“It’s finally here! It’s finally here!”

Susan exclaimed with a look of excitement on her face. Ben looked gleeful and bemused.

“It came exceptionally fast, didn’t it? It’s a serious matter that usually takes a year.”

“Does it have something to do with the fact that Berg didn’t participate in the battle to defeat the demons of Duke Howard this time?”

“I kind of have a feeling about that too. Susan.”

Linon, who was listening, nodded.

“It seems that Duke Howard whined to Queen Ezekiel, and she told the Emperor. If you turn your back on Berg, only Howard will lose out.”

“Please use honorifics, Linon.”

Linon replied to Susan’s harsh words with a serious face.

“Lady Susan . I think that in the Berg, only His Highness and the Lady should have the honorific title.”

Susan and Ben stared at each other.

“That’s true.”

“I know.”

It only took a moment for them to be persuaded. If nothing else, they felt very good. How pleased Martha and Joanna in the green manor would be to hear this. It had been several weeks since Lesche and Seria failed to visit the laurel manor due to the combination of the Kellyden’s inheritance and the retaking of the Connes Plain.

“His Highness and the young lady said they would be at the manor this week.”

“It has been a long time since I have followed them.”

Seria and Lesche had not yet been told of this wonderful news. This was because they had both just returned from the Connes Plain. Seria took a bath and fainted in the tub, while Abigail carried her into bed.

“His Highness is in a meeting at the moment, is he not?”

“Yes. But this is a very important document, so I’m going to show it to him right away.”

“I didn’t know Linon was so good at his job.”

“Well, congratulations on being alive to be praised by Lady Susan.”

“If it weren’t for the young lady, this day would never come.”

“That’s exactly what Susan said. The Lady saved us all.”

Linon immediately gave a tired expression.

Linon looked immediately tired.

“Anyway, if you get involved in the Grand Duke….I’m going up now.”

Linon walked up to the main conference hall with a golden envelope containing the emperor’s approval. It was a small meeting to decide what would happen after the Connes Plain was retaken. It was a meeting of only Berg’s main vassals.

If it was a medium-sized meeting or larger, Linon would have to assist, but for a small meeting like this, he didn’t have to participate unless it was necessary. Lesche was a very efficient owner, and it made Linon feel good to be able to deliver such pleasant news.

Linon went up excitedly.

“Your Highness, I have received documents from the royal family.”

“From the royal family?”

Lesche asked as he received the golden envelope.

“When did it arrive?”

“This morning.”
