Chapter 40

Arabella seemed to be acting fast, it was not until 3 days, she had already made up her mind. The answer is of course yes, where maybe Arabella has another option to refuse a good offer that comes to her.

Having agreed, Felix immediately sent a letter to Deron Zanibun as the bridegroom. The arrangement of Felix. Arabella was not sold to a foreign kingdom that she did not want. The king was also happy that having the young son-in-law of the leader of the Knights rose army would make it easier for the course of the war.

Despite Arabella's suspicions, she thought her father would refuse, but instead approved of both.

Thanks to the decision, Arabella grew bolder against Miss Venti, the Master who taught her.

Thanks to the news, Miss Venti of course did not dare to touch the princess who would be married to one of the war heroes.

Meanwhile, at the northern end of the coldest place. Two in San humans are adjusting to each other.

"This is the fragrant jasmine tea, Butler Camp purposely specially prepared this for you." James wholeheartedly poured the fragrant tea into the cup.

Freya just smiled clumsyly. Despite several interactions with James, Freya still felt stiff.

'What a weird thing, isn't he a busy person?' Freya felt a little strange with the behavior of James who sometimes likes to appear suddenly wherever Freya is.

Freya smiled, "Thank you." Freya received the teacup.

It is true that jasmine tea is very fragrant and soothes the aroma.

Although still clumsy, the two began to chat a lot about various teas.

It's been almost a week since Count Galo's family was in the north. Moreover, Killion is also in business, with the offer to become a teaching assistant at the academy. That's why Killion came to his father who was relaxing on the balcony while reading books of plants and animals endemic to the north.

"Dad, am I bothering you?" Killion came with a smile.

"Ah.no." Count Galo immediately closed the thick book.

"....?"

"I guess Dad was very comfortable living in the north more than James." Killion made a joke of his father.

Cunt Galo smiled, it is true that the north which he said was very cold during the winter even made Count Galo warm his heart. Because he was greeted with friendly by all what was in the uatara, ranging from flowers blooming along the road, friendly citizens, the owner of the castle who always treated him like his own father, he said, also the castle workers who did not escape the assessment. Count Galo really likes to be entertained here.

"Should I ask James to let Dad stay?" Killion was joking.

Well although it was convenient, Count Galo was only a guest. So lingering in comfort is not a good thing. Especially in the place where there are many people who need help.

"You're talking about Kill." The count replied immediately.

It is time for them to return to their silence, it is also time for them to return to the reality of their lives.

"We're getting ready tomorrow, so I guess two more days Well."

"Hm....." Count nodded his head.

"We should also tell James and Freya."

"Yes, Freya must also prepare." Count Galo furrowed his brows. Maybe they when to go home with an additional car, because their luggage becomes a lot. It was James who bought a lot of things to Killion, Count Galo and Freya.

After that, Killion and Count had a lot of chatter around the northern region that had developed and developed since James took the lead. The northern region could rise economically since the outbreak of the disease spread. James established many of his major cooperative affiliates of the field of commerce with various regions. The system is barter, the north produces a lot of livestock, so the meat and skin of many animals in production here. While the north needs wheat for daily and other food needs. Initially the north only sent raw goods, then here developed produce finished goods such as clothes, bags and shoes. James facilitated people who wanted to make micro and medium enterprises by facilitating licensing and cheap taxes to revive the economy of his region.

"North will not lose to the capital." The Count concluded.

James hired capable and professional people, not based on kinship because it was prone to acts of cheating in the name of family. The old Count knew very well how, collusion was rampant in the Kingdom of Wistoria, even many workers in the ministry who had kinship relations, eventually even causing widespread corruption everywhere. There are also those who even gave birth to slavery because family relationships cause a lot of responsibility for those below. That was why the Count did not interfere in the affairs of Killion at all, not because he did not care about his son, but the Count was quite confident in his children's abilities.

Their long discussion is over. Killion steps away to reach out to his best friend and informs his best friend of his intention to return to his territory.

Almost two weeks if they're still here tomorrow, that's enough for him to win himself back. James must also be busy and have to take care of his needs here covering his territory and war preparations. Killion won't bother you for long.

James must be on the field and training with his knights. Increasing stamina and testing each other many knights in done lately. Moreover, the affairs of the territory were already held by Baron Eddy. Exploring the passageway of the James residence mansion was exhausting, The wealth of the northern Grand Duke was indeed astonishing. The mansion was no less luxurious like the Royal Palace. Even the building here is built very typical considering the area also has special conditions. The garden is also very spacious, even here there is also a greenhouse, later the greenhouse is often visited by Freya because there are many rare plant collections. Not only Count Galo, Freya herself seems happy to be at the residence of Grand Duke James.

Put Killion in the field where he is at the end. Many men sweat there because they just finished training. Fortunately there is an open place, otherwise the smell of human sour sweat would have pierced people's noses. Even in the open air like that alone, Killion could smell the piercing scent of sweat. But it is indeed natural considering that the place is the arena of practicing knights.

Killion greeted the knights with respect, despite his status as a noble, Killion remained humble, as were many knights of noble origin, although generally many were also from the common folk. James did not distinguish his subordinates. He recruited those who were competent not just a mere status.

After his eyes loosened in all directions, it seemed that Killion did not find the person he was looking for.

"Who are you looking for?" one of the Knights apparently noticed the movements of Killion.

"Ah. I'm looking for the Grand Duke." Answer the short Killion.

"Unfortunately, Your Majesty is not here."

".....?"

"It has been a few days that His Majesty has not been in training. "

Isn't the situation a little strange, where the disciplined Grand Duke rarely misses class. That's what Killion thought.
