The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 141: Duke San Minerva's Residence

"My name is Darwin Randall San Minerva, I am the current Duke of San Minerva" Duke Darwin said.

Mr. Alan and the other four teachers also approached Duke Darwin.

"Greetings, Mr. Duke. We would like to thank you again for welcoming us with all these luxuries" Mr Alan said.

"Hoho just relax, Alan. This isn't the first time I've accepted a San Fulgen Akademiya student to my residence. How are you doing ? Are you okay in teaching these students?" asked Duke Darwin.

"I'm in good shape, sir," said Mr. Alan.

"It's good to hear it" said Duke Darwin.

From their conversation, it seemed that mister Alan and Duke San Minerva were quite familiar. What is because Mr. Alan has long been a teacher and has often accompanied the students to the Duke's residence in the fourth exam so he can be familiar with Duke San Minerva and possibly also with other dukes.

After shaking hands with Mr. Alan and the other teachers, Duke Darwin looked at us disciples.

"Ohhhh, isn't this prince Charles and princess Chloe ? Right, I forgot that you guys are also students in the new generation of San Fulgen Akademiya. You're all grown up" Duke Darwin said as he approached Charles and Chloe.

"Greetings, Mr. Duke. I haven't seen you in a long time" said Charles.

"Greetings, Mr. Duke," said Chloe.

"Last we met about 2 years ago, yes, it's been a while too" Duke Darwin said.

"Yes, it's been a while" said Charles.

"Then, I want permission to go to greet the students I used to know, the prince," Duke Darwin said.

"Please, Mr. Duke," said Charles.

Then Duke Darwin leaves Charles and Chloe to go to a student he knows.

"Enzo, long time no see ya," said Duke Darwin.

"Greetings, Mr. Duke. It was a new feeling one year ago that we met, Mr. Duke," Duke Darwin said.

"1 year feels like a long time, Enzo. How's your father doing?" asked Duke Darwin.

"I don't know because I didn't meet him at the academy but I'm sure he's fine" Enzo said.

"Yes, yes, you are currently a student at San Fulgen Akademiya. During your time as a student at the academy, you must not leave the academy territory to visit your father. May His Majesty the Archangel give you protection and health, Enzo" Duke Darwin said.

"Thank you, Mr. Duke," said Enzo.

"His Majesty the Archangel ? Previously, Mr. Alan said that there was a great religion that worshiped the Archangels as their Goddess in the Northern world called Sancta Lux religion. Hearing Duke San Minerva say so, it seems Duke San Minerva is a believer of that religion. But why did he only expect protection for Enzo, and not Charles and Chloe before?" I thought.

Then Duke Darwin kept going around to see the students he might have known.

"Yes, it's not that you're the daughter of Irene, the daughter of Duke San Lucia. I heard you are also a new student like a prince and princess, happy to see you here" said Duke Darwin.

"Greetings, Mr. Duke," said Irene.

"Have your father been in good health since the last time you met him?" asked Duke Darwin.

"My father is in good health, sir," said Irene.

"I see, I haven't seen him in a long time. Well, may you be comfortable in my home" Duke Darwin said.

Duke Darwin went back around to see the students.

"From what Irene told me first, Duke San Lucia and the other three dukes were in dissonance. It must have been awkward for Irene to chat with Duke San Minerva," I thought.

Duke Darwin continued to wander around while watching the disciples one by one. Then Duke Darwin looked at me, his gaze very serious. I just bowed my body as a courtesy to him. After that Duke Darwin returned to the middle of the room.

"I'm sorry I went around watching you first. You must be tired after a long journey, let's please enjoy the food and drinks that I have provided at the table," said Duke Darwin.

We all started eating the food available at the table.

"This building is a small church that I built for Sancta Lux believers in my residence. Do you know the Sancta Lux religion ? it is the largest religion in the northern world. For those of you who follow that religion, you can pray there. As for those of you who do not embrace it, you are free to look into this church" said Duke Darwin.

*Note: This novel is a fictional story. So the religion or beliefs contained in this novel have nothing to do with religion and belief in real life.*

We started walking into the building to look around. Not long ago we looked around, we were surprised to see the figure of the woman sitting on the front bench. At first we didn't realize because it was probably a good distance away because we were at the door behind the room, while the woman was on the front bench.

Maybe because he realized that this place suddenly the arrival of many people, the woman also woke up from her seat.

"It looks like this place has many guests" said the woman.

She was very beautiful with shoulder hair. I don't think her age is much different from Her Majesty. Some of us are scared and alert.

"Not to be afraid, she is my wife" Duke Darwin said.

"I have indeed heard that the first batch of San Fulgen Akademiya students will be visiting today. I'm sorry for not accompanying you from the beginning. Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Harriet Randall San Minerva. I am the Duchess of San Minerva at the moment" Duchess Harriet said.

Hearing that, we all bowed to show respect.

"You want to look at this church, right ? please take a look around. I'm done praying so I'll leave this church. I go first, baby," said Duchess Harriet.

"Yes, baby" said Duke Darwin.

Duchess Harriet left the church to return to the main residence. Then after a while, we also left the church because we had finished walking around the inside of the church.

After that, we went to the back gate of the Duke's residence which was not far from the park and church. When we got there, the gate was in an open position while being guarded by several soldiers. We could also see the scene that was behind the Duke's residence. There were hills, forests, rivers and vast grasslands.

After that, we all returned to the Duke's residence.

"Thank you, sir, for accepting us and allowing us to go around. Thank you for the dinner, too" said Mr. Alan.

"Together, Alan. After this you and the other students will go to the inn?" asked Duke Darwin.

"Really, sir. And it looks like they all can't wait to get around the city of San Minerva" said Mr. Alan.

"Hoho, so yeah. Yes, please you and the others go to the inn. I'll see you tomorrow when the exam starts, Alan," Duke Darwin said.

"Ready, Mr. Duke," said Mr. Alan.

"Well, I forgot to tell you about this. Tell the first batch of students to be careful while touring the city of San Minerva at night. Because even though members of the 'Silver Peacock' squad often patrol at night, crime is always common. They're after a place that the patrol didn't go through. So you have to tell this to your students" Duke Darwin said.

"Ready, sir. Thank you for the information" said Mr. Alan.

After that we all went from the Duke's residence while being escorted by the Duke himself to the front gate of his residence. We rode our horse-drawn carriage back and headed to the inn in San Minerva. Arriving at the inn, we all got off the horse carriage. The inn that we will occupy is quite large when viewed from outside, but we do not know what the contents of the inn will be like.

"You may travel to the city of San Minerva, but you must first put your luggage into your room at this inn. Me and the other teachers will share the keys to our own students" said Mr. Alan.

Mr. Alan and other teachers began sharing the room keys. Mr. Alan handed out the keys to the class A students.

"Oh yes, Rid. You and Irene are currently dating right?" asked Mr. Alan.

"Yes, sir, why?" I asked.

"This is the room key for you," said Mr. Alan while giving me 1 room key.

"Just 1 room key?" I asked.

"Yes, that's the key to the room that you two will occupy at this inn" said Mr. Alan.

"Huh?!?!," I said in surprise.
