Disguised as a Male Servant in the Duke's House (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 184

Three months had already passed since she became Valtezar’s queen.

Today was the day she would meet representatives from the Kingdom of Mew and the Kingdom of Benuev—who had come to the duchy after a long absence—to discuss business matters.

Hyeon, now a citizen of the duchy and Rozelia’s personal secretary and bodyguard, scanned the familiar guests and murmured to himself.

“Can the prince really afford to be away from Benuev for so long?”

At Hyeon’s quiet question, Asif—who had been lounging lazily on the sofa in a manner far too relaxed for someone visiting on business—slowly opened his mouth.

“Well, unlike other countries, I’ve got eleven brothers. Benuev won’t collapse just because I’m gone for a bit. In fact, my brothers might even be glad—one less rival for them.”

Though the visit was ostensibly for business negotiations, Asif came to the duchy nearly once a month, leaving Hyeon—who assisted Rozelia with diplomatic affairs—to suffer constant headaches.

Another guest, who had been watching the pair warily, awkwardly broke the silence.

“Umm… thanks to the trade route carved through the Fior Mountains, trade with the Duchy of Valtezar should proceed without issue. It’s practically a masterstroke—almost as if the route was built precisely for this moment.”

It was Marquis Bellog, now firmly established as a trusted business partner.

In the original story, he had risen to become chancellor through trade dealings with Rapellios; in this life, he had achieved success through the duchy and now occupied the chancellor’s seat in the Kingdom of Mew.

“That’s good to hear. Is everything also going smoothly on Benuev’s side?”

“With the trade route, Benuev can reach here in just ten days, so there shouldn’t be any major issues. Though, geographically speaking, using the sea route might shorten the journey a bit more.”

Though he acted like a lazy cat, Asif was always thorough in his work. Hyeon, quietly organizing the discussion notes, added flatly,

“You needn’t worry about that. The Duchy of Valtezar has secured rights to use the Ebelles Port through a treaty with Ebelles.”
