The plan was simple. Rather than going out of my way to build a new mansion, I would just order the renovation of the existing mansion in the Delmon Territory and give it to Rosalyn Yuba and Robin as their newlywed home. This way, I was providing a newlywed home grand enough not to disgrace the Rosalyn Family's name. And the money spent would be less than half of the original construction plan.
In addition to this, I planned to appoint Rosalyn Yuba and Robin as middle managers, having them take full charge of handling grievances in the Delmon Territory area. The tax would be collected on our side, but if they calculated the budget needed to handle the grievances and sent an invoice, I planned to allocate the amount of money accordingly.
Rosalyn Yuba's consent was essential for this plan, and in addition, the Rosalyn Family's consent was absolutely necessary. So, I first proposed only the idea of recycling the existing mansion and sent a letter to the Rosalyn Family explaining the details of this plan.
"Currently, we are severely short on hands within the territory, so I wish to borrow the wisdom of Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba, the darling of the Rosalyn Family. I would appreciate it if you could grant your permission."
It was a short letter with roughly that kind of content. While sending the letter and handling other grievances by calculating the budget, I recruited capable young people to work in the Delmon Territory. Through Sieri's parents, who were originally from the Delmon Territory, I was able to distinguish the useful youth from the hoodlums amidst the countless resumes pouring in.
Meanwhile, Soya headed for the Northern Region. Considering the maintenance cycle of a mage, there was no problem even if she left her post for about fifteen days. Having packed fifteen days' worth of travel expenses and clothes to change into, Soya looked at me again and waved her hand.
"Then, My Lord. I-I! I will be going now!"
"Yes. Take care of yourself."
"T-Take care... Yes. Hehehe..."
As for the Elf Queen issue, I planned to consult with Ati first before handling it.
"Husband. Then I will be going as well."
For the problem regarding the bandit group [Siamese Cat], I sent Eve and Elsi. Robin said he would go himself, but I deliberately dispatched Eve. It was because my wife, Eve, needed to show a heroic side for the people to trust and follow her, a mermaid hybrid. When I explained to Robin why I sent Eve, he quickly nodded in understanding.
After fully handling the territory's mansion renovation, the bandit group grievance, and the Northern Region deployment in this manner, only trivial grievances remained. While handling those grievances, I worked with Sieri sitting on my lap. Her face clearly showing signs of fatigue, she was bewildered by my absurd service.
"M-My Lord. W-What is this..."
"Sieri. I heard you were sad because I didn't even show you my face before going to Ahildern?"
"Yes? Ah, w-well, I was, but..."
"Take a rest today and look at my face to your heart's content. It's nice, right?"
"Ah, well... But still, this is... I-I also have to work, and..."
"You finished all the bookkeeping by yesterday, so you don't have anything to do today. I heard you were originally going to attend service. I heard everything from Aira."
"T-Then you can just hug Aira instead!"
"Should I really do that?"
I stared intently at Sieri and asked. Sieri mumbled with her lips and clutched her head, then shook her head with her ears completely flushed red. The sight of her shaking her head while gritting her teeth was so cute that I lightly bit her earlobe.
"Haeut!"
"Sieri. You know you're my favorite, right?"
"...I don't know. You're going to say the same thing to Ms. Eve anyway."
"I like you both equally, so it's fine."
"...Really?"
"Of course."
Sieri's eyes wavered like water droplets. I stroked Sieri's waist and focused on my work again. Sieri's body scent and hair tickled my body, making it hard to work, but I held it in. Because Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba was currently in this mansion. I absolutely had to prevent the mishap of running into her while having sex in the office.

Fifteen days passed just like that. Eve returned after completely wiping out the bandit group in fifteen days. While she had overflowed with the elegance of a lord's wife when she left, she had transformed into something resembling an extra actor who had just finished filming a sequel to [Tomb Raider]. With an expression full of irritation, she threw the bandit group, who were tied up together like dried yellow corvina, into the middle of the athletic field.
Following Eve, Elsi popped out looking relatively decent. Eve grumbled.
"We should have caught the boss alive. But he was acting up so fucking much that I just killed him. Why do these bastards live so deep inside? Fuck. I wouldn't have found them if it weren't for Elsi."
"I caught more of them."
"Yeah, yeah. Go ask your husband to give you a reward."
I stood in front of the athletic field and examined the faces of the bandit group.
"Please spare us! We only committed these acts to make a living!"
