Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter

After the Conference

It took some time since the conference until the country finally quieted down..... Although it was only a few weeks.But in the past few weeks, the kingdom territories... and the capital have changed.The situation of the capital has improved considerably though Dean didn’t apply the plan he announced of distributing the goods purchased from other countries but instead collected from the aristocrats who have gained big amounts of riches while embezzling and trading with Twil’s country. At the end, the confiscated goods of the noble’s houses were enough and surpassed the required amount for the people of the entire country...The things collected from each aristocrat during the time that Ed was at the power were spectacularly well conserved by them and the nobles of the faction of the Second Prince.It is exactly as Moneda reported me.They also forcibly collected and distributed the cash from those items.It is also great that all fake coins disappeared from circulation.This is because merchants also started working again.The inside of the royal palace, of course, was confused and static.Those names Bern called at the meeting were forcibly removed from their positions until the official announcement came.The pending formal stuff was about whether further sins are added or not after investigations are performed on them....I forgot to mention, but -that- already happened, Queen Elle and Marquis Maras were obviously beheaded under the royal law.Count Monroe was also decided to have the same sentence.Their ranks as aristocracy were naturally removed, and their territories confiscated.It is a great sin that you were planning to kill members of the royal family and that you were in communication with enemy countries.The descendants of those whose names were called, even if they are allowed to survive, many will be sent to serve to monasteries or will be sent to seclusion for a lifetime.I thought that the kingdom’s administration would be chaotic, but it didn’t happen.Those who were originally under the First Prince, even though they didn’t have important positions, they were people very competent and with great knowledge in their respective fields. They assumed more important positions in the same fields of work they had before and were like fishes that got water.Today, I’m heading to Marquis Anderson’s house.I was swayed in the carriage and quickly arrived while looking at the city’s landscape.Not only my uncle but also my grandfather was waiting for me at the entrance.“... I know you’re very busy, thank you very much for taking care of me.”“You’re family, you do not need such a bow to us, sit there Iris.”My uncle gently told me when I lowered my head.I instantly applied what they said and sat comfortably.“About the recent matters, I’m very much indebted to you, grandfather and uncle alike. Even ... you personally sent guards and escorts to protect the Almerian’s Duke house and territory while I was not there, I would like to thank that. Really, thank you.”“Oh no, if there is someone to thank, that would be you as you helped the First Prince more than anyone, our country would not have survived if it were not for your efforts!”“Hahaha ...” My grandfather was laughing noisily as usual.“... It would be bad for my territory if he didn’t win, so it is only the result of thinking how to prevent that situation, you do not need to thank me.”My uncle smiles gently. That smile is the same as the one of Rudy. A sweet smile...“Honestly speaking, many things happened that made you the only one to have to ability to move. Mary, the only lady with most power in the country... only sister-in-law would have been able to achieve your feat but when your father was attacked your mother was rendered useless as she needs to protect her family, and we.. cannot move easily as lords, all eyes would’ve been on us at that time. So your actions Iris were the only salvation for all of us. ““... Mary doesn’t have to worry. Because he will not die even if she kills him.”“Whoa!”I understood their meaning so I also laughed together with them.“Well, but yet we’re still not completely with peace of mind about the future.” Prince Alfred ... How he is going to steer this country... ““It will be okay, Rudy is his right hand, and we know how good and sharp he is, I guarantee his guts”“... It seems .... The First Prince has the power to make his ideals a reality. His sister is also a wonderful person ... As a pair of brother and sister... And also, as royals I will support them with certainty. ““...Have you ever met Letizia?”A little surprised, my uncle asked me.I got it ... I talked more than needed. Even if I regret my loose mouth now, it is already late.“Oh, yeah, she is a very lovely lady and a wonderful person similar to my mother.”Were you convinced of my answer ... or would you keep asking me things....

But there was no further pursuit.“... That reminds me, Iris. There is something I want to ask you about what I heard a little earlier.”“What is it?”My grandfather rarely asks something, so I was tempted to know about what attracted his attention.“I heard that the Prince of Acacia came to ask your hand on marriage.”I got frozen at my grandfather ‘s words.“... Marriage?”Naturally I can not answer that question, because even I don’t know what to do about it...“Father, Iris is in trouble, we can not intervene on this matter.”“I’m sorry, I am worried about her, Louis wants for her to first consider her future, those words he said before were not a lie, we’re also worried about you Iris.”“There is no need to forcibly be a bride. You ought to do what you want to do and keep pursuing your way forever. If there is not any choice that convinces you, you can come to my house too. “At my grandfather’s words, I remembered what my father once said, and a smile naturally emerged.“Thank you grandfather. Thank you! For that matter, I will consult with my father well and decide what to do.”My chest hurts a little though...I already decided in my mind.Just that my heart is not catching up with my mind.I remember... Dean’s appearance at the meeting place.I missed you. I missed you so much... I did not want to see you... as I’ll keep loving you more and more every time I see you...He is the only one that shakes my reason....... As soon as possible, I have to move. I can’t keep pursuing impossible dreams after all.I made such a determination under a smile
