Chapter 82: Directory Government - Princess
A week has passed since my return to the capital, Lumiere.
During that time, I was busy dealing with the backlog of Commander-in-Chief duties and writing a report to submit as the representative of the Iberian Peninsula delegation.
In the end, Damien De Millbeau found an error in the documents submitted by his subordinates and used the excuse that he needed time to correct them, giving himself an extra day, but ironically, thanks to his late submission, I was able to work with some leeway.
If Damien had been as perfect as Desaix in his work and was just waiting for me, I probably wouldn't have had time to rest.
Of course, that doesn't mean I didn't chew Damien out.
Just as I had almost cleared the pile of work waiting for me and took a breather, Eris, who had finished her relief work and charity activities around Francia, returned to Lumiere.
"Welcome back, Saintess."
Bowing lightly and speaking politely to Eris, who was dressed in her usual white robe, she looked up at me for a moment beyond the veil and replied slowly.
"It's been a while, Marquis Lafayette."
