A few days after the banquet, Elaine and some of her maids moved towards the north. Throughout her life, she never had a helper. These helpers were also bestowed by the king on her.
RECALL
"I gave you the name Ayshwart as your surname. Ayshwart means prosperity. May your life be full of joy surrounded by good people. I also gave you two helpers to help you adjust your life there." King Julius decreed.
Giving a surname means a lot to Elaine.She who is an orphan and grew up in an orphanage often dreams of having a family and having her own surname. One of her wishes has been achieved.
..........
After taking 3 days to get to the north, they finally arrived at the mansion bestowed by the king. The mansion belonged to the Palace but had been left for dozens of years before it was fully granted to Elaine.
Even though it has been abandoned for decades, the condition of the house is still good and intact. It seems that this house is still well maintained. There are no weeds and the color of the walls is still beautiful. She felt satisfied with what she had.
From a distance, a man appeared to be running towards them.
"Welcome duke! Huff-Huff apologizes for being slow. My name is Basila.I am the butler of this house. Please come in, we are waiting for your arrival." said a man in his 40s was gasping to catch an air.
"Take a breath... There is no rush." Elaine said while rubbing the butler's shoulder to calm him down.
"Show the way to my room,please?. Are dinner ready? I'm hungry." Elaine said again.
"Dinner is ready. Let's go to the dining room first. A long journey should make your stomach hungry." Basila said as she reached forward to invite the new owner of the house and the land.
"Ah!Just leave your things in the hall. Later there will be another helper who will take care of it" Basila said while looking at Elaine.Basila stares at her for a long time.
"Why?Are there something here?"asked Elaine curiously.
"Urgh~I didn't see any wagons. That's all to the goods." Basila asked strangely.
Normally, nobles who move house will bring a lot of things. Not a single day will be spent on transport, but the person who was awarded the title of Duke recently only carried two horses connected by a carriage!.Is that the only thing she have?
"He doesn't have a lot of stuff. So can we go inside right now? It's getting late." said the male assistant bestowed by King Julius.His name is Seria Luenstella.
"I'm sorry, let's go in." said Basila.
........
A year has passed since his arrival in the North.Changes in the lives of the north people are gettin' better. From monster problems, finance and development have been successfully solved. She was also allowed to set up his own army to deal with monster problems as well as safety for the region.
Today she has a guest who is a noble from the center of the city. Purposes? She didn't even know but they came the day after their letter arrived in his hand. Quite fast. What did they use to get here. Magic?
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Come in!"
"Duke, the guests have arrived." said Basila.
"Okay! Take them to the waiting room." Elaine's direction.
She immediately finised her work and continued to go to the waiting room.
