I won't pick up the trash i threw away again

Chapter-4

I had no appetite, so I skipped dinner and took a bath right away. Soaking in the hot water made my heart a bit lighter.

Waiting for me to leave the bath was Baron Tail Wizard. He was one of the old aides who worked for Duke Williot. He sat patiently until I came out after changing clothes, and then politely handed out a document.

"What is this?"

"This is an urgent document."

When I was told that I had to handle it urgently, I hesitated.

This was supposed to be the Duke's job, so why should I?

In usual cases, I'd only handle it if the Duke wasn't here or was preoccupied with other work. Philen was going to have dinner with that woman right now, and I had to work?

Just thinking about it made me feel sick and irritated. In an annoyed manner, I pushed away the document and turned my head.

"Baron Wizard. Take this to Philen."

"What?"

Baron Wizard looked at me as if he couldn't understand what I was saying. Well, I had been dealing with it for nearly 10 years and now that I suddenly said to let Philen deal with it, it's obvious he'd be confused.

"Up until now, the Duke was away, so I took over, but now things have changed." I smiled and kindly explained. "So, take the Duke's work to him, he can handle it himself."

The Wizards had long been a family who worked for the Duke of Williot. The same was true of Tail Wizard. As soon as he graduated from the Academy, he worked as an aide to the Duke of Williot.

For 30 years, he had been loyal to them. Yet, this was the first time he was this astounded.

'Take the document to the Duke.'

Would Philen understand this document properly? Tail was sure he wouldn't. He knew Philen would ask him this and that without knowing what it meant.

'It's not a good thing if his questions don't end.'

It was annoying. He could see she was waving at him to take it back, so he sighed. He just wanted Leila to handle it, but unfortunately, Leila didn't seem willing.

'It's only valid.'

Philen did something outrageous, she couldn't possibly want to work for him. He fully understood Leila's thoughts, but he couldn't help but sigh.

"All right... Let's go."

He had to get the approval. Tail sighed and headed to the Duke's room where Philen was.

And then.

"Document?"

As expected, Tail sighed deeply inside when Philen asked back, thinking that this was annoying. However, on the outside, Tail politely handed out the document to Philen.

"It's something you have to deal with today. Even though it's late, I'm here."

"I see that. Why did you bring it to me?"

"I brought it because it's a document that the Duke has to approve."

Even with the words that followed, Philen leaned against the wall without giving a single glance to the document. His beautiful eyes rose with discontent. "You know that Leila did this until now, right?"

"Lady Leila has been acting on behalf of the Duke because you were away."

"I know that Leila did it when I wasn't away, so why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
