As the train started moving, I remembered something important, then ordered the coachman to go somewhere.
It was quite a long journey, but finally we got there even though I was a Duchess, but I wasn't escorted by knights or bodyguards at all.
Because maybe they don't want to take care of me, but it just makes me happy because there will be no one to burden me later, or watch over me secretly.
We arrived at a quiet place near the forest, where there was only one house that even looked like it was about to collapse.
But actually there is the home of a very genius in this empire, named Chayton Aland, I got to know him two weeks ago when I went to monitor the situation in the Duke's territory.
Because if it's not monitored I won't know what is needed by the local people, and anything that could harm people's performance, because if I ask for the Duchess' job I have to know what's good or not.
At that time I was buying and asking some food prices in the market until I saw a man who was quite old, he was with great difficulty carrying his tools.
Then gave it to the merchants who looked familiar with him who were immediately paid a few gold coins, for his reward.
I just kept watching him, because I had the feeling that the man was going to face trouble, and it was true that it had only been walking for a few minutes, suddenly the thugs came.
Then annoying him, I saw him having a hard time covering up the gold coins, even though he just got it, but finally got caught.
Then the thugs forced to take the gold coins from him, I who could not stand their treatment immediately approached and helped him.
Namely by fighting it, the five of them were on my own, and within 5 minutes they were all lying on the ground, even though I didn't use a sword or a weapon with just my bare hands.
Everyone watching that put on an astonished face, and luckily I wore a long hood to keep it out of sight,
"Huh ..... this is nothing yet" I muttered to myself.
Whereas in the past, I could even be ganged up on by nearly 20 people and I can still live in peace after that happened.
The thugs ran away, then the old man thanked me and invited me to go to his place, then he showed me some of the things he made.
There I was also surprised because this old man was a very smart person, he understood a little about the theory that came from physics, even though the theory that was made, that on earth is out of date and will be underestimated.
So I decided to give him the steam engine blueprint which I made right there, he who saw it immediately stunned his eyes sparkled and his mouth smiled incessantly.
He asks how can I make this blueprint I said I only thought a little about the tool, he said this
"Amazing! Incredible!" And all the other words of praise left his mouth.
"But sir you must follow my rules, if you want this blueprint, in your hands ....." My bid
"Yes whatever it is, I have a lot of money here, or do you need a monster core? Magical weapons? Or some other great weapon?"
"No ... no ..., I don't need that, I just want you to make it and sell it to our mining only, no one can buy it from you anymore except me"
"yes, it's okay because I prefer you to give me this kind of knowledge, than money"
"Wow ... you have a passion for science huh?"
He replied to my words with a smile then he too asked
"Oh yes, you will own a mine? Is it small mining? Because what I know is not there near here"
"The mine is not far from here"
"Oh .... I see, and I also don't know your name, Madame."
I who heard his words smiled a little then opened the hood, and suddenly he opened his mouth wide in surprise and almost screamed.
He saw that the person in front of him was the ruler of this area immediately stuttered,
"Du ... Du ... Duchess! I pay my respects to you"
"Calm down I won't bite you anyway, so now you already know my identity, if I ever stop by here, don't be surprised, okay?"
"Of course, Madame according to your wishes"
I smiled briefly, the memory of two weeks ago came when I thought of the old man, until there was a voice of someone who had just thought of rushing to welcome me,
"Long live" I said to myself and got off the train
"What do you need from this deprived me, madam?"
"Have you assembled the machine?"
"To your liking there are more than 50 tools from the machine"
"Good. I can build 25 trains and 25 ships" I thought to myself
"That's enough. I'll send someone over here and get the tools. Oh yeah if this machine gets famous I expect you to hide."
Her eyes looked curious so I continued my words.
"Because it will definitely attract the attention of many people, not the exception of the crown prince and I want you not to give this machine blueprint for any compensation ..."
"But if she wants, then she has to come to me herself and just say my name is Miss Caroline, you could say it's a pseudonym okay?"
"Well mistress I will remember"
"Oh yeah, do you have a voice-changing magic stone?"
"Of course I have that very much" then he hurriedly took it back and he opened a box containing a ring crowned with emerald green stones like my eyes.
I took the ring and put it on my finger
"Even though it looks big, why does it fit?" I asked out of curiosity
He also answered that because this ring is a magic ring, so he can grow and shrink according to the user's hand, and if you want to make this ring can't be lost, you just have to make a contract with him.
"Huh .... what does that mean ???"
"So, if one day you lose this ring, it will always be found near you and it is the longest time to find it in one day." He paused for a breath, then continued.
"And surely this ring will always be found no matter how far it is, or want to be stolen and carried wherever it will be near you"
"Oh so I understand so I have to make a contract first huh?"
"You are right, if you want to make a contract with the ring, all you have to do is put a drop of blood on the ring and the contract is completed."
"But for example, if I don't want to be caught by other people, when I'm wearing the ring, how?"
"Madame, if you make a contract with the ring, the ring will only be visible to you and not visible to others"
"Amazing, so why do you tell me the solution if this chopped is stolen, because the only one who can see it is me?"
"It's because of the quality of the mistress, so it can be stolen, and if that person has higher magic power or has the same ring but different quality, he will know and if the person in front of him is a magician of a higher rank than the ring."
he said casually but suddenly remembered something and said in a persuasive tone,
"But yours is different, so Madame, don't be angry .... it is the most beautiful ring, which I have that almost no one else, even the King of Majesty has !!!" He continued seriously.
"Fine, I understand"
"Huh" he let out a sigh of relief then continued saying again,
"Why is yours different ?, because it's a legendary artifact that I accidentally got while visiting another country"
"I see, interesting too, so please get me a needle, I'll do the contract now" I replied
He immediately rushed back into the warehouse and took a needle, then helped me to stick it. Kejari, I grimaced a little and blood came out of my index finger.
Then the blood dripped on the ring and suddenly absorbed into it, I smiled with satisfaction and put it on.
"Okay, thank you. I'll go first" I said goodbye
"Goodbye madame, I will make sure that the machines will work very well"
"Okay I'm looking forward to it"
I also got away from there and got on a horse-drawn carriage, when I got home or you could say this palace I went straight to my room.
But just as I was about to go inside, a servant ran hastily and gave a salute, while in front of me.
"You are summoned to the Duke's office now mistress"
"What's the problem?"
"I don't know, madam"
"Well I'll go there now" I replied then headed for his room.
I thought and then said to myself "What is the problem, what? Did I do something wrong in my work or did I ... HM ... Ah !!! do "I said to myself.
Finally I arrived at his room, He who saw me, immediately said
"Where have you been?" he asked curtly I answered.
"I don't think you have the right to know my business"
"Well, it's up to you" he said coldly and then he said again
"You have to prepare tomorrow, we will go to my father and mother's house"
"Why now?"
"Do you want when else?"
I also thought because when we got married, we had never been to his parents' house at all, and even in Florence's memory, she had never seen what Edward's parents looked like, I was curious and lazy at the same time.
"How do you want to come or not?"
"Well I will come because it is rude to me to never visit your parents"
"All right, you just have to tell the waiter and they will prepare it, don't forget we stay there a week"
I also said yes then saluted and immediately left there, the Duke who saw me leaving immediately sighed heavily.
