Farming in the Magical World

After hearing Frank's solution, Lenny nodded in satisfaction.

It's normal for bandits to wander around, right? Plus, Frank completely obliterated "Grandma Mei's" remains, leaving almost no way to verify her identity—perfect!

“Okay, let’s do it this way!” Lenny snapped his fingers, making the final decision.

"Frank, have Madam come to the study." After settling the matter of "Grandma Mei," Lanny immediately asked the butler to invite Madam over.

As the mistress of the castle, Tiffany was the last person he needed to comfort, and also the most important one.

Once Melissa's identity is "taken care of," the problem will be solved.

"Should we tell Madam her true identity?" He glanced at Melissa beside him, and a slight tremor appeared in his usually calm gaze.

Who would have thought that an old woman he had known for many years was actually a great magician? This was quite unexpected.

Of course, you could also say that Melissa hid it very well.

“Hmm… …” Lanny nodded. “I don’t intend to lie to her. I will tell her the truth.”

After Tim and Frank left the study, Melissa walked up to Lanny, looking at him with a half-smile. "You're about to meet the king, aren't you nervous? Hahahaha..."

"Stop messing around!" Lanny exclaimed, startled by Melissa's almost absurd behavior. "Tiffany's coming right away!"

"Haha, what's there to be afraid of? We didn't do anything, so what if we saw it!"

Melissa snorted indifferently; she found the little nobleman's expression utterly hilarious.

Feeling Melissa's seemingly joking attitude, Lanny had a headache. He could only look her in the eye seriously and say, "Don't be like that! It's nothing, but if Tiffany misunderstands, I'm worried she'll break down!"

“Sigh…” Lanny sighed and briefly explained Tiffany’s identity and the recent events.

He paused, then sighed again, "She was a pitiful person too..."

Upon hearing that Tiffany had such a past and background, Melissa lost her mischievous intentions and straightened up, stepping back slightly.

"It's really quite pitiful! But you get used to it. It's like this in big families!" Melissa shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

As she said, in the Bauhinia Kingdom, secret lovers are not uncommon, and illegitimate children are naturally not uncommon.

Even her father had seven or eight mistresses, yet her mother seemed completely unconcerned, still deeply in love with him. Growing up in such an environment, it's easy to imagine her views on these matters.

However, it was rare for a biological father to scheme for the titles of his own daughter and son-in-law; it was somewhat beyond her comprehension.

Seeing Lenny's serious expression, she felt a surge of teasing. "Nothing to begin with? What do you want? I don't really care..."

She was only halfway through her sentence when footsteps came from outside the door, and Lanny immediately raised her hand to stop her rambling. "Shh, Tiffany and the others are here!"

Melissa, who also heard the footsteps, changed her expression and immediately put on a serious face, which amazed Lanny. He thought to himself, "As expected of a woman, she is indeed a born performer."

However, at the same time, Lanny secretly warned himself not to be fooled by this fickle woman, otherwise...

"Young Master, Madam has arrived!" Frank, contrary to his usual behavior, announced loudly before even entering the room, as he had just reached the door.

Lanny, who hadn't thought much of it at first, felt embarrassed by Frank's behavior.

It seems that although Frank didn't say anything, he still doesn't know what he thinks about his relationship with Melissa. Before, he always knocked on the door and came in directly.

"Ahem... Come in!"

Lanny had no time to let his mind wander, so he could only let the two of them in first, while also giving Melissa a warning look once again not to do anything reckless.

With a creak, the study door opened, and Frank gestured for Tiffany to come in.

Upon entering, Tiffany immediately turned her gaze to Melissa, who was standing in the room, her eyes filled with wariness and inquiry.

When she discovered that the woman was unexpectedly beautiful, she was slightly taken aback, and her heart immediately filled with sorrow.

She had asked Frank on the way there why Lenny wanted her to go to the study, so it seemed really strange that Lenny was inviting her into the study now.

According to her husband's habits, he should be dealing with castle affairs at this time, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything that could be related to her.

Frank explained it simply: a nobleman from the Bauhinia Kingdom had fallen on hard times and needed shelter in the castle, and Lanny hoped that this nobleman, who was a great mage, could guide his magical training.

Upon hearing that he was a great mage, she didn't think much of it, subconsciously assuming that since he had reached the level of a great mage, he must be an old man.

Moreover, as the ruling class of the entire group, if someone who is also a noble comes to them seeking refuge, they will generally provide some assistance, which not only makes them look good but also earns them a good reputation.

Of course, if they were not nobles and still wanted to impersonate others, once they were exposed, the dungeon or the guillotine would be their final destination.

But to her utter surprise, this so-called fallen nobleman turned out to be such a charming and mature woman.

She sensed danger instantly, and felt the hairs on her body stand on end.

"Darling, is there something you need?" Tiffany gave Melissa a deep look before forcing a smile. Uncharacteristically, she walked behind Lanny, bent down, and hugged Lanny's neck, but a sense of sorrow welled up inside her.

My own father was like this, and now my husband is going to be like this too? Men really can't escape their lustful nature, haha!

As a woman in a male-dominated world, what can she do if her husband likes beautiful women?

She couldn't help but wonder if Louise felt the same way she did when her mother first stepped into the castle.

Would I make the same choice as Louise?

Immediately, she shook her head inwardly, feeling that no matter what, she could never do such a thing.

She would do everything in her power to protect her own marriage, but she felt she couldn't bring herself to harm any innocent children who might be born in the future.

Seeing Tiffany's actions, Melissa raised an eyebrow, and she immediately understood what Tiffany meant.

It's just a protest, huh? Ha, how naive!

She didn't feel threatened at all; in fact, she almost laughed.

