While the dukes were busy discussing war with Emperor Victor, the duchesses were busy having a tea party with Empress Amara.
Everyone was eager as they asked Duchess Amelia how she quickly regained her beauty and looked even younger than she was supposed to be.
Amelia, of course, also used Nova as a shield. She endorsed the new cream that Stella had made for her. It was also released as a Nova product so that she wouldn't be completely lying when she answered questions.
After all the questions about Nova, they also discussed war preparations due to the imminent war. The duchesses were in charge of taking care of the duchy when the men go to war.
As duchesses, they take over the duke's responsibilities while he was away, especially if the eldest son, the heir, was also joining the war.
They also have to make sure that the duchy had more than enough food supply and still produce more to send supplies to the battlefield.
