Northern Duchess
Chapter 21

"Okay Your Majesty" Devian said and immediately resigned to carry out his duties along with the Knights, Pangawal, and Soldiers who in recent days have been very orderly.

____________

As much as Devian was now the atmosphere in the room was getting colder.

"I want to see how good the officials are" Melody said, based on the documents she had read so far many errors occurred, so it could not be denied that local officials were also involved, what else are the villages that before him pass through it are also like an unkempt village.

"Ah!?, what's not taken care of?, lest they take all the money?"melody said, thinking about it Melody clenched her hands, her teeth were also now grumbling she was so angry that even now her angry aura had pierced through the walls of her study.

He had never thought about that possibility at all, why didn't he even think about it?.

Mension Milian, South Duchy.

"Your Royal Highness Grand Duke has a letter from Young Taun!"secretary Duke Milian.

"What?!, my son!, what did he say?, did he need help" Duke Milian said in surprise, knowing this was bound to happen, he had already told some of his people to investigate the Northern region and the results were so shocking.

He could not even imagine what kind of struggle his son and Princess would go through, so he would definitely help them if they needed help, even if I'm honest he has made preparations so when the Princess asks for help he can directly send her, because he also knew that the help needed by Her Highness the Princess was not a small favor.

At a fast speed Duke Milian snatched the letter in his secretary's hands and read it.

"Hmm, money aid, and some government power huh?"duke Milian said while thinking, as expected by him.

"Send that" Duke Milian said in the end.

"Okay Your Majesty" Duke Secretary Milian said, bowing respectfully, and immediately left Duke Milian's room to carry out his duties.

Devian who received the order from Melody immediately went to cachet, and immediately met Delice who was still training the Soldiers.

"Sir Delice, this is His Majesty's order, he said we should go to the house of every official and take all the documents that exist after the death of the previous Duke" Devian said.

"Understood, prepare an army" Delice said.

"Good" said Devian and immediately prepared an army.

The Mension Duchess's forces were now splitting the City, it turned out to attract so much attention that the whispers of the residents who had long since not seen the Northern Mension Duchess's troops patrolling the City, were so shocked.

'What is this?'

'I heard from my brother who works at the Mension Duchess saying that the Duchess is working hard to build her territory again'

'Really?, I hope the Duchess is better than the officials around'

But before long the army was split into four parts while at the crossroads, and went separately, it made the residents surprised and felt astonished, guessing what the troops were doing?.

It was also true for all residents in the City when they saw the Troops continue to divide so much as they passed through an intersection.

What surprised them even more was the 2nd and 3rd round of troops who kept coming in large numbers out of the city and went to the small villages in North Duchy, this made the citizens think that there might be a revolution that would happen.

And the thing that makes the population more uproar is to detangan every army to the house of every official no matter whether the officials are small or large, even large, they would all definitely return with a huge pile of documents and immediately return to the Mension Duchess.

Melody is now in her study with her butler and even there is a housekeeper, as well as the head Chef Mension Duchess.

The cold and intimidating aura of Melody made the three now shudder in horror under her tremendous pressure.

"Your Royal Highness Duchess, what is it that you called us here?"asked the Housekeeper politely in cold sweat to be honest he had sweated a lot he did not expect the Duchess's clothes were now more frightening than the previous Duke.

"Do you know why I called you?"instead of answering Melody instead asked back.

"Not Your Majesty I don't know at all" said the Housekeeper.

"Can you explain this" Melody said as she threw various documents on the floor.

Plaque!

The sound of the papers hitting the floor so hard that everyone in the room was shocked.

"I don't know what you mean Your Majesty" said the Housekeeper trying to dodge quietly.

"Really?, is it necessary for this Duchess to tell you" Melody said with a cruel smile on her lips that made the three of them shudder.

"Then can you explain the evasion of money that happened Lord" Melody said directly making the Housekeeper shocked and shook all over her body.

"As a Housekeeper you cannot take responsibility and trust in your duties, what kind of attitude is this!!, answer!!"angry Melody made the Housekeeper tremble even more violently.

"Am_, pardon Your Highness, I was wrong" the Housekeeper chirped as he bent his knees on the ground, he could not avoid it at all at this time because he was sure that in the many piles of documents there were all kinds of very strong evidence for himself.

"Huh?, you admit it's good, then what punishment is suitable for you?"ask Melody.

"Ah I know, Pangawal drag him to the dungeon, until the trial time starts" said Melody who did not even bother waiting for an answer from the former Housekeeper.

Two Pangawal now entered and dragged the former Housekeeper, while in the drag he tried to beg for mercy to Melody but ruthlessly Melody did not even glance at her at all.

"Your Majesty!, please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Whisper!, quickly take him away" Melody's command was sharp.

The two Guards who heard that immediately charged towards the prisoner even harder to rush towards the basement.

"Ah and for you to come back, you guys have done everything well, especially you Head Maid, it's nice to have you here" Melody said praising the Servant Chief with a beautiful smile.

"Thank you Your Majesty the Duchess" said the Chief Servant as well with a delighted smile.

If it were to be honest if it wasn't for the Chief Maid he would never have known that the Housekeeper was so rotten.
