The Brain of a Duke Princess

"Restart and Reunion"

… And thus, we finally arrived in the territory. Of course we feel nostalgic after a long time away, having achieved the goal without further incident really struck our hearts with a wave of relief.

"Welcome home, Madam. ”

Led by Sebastian and Sei, every servant who lives in the fief appeared to greet us as well.

“We are aware of what happened during the trip. By all means, please take your time and enjoy a good night's sleep. ”

"Thank you, Sebastian. Everyone, thank you for your welcome. ”

I accepted Sebastian's advice without hesitation. Maybe because the pressure kept building along the way, I was really exhausted. Now that my mind had calmed down, it seemed like the burden was lifted at once.

I headed to my room while being escorted by Sebastian. After entering, I took a shower, then changed clothes to be more comfortable. Resting on the chair afterward, I drank the herbal tea prepared by Tanya.

"It's been a long day for you, Tanya. Please rest now. I'll go to bed soon. ”

"As you wish . ”

Tanya was also tired as expected, hence she willingly accepted my suggestion and retreated to her room.

Phew .. sighed, my body trembled while I hugged myself tightly. Although I do not have to face the attacker directly, thanks to everyone .. to be reminded that my life was targeted, even now, still making my blood cold.

Nonetheless, just because it's scary doesn't mean I'm afraid to make a move, and it would be ridiculous if I walked away from this. I need to find out about the origins of those bandits in a hurry, and there will be a lot to learn from there.

But for today, I have to rest completely .. and therefore, I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I lay in bed.

The next morning, I woke up at the usual time. Sleeping early last night, I thought I would be an early bird in the morning .. Well, I wonder if I was too tired yesterday. Thanks to that, I feel very fresh now.

The perfect morning routine started with me practicing yoga, taking a shower and putting on proper clothes. Finally I went to the dining hall, eating nostalgia in the fairground after a long time away.

"… iris-sama!"

Rime came in as I enjoyed my postpaid tea time. Even though he showed up to welcome me back yesterday, we haven't had an actual conversation so it's a bit sentimental looking at him at the moment.

"Ah, Rime. What's problem?"

“What's up, you said !? I was worried to death! Thank goodness you are safe. ”

“Thank you for your concern for me. As Rime could see, I'm fine now, so please don't cry too much like that. ”

"But…"

While sniffing continuously, her tears did not stop flowing down her cheeks. Somehow it returned memories .. Rime was also crying hysterically like this the last time I came home after my engagement with Ed-sama was cut off.

"I'm really sorry for making you so worried, Rime. You can stop crying now .. If you calm down, we'll talk a lot later, okay? ”

"O-OK …"

"O-OK …"

… That's right, calm down .. It's not just Rime's feeling here.

"… Madam. ”

“Uhm, Sebastian. I'll start working after this. Although I have received your report by mail, it would be great if I could see individual reports from each department. I would also like to hold an audience with each person in charge, if necessary. ”

The main priority is to understand the current situation as well as the completion of the documents that were piled up while I am not here. Now that I have returned to the field, this is what I have to do for now. Upon entering the study, what was in front of me was a mountain of documents placed on the table.

“Yes, I will take the time to read the document first. Please come when I call. ”

"As you wish . ”

“Also, please call Ryle and Dida for me too. ”

Those bandits from yesterday should be investigated, and since the process will take time, I better issue the instructions beforehand.

I started handling the documents after Sebastian left the room .. How long to finish checking everything, I wondered .. Just as I was immersed in thought for a moment, someone knocked on the door.

I expected Ryle and Dida to show up, but the one who arrived turned out to be Dean.

"Dean!"

I was a little surprised by the appearance of the unexpected guest.

I was a little surprised by the appearance of the unexpected guest.

“A long time ago, Milady. ”

"Of course ... As long as I'm in the royal capital, you must have been here once in a while, I guess? Thank you very much, Dean. ”

"By pleasure . Putting that aside, I have heard the news. Were you really attacked on the way home? ”

"…Yes nih . But where are you …? ”

Don't tell me the rumors have spread all over the region .. I asked Dean out of curiosity.

“This has been the talk of the city lately. For Milady to return safely is an incredible thing to know. ”

Therefore, I was a little relieved after hearing his reply.

"Thank you to the members of the guard, we've made it somehow .. By the way, I have some questions for you Dean …"

"No problem . Since I want to report a few things as well, without further ado let's start a business. ”

Our brief greeting ends thus. I asked Dean about some of the obscure points that have emerged from what I have read so far. It seems that when I'm not here, Dean and Sebastian are both responsible for running the business, so I feel really grateful that he stopped by at this point.

“... So, the ground readjustment project in the pot capital was completed. Regarding the family list, we have finished compiling every neighborhood on the fief border, therefore all that remains is the cost of ownership for the plot of land outside the fief capital. ”

This is confirmation of the progress of the work carried out before I head to the royal capital. Land ownership is a direct concept in the fief capital, as it has a large number of residential plots here. Exchanging standard contracts when conducting real estate transactions has long been a common practice. However, if one were to deal with the land outside the fief capital, such comfort would be reduced. It is common for rural types of areas not to have detailed records of location and ownership of plots.

"Absolutely. For clarification purposes, the eastern region was almost complete. As for the southern region .. especially cocoa-producing villages. Since their land ownership had been settled when they signed a contract with the Azura Conglomerate, this would take a little longer. ”

"Hmm .. With this speed, there is no choice but to go and talk to the residents in the area as soon as possible. ”

"Yes nih . Currently, the public affairs department is prioritizing their duties. At the same time, they also carried out the creation of residency certification in the fief capital. ”

"I saw . Please proceed as planned from now on. ”

When I returned to the mountain of documents, there was another knock on the door.

"I'm sorry we. ”

Entering the study this time is Ryle and Dida.

“We apologize for being late. ”

"It's okay, you two ... Then Dean, I'm sorry, but can you back off for a moment?"

The nature of the following conversation was not something that even Dean was allowed to take part in.

"No problem . In the meantime, I will continue with the tasks as discussed with Milady today. ”

Dean quickly walked out of the room.
