In This Life I'LL Be A Better Mother
Chapter 5 - Responsibility
Charlotte Remington
Haaaa...
Charlotte Remington
What can I do for the duke to give me a chance with Anya?
System Chu
Maybe trying showing the Duke you've changed, rather than telling him.
Charlotte Remington
How can I do that?
System Chu
Well this isn't the modern world you're from and use too.
System Chu
But a world that's still in development.
System Chu
That means that in this time the only job for noble women was running the household.
System Chu
Which the real Charlotte did not do?
System Chu
So all the task befell on the Duke.
Charlotte Remington
So what your saying is that I have to take up Charlotte's responsibilities as the Duchess of the Remington Duchy?
Charlotte Remington
That won't be easy.
System Chu
I'm sure you'll be fine.
System Chu
Besides you ran your own company.
System Chu
You'll do great.
Knocks on the duke's study door.
Ivan Remington
Why are u here?
Charlotte Remington
I just want to discuss some matters with you.
Ivan Remington
What is it?
Ivan Remington
Want me to raise your fund, so you can buy new dresses?
Ivan Remington
Or do you want me to buy you expensive jewelry?
Charlotte Remington
It's neither of that.
Ivan Remington
Then why are you here?
Ivan Remington
You don't trouble yourself to come to me in person about such matters.
Ivan Remington
Or are you here to request for Anya?
Charlotte Remington
Sort of.
Charlotte Remington
Just listen to what I have to say.
Charlotte Remington
I know you think I haven't changed, and you have every right to.
Charlotte Remington
But I really do want to spend time with her and get to know her.
Charlotte Remington
So I want to prove it to you.
Charlotte Remington
Action speaks louder than words.
Ivan Remington
But your actions thus far did speak louder than your words.
Ivan Remington
Very loud and clear.
Charlotte Remington
Like I said I've changed.
Charlotte Remington
Just give me a chance to show you.
Ivan Remington
What is it that you want?
Charlotte Remington
I would like to take the work load off of you.
Ivan Remington
There can only be one Duke.
Charlotte Remington
I meant take back the duties of the duchess.
Charlotte Remington
Like running the household and so fort.
Ivan Remington
Are you trying to be funny?
Charlotte Remington
I'm serious.
Ivan Remington
Your the one who said you didn't want to that responsibility.
Charlotte Remington
That was then.
Charlotte Remington
This is now.
Charlotte Remington
Please trust me enough to do at least that.
Ivan Remington
Very well then.
Ivan Remington
I'll let you handle managing the estate for now.
Ivan Remington
After seeing what you can do, I'll consider giving you full charge.
Charlotte Remington
I understand.
Charlotte Remington
Thank you.
Ivan Remington
Don't thank me.
Ivan Remington
Just so you know if you slip up, I'll take it back.
Charlotte Remington
Understood.
Butler Hughes
Yes, your grace.
Ivan Remington
Please escort the Duchess to the management room.
Butler Hughes
Yes, your grace.
Ivan Remington
Hughes will provide you with what you'll need to do.
Ivan Remington
You may go now.
Ivan Remington
I have work to do.
Charlotte Remington
Is it alright I'm doings this?
Butler Hughes
What do you mean, your grace?
Charlotte Remington
Managing the estate.
Charlotte Remington
I want your honest opinion?
Butler Hughes
It's not my place to say, your grace.
Butler Hughes
But I'm glad you decide to take the position.
Butler Hughes
It helps his grace a lot.
Charlotte Remington
I see.
He took me to the management room whereby alot of parchment was stacked up in a corner.
Charlotte Remington
What's all this?
Butler Hughes
These are the least important matters of the estate, his grace put aside.
Charlotte Remington
Why so many?
Butler Hughes
Cause they're minor stuff to deal with.
Charlotte Remington
Then I will start with these.
Butler Hughes
I'll have some refreshments prepared for you.
And with that my work began.
