Even though from what I looked, some of the work that she had done wasn't really very well done, as it was clear that she was struggling a lot during the beginning when she started doing paperwork.
It seemed that her pride was holding her back a lot. It was really similar to the scenes I had seen with Hela. Still, she was doing rather well, as she was focusing on completing the work that she was supposed to be doing instead of dumping it on her subordinates.
Like she was doing for most of the time, so seeing her striving to make it was entertaining and also a bit weird. She was found with the things on the touchpad like she would be fighting her greatest enemy.
Much to my amusement, this state lasted for the entire journey to the Icecrown Citadel when they were in the vehicle. The journey itself was rather lengthy because it was once again snowing outside, like it was any different from a common day.
Fenran Rex IX. was an ice-covered planet for most of the time.
Though, even though Esdeath was rather stubborn for most of them time, in the end, she still realized that she couldn't complete all of the work on the time, so she asked for my help...
Much to her dismay and to my entertainment, because it was very hard for her to ask for my help. She initially refused any help from me and wanted to complete everything on her own, only to realize that her pace was much slower than she had expected, and she reluctantly asked for my help.
Still, it was rather intriguing because she was rather proud and, someone would say, even arrogant, yet she was still very rational for most of the time and knew when to retreat and ask for help.
The priority of her work was above everything, and she would jeopardize it for something as petty as her own pride, no matter how great her pride was.

Back at the Icecrown Citadel, the clansmen of the Partas Tribe from all branches of the Partas Tribe were celebrating the glorious return of the valiant warriors who had destroyed the Frozen Coven.
The long-term rivals of the Partas Tribe, in a rather spectacular and splendid fashion that not only saw the total downfall of the Frozen Coven but also they managed to seize the complete legacy of the Frozen Coven.
This only made the situation even more important for the people of the Partas Tribe, because it meant that they would be soon enough master their powers in the Sorcery and produce Sorcerers, the Psykers like the Frozen Coven was.
All things considered, the mood within the Icecrown Citadel was especially joyous when we have returned back to the home of the Partas Tribe, as thousands upon thousands of people were welcoming back the warriors of the Tribe and, namely the General Esdeath Partas.
Who was the most anticipated and decorated general in this entire war between the Partas Tribe and Frozen Coven as she was responsible for the conquest of the Frozen Coven.
The Partas Tribe had a thing for war and conquest, so the war heroes were most celebrated.
Even before this, Esdeath was regarded as the stronger warrior and hunter of the Partas Tribe, and it was sure that she would soon enough inherit the position of the Chieftain of the Partas Tribe from her father, Ezran Partas.
Even the current Patriarch of the Partas Tribe was very proud of his daughter because the achievements that his daughters brought to their Tribe were something that he would be proud till the end of his days.
Meanwhile, the person of interest was looking at everything that was happening in the streets of the Partas Tribe with something that almost gave me a heart attack... because she was softly smiling.
Even though Esdeath was a tough woman who spent all of her life in the military of the Partas Tribe and was a strict believer in the concept of "survival of the fittest", she, in fact, was also someone who cared for her Tribe very much.
Seeing all of the people that were gathered here, to celebrate her return, made her unconsciously smile as she oversaw everything.
"You seem to be very happy..."
I said while sitting on the sofa in the vehicle that we were riding as we were heading towards the center of the place, where an official welcoming delegation was awaiting our arrival.
It was a tradition of the Partas Tribe, after their warriors or hunters returned from the conquest or some conflict.
Then, her father bestowed her with honors and a medals for the successful conquest of the Frozen Coven. Subsequently, she delivered a speech to the members of the Partas Tribe who were gathering on the plaza as we were speaking right now.
"It seems so... while I may not seem like it, this place is my home, and I love it very much. The Partas Tribe is where I lived, and we take care of each other because only by united can we survive in this hellish world... perhaps the destruction of the Frozen Coven put me in too much of a good mood."
She chuckled as she said that, though I was somewhat surprised to see her this kind of sentimental. Right now, she seemed like an entirely different person to the point where it was beginning to fascinate me.
"With this, the Partas Tribe would be the dominant force on this side of the continent, and once the Northern Tribe Alliance is defeated and destroyed, then the entire Northern Area of the continent would be under your rule and prosper. Unless the ones in the south don't create any problems for your people, your prosperity is guaranteed. If you want, I could also give you some other boosts, best the experimental procedure on the Psyker Gene."
I said, because maybe in the future, when there is time for me to leave the Immaterius Universe, I consider taking the entire Partas Tribe with me back to the Kadath Universe.
