Chapter 45: Towards the future (1)

Meat consumption has increased.

Doni cooks a delicious meal every day to the best of his ability.

Emire began to devote himself to stewardship as the number of people in the castle increased slightly.

A farmhand, a servant, and a lady-in-waiting are hired, as well as a pastry chef assistant under Doni.

They are also looking for a nanny for their newborn.

And a dragon wrangler is also wanted.

Erick and John have evolve from servants to full-time dragon wranglers, while everyone else has delegated farm duties and is focusing on raising and managing the dragons.

Barthes has decided to join them.

When Marie said that she could come to Bourg in the summer, a smiling face was left and a lot of heart sweat was pouring out of his eyes.

There was also Pauline.

When Mrs. Cello was out of the room one day, Pauline took advantage of the opportunity and said to Angelique, “Madame…”

“…Are you looking for a dragon wrangler…?”

“Do you know anyone who might be a good fit?”

Pauline’s expression was solemn as she stared at her.

“Can’t I be the one?”

Angelique was taken aback.

“It’s a dangerous job that necessitates a great deal of physical strength.”

” I know.”

“Just because you think they’re adorable doesn’t mean they’ll be overlooked. They are not easily persuaded—what if they go wild and cause problems for others?”

“I will be extremely strict with them so that I am not underestimated—I’m going to work on my physical strength so that I don’t lose to men. Please.”

“Are you serious?”

Pauline gave a nod.

“Alright, I’ll check with Serge.”

Serge immediately came over and asked Pauline a few questions.

He then paused for a moment to reflect.

Concerned, Pauline asked quietly, “Can a girl can’t?”

Serge shook his head, a handsome smile on his face that couldn’t be missed.

“There’s nothing you can’t be just because you’re a girl.”

“Really?”

“I was just considering where to assign you. Perhaps you could manage Blanca.”

Pauline’s eyes widen to the point where they look like they’re about to spill.

“Yes! I’ll give it my all!”

“I’m counting on you.”

—○█○—

Angelique gave birth to a beautiful baby girl exactly one year after arriving in Bourg.

Serge went crazy when he saw her daughter, who had Angelique’s hair and eyes.

“Take a look at her, guys! What a sweetie! There’s another Angelique in my life!

“Serge…”

“Thank you so much, Angelique.”

A big kiss and Angelique’s postpartum exhaustion is forgotten.

They named her Louise.

She will grow up to be loved by everyone in the castle.

The Dukes of Barnier and Montan, who were supposed to be busy, drove all the way to Bourg just to see Louise.

Lord Colgard was moved to tears when he saw his first grandchild, and Lord Felix, who had been laughing at him, somehow caught on and began to cry as well.

“I am so happy. I am so, so happy.”

“I never expected this day to come…. I’m glad, Colgard.”

Lord Colgard’s wounds have completely healed, and he is said to be in remarkably good physical condition, despite the scars.

Lord Colgard, who had received an apology from Barthes, consoled him that he had been duped, and that he should not be blamed given the way he had been treated by the nobles and his daughter’s illness.

Although Barthes claimed to despise all nobles, he had nothing against Lord Colgard.

He bowed his head once more and expressed his deep regret for what he had done to the person to whom he owed so much.

“I’d heard the carriage was rough, but it wasn’t too bad.”

“We prioritized the road to Vignoa to bring the wheat.”

“Wheat…”

When Lord Colgard learned of Angelique’s plans, he promised that the Dukes of Montan would provide transportation from Vignoa at a reduced rate, and that tolls on cargo passing through the Barnier area would be reduced as well.

The two lords explained that this was due to the value of their specialties, not because they were related.