"Process them all according to the law."
The bastards making excuses were a lost cause. According to the law I had established earlier, the entire bandit group was scheduled for execution, and their corpses would be put on public display in the Delmon Territory area. Listening to the screams of the bandit group being dragged to the execution ground, I placed a new checkmark on my to-do list.
A great many things had been accomplished over the fifteen days. The renovation of the first floor of the Delmon Territory mansion was completed, and Rosalyn Yuba and Robin had moved in. Robin planned to commute from the mansion to our territory from now on. I had also granted approval for all the urgent petitions requested from the Delmon Territory area, and properly collected the tax to increase the territory's assets.
I scoured through the tax statement to check if there were any bastards who hadn't paid properly like the previous tenant farmer incident, but there were no discrepancies in the taxes.
Finally, I reclaimed all the property embezzled by the village chief who had temporarily managed the territory last time, and carried out the execution of his entire family on charges of stealing the lord's assets. In this manner, the Delmon Territory was gradually regaining its stability. I could finally catch my breath as my work was finished. Now, all matters would be concluded with Soya's return. However.
"Did Soya die?"
"Who knows?"
Soya was not returning. It had been well over 15 days, yet Soya and the coachman were still not making their return.
I couldn't help but feel anxiety. What the fuck is going on? Neither Eve nor Sieri could understand my unease. Even Aira merely reacted with puzzlement, failing to comprehend the true nature of the anxiety I was expressing.
And so, Soya finally returned after a long 20 days. Coming back with the coachman after 20 days, Soya had a very pale facial expression and was shivering violently. I cast a sideways glare at the coachman, but the coachman just scratched his head with a sheepish look. I forcefully maintained my composure and asked the coachman.
"Coachman. What happened?"
"Ah... W-Well... When we first went to the Northern Region, Lady Emilia, the current Grand Duke of the North, came out and pleaded so much for us to stay the night."
I looked at Soya. Soya nodded her head and continued stammering.
"S-She asked if we were the people of Peta Territory? W-Well... The emblem of Ahildern is stamped on the carriage, and she said the only elf carriage that would come all the way here belongs to the Peta Territory. So... she kept asking if perhaps we came because you were curious about how she was doing..."
"Was there nothing else besides that?"
"Ah, w-well... Her eyes, her eyes... She had this look in her eyes like she would stab us to death if we said we came for some other business, so I-I just... blurted out whatever came to mind. I t-told her that our My Lord really missed you, Lady Emilia... a-and so he probably sent us to briefly check on the Northern Region's situation with this carriage...!"
"I see."
Soya squeezed her eyes shut after saying that much. But I was indifferent. I was planning to fuck Emilia one more time while I was visiting the Northern Region anyway. According to the rumors, she had regained her health as if she had taken some kind of elixir and was practically flying around. With that much vitality, she would be able to withstand my 1.5x sex, making her fully worth plowing.
"So, is that why you're trembling like this?"
"A-Ah, no. After that, Mister coachman said his uncle runs a ranch near the Northern Mountains... and suggested we go see his uncle's face for a bit. J-Just to see his face for a bit..."
"Yes."
"Aigo, witch. If you say that..."
"Keep talking. Soya."
I made the coachman shut his mouth and ordered Soya to keep talking. Soya trembled as she began her story again.
"S-So we changed directions toward the ranch, but then I suddenly heard the sound of two people having sexual intercourse in there. Ah, I still remember it. 'It feels so good! Do it harder! Harder! I'm going to get pregnant!'"
"And then."
The coachman had his head bowed low, his body shivering uncontrollably. Soya glanced at the coachman before continuing.
"Right then, Mister coachman shouted out loud. 'Uncle! Your nephew is here!' And then, and then from inside... from inside...!"
"From inside?"
"A g-goat came out, and the goat spoke in a human voice saying, 'Aht! You are the master's nephew! Hehe...!' while drooling all over...! Uwaaaaaah!!"
"Fuck...!"
"I-I am normal, My Lord! Please do not fire me!"
The coachman hurriedly made excuses. Even if he hadn't said that, I already knew the coachman was normal. I consoled Soya. Eve silently approached and patted Soya's shoulder.
I also spoke to comfort her.
"To be copulating with a beast... What a truly horrifying preference."
"Ah, uh... um..."
The coachman, Eve, and Soya all nodded their heads with awkward expressions.
Bad bitches.
