The aide who was nearby also agreed.
“I couldn’t believe it either. But this is definitely her handwriting. The square table format that she created is truly revolutionary!”
"Hmm."
As the Duke gestured for him to continue speaking, the aide calmly explained the situation in detail.
When the aide returned to his office, he first sighed when he saw the five pieces of paper dangling from his desk.
Well then, he guessed so.
It is clear that the Princess eventually ran away because she couldn't stand the paperwork.
The aide, who was checking the video recording artifacts in the office to see if she had been sitting for an hour, was surprised to see the Princess sitting still for five hours.
The appearance of someone concentrating on something and writing diligently.
Surprised, he hurriedly looked closely at the five pieces of paper the Princess had left behind.
The aide, who was a close associate of the Duke of Argenthoz, also had an extraordinary intellect and understood the table Yvonne had created in an instant.
The sales volume of items sold at the Martha branch was visible at a glance.
In addition, they were able to quickly determine what items were selling best in each store in the MARTHA branch.
The aide, impressed by Yvonne's ingenious idea, shouted loudly at the Duke of Argenthoz.
“As expected, the Princess is a genius!”
“Ahem. What about genius?”
The Duke, who was feeling uneasy as his aide started making a fuss, coughed in vain.
“I knew you were smart since you showed such talent for magic, but to be this smart! I’m surprised.”
“Ugh.”
The Duke, overcome with a strange feeling, deliberately covered his mouth with his hand.
In fact, all the reports and evaluations about Yvonne have been negative.
Although his daughter had great magical abilities and skills, her behavior was extremely bad.
Praise came only from Varden's side, the eldest son and designated successor.
His daughter, who has lived as a free spirit until she turned twenty, just gave up.
The Duke's lips twitched for some reason when he first heard praise for such a sore thumb.
Yeah, that's right.
Yvonne was originally smart and bright, but her personality was a bit strange.
As he was also a father, he felt very good when he heard others praise his child.
“Of course, since she is of Argenthoz bloodline.”
He tried my best to keep his expressions low and answered bluntly.
“That’s right! So, Your Excellency, how about we use this organizing method that she has created in all the branches of the Horses?”
The aide with sparkling eyes was sincere.
The uppermost sphere at the top of the hose is the Argenthoz Duke.
So, documents from all branches across the country were flooding into the Argenthoz Mansion, and even without that, the workload was too much for the Duke, the owner of the Magic Tower, and others to handle.
He wanted to organize all of his documents simply.
However, the aide was very happy because the Princess, who had a very strange personality but was very intelligent, had done it.
The Duke of Argenthoz thought for a moment, rubbing his chin, then ordered Yvonne's personal maid to be brought over.
Yvonne's personal maid, Carol Demirant, was surprised to be called in so suddenly late at night, but calmly bowed her head before the Duke.
“Meet the Duke.”
“Yes. Raise your head. I have something to ask you. Has anything changed with your master lately? You must know, since you are the one who serves her closest.”
“Oh, Your Excellency. Hmm, that’s...”
Carol opened her eyes wide and looked at the Duke of Argenthoz, clasping her hands together.
The Duke of Argenthoz is the owner of a dignified and stately mansion.
But he was neither choleric nor violent like Princess Yvonne.
And the richest and most outstanding magician among the four pillars that protect the empire, the founding fathers, and the Dukes.
He was a Duke who was respected and admired by many.
Carol, knowing that he was capable of rational conversation, slowly brought up the story that had been on her mind for a long time.
“I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have this opportunity, but I really wanted to tell you, Your Excellency.”
“What’s going on?”
“That, that... In fact, the Princess has been quite depressed since she was put on probation for throwing a bomb at the Nasiel district.”
“... depressed?”
The Duke, who had received the unexpected report, sat up in his seat.
That Yvonne is dead.
Yvonne Argenthoz, who didn't even blink an eye, no matter how loudly he scolded her or how severely he punished her?
'That's ridiculous.'
Yvonne's personal maid continued speaking.
“That’s true. The Princess has also reduced her food intake. She only eats half of what she used to.”
From a young age, Yvonne was a big eater, eating six meals a day.
But these days, she pats her stomach as if she is satisfied, even if she eats only three meals a day. Although she was afraid of making Yvonne angry, she couldn't say anything, and the maid and the chef were very worried.
"Hmm."
The Duke stroked his chin.
“And how depressed she is. She used to be out and about all the time, and she used to enjoy horseback riding, but now she’s just lying in bed for six hours a day. Like... a sloth. She’s just so listless.”
Carol said glumly.
She would have preferred a Princess who screamed sharply and burned or destroyed things indiscriminately.
Carol felt very uneasy as she watched Yvonne lying there, laughing sinisterly and lazing around without saying a word.
“Yvonne, she's just staying in her room?”
The surprised Duke and his aide looked serious.
