happy."

"Trouble?"

"Yeah. I've been trying to figure out how to get a lot of people - if possible, people in need to know about protective facilities and charities. Because the Wang capital is good, but it is still not known to be a region. It turns out that even a city as big as the city of Novoli is not at all. But maybe this time it's been covered in the paper, and it's going to change a little bit? If there's more endorsements, there's nothing to say."

"Sure..."

"Besides, the people in this country aren't the only ones I want to help. Same goes for the kingdom of Tysey. That country was developing so much more than this one, but the consciousness of the people in society doesn't seem so different, and there are still people in the region who haven't recovered from the plague and civil unrest, right? This country is where I was born and raised, and I know the situation and there are still a few collaborators, so it doesn't matter if I'm not on it. Now I'm going to help the people of the kingdom of Tysey."

Claude looked relieved when Opal declared his chest up.

Then I have a full smile.

As soon as he did, Opal's heart made a lot of noise, and from there he started hitting the early bell from time to time.

"Thank you, Opal"

"Duh, you're welcome? Oh, uh, I need to get ready to go out!

"Right. If it's too late, you'll be late for the newspaper."

"It is! See you later!

In the end, Opal fled the scene for the first time only as an evacuation.

Even though we're getting married and it's almost another month, I still get to Claude's little tricks and words.

When Opal entered the room and exhaled loudly, he managed to calm his feelings as he voiced and confirmed what needed to be done today.
