Upon arriving at the Prouse estate, Grand Duke Prause and his wife and the three Transcendents changed their clothes to participate in the festival.
Lina and Emma waited on Frey and said in delightful voices.
“Did you say there were lanterns and banners celebrating the return of the Grand Duke and his wife?”
“The picture of the Grand Duchess and the four transcendental beings sitting side by side is selling like a lucky charm.”
“Really? Aren’t they disappointed that Daniel will enter the palace?”
Frey asked implicitly.
It was because he knew that the locals respected and loved him as much as Daniel cared for Prouse estate.
“That was an old story. Thanks to Her Highness the Grand Duchess, the undead monsters have disappeared now that the Gelon and Magic Tower forces have been rooted out, right?”
“yes.”
“That means that His Highness the Grand duke can always take care of the estate directly using the magic circle.”
At Emma’s enthusiastic praise of Frey, Lina nodded.
“The people of the territory are also grateful to Her Highness the Grand Duchess for allowing the Grand Duke to travel back and forth from the Prause estate comfortably.”
“That’s right. The fact that the owner of the estate becomes the emperor’s husband and also become a member of the imperial family are a huge thing.”
‘Emperor…’
Frey repeated the words in her mind.
‘For some reason, my heart was overwhelmed.’
No one thought of her as a princess or a grand duchess anymore.
In particular, for the people of Prause, she was no different from a great person who achieved a high degree of commercial development and improved transportation.
“It’s good that the people are happy.”
Frey stood up after speaking of pure sentiment.
Daniel and three transcendents, who had finished their preparations, were waiting for her.
Getting on the wagon and moving to the central shopping district where the festival takes place.
Daniel kept his eyes on the banners and lanterns that the locals would have prepared for the grand duke’s family.
Lydia asked him.
“What is special about the festival in the north?”
“At the winter festival, everyone wears thick clothes and gathers in an outdoor plaza and dances together. A very large bonfire is lit in the center of the plaza.”
He explained to Lydia, whose eyes were shining.
“But there are not as many people as in the capital, so it will be less fancy.”
As he finished speaking, the carriage entered the main street of the central shopping district.
At the same time, Daniel’s eyes, which had been looking out the window with a normal expression, were greatly shaken.
“Wow, it feels different to see the carriage of the Grand Duke of Prause here!”
“Just like the novel described, the Grand Duke’s coat of arms matches the snowy mountains of the Prouse estate very well.”
The square was crowded with five times more people than he expected.
Even after the direct gate and the movement magic circle of the Holy Tower were breached, there were too many tourists.
“What is this…”
A lively shopping district.
Travelers exclaim while looking at Prause’s snowy mountains.
He was speechless for a moment as the closed estate came alive just the way he wanted.
Frey smiled at his speechlessness and delight.
“I’m a little late, but it’s an extra gift for our wedding anniversary, Daniel.”
After receiving a huge gift, Frey thought of an additional gift that would please Daniel the most.
Surely it would be best to show him the prosperity of the Prouse, right?’
Coincidentally, <Plan for the Perfect Divorce>, which Maybell was serializing in the Obelir Post, was completed.
So, Frey hid the invitation to the festival held in Prause in a few copies of Obelir Post.
How confused Lina was when she first said that she would invite people to the North.
[“Your Highness the Grand Duchess. If you issue this many invitations, your budget will—”]
[“If you apply for a free ticket to the sacred Tower in Prause’s estate and accommodations, many people will come after receiving the invitation, right?”]
[“yes. For ordinary people, a trip to Prause is financially burdensome. But if there is support, everyone will want to visit.”]
[“I sent a letter to Jakov and found out that large-scale lodging facilities have recently been completed one after another in the north.”]
Frey was also aware of Yakov and the Merchant Guild’s recent concerns.
There were signs that northern tourism was booming, so accommodation facilities were built first, but there were still many empty rooms because there were not many actual travelers.
‘I’m going to rent an empty room that was troublesome at a low price and have people stay there, and for a while, I’ll post people’s Prause travel stories on the Obelir Post.’
Northern travel stories told by ordinary people will stimulate other people’s desire to travel.
“Frey. How did you do it?”
“It’s no fun if I tell you how I prepared the presents. What is certain is that they are all waiting for our appearance.”
The crowds of tourists praised the Grand Duke couple with half surprise and half gratitude.
Daniel looked at Frey, who gave him what he had been trying to achieve all his life.
He was overwhelmed with gratitude that someone knew what he wanted most.
As he looked at her, a hot, uncontrollable feeling welled up inside him.
‘Oh. It’s as red as a rose!’
Only Arsene, guessing something hot, blinked.

“Then, I will take the young master and the young lady to the mansion.”
Luke said as he looked at the children who had fallen asleep in the carriage.
Daniel nodded with a grim look.
He had actually been planning the perfect ending to this historic night of festivities for now.
It was a night date with Frey.
‘Right after the wedding anniversary, the divine power barrier in the capital collapsed, so my wife must have never been to the villa she received as a gift.’
The villa he gave to Frey as a wedding anniversary gift was halfway up the mountain in the Prause estate.
In the meantime, Frey, who must have been busy staying in the capital and taking care of her father’s health, received a gift and never even opened it.
So Daniel was thinking of taking Frey to the villa after enjoying some of the festivities.
‘I didn’t know that Frey would have prepared a gift for me, too.’
Anyway, Daniel thought that his present would be sweet.
candles and flowers.
Sweet and soft fruits and alcohol.
‘I’ve prepared them in advance, so she can have a good time.’
When they arrive at the villa, Daniel Will shows Frey the interior decoration which had taken a lot of manpower and magic to complete, and then….
“Daniel. I thought we were going to take a carriage ride around the town?”
“Ah…”
Daniel climbed into the carriage, barely suppressing the thoughts of love that filled his head.
Jacov, who was moved by the crowd of tourists,
[“Her Highness the Grand Duchess! I will give my allegiance for the rest of my life..huaaa… “]
—burst into tears of emotion for a long time, causing a delay.
Instead of going around town as she had predicted, the carriage headed straight for the villa.
The villa looked like a magnificent temple thanks to the placement of several aquarins containing luminous magic outside.
When the carriage stopped, he led her into the villa.
“I have prepared a present for you too.”
“Woah…”
Frey exclaimed at the sumptuous decor.
‘The Emperor’s Palace, where my father lives, is not comparable to this villa.’
Frey’s jewels and Daniel’s magic combined to create beautiful patterns of light everywhere.
‘How beautiful is the Prause estate seen through the window…’
“Shall we go to the place with the best night view?”
Daniel led Frey into the bedroom.
As soon as he opened the door, the wine, fruit, and whipped cream prepared in the room smelled sweet.
“Oh my god…”
Frei sat on the bed without realizing it.
As if the location of the bedroom had been considered when the villa was built, the night view from there was so beautiful to be true.
One side of the wall was all made of windows, so Frey felt like she was climbing to the highest place in the world and looking down.
Daniel naturally sat down next to her.
Now was the time to give her the present he had prepared.
