foreign objects

The next day, Rever had to attend his event in Dessie. He was making a visit to the natural gas field in the Dessie area. His characteristic style was always neat and he was very authoritative and handsome.

Rever glanced at Lexcy who was looking frightened. He understood where his cousin was thinking. 'again thinking about the condition of the people.

From his face he seemed to disagree with the development that would be expanded, even though it was LPG, but it would still have an impact on Dessie's future air pollution. His face blackened with irritation. But as a person who has no power, he must remain silent and carry out according to the original plan.

"Where are you going duke." Ortiz was clearly worried that Revar's actions were too dangerous. Although in the research of some renowned observers, it was clearly a danger because it could explode at any time if there was a fault from the ground.

Rever looked up, having dismounted from the horse. He knew his guards were afraid of what might happen to him but his unruly nature was his life. He took a step without hesitation. "Stop worrying about me." that sentence should have made it clear.

Talking with the elders and giving orders at the same time, he was truly a smart duke. Staring at him from afar, even on a horse could not defeat her admiration for duke Revar. A realistic yet precise way of thinking. This was impressive. Lexcy was more and more amazed but felt more and more useless.

Well if the people hadn't dethroned her father, obviously she was the successor, but Muerdt's mistake had deserved to be dethroned. Thinking about it made him want to go back immediately. Suddenly the events of last night flashed in her mind. 'Will he be able to leave now to meet that girl again' it was ridiculous to imagine meeting like this.

The more she thought about it, the more time seemed to move. Selfish and one-sided.

Their visit did not last long, after finishing with all the activities at Dessie, everyone immediately returned to the senataria. Their trip was not as long as when they were just about to visit Dassie.

During the trip they were tired enough to talk about things that should be said before entering the senataria territory.

"Why did you disappear yesterday while hunting." Lexcy was annoyed.

Rever just opened the map, he marked it with red ink in several places.

"Answer my question, looking for you until the afternoon makes me waste precious time." his sentence sounded annoying. Almost throwing a chair at Rever for not getting any answer from his lips that remained silent.

"You'd better get some sleep count." Ortiz retorted quickly. Not just once, all the items that Lexcy threw at him did not reach Rever because Ortiz managed to block them. That made him feel even more annoyed.

He ended up sitting quietly on the train, occasionally stealing glances from the tail of his eyes. Even that looked focused without blinking. His figure like that looked very cool even from all angles. So lexcy swore annoyed 'I wish his eyes would turn into a map' this sentence she should have listened to rever but it felt useless, because the man would still be silent like a mute.

It felt like she was getting annoyed herself. 

~~~ 

That afternoon after his visit he promised to meet the girl again. But on the way, Rever spurred his horse so fast that they lost track. Ortiz and Lexcy tried to search through the Dessie forest to find Rever. Unfortunately, the afternoon was almost over. When they walked near Rever's masion, it was already there and roasting another baby deer. 

With that in mind, she'd better not worry about the smart duke. That night he waited and met the girl at the aftermath of several expulsions from the convent who had caught him trying to climb over the fence.

Although his efforts were fruitful, what he found were comparable wounds on his arms and some bruises on his body. It was bad luck but also good luck.

No matter he spent the night with the girl until his eyes felt heavy. His choice to not sleep while talking to Valeye was the right one. Now his eyes were blackened, in addition to the annoyance that dominated because of Rever.

The count's annoyance, however, did not end there, he threw her annoyed glances several times, plus a face that looked like it wanted to kill her, until his eyes caught the plaster on his arm that had been treated by the girl last night. Lexcy grinned once again, just remembering that incident.

Imagining that was upsetting to her. But she also smiled with satisfaction

Entering Senataria, he was greeted by several palace servants. It was always done when she arrived from outside the region. Lady Duchess Estele, who was now in the same row as Felipe. Welcomed her arrival.

Greeted him with a bend of the knee. Smiling as brightly as the morning sun. She was indeed very beautiful. But not sparkling. So Rever thought. The welcoming ceremony was quick. It was already nauseating. But the tradition had to continue.

Rever wanted to rest soon, he really felt tired. A good excuse to invite them to tea at the castle was the right choice. as was his habit of inviting and then leaving them.

"Lady Beaddefly took the time to wait on you duke." Muerdtd always did. His words wanted to be heeded like he was the previous duke.

"I thank you." Smiling only with moving lips. 

"Tell me how things are going over there." Esstele with a soft voice, invited Rever to talk. Felipe and the few people there waited with curiosity for the grand duke's response.

The first thing he said made some of the members of the parliament startle, but it was just an intermezzo to keep them all from feeling awkward.

Her lips thinning inward, she smiled with her lips. Although that could not escape Esstele's curious gaze either.

"Dessie River, it's so beautiful." Her words received a response that made them startled. She smiled for a few seconds. "That region might cause problems due to the fairly monarchical borders adjacent to King Zyefar's capital region. I just need that validation in this matter." That was indeed the main problem, the development of that area would trigger conflict in the senatorial kingdom.

"Wouldn't it be better to arrange a meeting with King Zyefar, before his term of office passes to his crown prince." Muerdt's suggestion made sense, but Revar did not seem to take it seriously.

Esstele noticed something there, a foreign object clamping onto her tie. Since when did she use it. It was fancy and pretty but already quite worn. She thought.

"Duke, I think I'd like to talk to you about something." her sentence got everyone's approval. After all, she was the Lady who would marry Revar in the closest bloodline.
