In the main hall of the main building, Laurist was listening to Steward Spear's report. "The wheat is growing well this year, and it's expected to be another bumper harvest. After harvesting the wheat in July, I'm preparing to plant hemp. This way, after harvesting the hemp in October, we can sow the winter wheat. Fortunately, my lord brought back those carriages this time, or else it would be troublesome during the harvest … "
Laurist was so bored that he wanted to yawn. He had no interest in these things.
"My lord, there are grains in the warehouse … fine linen … coarse linen … fur …"
Head Steward Spear's incessant talkative voice drifted into Laurist's ears. He secretly sighed, suspecting that it would be time for lunch after Steward Spear finished accounting for all the stored goods in the family warehouse. He glanced to the side and saw Padt yawning loudly. This bastard …
Hmm, Knight Paciko was playing with the teacup in his hand absent-mindedly. It seemed like he was not paying attention to what Steward Spear was saying. Steward Cordan was staring at the opposite wall calmly, as if there was a flower blooming on the opposite wall. Redi … Hmm, when did he sneak out? It's convenient to sneak out while sitting by the door. Alright, of all the people present, only Ser Kemp was listening attentively. He was mumbling something and his fingers were clicking here and there, as if he was calculating the numbers Steward Spear reported …
After Laurist finished his third cup of tea, he was wondering if he should find an excuse to go out and relax, but Steward Spear finally finished reporting the thick stack of animal skin papers in her hands. Just as Laurist heaved a sigh of relief, he saw Steward Spear take out another stack of animal skin papers from her pocket …
Damn, is there an end to this? Laurist quickly interrupted Steward Spear's report. "Cough, cough. Steward Spear, you are very responsible. As the lord, I am very pleased and grateful for your tireless efforts. You can compare the accounts with Ser Kemp and give me the list once you have the results. "
"Knight Paciko, please report the situation of the guards."
Patke immediately became spirited. He sat up straight and said excitedly, "Sir, the basic qi you taught me is too convenient to awaken. It's much simpler than the qi in our Empire's army. Over the past three months, other than the coachmen who had followed him to the Monolith Castle, 173 of the 300 people who had stayed in the manor to learn basic fighting energy had awakened their fighting energy. However, although they have awakened their Dou Qi, their basic Dou Qi is somewhat different from the Dou Qi used in the army. I hope that you can give them some pointers on the application of Dou Qi when you have the time. "
"I got it. I'll go over to guide them every afternoon for the next three days. Although the basic Combat Aura was simple, it could only be trained to the pinnacle of Iron-ranked. If they were ambitious, they could switch to the military Combat Aura. After all, the military Combat Aura of the former Empire could be trained to the Silver-ranked. Paladin Pacico, choose from the guards who have awakened their impetus. If there are soldiers who are suitable to learn crossbows, organize them and train them in longbows and crossbows. Our villa will form a squadron of guards, which will include at least a small team of long-range soldiers. For now, we'll make do with the crossbows in the villa and send them to the Monolith Castle after a while. Paladin Jocks will be in charge of further training, "Laurist said.
"Yes, Sir. I'll do as you say," Pacico promised.
Laurist looked at Steward Kedan. "What's the situation like at Poplar Beach?"
After staying in the Monolith Castle for more than a month, Laurist received a messenger from the Maple Manor. According to the messenger, Beiye Town had already sent people to the manor to urge Laurist to start building a new town at Poplar Beach as soon as possible. Beiye Town had already prepared manpower and resources, and was willing to contribute their strength to the construction of the new town. Steward Spear replied according to the previous arrangement. She said that the Lord was currently building a new checkpoint in the Morgan Hills to fight against the Kenneth Family. He had no time to spare and might need some time.
As a result, in the next half a month, the messenger from Beiye Town even ran to the Monolith Castle to see Laurist, asking for the construction to start as soon as possible. Thus, Laurist sent Steward Kedan ahead to prepare the construction materials for the new town at Poplar Beach.