“Yes. Even though she is on probation, she can still call merchants. However, she does not buy jewelry, let alone dresses.”
“What?”
“And then, she just looks around and touches the jewels and dresses her own. As if... She wants to organize everything. So affectionately.”
Yvonne was not a good hostess, but she was still a mistress and a master to Carol.
The cold gaze that was glaring at her was still there.
Carol was glad to have a master who was both charismatic and doll-like in appearance.
It was also quite fun to see Yvonne in a pretty dress and jewels.
She clasped her hands together and spoke with a trembling voice, mustering up her courage.
“Oh, Your Excellency. Oh, by any chance... I am worried that the Princess might be feeling too discouraged and having negative thoughts because of ‘that incident’.”
The Duke groaned as the maid spoke carefully.
He didn't think Yvonne's heart could be that weak, but the maid's report was not good.
The aide who was nearby also cautiously added.
“Come to think of it, the maid who was cleaning up the office after the Princess finished her work reported that the princess cleaned up the desk in the office before leaving. She is even behaving in a way that is different from before, and it is really a bit strange.”
“Oh, Yvonne.”
The Duke sighed deeply.
He regrets it so much.
Yvonne has made many mistakes over the years.
Besides, he was so angry because it took a lot of effort to deal with this accident.
But the father never thought to ask in detail why his daughter kept causing such foolish accidents.
The Duke's brows furrowed in displeasure as he thought deeply.
'The reason Yvonne had an accident... was definitely because of Crown Prince Adrian, tsk. He was so blatant about it.'
The Duke also knew that Yvonne had been in love with Crown Prince Adrian since she was young.
The Crown Prince, who was handsome, capable, and had a good personality, was popular with all the young ladies, but Yvonne followed him around the most openly.
But Crown Prince Adrian had no interest in Yvonne at all.
Rather, he even displayed behavior that ignored Yvonne, who was obsessed with him.
Why did I stay still then? Now that he thought about it, the Duke was secretly getting annoyed.
'Hmm. I feel a little bad.'
The Duke, who had been busy dealing with Yvonne's constant mishaps and had never really thought deeply about Crown Prince Adrian's attitude, became quite displeased.
Although she may be a bit rough and unruly, what is lacking in his daughter that she gets dumped by the Crown Prince?
He turned down his daughter's advances by having an affair with the illegitimate Princess of the Mare Kingdom, who had returned with him after achieving great success on the battlefield.
The Duke narrowed his eyes.
'Yvonne was ready to throw a bomb.'
Although the method was a bit extreme, the Duke ended up taking Yvonne's side after thinking about it.
As expected, the arms bend inward.
Since she didn't have a mother, she should have been taken care of more, but he thinks she was neglected too much, calling her a loser.
The Duke felt a little guilty and regretful.
And he felt a little annoyed by the Crown Prince and the illegitimate Princess of the Mare Kingdom.
'You two are flirting about dating? My daughter only eats three meals a day, doesn't do her favorite exercise or go shopping, and just lies around like a sloth.'
The Duke's eyes, which were now feeling uneasy, shone brightly.
He said, looking at the documents containing Yvonne's ingenious organizing method.
“I will have dinner with Yvonne in the garden tomorrow morning. Let me know when Yvonne wakes up, and I will prepare.”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
Carol bowed in delight at the Duke's command.
The Duke decided to praise Yvonne for learning how to use her good head properly tomorrow and to release her from her mansion duties.
But only after receiving a promise not to cause any more accidents.
And he wish she'd just forget about that damn Crown Prince and cheer up.
'Oh, yeah.'
A good idea occurred to him, and he took out the pledge that had been sitting in his drawer for a long time.
It was a pledge with the seal of the late Duke of Iells, who had died two years ago.
“Ralk. You attended the Duke of Iells’s succession ceremony instead of me, right? Was the new Duke that handsome?”
“Yes? Yes. It was as great as they said.”
“Really? Investigate the Duke of Iells again and bring it back. And get a portrait.”
"All right."
The aide was puzzled by his master's sudden curiosity about the Duke of Rudnine Iells, but he carried out the order without asking any questions.
Duke Argenthoz, holding the pledge, smiled with one side of his mouth raised.
'It was a good thing I accepted it.'
He thought it was a useless pledge, but he decided to write it for his daughter. He nodded happily as he looked at the moon outside the window.
The next morning.
As always, I heard that the Duke, who goes to work at Magic Tower early in the morning, is waiting for me at home.
Bewildered and incredulous, I asked my personal maid, Carol, again.
“So, the Duke called me?”
“Yes, yes, my lady. He asked me to tell you that we should have breakfast together in the garden today.”
Carol looked at me and explained again.
I became anxious.
'Why is that? Is something wrong, or is it because you don't like the way I organized my Excel? Am I overdoing it?'
“I couldn’t believe it either. But this is definitely her handwriting. The square table format that she created is truly revolutionary!”
"Hmm."
