Farming in the Magical World

Elfen, Earl's Castle.

Louise Capet, Angus Einar's legal wife, was anxiously waiting at the door.

According to the kingdom's custom, she married Angus and naturally changed her name to Louise Enno.

She was the third daughter of Grand Duke Capet of the southern border of the kingdom. Years ago, when Angus was traveling through the kingdom, the two fell in love at first sight and soon became inseparable.

Angus was of good status and very handsome, so Grand Duke Capet betrothed her to him as Countess of Angus-Eno.

Louise is in her forties now. The two had a good relationship before marriage, and after marrying Angus, they enjoyed a few years of comfortable life. She also gave birth to a son for Angus.

However, the good times didn't last long. Shortly after the birth of their first child, Angus's playboy nature resurfaced, and he secretly started having affairs, which gave her a lot of headaches.

During this time, she secretly dealt with many secret lovers, and each time she did so after Angus had grown tired of them. Moreover, if she had a child, she would take it back to the castle and raise it as her own child, which thankfully did not cause Angus to react too strongly.

But one day, Angus brought back a woman and personally settled her in the castle, making her almost the de facto second wife. This made Louise feel a strong threat and drove her crazy with anger.

But Angus kept a close eye on her. The woman was really beautiful, and he never had a chance to make a move, nor did he dare to easily anger his husband.

Soon, the wild woman gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Tiffany Eyno, which made it even harder for her to accept.

Every time she saw this bastard, she wanted to strangle him.

But she knew it wouldn't work; Angus still coveted that wild woman, and she had to endure it.

Based on his understanding of her husband, Angus would eventually get tired of this woman and stop caring about her. No matter how beautiful she was, Angus's philandering ways would never change.

As she expected, although Angus persisted for a long time this time, he eventually became less concerned, and she knew that her opportunity had come.

After careful preparation and various maneuvers, she finally drove away the wild woman. This time, she planned to drive away the bastard Tiffany as well, but Angus stopped her.

According to him, a member of the Eno family could not marry a commoner, as that would tarnish the noble Eno family.

Alright, alright, since you're afraid of tarnishing the Enno family, I'll find her a nobleman. A baron is a nobleman, isn't he?

When his father sent word that things were getting increasingly difficult in the South, he was worried about the future of the family. So he decided to send his youngest son, Arnold, to the North in hopes that she could help arrange a title for him.

After much deliberation and considering various options, she finally chose the Wells family of Castells Ridge.

Nalani is a playboy, short-tempered, and utterly incompetent. It would be perfect to marry Tiffany to him and then uproot the Wells family, killing two birds with one stone.

She was quite pleased with this plan for a long time. Even the idea of ​​luring August to borrow money from the Enoch family was something she arranged for a knight to do.

It took her a lot of effort to persuade Angus.

It's not that he's reluctant to part with his daughter. Although Angus says that, after so many years of marriage, who doesn't know who the other is?

Isn't it just that he's worried about causing concern among the other minor nobles under his rule? Isn't it just that he's a little reluctant to part with August, one of his two major combat forces?

But when he told her that the Capet family would be giving up some of their businesses in the capital, Angus immediately agreed to her plan, even more eager than she was.

Today, she was waiting for Angus at the castle gate, just to find out as soon as possible whether the barbarian bandits had wiped out the Wells family and whether they had gotten rid of that bastard she hated so much.

But after waiting and waiting, no one showed up, and she started to get anxious, thinking that nothing bad should have happened.

But she quickly shook her head. After all, what could possibly go wrong with more than sixty barbarians clearing out the Wells family, which had lost August and had asked her to persuade all the knights to leave?

"Madam, Madam, Master is back!" A maid came running excitedly from afar, calling out as she ran.

After all, a person can't outrun a horse. Before she could even get close, Angus's figure had already appeared on the road in the distance.

She glanced at the maid who had been sent to check on the road, then adjusted her skirt and went to greet her husband.

"You've worked hard, darling! Did it go smoothly this time?"

She thought Angus would naturally give a smooth answer, but to her surprise, Angus ignored her, pulled on the reins, bypassed her, and went straight back to the castle.

Louise stood there dumbfounded, her face extremely ugly. She glanced at the silent crowd around her, snorted, and then turned and went back to the castle.

Only after she left, and the servants who had come to greet the count, did they secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

If I were to show even the slightest smile when the lady is in an embarrassing situation, I'm afraid I wouldn't live to see the sun rise tomorrow. The castle servants already know the lady's habits, so who would dare to be presumptuous?

