Northern Duchess
Chapter 146

Well Melody was not surprised if Marques said like that because it was true that he even had thought to display it and did not give it to Marques.

But fortunately his lust was out of his conscience, so he wrapped the sword and gave it to Marques even though he felt a little sick.

"Then Marques what makes you want to meet me?, there's no way it's just a simple thing like thanking me for a sword?"ask Melody.

A waiter came and brewed tea for the two of them, as well as served tea for them before walking backwards and leaving.

"Your Majesty is very sensitive" praised Marques as he drank his tea slowly, his every move so resolute and astounding.

"Is this about the Count?"ask Melody who seems right on target.

"It turns out you are more sensitive than I thought, Your Majesty, but before that may I straighten out and ask you a few things?"ask Marques.

"Of course, I have plenty of free time for you" Melody replied.

"May I know how old your Majesty is?"ask Marques.

"18 years some months will be 19" Melody said.

"Young enough to be a ruler" said Marques.

Hearing this, Melody smiled and drank her tea.

"Marques of age is not a measure to be a Sovereign" Melody suddenly said.

Marques who heard that also smiled.

"Of course it isn't, even the Emperor who is now presiding at a younger age than you"

Silence no one intended to blur the lines of conversation before Marques began to continue his speech.

"Then my Majesty came here because of the Count but also sincerely wanted to thank" Marques said.

"Hmm well, then what do you want to say about the Count?"ask Melody.

"Your Majesty I heard the Count is in prison for treason charges, I'm sure that if he doesn't do it Your Majesty!"marques shouted in defense of the Count by standing from his seat even to violently shake the table.

Brak!

His action made the teapot and cup on the table vibrate even Melody's tea is now spilled on the table

Glancing at her spilled tea with a calm face Melody waved her hand at the Servant telling one of them to clean the spilled tea.

A Servant now walked towards them and began to painstakingly and carefully clean the table.

"You're very supportive of him, I'm sure your relationship is very good" Melody said.

What was Marques jolting about when he realized that he was yelling while standing up and even pushing the table hard, and that he could spill tea?!

"I'm sorry for my grace, Your Majesty" said Marques and immediately sat down again.

"Hmm not something to forgive" Melody said lightly.

The maid who had been cleaning up immediately retreated after receiving a hand order from Melody.

"I know you're worried about the Count I'm going to release him soon because he's innocent" Melody said.

Hearing that Marques gasped and was shocked.

"You know I just became Duchess not long ago even it's not been a year that it's very difficult to manage a region that is destroyed to be prosperous it all takes a long process"

"And as for the Count's matter, the trial will be held in 3 days at the Supreme Court's place, so if you want to see him come in 3 more days"melody said long and immediately stood up from her seat.

"I'm a pretty busy guy, I have a lot of things to do, so I'm ready to go first Marques, see you in 3 days" Melody said and immediately left there followed by Sir Delice, and Sir Candra without looking back.

"Marques let me drive forward" bargained Sir Galon slightly bowed towards the Marques.

Marques who heard that got up from his seat.

"No need for me to go home alone, you go there to work Sir, I know Duchy is very busy for the next few years" Marques said before leaving.

Melody who has now arrived at her workroom is now back in front of many files there.

"It's exhausting, but fortunately Delice has done some things now just make new things to process"

"Grand Court I forgot that I haven't made it yet" said Melody, who is now limp.

He hasn't even done anything about it yet but how dare he say confidently that 3 more days in the Supreme Court of the Count will be in court?, enough to drive him crazy.

"Building can be dealt with quickly but labor is too difficult" Melody murmured.

Well actually that hinders the construction of Duchy is not a building, infrastructure or anything else but it is a professional and highly educated workforce!.

After all where could he find someone professional and highly educated in a place like this Duchy?!.

A place where not even the inhabitants could read and write a single letter!.

Thinking for a moment, Melody finally pulled out a brush and a piece of paper to write a letter, writing something on it Melody did not forget to give her Duchess stamp.

"It would be better if the building was made first" he said.

"Delice can you come in" call Melody.

Before long Delice walked into her study and bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty what can I do for you?"ask Delice.

"Where did you say Devian was?"ask Melody.

"Devian may now have gone on to become a superintendent" Delice said.

"Then leave this to him and tell him I want it done in 2 days" Melody said.

"Okay Your Majesty" Delice received the letter and immediately got out of there.

"That trial may be a while I can make myself a Judge and Delice and the others the rest" Melody said.

But he knew he could not forever rely only on some of that labor, because how they all could not touch all things simultaneously.

The thought later better read some of the reports that exist.

Some of them report that medical personnel have been able and started operating in a short time already have several patients but are still limited in terms of drugs.

Then let's send back the funds and the medicine again.

There have also been reports that schools have started running but some parents do not seem to allow their children to go to school and instead have their children work either at home or make a living.

Things like that let's put in things that need to be taken care of.