Steward Kedan smiled. "Sir, it's just as you expected. Poplar Beach is in a mess now. The four major families of Beiye Town have already gone against the smaller families. Especially the guards who were dismissed. Their emotions are even more intense. They all think that they were deceived by the four major families and hate them very much. As per your orders, I didn't care about the disputes between them other than handing over the construction materials at Poplar Beach. If there's any conflict, I'll let the four major families settle it. There was even a group fight two days ago, and a few people were injured … "
"How are the mercenaries?" Laurist asked.
"The mercenaries are doing their job. Other than guarding their own camp, they haven't interacted with the people of Beiye Town. Other than hearing that they had a dispute with the women at the beginning, they've been very well-behaved. After Jim and the others came back, they sent the mercenaries out to familiarize themselves with the terrain, "Steward Kedan said.
"I'll be going to Poplar Beach in a few days. Steward Kedan, we can put the matter of Beiye Town aside for now. Pay attention to the mercenaries these two days and urge them to survey the terrain as soon as possible. We need to find a good location to build a military camp at the intersection of the two mountains. Only by building a military stronghold will we be able to better divide the middle and small families in Northern Field Town and have them work for us. "Laurist said while rubbing his chin.
"Yes, Sir. I understand what to do." Steward Kedan nodded.
"Then let's do this. Everyone stay here for lunch before leaving."
… …
"Redi, where did you run off to? Move the box from my car to my room, "Laurist ordered when he saw Redi enter the courtyard.
"Yes, Sir."
When Laurist went upstairs, he found that Elina had already woken up and was wiping the floor with her butt in the air. She quickly got up when she saw him and greeted, "Sir, h-how are you …"
"Elina, I'm fine. But you don't look good … "Laurist walked over and snatched the rag from Elina's hand and threw it into the wooden bucket on the floor.
"My … Lord, I … What did I do wrong …" The girl began to tremble again.
Laurist carried the girl and sat down on the recliner by the window. "Elina, I'm not saying that you didn't do well. On the contrary, you're very obedient, and I like it. But you must remember that you are my woman. You can ask other servants to do the menial work like wiping the floor. You can just do some light work like making the bed and cleaning the desk. When you have nothing to do, you can read, sleep, and dress up. If you're really bored, you can make some snacks … "
"But S-Sir …" Elina stuttered as she curled up in Laurist's arms. "I-I'm just a maid. It's my duty to do these chores. W-What you said belongs to the noble madam …"
"You are my maid. To others, you are the noble madam. Do you understand? I will find two more maids, and they will listen to your orders … "
"But, but, Milord, if two more maids were to come, this, this place won't be able to live, and, and, and, the bed isn't big enough …"
"Hehe …" Laurist laughed heartily and scratched Elina's nose. "What are you thinking in that little head of yours? Do you think I'm a big b * tch? I don't carry every maid to bed, but you are a special one. I like you very much, and that's why I'm letting you sleep with me. Find two more maids and let them live in the guest rooms downstairs. There are two empty guest rooms on the second floor. Let them live in one of them. From now on, they will clean the second floor, and you will be in charge of supervising them. "
The girl's ears turned red from Laurist's laughter. Laurist found it interesting and put her ear in his mouth. The girl stiffened as if she was electrocuted. Then, she fell limp in Laurist's arms and began to tremble again.
Elina's cute and helpless look made Laurist's fingers twitch. However, when he thought of the craziness yesterday, he forcefully suppressed the fire in his heart. "Elina, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. I made you suffer. In the future, if you can't stand it, tell me. Don't endure it silently anymore. When I saw you cry, I realized that I was like a beast in heat. I'm sorry … "
As if she didn't expect Laurist to apologize to her, the girl froze for a while before reacting. "No, no, I'm useless. Sir shouldn't apologize to me …"
"Of course, you have to apologize when you do something wrong. Elina, I won't be so rough in the future. I don't want to see you cry …"
The girl didn't say anything else. She only moved a few times and snuggled into Laurist's arms …
"Ahem, ahem, Sir, the boxes are here."
