GECK!
GECK!
“Log,”
“I heard, miss Duchess called me,”
“Yes, Ellin. I want to ask you about the supplier of rare plants that Willberia has,” Tia said so, today she returned to her duties as Duchess. Thanks to her future self, Tia doesn't have to bother anymore to learn how to write and read in her current life. And also the Baron family still did not realize the advantages of it.
“I heard Willberia refused to export Calia plants to the empire. The Empire has helped the region a lot. Why do we refuse?” ask Tia.
“Because Willberia does not want to bond further with the Empire, quite limited to the friends of the exporter of the excess that each place has,” replied Ellin, the woman seemed reluctant to reply to Tia's question.
In fact, Tia knew why Willberia did not want to export the results of their Calia plant cultivation to the King's palace. Because, Duke Willberia's family is still traumatized by the dark times they have. And Adeis still did not have full confidence in the King. At least Adeis had only fulfilled the precepts of war, as well as exporting magic stones and diamonds to the empire.
In the original novel, both Adeis and Fiona's parents are killed by a black witch. The black magician was the second King's messenger from the kingdom. At that time, the second King insisted on retrieving Willberia's precious artifacts, as both of Adeis' parents refused, the second King ordered the black magician to kill them both and share the proceeds of his hard work. Actually Adeis also knew who was the mastermind of the incident, but he chose silence because of the influence of the second King is very great. And until now, Adeis managed to keep the artifact.
But, of course, from Tia's point of view, she slightly disagreed with that. Because, he believed the present King, the fifth king was very kind and wise. Should Willberia do fifty percent exporting with empire to be balanced, “This I will replace. We will export Calia plant to empire,”
“But Miss... you can not do that, even with your status,”
“Ellin, you know what about me?”
Ellin gulped her saliva, “I mean, it was an absolute agreement from a long time ago,”
“Calia plant will help the Vantulla empire. The small people of the region, half of their population has diarrhoea, do you not think about it?!” Tia held back her emotions.
“I am duchess at this residence, you have no right to stop me. Do you think all this time I just kept quiet with --Ukh!” Tia felt her head a little dizzy, but she continued, “I'll talk to Adeis, so you please come out,”
After Tia said that, Ellin actually came out. But before that, he had to think of what sentence was good to talk to Adeis. Tia knows this is a very sensitive matter, especially if Adeis is suspicious of her if Tia knows of the past.
The woman suddenly thought of the invitation of the princess who entered the Willberia residence. Tia thought, would it be good if he came up with a gift of Calia plants for her, besides that Calia plants would grow vines, and form new plants. At least something like that, made the palace have a little gratitude to Willberia.
...***...
Tia pressed the white scarf against her body, it was cold tonight, it felt like it was in the snowy regions. In one week, the guests will return to their respective residences, the closing of the event will be held a magnificent dance party at the Aqashia palace. Tia had no idea about such a dance, at most she would just dodge.
The woman came out of her bedroom, walking slowly through the hallway after hall, very quiet, calm, and peaceful. Tia likes things like this, but suddenly she wants to go to the library, looking for something that might make her sleepy. Lately, he had been a little unable to sleep well, his head was also constantly dizzy. At the very least, an adult romance novel would keep her a little entertained.
When he got a novel title that interested him, he began to open it, “Simple girl who does not want to die, and married the cruel Duke,” he said slowly.
The library is very quiet, the full moonlight makes the atmosphere around blue, as well as Tia. But suddenly the sound of the shoes startled him, he did not dare to see who it was. Tia could only hug the novel book she was holding while closing her eyes.
“There's something I want to talk about?”
“Oh?” Tia twisted her body slightly, seeing who the person who managed to scare her was. “Yes noble, Adeis?”
“...?”
“Sorry, I roamed.. in the middle of the night like this,”.
Adeis sighed softly, “I heard you want to approve Calia plants exported to the kingdom?”
“I don't want to discuss that,” Tia replied, tonight she wants to let go of her fatigue by reading a novel.
“Do you know if you approve the document?”
Tia tucked the strands of her hair behind her ears, she started her acting back, so that Adeis could listen to her well, “It's my job to arrange the exporting problem, I'm trying to do it, while you arrange the financial part and part of the duke's duties that have been prepared,”
“Not... I mean,” Adeis hangs his sentence, the man restores his hair, “You don't know the history of Willberia,”
“Yes majesty, trust everything to me,” Tia smiled slightly, she tightened the novel she had just picked up.
“Do you think with you being Duchess, everyone will think you are great?”
Tia furrowed both her eyebrows, “I mean... you?”.
Tia also did not want to continue acting like this, being gentle with Adeis, pretending to be innocent and innocent in front of her. He just wants a happy ending for him and himself.
“I shouldn't have sent that marriage letter, I shouldn't have married you,”
The deg!
“Bu... It is not so, I. I just do what I can do. You can entrust this task to me, if there is another task regarding the palace, I will give it to you,” Tia raised her tone a little, “What did you meet me just because of that?”
“Reject the document, let me take care of it,”
“Just listen to me this time noble, I will never make any trouble, I am sure the palace will be happy with what we give. Sometimes, you have to make peace with the past,”
Adeis looked at her for a while, she did not know what was in her mind, she could have betrayed him, so she kept watch and asked him directly. If he believed it, he wouldn't know in the future. But, does Tia know her past?
Tia pressed her hand against Adeis' cheek, she again smiled, and made Adeis a little sick of seeing her, “Let me finish, after all that's the Duchess's job helping her husband,”
Adeis brushed off Tia's hand, either her heart was really very angry at the time, but she could not reveal it in front of Tia. The man passed by, and left Tia alone there. As for Tia, she heaved a sigh of relief, but she still did not know if Adeis could change her mind if she said something like that earlier.
“But I hope, he can receive his documents.”
