Northern Duchess
Chapter 17 The Condition of the Northern Duchy

"Delice where's Baron?"ask Melody.

________________

"Baron Willton, could it be at Duke's ministry or at the Baron's residence?"delice replied he knew what the Master was thinking.

He's just praying that Baron Willton isn't the mastermind if he's the mastermind then his life's gone.

"Go to Mension" Melody ordered as she begged her horse into the city, the others also immediately begged her horse to follow Melody.

Along the way, Melody could see the buildings of the residents are very shabby, the poverty here is everywhere his streets are very irregular even many beggars begging here.

Looking at the elderly, as well as the little ones, and the residents of North Duchy having a shabby, emaciated appearance made Melody's heart ache.

"Miss_, please_, just a little bit_"

"Young Master"

"please"

"A little bit"

"Please_"

A cry for help that was more like a groan sounded in Melody's ear made Melody clench her hand and immediately stop, as well as the others.

"Delice feed them" Melody's orders were immediately embraced by Delice.

"Okay Your Majesty" Delice said, nodding.

He was followed down by their Pangawalers meticulously giving food to everyone, after all, when they get to Mension, they no longer need the food than they need and are wasting it, they better give it to those who need it more than them.

They all looked happy and lined up to receive the food that the Pangawals had shared.

Melody who saw the state of the people and the area became dizzy her head was pulsating.

In his past life he was not an official, nor an office worker, he was just a student with a medley Iq, not not his Iq mediocre but it was because of his lazy self studying!!, thinking of that he became a little regretful never learning economics lessons in earnest.

Seeing all his subjects, Melody immediately got off her horse and helped the Pangawals and Knights to distribute food, as she searched for information.

"Excuse me, ma'am, may I ask you a question?"melody asked politely while giving some food to a middle-aged woman there.

"What does she want to ask?"said the middle-aged woman.

"Why is this place like this?"melody said as she showed her grim expression.

"That is, the North tends to be remote other than that this area is often hit by monsters" replied the middle-aged lung woman explained.

"What about the administrators of this region, don't they take action about the monsters that always hit?"ask Melody again.

"Hump!, I mean there is a Baron and his accomplices, they do not care at all about this region, they just like to spend money with the existing treasure, he said, even the first defences that have been damaged were not repaired by them, besides local officials are also very rotten they just pass the evasion of money every day without thinking of us people"

"If only I had money I had been away from this bad Northern region for a long time" said the middle-aged woman smoulderingly.

Hearing what the woman said was enough to make Melody burn with flames of anger.

"Then what about the Knights?"ask Melody.

If Melody can be honest, everything that happened in the North is very messy, in this place there is absolutely no one to rely on, what that meant was that he had to fight from zero alone.

Thinking about it made Melody's head throb with pain, her head was now spinning, holding her head as Melody was about to collapse.

'Eh_?'

Puk!

"Your Majesty!"a swirl made him return to the real world.

That voice was a Devian voice that caught his body very about to fall earlier, Melody who felt dizzy inexplicably began to feel that her body was not feeling well.

"Your Majesty has a fever?"said Devian worriedly and directly carried Melody.

"Sir Delice, I will go to Mension especially duhulu, Your Majesty seems to have a fever" Devian said, without waiting for an answer from Delice, Devian just left immediately without waiting for an answer from Delice.

"Ah yes!"delice replied quickly he was also anxious but he would do the task given by Melody first, after all he believed in Devian that he could definitely take care of Melody well.

Riding his horse Devian positioned Melody in front of him with Melody's body leaning against him he just prayed and hoped that the events of that time would not be repeated today.

Thinking of that time made Devian's face flushed awkwardly.

Devian could feel a tight grip on his clothes, one hand holding Melody so as not to fall and another hand in control of the horse finally Devian begged his horse to go to the Mension Duchess.

Khikk!!

(Horse voice)

Not for not tuk tuk tuk!!

(Horse step sound)

From a distance Devian could see a luxurious Mension that was very beautiful and large very different from the one before even this Mension was probably better than the Imperial Palace.

Seeing Mension getting closer, Devian begged his horse faster.

In front of the Mension gate the two Guards on guard were aware of their existence without even asking them who, the two Guards immediately opened the gate even while Devian was still quite a distance away from Mension, perhaps it was because of the sparkling golden hair that only became the emblem of a member of the Imperial family.

Until in front of Mension Devian immediately got off his horse he did not even look back at his horse and just walked with a straight and flat face into Mension.

When entering the Baron was already there welcoming them all.

"Welcome Your Highness the Princess" greeted the Baron while bowing.

Seeing his appearance at a glance Devian could understand what was happening, he did not expect the wise and gentle old man in front of him was not what he seemed.

Indeed the saying, 'do not look at a person from his appearance' was very evidently true when looking at the current Baron.

"Yes, prepare a room for His Majesty the Duchess to rest" said Devian who only walked straight up the stairs without looking or glancing towards the Baron.

A Servant immediately approached Devian and guided Devian to the Duchess's room at the very top and most luxurious in all the rooms in the Mension Duchess.

Without Devian noticing Baron flanking his fists.
