All Chapters of Let's Make You A Duke: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

It's been three days since the guys arrived in the duchy and we all have started to get bored. There was nothing to see in our duchy as everything was a mess and I'm trying to get it back where it used to be. I have asked Xavier's advice regarding the management of the duchy and he said the same thing as Professor Xander more or less so I decided to follow their instructions and check our food and left it to Sir Danyll to take care of the security of the duchy. "Is there anything better to do?" Adekin asked. We were having our tea time after breakfast and I have to agree with him this time. I'm bored. I don't want to deal with the duchy problem right now. Anyway, the immediate problem is more or less resolved already.  "I want to move around my body." I said. "I

I built a wall of fire to buy us some time. The remaining knights were helping to evacuate those who were injured. "Sussie, attack those monsters that were able to get past the fire." I told her. I honestly don't think these monsters would stop unless we kill all of them. Should I burn the whole forest? No, that's a terrible idea. "Any idea how we can stop these attacks?" I asked Professor Xander. "Do you even know why we're getting attacked?" He asked back. I sighed and contemplated if I should use up my magic and kill all these monsters or should I save up my magic and just push back the monsters. "Don't do anything crazy." Professor Xander said when he saw my expression.

"I'm tired." I sighed as I put down the last document I'm reading.  It's been a few days since that battle with the monsters. I have been busy dealing with the aftermath and strengthening the defense of the duchy. I have started hiring people to build a wall surrounding the villages near the Winderswell Forest to prevent the monster attacks.  I've also hired the 5 magic users that created the mud bricks. I opened a small factory to create bricks with them. I've started a trade with Sussie's territory for their limestones. I'm thinking of creating cement. I've already started testing with the amount that was sent here before and I think I figured out the right amount to create a cement.  I've sent Alvin, the son of Head Maid Giselle, to act as the manager in the cement and brick factory I created. I

"Everyone here?" I whispered when I arrived at our meeting place, the stables.Everyone was wearing black clothes to help us hide in the dark."Are you sure you want to do this, my lady?" Butler Rydel asked worriedly."Yes, this is the safest way we could think of. Take care of the duchy properly. I trust your judgement." I said.Butler Rydel led us to the servant's exit near the stables. "Be careful, my lady. Safe travels." Butler Rydel bid us goodbye and we left the castle.We moved quietly until we reached a small river that is connected to Wolfe Viscounty. We're going to use the river to travel. It should take us before daybreak to reach the viscounty and from there we w

"Audrey, calm down. Audrey!" Professor Xander shouted as he covered my eyes and told me to calm down. I don't really know what I was saying but I'm sure I'm talking since my mouth is moving. I can't think straight. It was so gross, I have goosebumps on my skin. I want to burn the Violet Forest now. "Calm down. Calm down. They're gone now. Calm down. It's alright. They're gone." Professor Xander soothed me. "Have you calmed down?" Healer Jan asked when I stopped moving. I didn't know when Healer Jan arrived but I'm pretty sure he has something to do with my calmness now. "It was so gross." I complained. "Yes. Let me check if you're having some internal bleeding." Healer Jan s
