It only took a day to prepare to leave the island.
Gather various documents, newly updated maps of the island, reports, etc.
A ship laden with more than twenty days' worth of food and water left the island's port, which had become more perfect. The consul and his retainers were enthusiastically seeing the ship off at the dock.
Unlike when they came, the speed of Nobilis' ships and the Imperial Eastern Navy fleet was not that fast.
At that time, Agatha had to arrive earlier than the Mainukor delegation, so she was in a hurry.
It was a calm day without any storms. Agatha, who had spread out a parasol on the deck and was surrounded by Enoch and cushions on the carpet beneath it, picked up a parchment instead of a book for the first time in a while.
The man lying behind her slightly tightened the hand around her waist as she placed the quill and ink on a sturdy board.
“I think you’re acting a little different than usual today.”
“I remembered something I had been putting off.”
"Work?"
“Maybe?”
Agatha, whose honeymoon was nearing its end, was only then attempting to write a summary report on the negotiation results.
The man, who had only half-raised his upper body, rested his chin on one hand and looked down at the parchment. The quill moved gracefully, quickly filling the parchment with black ink.
"Your Majesty, the great and wise King Womilai II.
Your Majesty the Emperor's loyal subject, Agatha Nobilis, respectfully offers greetings to Your Majesty.
To conclude, the preliminary negotiations with the Mainukor Empire, as ordered by His Majesty, have been completed without a hitch.
Just before setting sail from Saint-Entrar, there were problems in receiving the list of envoys from Mainukor and starting negotiations.
She would like to request His Majesty to conduct an investigation to determine whether there was any negligence in the delivery of the said document.
Amid all the hardships, I'm attaching the well-concluded pre-contract for Pahlavi Island between the Mainukor Empire and House Nobilis.
In the future, free trade with the Eastern Continent will be possible using the Mainukor Empire's seas.
May the prosperity of the transit point, the island of Pahlavi, and the city of Saint Antrare, lead to the glory of the Empire of Darroxbad and His Majesty the Emperor.
I will post a detailed report upon my return.
A loyal noble of the Roxbard Empire and goddaughter of His Majesty, who has been counting the days until I can meet Your Majesty.
Agatha Nobilis"
Enoch read the letter and let out a small laugh.
“Why did I say the answer was probably?”
"Is it okay?"
“I regret that I cannot see Your Majesty read this letter in person.”
Agatha smiled brightly. In fact, it was more of a threat than a report.
It was the Emperor who delayed the delivery of the list of delegates from Mainukor and also prevented her ex-husband from appearing as the representative of the delegation.
Even though Agatha knew everything, she was asking for the truth to be revealed.
The Emperor, who was delighted with the good outcome, but also realized that his only goddaughter was extremely angry, might have had mixed feelings about her returning and would have a headache.
'Yeah, who told you to do something like this?'
Agatha smiled beautifully and kissed Enoch on the cheek.
“Just wait and see. You will be paid accordingly.”
She buried a stalk of purple statis and handed the sealed letter over to her maid.
“To the palace.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
The letter was delivered to the palace through messengers and couriers in less than ten days.
Rumors suddenly spread throughout the capital that His Majesty the Emperor's mood was fluctuating between heaven and earth.
The rumor continued for two weeks until Agatha returned to the capital.
Dagdak, dagdak-
One day when the heat was at its peak.
After a long honeymoon of about two months, the Marquis Aratus and his wife returned to the capital.
The news spread like wildfire through the mouths of those who saw the flags of Aratus and Nobilis marching down the street.
The place where Agatha unloaded her luggage was the newly renovated second mansion of the capital city, Nobilis.
The procession passed along a well-groomed road lined with fragrant summer flowers and green trees, past a fountain, and stopped in front of the main house.
“Welcome, Marquis, Madam. I hope you had a nice honeymoon.”
The head butler, Allen, was leading his servants out to greet them. The butler's face brightened as he saw Agatha smiling and getting out of the carriage with Enoch.
“We have a nice trip. How’s the situation at the mansion?”
“The basic arrangements have all been completed. The safety check and the mansion perimeter have also been completed safely with the help of the First Vice-Captain of the Knights of Aratus, Sir Leon Takran, and his knights.”
Agatha's gaze fell on the knights waiting on one side. The young vice-captain and knights in uniform immediately saluted.
