Northern Duchess
Chapter 16 North Duchy

Melody who heard that immediately stood up and walked towards the hand wash, after washing her hands she again sat on her chair.

______________

With the joy and smile Melody ate, of course she still wears ethics, although she never learned but somehow her body has adjusted, he said, maybe it was an effect because her body was already used to being very graceful and polite?.

After eating did not forget Melody wiped her mouth with a handkerchief that was always taken wherever she went.

"Why are you still cooking at this hour?"melody asked curiously, she was quite knowledgeable about it.

"Hmm, actually at night I always feel hungry so usually I will go out to cook and eat by myself, besides I told the innkeeper about it, I just pay more money and clean up my dirty things, that's all" Devian said as he stood up to clean up empty dishes and wash them himself and Melody's dishes.

"That's it" Melody said she was quite awkward having to talk to Devian after the incident earlier this afternoon.

Inadvertently his eyes caught a wound on Devian's cheek.

"Ah~, his wound"reflectively Melody got up from her seat and ran to Devian's adah, as well as touching the wound on Devian's cheek, she said, making Devian who was washing the dishes surprised so he turned towards Melody, making his position now sandwiched between the wash with Melody whose face was getting closer to her.

It made Devian reflect back his face, because he was very surprised by Melody's reaction.

"Your Majesty it's okay" Devian said still with a surprised face.

Melody herself was also surprised by the reaction of her body, just now she was sure it was not at her will that she made that move just now what was it from the original Melody body?.

"Are you sure?, this looks pretty sick" Melody said quite worried because it also seemed like the wound was because of her.

"Yes this is okay, besides injuries like this are still fairly small" Devian said

"Really?, don't tell me there's another wound?"melody said suspiciously as she raised one eyebrow to say 'you really don't lie'.

"No Your Majesty!, I'm fine" Devian said as he touched his wound.

"Oh, is that right?"melody said, but of course he was not so sure, according to him Devian's words were full of lies.

"Your Majesty I'll be back first" Devian said as he re-cleaned his laundry and quickly ran out to the kitchen, he forgot to take a shower yet!!.

Melody could only see him before she even had time to respond to anything.

???!!!!

"What?, what's wrong???"melody asked herself while tilting her head still staring at where Devian had gone just now.

Now that the sun was shining brightly, Melody was also now preparing on the horse, but her mind was now somehow thinking of the strange Devian attitude from last night.

Devian seemed to avoid it continuously and it made Melody wonder in her heart and mind what was wrong??.

"Hey, my uncle has it wrong?"melody asked randomly to the Guards standing beside her.

The sudden question Melody made the Pangawal wince.

"That's somehow I feel like I've sinned against Devian" said Melody who once again surprised the Guards.

"Did I do anything wrong?"ask Melody again.

"Ah!, maybe it was because yesterday, I don't think Sir Devian was angry with His Majesty maybe he was just embarrassed?"said Pangawal who somehow has a bright smile there, even now Melody can see the filter of flowers and stars scattered around her.

"Yesterday?, what was yesterday?"melody asked with a confused face.

"Yes Master!, it is fitting that Mr. Devian looks angry, it turns out that His Majesty forgot what His Majesty has done" said Pangawal was surprised by a fact he had just learned.

"Why me?"ask Melody again.

"When His Majesty fainted, Mr. Devian one horse with His Majesty, but innocently His Majesty continued to move on Mr. Devian's horse and subconsciously His Majesty turned to face Mr. Devian and wrapped his legs and hands around Mr. Devian's waist like a bolster pillow"said the bodyguard who made Melody gawk at her.

"Huh?"that word is what is coming out now.

"And even then His Majesty still did not want to calm down and even continued to lie on Mr. Devian's lap, making Mr. Devian look restless, he said, Your Highness I'm afraid if it's not your Lord Devian now it's already a woman and no longer a girl"said the bodyguard again without a filter that made Pangawal who had just stood next to him immediately shut his friend's mouth while timidly staring at Melody.

Melody herself now has a stiff body like a stone with cracks all over her body, she did not expect to make Devian in the most severe ordeal of her life.

After some thought yesterday did they not go through many villages to get here?, does that mean that many citizens are watching?!!

Crushed already his image~

It seemed that Melody now had a soul that floated freely in the air.

'Why don't I just die' Melody's mind was so ashamed.

"How can time be repeated?"ask Melody without a soul.

"What?, Your Majesty??"a voice full of question marks now sounded from the side it turned out to be Delice.

"What's wrong, now what's Delice?"asked Melody who was conscious but still she felt that her soul had not returned fully.

"That's Your Highness it looks like we'll be arriving in the North Duchy soon, just walk there for an hour and we'll reach the gates of the North Duchy" Delice reported.

"Well let's go quickly" said Melody who suddenly beheaded her horse quickly.

He really did not have the face to be there any longer, unconsciously now his face and ears reddened.

While all the troupe that saw Melody had gone first immediately beheaded his horse quickly also to catch up with them.

Now that they had finally reached the North Duchy, the gate of the North Duchy was quite shabby and rusty it made Melody frown.

What's more, when he saw that the gates of the North Duchy were left open in addition to the non-existent Guard, it made a thought and a bad guess slip into his mind.

"Delice where's Baron?"ask Melody.
