Chapter 103 – Plancia (2)
“How is he doing?”
“It seems like he still needs some time to adapt to the farm. Still, he eats well and is very energetic, so I think he will adapt quickly.”
Isabel rubbed his hair while saying that. It was because she could no longer live as a lady reading a book and drinking tea. The local nobles had handed over ownership of the vineyards to Isabel on the condition that they enjoy the pleasures of the cellar forever.
“Evan. My head hurts so much Hug me quickly.”
From taxes to her management, Isabelle shuddered between her thick books and stretched her arms out to me. I sat down next to her and surrendered meekly like a cat owned by mobsters. Isabel rested, stroking my hair or holding me tight, closing her eyes.
Isabelle asked, kissing her on my forehead.
“Evan. Did you go on a business trip and have sex a lot?”
“It was awesome. Fuck Sylvia, seduce another woman and make her a servant, and have sex all night in the woods with Rumia and Sylvia.”
“Sue, in the woods?”
When Isabel told me that she had sex in the woods, she looked at me in amazement. I turned my head and looked out the window. For Isabel, the image that comes to mind when you hear the word ‘forest’ is the wide-open forest behind our house. She seemed to know that I had played a public play right under her nose in town.
“I did it by hiding where others couldn’t see it.”
“Oh, is that so? That… Evan, if you’d like to do that with me…”
Isabelle couldn’t finish her sentence with ‘I’ll do my best’. With her face dyed red, only her head was shaken, and then she tapped my arm and started screaming. I laughed off her mischievous charms and flipped through the books Isabel was studying.
“Is this what you are studying these days?”
“Huh. However, it is too difficult. I don’t even know how to do this… I wonder if we should hire another caretaker.”
“Sophia doesn’t know how to do this?”
“He said he didn’t know how to calculate these numbers. More than that, even though Sophia is a servant, isn’t she overworked? No matter how competent you are, you can’t use it if you make it work so hard.”
It was right, so I slightly averted my eyes. As she said, she did everything that Sofia asked her to do, so when trouble happened, she called Sophia first. Yesterday, while Elena was trying out a new dish, she called Sofia out saying that the recipe was confusing, and Sophia got annoyed.
“No, I am from the factory. I’m not that good at cooking. I mean, I’m not an educated person.”
“Ah, was that so? Sorry… I hope you are good at anything. I knew you would know this too. Mi, sorry Would you like some sweets?”
“Huh. Want some.”
Of course, the annoyance was relieved lightly by Elena giving him a snack. I giggled as I recalled the incident, flipped through the book, and told Isabel.
“Certainly, it would be nice to have a more competent manager to run the farm. I’ve never done anything like that, and Isabel, you don’t know much about that either.”
“Wouldn’t Elena do well? Our Elena is good at cleaning and cooking. She might even be good at business.”
“If Elena gets mad, who cooks now?”
“Yes. I’d rather just study hard.”
Isabelle nodded her head and raised her pen again. I looked out of her window and rested her head on her shoulder. The pen scratched the paper in sync with the sound of the second hand ticking. I could hear dishes moving in the quiet room, and I could hear Sophia yawning as she stretched downstairs. It was as if the noises were coming together and whispering to me to sleep.
She lowered her head and closed her heavy eyelids. The moment you fall into a deep sleep
“Evan.”
Isabelle called my name. I answered, opening her eyes as wide as I could, as if I hadn’t slept.
“Ah yes. Oh, I didn’t sleep. Tired… Oh fuck.”
Isabel opened her eyes wide and looked at me, and I shook my head and leaned back on her back. It was because bad memories came back. The desire to sleep that dominated my head a moment ago disappeared as if it had been washed.
Said Isabelle, poking her own lips with her pen.
“Evan. Is our Alice doing well?”
“…You don’t want to study, do you?”
My question seemed to hit the mark. Isabelle shrugged her shoulders with a mysterious expression, then gave her a reluctant nod and a grin.
“Really… Why don’t you understand the heart of a mother who cares about her daughter?”
But her mouth was still saying mischievous things. I said pinching her cheek.
“Study. Study. That way you will grow up to be a great person.”
“Ouch, ah, it hurts! Evan! Ah Okay! I will study!”
She grabbed my wrist, flapping her hand as I grabbed her cheek and pulled her up. When I let go of her cheek, her body landed on the chair and rubbed her cheek, looking at the book again. She pursed her lips in slight dissatisfaction, then loosened her expression again, and I think Isabel has too much to know right now.
