Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter - Chapter 186
Return
The bell sounds …
One side of the area was filled with black curtains.
As expected, the king’s funeral was to be held shortly after it was announced.
I was expecting it from a while ago …. I thought it would be like that.
Princess Elle was shedding tears on the coffin as if she would die from sadness.
People of the royal family are all standing surrounding it.
Yuri who is only a fiance, of course, was with the royal family as well.
She is looking down at the king’s coffin, shedding tears.
Ed got close to her and dries her tears with a handkerchief worried.
Mr. Wang did not change from his usual resolute attitude, yet his eyes were those of someone sad.
I can not find the figure of the first prince.
Is he still outside of the country, or …?
I couldn’t get information about him even with Tanya, so he’s still a mystery.
Looking at the face of the people who participated, many people have a depressed expression.
Do they mourn the king’s death? or are they worrying for the future of the kingdom?
I was just looking at it like with a strange but worried look like everyone else.
At the end of the funeral, I left the kingdom immediately towards the territory.
On that day, when I heard the report of the death of the king, I told mother and Bern.
I must say goodbye for now.
Although father’s physical condition has not improved … I cannot remain here. There are lots of disturbing things that could endanger my family if I were to remain.
It is about Mimosa, and the powerful figures of the future aristocracy of this kingdom.
Well … about Mimosa, things will not change nor progress while the mourning of the king, and even if something happens the priest Rafshimonds will stop it.
As long as there is still turmoil in the capital, I’ll let the investigations continue and plan a strategy in the territory.
Regarding the powerful figures of the nobility in the future … I can not move wrong one step.
When the time is bad, better retreat, make a strategy and go again at it. If I am in the royal city, I will only be a good attack material for Princess Elle and Yuri.
I returned to the territory.
When I enter the mansion, I’m greeted by the total number of servants as usual.
“Welcome home, lady”
Sebas greeted me as a representative of everyone.
“I’m home”
As I look at everyone and say so, the greetings in the house also proceed.
“Sebas, please present me the new reports that came while I was away, and please summarize the reports by department, quantity of goods involved and quantity of people affected. If you also have a way to contact with Moneda, please call him. ”
Sebas answers quickly and went away.
“Dida. I’m sorry for asking you this soon after coming home, but please summarize the reports from the guards and bring them to me, especially recently as I need to know whether there are problems with the bank’s security system, and incidents after switching to the banknotes. Focus on the security of the cities.”
“Yes, Princess”
“Lyle has confirmed that there is no problem with personnel, goods, facilities, etc. in various places. When considering the future of the kingdom, it is urgent to check the security system. Please check that it’s well prepared and ready in case of an emergency. Because we have no time and soon we’ll need to apply it. ”
“Okay”
Walking while giving directions to each person, I reached the office.
New reports are being carried one by one to my desk by Sebas.
About the reports while I was away, Sebas kept pilling them in the form of a document every day in my desk.
Sebas is a hardworking person that I really appreciate, he always helped me.
I began to read through them quickly and organizing them.
While reading it, I divide the requests by what is needed to be carried out as soon as possible and what is not, and what we should check and not.
Sebas came in at exquisite timing as if he was measuring it.
Rather than listening him read the entire reports, I ask him various things about what I read.
Sebas is very organized and coordinated.
In other words, if you ask him you can grasp most of the contents easily. This speeds up the process.
I don’t know if it’s because of his role as a butler, or his disposition, but he is very good at adjusting his pace to others.
It is because he does everything smoothly that I can be relieved leaving him at charge while my absence.
“… It seems that there are no serious problems with the introduction of banknotes,”
“Yes, we are proceeding with no problem except for the urgent decision we notified to the Kingdom. For issues about the transition we do not have any problems that would require a correction to the system in particular. If there is, it would be the considerable number of people that have been spared from the bank notes system introduction? ”
“That’s right, but it is not the case that they will be spared of it … I’m sorry but this condition will continue for a while until I calm down and focus on it. Could you please recruit students with job experience in finances a little sooner?”
I have been regularly hiring students for a certain period of time in the form of part-time jobs since my excommunication.
For students as well, it’s a good experience.
“Everything seems okay”
” … However, I can not engage in the banknotes project at the moment, please keep checking it in my place for now.”
“Okay”
Well, I breathed deeply, relieved about the situation of the territory.