“Leon Takran, First Vice-Captain of the Knights of Aratus, greets My Lord and My Lady.”
“I’ll get the report later. This way.”
Enoch, who had called the knights, introduced them to the First Vice-Captain. He was the second Vice-Captain of the Knights of Aratus that he had come to know, following the Second Vice-Captain, Hubert Karwen.
Unlike the cheerful personality of Hubert, he was an impressive knight with calm eyes and a gentle personality.
“Nice to meet you, Madam. I am Leon Takran, First Vice-Captain of the Knights of Aratus. I regret not being able to join you on this journey, but please call me whenever you have to go out in the future. I will do my best.”
“Thank you, Sir Leon.”
Just then, Agatha heard Hubert grumbling behind me.
“Even so, the position of Madam’s bodyguard is mine.”
“I guess you’ve become quite close with Madam over the past two months?”
“Then. So I even carried your parasol?”
The gentle-looking knight accepted Hubert's words without even blinking.
“If you have developed a friendship with Madam to that extent, it is now my turn. In the castle, I will be able to exert more power than you, who has superior offensive abilities, since I have better defensive abilities.”
While Hubert was good at quick maneuvers and pursuit, Leon was a knight with excellent Mercury and operational skills.
“Isn’t that so, my lord?”
Leon, Hubert, the knights, and Agatha, who had been listening to the two vice-captains' debate with interest, looked up at Enoch.
Enoch nodded nonchalantly.
“In the castle, Leon is in charge of guarding my wife.”
“How could you do this to me, my lord!”
Hubert screamed with his face full of betrayal, but Enoch didn't even flinch.
“When going outside, the second vice-captain takes charge.”
Agatha turned around and smiled slightly as she was escorted by Enoch.
I guess I'm starting to see how this order is run?
Butler Allen took the lead, following behind him into the main mansion, Agatha whispered softly.
“Enoch, are you on vacation until tomorrow?”
“Yes. Is there anything you want to do?”
“I was thinking of going to get clothes fitted together, but I was wondering if it would be okay if Sir Hubert came with me as an escort tomorrow.”
The man who had been standing still smiled faintly.
“Hubert would love that.”
Before leaving for their honeymoon, they had specified all the chandeliers, tapestries, artwork, and decorations, so the interior was bright, unlike a mansion that had just been renovated.
The fourth floor of the main mansion was a space exclusively for the master and his wife.
The central hallway and the master bedroom in the center are divided into the husband's area on the left and Agatha's area on the right.
The master bedroom was used when they were officially married, and it was common for them to live in their own private bedrooms during normal times.
Enoch, who had escorted her to the inner room, kissed the back of Agatha's hand and said.
“I will come at night.”
From that night on, Imthet always slept in the same bed.
Even after returning, life remains the same.
This time, those days would continue in her bedroom. Agatha's ears turned slightly red.
“Yeah, I understand.”
“I might be a little late because I plan to check the security of the mansion. In the meantime, turn off the lights and go to sleep.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll get some rest.”
After saying goodbye to Enoch in front of the inner room, Agatha soaked in the bath while looking out at the beautiful summer flowers.
Looking at the perfectly manicured garden, she was reminded of the desolate backyard of the Aratus mansion.
'Now that I'm back, I should take a look around the Aratus Mansion.'
She doesn't know if her husband's sister, Isabelle Aratus, is still staying at the Aratus Mansion in the capital.
Because she didn't see her the first night she stayed there.
Agatha, blinking slowly, moved out of the warm bath. Decorating a mansion was not something that could be done in a hurry; it was a problem that needed to be solved over time.
There were more important things to do now.
As the water dripped down, the maids around her covered her naked body with a long bathrobe.
“What about the first assistant?”
The answer came back immediately.
“I understand that you are organizing the materials brought from Palavi Island here.”
“Oh really? Then it must be on the third floor.”
As Enoch said, it would be good to get some rest, but first, a formal report to the Emperor had to be submitted.
First of all, she decided to go to the costume shop tomorrow.
“I have to go to the office. Tell the first secretary to come into the office.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Agatha, dressed in a simple indoor dress, headed to the third floor.
That night, before Enoch arrived, the completed scroll was brought up to the palace of the Emperor.
