Queen Sword's

Eps 72 Count's Territory

After leaving the Castle of the Magic Tower Ferderick was back on his horse, the footsteps of the horse continued to slowly advance while his mind was still in the magician's castle,rattled by the Great Witch's remark about the rest of the time that Rubia had, he could only continue to blame himself for the situation that had happened to Rubia, he should have healed him so that such a thing would not happen, he should not have listened to the words of Rubia which forbade him, he should not be afraid and worried if Rubia hated him after he made his own decision, the thought of regret continued to ring in his head.

He walked through the market in his territory, this was his first time passing through market settlements and residents after his title was passed, because all this time he continued to focus on being beside Rubia, his eyes were stunned as he began to notice the countless children and old women begging along the crowded market street between the lined merchants, a sight he never saw when his father became the ruler of Belua.

He began to turn his mind to the scenery he had seen all this time, what had he done after he regained his title as a Count? He began to again blame himself, the title he earned with difficulty, hope Rubia gave the title to him, he felt he had failed to do anything in his life.

The more Ferderick goes into the settlement of the previously abandoned territory without a leader it looks so chaotic, a lot of poor people starving on the side of the road, agricultural land that should be fertile is partly only grown by wild grass, how do the inhabitants of Belua survive so far? This was only part of the area he could meet on his way, he was sure that in the region out there had a much worse situation than what he saw today.

Ferderick arrived in front of his residence, a knight guarding the residence fence approached him and brought his horse into the stable, then he walked into the residence, Tomy and several servants greeted him.

"Master Count how can you just go home after you do the title endorsement?Did something happen? You didn't even send a letter, do you know how worried I am as well as young master Kaisan?" he said with a worried face.

"I'm sorry Tomy, there's something going on in the palace, so I'm by the Emperor's side, where's Kaisan? Is he eating well?"

"Young Master is studying together with his teacher, he is eating well"

"Good" They walked together and stopped in front of the study used by Ferderick's father.

"Mr Count, after your title endorsement ceremony there were people sending letters, and I've collected the entire Belua area report from each village head at your desk, I've compiled all the details, you just check them out"

"Well, thank you Tomy, thanks to you, I won't have any trouble"

"This is not what Mr. Count is, I always feel satisfied if I can help your work and your late father, I am sure in the future you will become a greater leader than your Father, he said, because you are so similar to him"

Ferderick fell silent, and Tomy's hopes were overwhelming for him to lay down his life for the Emperor, "Thank you for everything Tomy I will do my best to do my duty for the rest of the time" he said with a stark look.

Suddenly Tomy was silent for a moment "What do you mean during the remaining time?"

"Huhuh?" Ferderick did not realize what he was saying, he accidentally said the thing he had in mind.

"Are you planning on going somewhere?"

"No, I just think anything can happen in life, right, the rest of the time doesn't mean a little stay, right? Hahaha this is you" Ferderick laughed blandly, while Tomy still felt suspicious as hard as Ferderick denied but Tomy chose to think positively because this was the beginning of the rise of the Count family, but Tomy chose to think positively because this was the beginning of the rise of the Count family, and he believed in his master.

"I understand"

"Ah Tomy, you must be busy if you continue to help my work, take care of Kai's needs and household affairs, if you don't mind finding someone who can be my assistant, because it seems like I still have to visit His Majesty often"

"I feel good about my job, sir, but if it makes you calmer I will try to find someone who is competent in his field"

"Yes, it would be better for you, and open a job opening for the Count's residence knight position"

"Wait a minute Tom" Ferderick suddenly remembered something "I have some acquaintances, it seems I myself will gather an army of knights"

"Well, is there anything else you need?"

"No, you can go"

"Well" Tomy left after saluting him, then Ferderick went inside his study.

The brown room filled with memories with his father, the trail left by his father who spent more time in the place still looks the same, he touches a large painting on display next to the desk, a painting of his father, mother, himself and Kaisan when he was very young, from the painting it looks he is very similar to his same father who is equally black-haired and Kaisan is very similar to his mother who has silver hair.

He stepped closer to the seat, then he began to close his eyes thinking of the steps he should have taken before he removed Rubia's curse, his head nodding in a nod after getting his own decision. He plans to prepare Kaisan as the next head of the family by making him learn more about the work as the leader of the family and the region, then he plans to settle and overcome the problems that occur in his homeland, he will make the region back into a prosperous region and facilitate the work of his brother later after his departure, at least at this time he must do so so that Rubia and her parents in heaven will not be too disappointed with the decision he will take later.

Ferderick began to read the file of reports that had been stacked on his desk one by one, his face began to wince as most of the reports he received from every part of the region did not correspond to what he had seen in the poor, populated, neighborhoods, starting from the agricultural products, trade and budget of each region, all that looks good without problems and very neat, all that, there was only one thing why they gave a false report to the young ruler of the territory and had just returned after such a long time.

'Tok tok' Someone knocked on the door of his room.

"Come in" he said after stopping his work.

Kaisan opened the door and walked in front of him "Kai, what's wrong? Have you finished your studies?"

"It was over from this afternoon, did you not see from the window that it was dark" He pointed at the large window that was located right behind where he was sitting, and Ferderick looked at the window, time passes very quickly when he is busy. He turned back to Kaisan.

"Have you had dinner?"

Kaisan shook his head "I'm waiting for brother to eat together, is sister still busy after three days not coming home and instead staying in the palace? Did you care so much about His Majesty that you didn't care about your brother's sister? Don't you don't you prefer to stay in the palace? Pdahal we just returned home after a long time" his grunts vented his frustration for these three days.

"What did you say? You're not a kid anymore, you have to be independent and get used to living without me"

"Let's wait until I grow up, brother, now I'm not grown so I don't have to do that"

"Hey you can't be childish, I'm serious you're gonna grow up soon"

"Yes yes, let's have dinner first, you talk a lot kak hahaha" Kaisan approached her and dragged her sister out of her room.