Laurist had already heard Redi coming up the stairs, but he was too lazy to move. It felt good to hug Elina. However, the girl was like a startled rabbit. She jumped out of Laurist's arms and stood at the side with a red face, not knowing what to do.
"Move the boxes to the table here. Elina, give the chainmail I took off yesterday to this little rascal. Redi, go downstairs and polish the chainmail before bringing it up. Then, follow me to the guards, "Laurist said.
"Hehe, Sir, how long do you need to polish it? Give me a time. I'm afraid that I'll disturb you if it's too fast … "Redi said with a strange smile.
Laurist glared at him. "You've already disturbed us. Go do your work and we'll leave in a while. Why do you have so much to say … "
He opened the box and took out an exquisite jewelry box. "Elina, this is a gift for you. Come, put it on and let me see."
These were the spoils of war from the Red River Valley Manor Castle. There were a few big boxes of female clothing and jewelry, but they seemed to have been shipped to the wrong address. Originally, these were gifts that Viscount Gammus wanted to give to the noble ladies at his party to win their hearts. However, they were escorted to the Red River Valley Manor Castle by the Flying Feather Mercenary Group. Since Viscount Gammus was busy trying to get the pass for his family's armed forces from Duke Luggins, he didn't have time to organize any banquets or parties, so these things were left in the manor and sent back by Serdkamp.
Laurist chose some of these items and brought them back for Elina.
Elina looked at the sapphire necklace in Laurist's hand in a daze. She said insincerely, "S-Sir, t-this is too expensive … I-I don't want it …"
"What's so precious about it? You have to remember that you're my woman. You should dress up nicely. I chose the clothes in this box based on your figure. Try them on, and if you don't fit, you can give them away. There are also some jewelry. They are all yours. You can keep them. "Laurist smiled.
"Um, um … thank you, Sir …"
"Then, I'll go now. Oh, I'll leave the matter of finding two maids to you. If you don't have any suitable ones, ask Steward Spear to choose two for you … "When Laurist went downstairs, he vaguely heard the girl's surprised cheers in the room …
…
Elina was so happy that Laurist could see the joy on the girl's face when he came back at night.
After bathing Laurist and getting on the bed, the girl also took a bath. Then, she wrapped herself in a towel and crawled into Laurist's arms.
Laurist was surprised. "What's wrong? You are usually reluctant when I ask you to come to me. Why are you so proactive today?"
The girl shivered in Laurist's arms and breathed out. "T-Thank you, Sir …"
With a smile, Laurist removed the towel from the girl's body and entered her body gently. Then, he moved slowly and sucked on the girl's earlobe …
The girl couldn't help but let out a tender moan …
The room was filled with spring.
…
Early in the morning, Laurist woke up to the sound of birds chirping. He found that something was wrong with his lower body. He peeked and saw Elina studying her morning erection. She fiddled with it with her little hands from time to time as if she was curious about how this thing made her feel like dying. Perhaps it was because she imagined that this thing was moving in and out of her body, Elina used her fingers to measure the length of it and then her lower body. Then, she widened her eyes in shock as if she couldn't believe that her body could accommodate such a huge thing …
Laurist laughed out loud.
Seeing that Laurist was awake, the girl blushed and wanted to get off the bed, but Laurist pulled her back. "Don't go. I'll teach you a way to make me happy …"
"Open your mouth … Lower it … Yes, hold it … Just like holding a sausage … Move it up and down …"
"Ouch, hiss … Don't bite with your teeth, idiot. It hurts. Do it like just now. Yes … Uh … It feels good … Just like this … Continue …"
"Tired? Okay, I'll do it … "
Laurist put the girl down and got on …
…
I took my sword and went downstairs to the courtyard. Padt, Redi and the guards were doing their morning exercises.
"Mm, I have to start my second morning exercise …" Laurist looked up at the sky in a good mood. What good weather …

Aside: I rushed to finish a chapter in two days at my relative's house, and it just so happened that I wrote this chapter. It's like I'm a thief …
