The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

"... Welcome aboard. Ma'am... I can't believe noble people like you are in such a small village..."

In a very frightened manner, the village chief of Celia village in Ease, Duke of Farrence, bowed his head deeply from his upright state.

"You don't have to behave too obliviously. You'd be a lot surprised to see someone like me suddenly. You'll be fine if you pull more shoulder strength and do as you always do. First, sit in the chair."

When I said that, the village chief gave Walter his gaze with a peeping look, and when Walter showed signs of nodding behind me, he sat down on the chair like a little relieved.

Due to my status, this is the village chief's house but its most uppermost seat, the chair usually seated by the parents has become mine, but there is no institutional choice there.

Rather, if I give this up, the village chief will be in a bad position, so this is the only place I can get him to spoil it.

I just couldn't fulfill the purpose for which I came here, even if I was too nervous, so I cared to have it done as always as I could.

The village chief

"So, sweet for your words, excuse me...... Again, my name is Teros, and I'm the village chief of this Celia village."

"Terrorist. I'm Duchess Farrence, Elaine Farrence."

"Also, of course I know! For the wedding fold about two years ago, it was from outside the church, but we were invited to attend..."

Me and Cleman's wedding took place in Naos, the Duke's capital.

From my subjectivity, it's pretty distant because it's going to be more than thirty years old, but objectively, it was about two years ago, and from the Duke's territory's inhabitants, it's going to be a new event in memory.

At the wedding, in addition to the various nobles and leading men, the chief of the village was invited by the people, so there was also terror.

I remember the wedding was held in the Diocese of the Territorial Capital, and then there was a parade.

However, I guess terror was outside because it was limited to those in a considerable position, such as high-ranking nobles and great merchants, who put him in the diocese.

"Outside. I'm sorry about that... there was a space problem in the cathedral too, so we can't all do that. I wanted to let everyone in if I could."

"No, just the words...... The beauty of Lady Elaine back then is still unforgettable. It's been a lifelong memory."

It didn't seem like all the flattery, and the look on Teros's face seemed a little upbeat.

I'm in a bit of a good mood that I didn't throw away either.

"Well, you're good"

"No, I'm being honest"

"Thank you, take it. Well, it's quick, by the way, but this time, may I talk to you about the purpose for which I came?

When you bring it up like that where the air has softened somewhat, the look on Teros's face is just a little nervous.

That's what the hell they're gonna say and what kind of impossible challenges they're gonna say.

Because right now I would be quite my Duchess from the people's point of view.

I haven't done anything that would do great harm to the people, but there must be some stories that sound pretty good.

And sure, if I were you before, I'd make my predisposition worse and worse from here.

But I don't mean that right now.

I say.

"I've been helping the Duke with his work lately, but there was a report coming up from this village in the paperwork I saw the other day. About that."

report, the look on Teros's face clouded around the

I immediately understood that it was about the operation of this village.

And if the aristocratic wife tries to say something like that, it's mostly not a lot.

Says Teros.

"… No way, would you consider reviewing the amount of tax, etc.? Recently, however, crop harvests have also been tough in our village, and no more..."

I can see the anxiety of the terrorists who said that early.

I felt sorry for him and I clapped before him and said:

"Oh, don't make it quick. It's the other way around."

"... Ha. And when I say...?

"As for the tax review... it's not for me to decide, but if I were to, it would be a relief, etc. My husband is well understood about the decline in yields in this village, so don't worry about it."

"It's...! Much appreciated..."

"I can't make any promises, so you know where it is. But it's also a secondary story… the most important thing is the decline in yield, the cause of it."

"Hmm. So this visit, to be confirmed directly?

"That's what's gonna happen."

"Really...... apparently you were extra nervous. However, as mentioned in the report, the decline in yield is due to beasts such as Mori Deer and Haunted Mouse Kiso, and radical measures are difficult... not much for you to look at in person..."

The village chief said that in surprise.

I came to see what I knew and I said what the hell it meant.

I can also understand you wanting to say that if it is indeed his position.

But from my point of view, I see something different again.

This is not because terror is incompetent.

Rather, he is quite good among the villages around here as village chief.

However, the amount and quality of information gathered differed between the Duke's house and just the village.

So as I nod to the words of Teros, I answer.

"Yeah, if you're right, there's nothing I can do. So you'll be free early then. And I want it to be."

The way I put it, Teros seems to be getting a little nervous.

Ask me.

"... What the hell is Elaine concerned about?

"Let me show you the fields and the villages before I talk to you."
