Semua Bab Let's Make You A Duke: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Today is the day we were heading to the palace for the summons."I'm so nervous. What should I do?" I said while we were waiting outside the audience hall."There's really nothing to do, right? Just stand and smile." Healer Jan said.He and Professor Xander were also called for their involvement in saving the prince."His majesty will see you now. Please proceed inside." One of the officers said when he opened the door.We followed him inside until we were in front of the king. I took a peak and saw he was in his late 40s or early 50s. He's well built but not too bulky. He had no expression on his face but his eyes held warmth in them."Greetings your majesty." We sounded a little

Two weeks have passed since we were summoned to the palace. People had heard of our heroic activity, some of them praised us, and some of them reprimanded us but who cares at least now they know that women can also do what men can do.  I heard from Lis that her father had proposed to let women with high magic aptitude join the Magic Army Division. This is already a big step in Lis' goal. "When are you returning to your duchy?" Wischard asked while we were having lunch in our restaurant. We probably come here every weekend. They love the food here and Greg also released a new food in the menu. "Probably on Wind 255." I answered. "Why not on Dark 251?" Xavier asked. "I to

Days passed by quickly and now it's time for us to travel to our duchy. Prince Stefan had finally graduated and now is a mature member of the society. I sighed thinking of that, I feel sad that now he will have a legit form of power but this could also be some form of opportunity for me.The more Prince Stefan shows his incompetence in politics, the more loopholes, I could use to cancel our engagement. "Wow, the carriage of the ducal house is really something else." Tille commented. "This is not from our house. It's mine." I replied. I customised the carriage for my comfort. I heard from Carmella that even if you use the gate to travel it'll still take us 1 whole day to reach the duchy so I asked Vincent if he could lend me a hand and customise a carriage for me. 

"My lady, the servants have been gathered by the knights in the main hall. Here are the reports I found on the study and inside the butler's room." Carmella said as she passed me a couple of books. I scanned the books knowing already what was written there.  "Head Maid Caliana, didn't you say the budget was cut? How come it says here that you're receiving the same amount of budget as 5 years ago? There's even a 10% increase from 6 years ago." I asked her. "I don't know anything. Butler Rumlar was the one who told me that the budget was cut. My lady, believe me. I know nothing of this." She begged. "Why should I do that? The castle maintenance being embezzled by you people. The proof is already right here in my hands." I asked.

It's finally the day for the guys to arrive, we are all waiting outside the castle door for them to arrive. There have been a lot of changes that happen in the castle since we arrived here. For one, we hired more employees for the castle and the castle management drastically improved under Head Maid Giselle and Butler Rydel. I have also informed my father about replacing the head maid and the butler. I told him in my message that Butler Rumlar and Head Maid Caliana were embezzling the funds and were selling the items inside the castle so I fired them and replaced them. I didn't tell him that Butler Rumlar also stole a part of the revenue the duchy was receiving. He didn't need to know that. He'll continue to receive the same amount anyway. I have informed Butler Rydel regarding the arrival of Xavier and the other guys last week. He immediately set off in clea
