Northern Duchess
Chapter 22

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.

__________

So that he was thankful enough to still have an honest person inside the extraordinarily chaotic Mension, he should also thank the Chief Servant of his blessing who always took good care of the Servants, too, now he can confirm that this Servant at Mension is very good.

Of course he could not trust the Chief Servant just like that, before this he had already told Diana to investigate it for a magician like Diana manipulating one's mind quite easily.

"And as for the head chef I want to thank his food so good I hope you can continue to work well, if there is something lacking you can tell the Chief Servant who may now rise to the position of Housekeeper" Melody said with a bright smile.

Melody's remark made the Chief Servant very surprised.

"Your Majesty!, I am completely unfit for that position, I am completely inexperienced, perhaps if it was Miss Diana she would be better than me"the Chief Maid recommended Diana as Housekeeper.

"Diana?, why do you feel she's more suitable?"ask Melody curiously.

"Miss Diana is very competent besides that she is also very smart and smart, she seems to have a lot of experience in managing a Household, she said, after all I want to serve His Majesty as long as I am alive" the Chief Servant said sincerely.

Melody who saw the sincerity of the Chief Servant only smiled she was grateful that there was still a normal person in this Mension.

"Alright if that's what you want, you can always serve me" Melody said as she wrote a letter and sealed it with the seal of the Northern Duchess.

"Give this letter to Diana" Melody said as she handed the letter to the Chief Servant.

The content of the letter was a statement that Diana would become the Housekeeper, the Housekeeper, it is very unfortunate that actually it can not be held officially appointment but how to go again for today in the future maybe he will not meet with Diana for a while.

"Okay Your Majesty" said the Chief Servant and immediately left from there leaving Melody with the head chef.

"Head chef if you can make some food like yesterday's cake, it's so good I want to eat it again" Melody said shyly, it felt like the image she would build as Duchess was instantly destroyed by a cake, who told me the cake was so delicious.

"Your Royal Highness Duchess does like my homemade cake, I am very happy, just calm down Your Majesty I will make it as soon as possible" said the Head Chef with a bright smile.

For a long time he had not received praise like this Duke before was also a person who was so cold so he never gave praise at all.

"Then I say no, Your Majesty" said the chef left Melody in the room with a face that was still flushed with shame.

"Ugh, it feels like dying" Melody said as she buried her face in her arms.

He can't believe he did that to ask someone for help even in his previous life he'd never done that, or maybe he'd just forgotten.

"Your Majesty"

A voice now made Melody regain consciousness, so she quickly put on a very authoritative face and posture.

Kriett~

"Your Majesty all the files are here" Devian said, saluting the nobility's ethics.

"Just put it there, and sit down and help me" Melody said.

"!!, you mean His Majesty told me to work, ah don't I mean His Majesty told me to correct all those files??!"said Devian surprised he did not expect that his good intentions would be used very well, for Melody and very torturous for him.

"Of course~~" Melody said with a bright smile, even the flowers were now scattered around her.

Didn't feel now Devian became stiff, is there still time to run away?.

Devian thought that it would be better if he just ran away.

"Don't think about going, don't you want to help?"melody said with a terrible smile that made Devian unconsciously tremble to share a rabbit in front of a lion.

"Hik!, I don't intend to run away" replied Devian who of course was a lie because he actually until now also wants to run away right now.

Finally forced to sit in a chair Devian, in front of him there is a table above which has a lot of files, as he remembers this table was not there before maybe Melody immediately added it when she said she would help.

With a frown Devian began to hold a brush and a file and read it carefully.

Melody who saw Devian had started work finally returned to work on her own.

But not long after Devian rose from his seat and took a new file to work on, it made Melody surprised and finally secretly Melody peeked at Devian.

How surprised Melody was to see Devian working on every file at an incredible speed that made Melody stupefied, because the speed was inhumane.

Devian who was aware of being noticed only smiled proudly towards Melody, that smile somehow felt so annoying in Melody's eyes but according to Melody the smile was also not wrong, there are things he is proud of.

"Devian, how can you do all that quickly?"ask Melody curiously.

"That, since I'm the Duke's only son then automatically I'm the heir to Duchy, so from childhood I've been trained to do it all, so, even on the battlefield the old man did not let go of me" Devian said with an annoyed face while clasping his brush tightly.

Somehow when Devian remembered it made Devian want to hit Duke Milian his own father, where was someone who was at war told to learn?!.

Looks like it's just him!, so unfair.

Melody who saw that Devian was very upset immediately understood what kind of suffering Devian was facing.

It's the same as what used to have to work while studying to get perfect grades to maintain a scholarship, of course what he did better than Devian but at least they were almost the same right?

"There's something that makes me curious" Melody said.

"What is Your Majesty" asked Devian.

"When are you at war?"ask Melody who made Devian stiff as a child.
