For a moment, Lucas’s eyes slowly blinked.
“After dawn?”
It was customary and conventional for the ladies and the young nobles to stay in bed until late morning.
“It must be around 10 o’clock.”
Even if they woke up earlier, they waited in bed for the servant master to call them, and they took breakfast in bed as well.
After breakfast, if the servant master asked again, they only washed and dressed after 10 o’clock, and thanks to that, lunch was almost always skipped.
“No, sir. The morning bell rings at 7 o’clock, and the entire Duke’s routine, including Her Highness, begins then.”
Serena, who did not even keep a minor courtesy, felt surprisingly amazing, although she knew it was strange.
“I’ve scheduled the earliest time for Her Highness with the servant.”
“Astel seems like a different world.”
Even when traveling to foreign countries with different customs, he had never felt this strange emotion. However, Astel’s laws, led by his betrothed in the same empire, were always so curious and interesting.
“And, Your Highness, the fruit wine served today has a high alcohol content.”
As Cedric said, a subtle intoxication came over Lucas. The fatigue of talking for a long time and touring the territory today was an extra burden.
“Do they also produce it with varying alcohol content?”
Lucas’s face did not show any signs of intoxication, but his staggering step toward the bed showed the power of Astel’s fruit wine.
“…Wise.”
With a thud, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
“A terrifyingly… wise woman.”
Cedric was also intoxicated for the first time in a while. He quickly checked the crown prince’s bed and lay down on the small bed in the side room. Then, with a gentle sigh, sleep came naturally.
“Astel… fruit wine… the best…”
Surely Serena’s next masterpiece would surely shake the entire continent. Serena’s unstoppable run was just beginning.
(This is a time separator.)
As Lucas and his companions were surprised, Serena’s morning began with the ringing of a bell.
“Miss, good morning.”
“Yeah, Anna.”
Today, Serena again washed her face briskly without anyone’s assistance and wiped the moisture from her face. Although she wore simple dresses and lacked any jewelry, her twentyfouryearold beauty was really fresh.
“Your Highness, good morning.”
Once Serena quickly finished her morning grooming, Master Servant Peter greeted her. It was the moment when Astel’s routine began.
“I’ve been thinking about the distribution of Astel’s fruit wine, and we need to consider it more carefully. If we tax the fruit wine as liquor, we may lose.”
Every morning, waking up early and going to bed late, the constant flow of new ideas was truly amazing.
“I didn’t think of that.”
“I’m going to discuss it with the higherups in the Farel Grand Duchy. There, unlike the Empire, there are no liquor taxes, so if it’s successful, it could be a huge profit.”
While Serena’s eyes sparkled, Anna was doing her hair, which she claimed was her own task. However, it was always tied up high and pinned as Serena wanted.
“Didn’t you hate the Farel Grand Duchy, Miss?”
“No.”
Her delicate eyebrows tilted slightly.
“What I hate is not the Farel Grand Duchy but the Grand Duke who is insanely persistent and loud.”
Serena was not to be outdone by stubbornness, but Grand Duke Pharrel was persistent enough to make her raise both hands.
“Is it normal to propose to me, who already has a fiancé, twelve times?”
“Fifteen times, Miss.”
“Anyway!”
The Grand Duchy of Pharrel had long ago concluded a noninterference treaty with the empire and was ruling as an independent sovereign. The current Grand Duke, Hyde Pharrel, was 28, four years older than Serena.
“Even if everyone in the world knows that my engagement has ended, it’s too rude.”
Serena’s engagement to the crown prince was when she was 18, a full 6 years ago.
At the age of twentyfour in this era, it was long past the marriageable age, so much so that not only the aristocrats of the empire’s capital but also the local lords thought that this marriage talk had failed.
“Proposing to me, who has a fiancé, and persisting fifteen times even if refused, is all rude, but the reason is the rudest.”
Rarely did Serena get angry from the morning.
Especially since the Duchy of Astel is adjacent to the Grand Duchy, the hardship during that time was immense.
“Ha…… that’s not the problem right now.”
A bigger problem was blatantly lingering in this Duke’s residence.
“I can at least drive away the Grand Duke, but I can’t help the appearance of the crown prince! Should we postpone it? Originally, the ladies move in the afternoon.”
“That is…… The servant who received the order of the crown prince did the same, and yesterday, the wise men of Astel praised Her Highness for getting up early in the morning to attend to business unlike other people, so they probably already know.”
Everyone says that the early bird catches the worm, but this time was different. Now, the earlyrising Highness was doubly weary.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