When Louise returned to the castle, Angus was already sitting in his study, holding a teacup in one hand and stroking his beard with the other, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong? Not going well?" Louise walked into the study, stood in front of Angus, and looked at the handsome man before her.

Although she is no longer young, the face she once adored still possesses considerable charm; in fact, with the passing years, she has gained a touch of maturity.

It would be so great if he weren't so fickle!

Louise sighed inwardly; her husband's philandering was giving her a real headache.

Upon hearing her voice, Angus put down his water glass, a look of confusion, bewilderment, and disbelief flashing across his face.

"Hmm, not going well. Those Grummen just ran away without doing anything! It's really hard to understand."

Hearing that the bastard was still alive, Louise couldn't bear it any longer and shrieked, "What?! That bastard...! Angus, if my brother doesn't get the title, you won't get any business in the capital!"

Hearing his wife scream, Angus picked at his ear in disgust and said helplessly, "I'm trying to figure something out, but I'm also a bit undecided and don't know what to do next!"

"I don't care about that, you need to hurry, Father is already urging you."

Louise threw the difficult question out to him, and then used her father as a threat.

"It's strange, really..."

Angus ignored his wife's threat and instead looked at her strangely. He knew that this woman would calm down after a while, and since it concerned her brother's title, she was more anxious than he was.

"Those Grummen actually fled, and they seemed to be in a panic. I heard they lost a lot of things, and their forces even split up along the way." He stroked his chin and analyzed to himself, "Could it be that Tim is really that powerful?"

This was something he had been trying to figure out the whole way, but couldn't.

Is Tim really that powerful? He actually managed to kill August at Dragonfall Ridge?

But if it wasn't him, then who could it be? After all, all the knights of the Wells family had run away, leaving only him as the last knight.

Lanny probably can't even hold a knight's sword properly, right?

Sure enough, Louise, who had been throwing a tantrum, calmed down and sat down next to Angus, looking at him and asking for details.

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

Seeing that Louise had finally calmed down, Angus then recounted the details of the trip: first, they surrounded them from three sides, then followed, coerced, and drove them away, hoping that these Grummans would wreak havoc on the Wells family.

Only after discovering that these guys had run away did he lead his noble army to Wells Castle at a leisurely pace, only to find that the castle had not been damaged in any way.

"I was worried that Nalani and Leonard would have too much contact, which would make things complicated later, so I immediately sent the noble army back!"

After recounting their experiences, the two men in the study fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, Louise finally spoke, breaking the quiet of the room.

"Or, let's go all out and send some knights to disguise themselves as bandits. I refuse to believe that a dozen knights can't handle Tim..."

Looking at his wife's fierce expression, Angus curled his lip, speechless at this stupid idea.

"Foolish! Everyone knows the knights under my command. Leonard might just go to Burton and complain about me!"

"Who said you were allowed to send knights? I'll have my father send someone."

Louise glanced at Angus with disdain, clearly displeased that her husband underestimated her intelligence.

“It’s been too long. It would take at least half a year to get here from the southern border.” Angus shook his head.

"I suggested that Lanny voluntarily give up his title, but I don't know if the kid understood."

"Will he be willing to relinquish his title?" Louise repeated the words softly, her expression subtle.

"Are you only satisfied when you've put her to death? She's still my daughter!" Seeing his wife's reluctance, Angus grew impatient and frowned as he reprimanded her.

Although he had no feelings for this daughter and had promised Louise he would deal with her, it was impossible for him not to feel any regret.

After all, Tiffany is truly beautiful. Even if she were used to win over lower-ranking nobles in the future, it would be a good use. Why waste her beauty?

“If you hadn’t been so unable to control your pants, why would I have gone to such lengths?” Louise said angrily, her voice becoming shrill.

"What did you say when you married me? Have you changed all these years? I still have to clean up your messes all this time."

"Don't you know how the fifth and sixth sons came to be? Didn't I treat them like my own children? If you hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on bringing that wild woman back to the castle to raise her children yourself, would I have called her a bastard, huh?"

After venting her anger, Louise then threatened in a sinister tone, "Don't forget, the business you promised the capital included that bastard!"

"Bastard, bastard, all you ever say is bastard. She's definitely my daughter, not born to some random man. That's what a bastard is. When will you stop?"

Hearing Louise go on and on, revealing all his secrets, Angus became angry and lost his temper.

Ultimately, the two parted on bad terms.