She still needed more time to fully function as an entrepreneur. Isn’t there a case where beginners are put into practice right away? I said with a deep sigh.
“Ah, where is the promising manager not falling? Or, can’t we call in some local dignitaries and ask them for advice?”
“They can only make noise like pigs now. I lost my intellect in my madness of pleasure. Sofia says that not going in is good for your mental health.”
“Who comes in when serving food?”
“Sophia just pushed food down the bowl and ran away.”
“Fuck, the source of my power is those bastards.”
I tried to erase the image I kept imagining. Due to the influence of the magic circle installed by Sophia and the brainwashing we put on them, they have become human factories that autonomously spit out lust and desire to supply us with strength and take care of their own food.
I’ve never seen it before, so I don’t know what kind of shape it has changed, but I don’t think I’ll see anything in the future.
“Lady! Lady! A letter came from the home of Plancia!”
It was just as Isabel was about to focus on her book again. Elena, who was on the first floor, was coming up the stairs carrying her letter. Isabelle put down her pen with a very serious expression at the news of her letter. It seemed that I hadn’t wanted to study for too long, so I smiled inwardly, and Sophia, who was downstairs, came up with a curious face.
“Where…”
Isabel carefully tore off the cover of her letter and began to read it. Sitting next to her, I was able to read all of her letters without having to read them out loud.
[Flancia Isabel. We deeply regret that our immaturity led us to become involved with the evil demon Carlson. And, congratulations on your remarriage, and I wish the couple a bright future awaiting them.
Plancia Isabel. Before the wedding, I ask you to come to the Plancia mansion in the capital with your husband. I hope you spend a warm time with your family for the first time in a long time.]
“What. Is it an invitation?”
“Huh. It’s an invitation It doesn’t feel too good to be invited like this all of a sudden.”
Isabelle shook her head and said so. Elena nodded her head as well.
“That’s right. Lady. I’ve never been worried about it or given proper support until now. When Carlson was beating up like that, he acted like it was someone else’s business, so what kind of wind blew the invitation like this?”
Isabelle said with a frown on her face.
“I think we found out we ate the vineyard. So, I wonder if this is because they want to make a deal with me. Because the people of the Plancia family never try to act on things that do not benefit them.”
“What if it’s a deal?”
“Wouldn’t it be a transaction like asking for part of the profits in exchange for a manager? It’s too late now to talk about my marriage, and I’m afraid it’s probably not related to the vineyard. What do we do?”
Isabel didn’t take it easy when she said she was going. However, I thought I should go to the capital with her. If Isabel’s predictions are correct, she could get a caretaker to take care of the plantation while Isabel is ready, and if they try to make a ridiculous deal or try to rob us of anything, I’ll just get out of my way and run away. Was
Besides, a daughter from an aristocratic family could not easily refuse an invitation from her parents.
“If I say no, can I not go?”
“Since you invited me, you will have to shine her face. Anyway, unlike me, Alice is supported by the Plancia family. I can’t harm Alice for nothing… I still don’t know what the family side might ask for. I have to go for now, but I’m not very keen on it. Coming as a married couple, is Evan trying to humiliate you?”
“I’m used to being insulted a lot. I don’t care so let’s go Talk to Rumia and research some strategies to hide demons, and be prepared to run away if you try to do something strange.”
Isabelle nodded her head with her anxious face.
And.
“Are you okay. Her husband is the strongest demon. What are you so afraid of?”
When her wife was frightened, it was her husband’s job to reassure her that nothing was wrong.

“By the way, is that woman worthwhile?”
Plancia Gazoo asked the woman, flicking her mustache. She asked the man back as the woman smiled sinisterly.
“In what way are you talking? Night technology? Or, looks?”
“Anyway, Plancia Isabel is the daughter of an aristocratic family. If she’s to the point of taking a woman like that at once, she thinks that man is also something… I wonder if he has amazing technique. What if you stick to it? Something like that. Isn’t there a saying that a woman’s heart is a reed?”
The woman shook her head and giggled at the words of her family head.
“You worry too much. No way. He says she is a child who has been thoroughly raised as her tool since she was a child. She’s trained since she was little by injecting her medicine so that she doesn’t feel pleasure. A bashful prostitute is no match. To expect. After squeezing a man very hard, you’ll see him put on a sly performance.”
The woman smiled confidently.
