I'll be the grand duchess

Chapter 21 [ Ares' point of view ]

For Ares, he almost never have time to rest. People said he was a craze for war but the truth was, he's just being ordered around by the emperor.

The one who is the real war craze was the emperor himself. He wasn't someone who can goes around then declare a war.

His job was to wipe out the empire's enemies, return home and complete his paperwork. He was actually a poor duke who was working under the emperor's command.

These days, Ares has alot of free time due to his inhuman speed at signing and reading paperworks so he decided to spend this time on going to a charity event hosted by a noble.

He was supposed to attend it with his wife but she left early without telling him. By his guess, she purposely left without wanting to tell him.

Well, that's okay for him. He can stay home and look around.

....

Unlike what he thought, there was nothing interesting. All he ever did was looking around the castle, the training ground and the bedroom to see if the bed was properly made.

And, everything was spotless.

Now what should he do?

He was finally freed from works so there is no way in hell would he go back and work again.

Ares goes from one room to one room. To his surprise, almost everything look the same thing but it was still as new as before.

Nothing change that much.

"Lady Adelliana, you have never failed to amaze me! You must have studied history alot."

The voices buzzing from the library made Ares stops his track. He was interested in his daughter' studies now.

"It's necessary for me to know my country' history. It would be a shame when a foreigner asked me what is date of Sol's birth or What happen to our empire hundred years ago then I reply 'How would I know?'."

"Oh my! You are such a diligent person! Out of all noble children I have taught, Lady Adelliana is the only one who really paid attention and learn fast."

The hand clapping sound of the teacher and the heartwarming giggles of a child made Ares' mouth curved up a bit.

He left when the lesson ended. Sometime, Ares forgot that he has a wife and a daughter at home so he was actually startled when he saw them back he return from war.

All he ever does in his life was battling and killing. Seeing his daughter who laughed innocently at home with her mother, it was like blessing for him to have people who can smile and laugh around him casually.

Since there weren't anything for him to do, Ares returned back to his study where his assistant was waiting for him.

His assistant bowed his head down upon seeing Ares.

"Your grace, I have scheduled the conference for military members. The date of the conference will be held on Thursday, 16th of Apirl."

"Good. The sooner we finish this, the better. Once the military conference wrapped up, the aristocrats of the tower and the aristocrats of intellectual association conference will be also finished."

"Your grace still doesn't like meeting with  mages and intellectual members..." The assistant nervously chuckled.

In Beresford empire, the political system divided in three. The association of Intellectual noble. The military force and the aristocrats of the tower.

The association of intellectual noble is under the chancellor command. This organization is a formed by the 1st emperor of Beresford and the member of this association are those who run the matter inside the country, such as finances and taxation.

The military force is under the Valentine's family for almost 3 century now. The military is responsible for borderlands and wars.

The last political department is the tower of mage, run by the archmage. Despite having connection with the royal and the noble, the mage tower is not responsible for the country's matter unless the country's matter is crucial.

The mage tower is on a friendly term with the military but not the association of intellectual noble. And the reason why the mage tower dislike the association of intellectual noble is because they rejected the magical spell and magician.

Due to the two biggest associations on a bad term, the military force was put in the middle. And Ares was not happy with the intellectual noble trying to buy his favour.

Their slyness and their poisoned sweet tongues would always annoyed him on every meeting they have.

"If it weren't for the emperor, I would have joined hand with the mage tower since long time ago." Ares sighed and rub his temple.

"Please don't stress yourself out, this is only Saturday so please take a good rest. I shall see your grace at the conference next week." His assistant carefully excused himself and head out.

The door was gently closed, leaving Area all alone with himself in his study. He closed his eyes and let darkness consume his vision.

But the sound of footsteps and door open and close kept making him lose his focus. When he was about to open his eyes, the creak sound of his study's room door opened.

He immediately pretended to sleep but his ears and eyes were still slightly open.

"Oh...it's dad's office and he slacked off by sleeping..." The high-pitched voice of a girl insulted him tick him off.

She slowly closed the door and her footsteps continued to ring the hallway until it's slowly going away.

Ares shot his eyes opened and get up. Since he almost never have his time with his daughter alone, he shall spend his time today before the tigress return and crack his skull.

Did anyone read "Actually, I was real" yet? The newly manhwa that is similar to WMMAP and the Villainess reverse the hourglass.

To those who could easily have high blood pressure, I don't recommend you to read it. If you want to, read chapter 6.

I swear I almost died while trying to read the first 3 chapters 🗿🗿