In her eyes, this Tiffany was just like those foolish women she had seen in the Bauhinia Kingdom back then, who were jealous of men and fought over them. In order to win her husband's favor and her lover's attention, she spent a lot of time dressing up every day like a grouse in courtship, and fought openly and secretly with her "love rivals" in various situations. She was both pitiful and pathetic!

Haha, she's not that kind of woman, and she would never be that kind of woman.

Melissa's raised eyebrow and the disdain in her eyes made Tiffany tense up, sensing a strong hostility.

"Darling, who is she?" Tiffany asked Lanny with a smile, but her gaze toward Melissa was icy cold.

Feeling Tiffany's tense body pressed against him, Lenny felt a little embarrassed and patted Tiffany's arm, saying softly, "Honey, we have guests!"

After saying that, he stood up and pointed seriously to Melissa not far away. "This is Miss Melissa, who is both a great magician and a noblewoman. From now on, she will teach me magic."

Seeing how formally Lanny introduced them, Tiffany also stepped out from behind Lanny, stood in front of Melissa, looked her up and down, and then suddenly smiled. She crossed her arms over her stomach, slightly bowed, and performed a standard aristocratic half-squat. "Greetings, sister. I'm entrusting my Lanny to you from now on. Please take good care of him!"

Melissa stepped forward and helped Tiffany up, smiling at her. "Sister, you don't need to be so polite. I'm just a fallen nobleman! Don't worry, I will definitely keep Lanny in check!"

She spoke politely, looking at Tiffany with a beaming smile, but secretly she was laughing to herself.

This Tiffany is really interesting, calling herself "sister," is she implying I'm old?

But I must say, upon closer inspection, this young lady's snow-white face was almost wrinkle-free, and her fair skin was practically glowing; it was truly enviable.

She is no longer young. Although her skin and figure look good from a distance, only she knows that her skin is no longer smooth and delicate and is gradually showing the signs of aging.

In addition, the constant dyeing and disguise over the years has caused even more damage to her skin, and she can clearly feel that her beautiful youth is gradually fading away.

Extending his right hand, he gently brushed the back of his hand across Tiffany's cheek, and amidst Tiffany's bewildered expression, he exclaimed with envy, "Tsk tsk tsk, how do you maintain such beautiful and smooth skin! I'm so envious of you, little sister!"

"Just by looking at the younger sister, I could tell she was a well-educated and polite noble lady. She's truly a pitiful sight, tsk tsk tsk..."

After saying that, he turned to Lanny with a teasing look, "Kid, you've really hit the jackpot! You must be laughing in your sleep to have such a beautiful wife, right? You'd better cherish her!"

Hearing Melissa's undisguised envy, Tiffany was at a loss. The wariness on her face slowly disappeared, revealing a sense of confusion.

The moment she first saw Melissa, she immediately felt threatened by a beauty of equal caliber. The unsettling look in Melissa's eyes as she gazed at Lanny only heightened her vigilance.

To her surprise, the other person immediately took her hand. The moment the other person reached out and touched her face, a lot of thoughts raced through her mind. She really couldn't figure out what trick the other person was up to.

"What does she mean?"

But now, with all the praise and the way she was being scolded like a little brother, Melissa was confused. She couldn't quite figure out what Melissa meant.

"Could it be that she really sees Lanny as a little brother?"

Looking at Melissa, who was all smiles and laughter, Tiffany couldn't tell for a moment which one was the truth.

"Alright, little sister, let's go next door and chat for a while, let's ignore these men!" Sensing Tiffany's softened attitude, Melissa seized the opportunity and pulled away the still-dazed Tiffany, leaving Frank and Lenny looking at each other in bewilderment.

No, strictly speaking, only Lenny looked completely bewildered; Frank remained standing calmly in place, saying nothing.

Listening to Melissa's cheerful laughter all the way, Lanny couldn't help but admire this woman; she could pretend to be anything and do it all so well.

After making her feelings clear, she immediately dared to kiss him.

He showed no remorse for being a third party when he met the wife, and managed to confuse Tiffany with just a few words.

What's this? A mature, sophisticated woman crushing a naive, youthful goddess?

This reminded him of the independent women of later generations, who were equally adept in their careers and bold in their love lives. Could she be considered one of the earliest career women?

Tiffany was indeed too young. She clearly didn't know how formidable Melissa was. After being praised by Melissa, she was easily charmed and followed her rival to her room.

Whether the two are rivals or not is another matter, but at least you'll have to put up a fight for a while; it's like the game ended before it even began.

He thought the two would have some kind of open and covert struggle when they met, and he was prepared to separate them, but this is how it turned out?

Although it was unexpected, he breathed a huge sigh of relief, and his worries were finally put to rest.

He rubbed his face vigorously with both hands to refresh himself before looking at the old butler standing next to him. "Frank, please sit down. I have some questions for you."

Frank glanced at the young master behind the desk, walked over and slowly sat down opposite him, wondering what the young master wanted to see him about.

Should we still arrange things related to Melissa? But that doesn't seem right. After all, the hurdle of Melissa's identity has been resolved, so what else needs to be prepared?

To his surprise, Lenny's first words were, "I've heard that my grandfather, Wells Claudia, was a magician. Did you know that?"

Frank was about to get up when Lenny stopped him again, saying, "Let's talk while we're sitting down. My neck is getting tired from standing."

Helpless, the old butler could only continue sitting, bowing slightly as a gesture of respect before speaking, but the content of his words left Lanny completely bewildered.

"Actually, strictly speaking, Lord Claudia is not a magician!"

"Strictly speaking?" Lanny was a little confused. What kind of answer was that? Or should we say something less strictly?

"Yes," the old butler nodded and said softly, "Strictly speaking, he is not a magician, but a vampire!"

"What, vampires?"

This script is wrong. Isn't it supposed to be a magical world? How did it turn into a fantasy world?
