Helen was more than thrilled with her role as the new Archduchess of the Stone duchy, she felt like a new world had been opened up to her. If she was living in luxury before this, then right now she must be in heaven. Never had she thought the proud Eliza would had left such a title to her.
She had more access to the treasury and important secrets of the family, she could do anything she wanted without asking for permission and could spend however she liked. Everything that went on the estate was reported to her.
She loved the power she had over everyone in the estate, all the workers spoke to her with more respect. She was invited to double the amount of gatherings she was invited to in the past, the other noble ladies eager to curry favor with her that was several leagues above them.
