'As expected, it takes time to gather, so should we set up a relay point and make a teleportation point.'
Ran sighed with her arms folded.
"It's all money."
"But now the top of Romia is in the black, isn't it?"
Ran turned around and nodded at Eustaf.
"Yeah, barely in a year. It's a good thing you're in the black after a year."
It's a good thing I have the funds to hold out.
Investment costs are endless in the beginning of any business, and if you don't fill it up, you'll collapse.
Therefore, basic funds enough to withstand long deficits were the basis for business success.
If you start a business with a small amount of capital, you are likely to forget that money.
'Hooray for Oil Money, or Mana Stone Money.'
Eustaf smirked.
"That's enough, Sugar."
"That's enough. It's going to increase day by day. If you earn a lot, you'd better buy some land around you."
Mumbling, she drooped.
"Eus~"
"Yes."
"You said we were going on vacation in the summer."
"I did."
"But when are we going?"
"Shall we go now?"
Ran opened her eyes when Eustaf said something mixed with laughter.
"Really?"
"Yes, the Tilanoy is complete."
"After a year?"
"Yes."
"Oh, my God."
Ran's green eyes glistened with joy.
"Really? Is Eus available?"
"Does Ran have work?"
"What do you think of Ran Romia de Lazia? Of course I have time to go."
The subordinate is supposed to use it at times like this.
"Then let's go."
Eustaf concluded and decided on a summer vacation in an instant.
When the two couples left the Sky mansion and were working, many of the subordinates below shouted "Hurray".
Tilanoy, designed by Elf, was a beautiful place surrounded by forests and lakes.
It was originally a hunting ground for the Lazian duchy, but it has now been transformed into a royal villa.
As designed by the elves, the elegant and high-rise arches were engraved with beautiful embellishments. Haresh explained that each engraving was a kind of amulet.
Tilanoy, whose green and blue stones were delicately used, meant "The Viridescent Crown" in translation into the official language.
"Pretty········."
The exclamation came out of itself.
The annex in the middle of the forest was a simple place consisting of eight bathrooms, six rooms, and three living rooms.
When glass beads are placed in the forest, they reflect the trees, soil, and sky around them, giving them a forest-like color and bright sunlight.
Ran thought Tilanoy was like that glass beads.
"Eus."
"Yes."
"Why did you ask me to take a vacation now?"
Eustaf approached as Ran asked.
"You said we'd run when the Tilanoy was done."
"I did."
"And it's just summer."
I promised to take a summer vacation.
Ran's eyes narrowed at the words. Eustaf asked if there was anything he couldn't calculate.
"Do you want her to stay, too?"
There were only two people in present-day Tilanoy at Ran's request.
There are times when people will deliver meals and laundry in the morning and evening, but there are only two.
"No, I like two."
Ran grinned.
'You're forgetting your birthday again, aren't you?'
Ran shook her head inside.
'It's a birthday present. I ordered it.... I want to do something else besides what I ordered. What I can do is a birthday meal.'
Eustaf frowned at Ran's expression. I know that expression well.
'What are you plotting?'
He stabbed Ran on the forehead for no reason, wondering if she was going to work here.
"······?"
As surprised Ran pressed her forehead and opened her eyes wide, Eustaf said.
"I don't want to work here."
"Yes."
Ran smiled broadly and nodded. It's been a long vacation. I don't want to waste my time.
"Then let's look inside."
Ran grabbed Eustaf's hand and he was dragged with a smile.
The four rooms were made with the theme of four seasons.
The rooms, which were built with a motif of spring, summer, fall, and winter in Lazia, made each room exclamatory.
Spring was decorated with light yellow colors based on light green topaz and peridot.
Summer was made with dark green emeralds, transparent watery aquamarine, and white lace in crystal, with crystal feet resting by the bedside.
Autumn is made of red coral, pearls, beige, brownish tint, and winter is made of silver eggplants, diamonds and rubies with small silver drops, and creamy silk.
Ran shook the silver drop decoration and chuckle.
When Eustaf saw that, he thought, "Isn't it really like a fairy?" when someone hears, "Who are you wearing your highness' mask?"
"Everything is beautiful. Oh, it's so nice. I want to take a month off."
"You can rest."
"Should I~? It was only a week when we were newly married. Second honeymoon?"
Ran put her arms around Eustaf's neck and said sweetly. Eustaf put aside his work and gently put his lips around his wife's eyes.
"That's nice."
********
Ran got a little nervous.
It's good to be with Eustaf all day. I like it.
'I don't have time.'
I don't have time to make something by myself.
Eventually, Ran decided to kick Eustaf out.
"Eus."
"Yes."
"You said this was the original hunting ground, right?"
"That's right."
"Then I want rabbit fur."
Sorry, bunny.
Ran apologized to the rabbit inside. Eustaf had a curious look.
"Rabbit? This season?"
"Not this season?"
"If you're going to get fur, summer rabbit fur is no good."
"I, I see."
I didn't think of that.
But we decided to force ourselves here.
"Then it can stay alive. I miss it. The rabbit is cute."
"Rabbit?"
"Yes."
Ran nodded her head.
Eustaf's expression became even more strange.
"....All right"
After a moment of silence, Eustaf answered, and Eustaf went out in the room. Eustaf said after he was equipped with hunting gear.
"Don't come outside."
"Yes."
Ran nodded, and he looked at Ran again in doubt.
'What do you mean rabbit is cute?'
It was a sense that didn't make sense to him, but it must be because Ran is cute.
He drove his horse lightly to the hunting ground. They haven't hunted at all lately, so they must be on their guard.
It won't take that long.
Eustaf stopped by the hunter and took some hounds to the forest.
In the meantime, Ran quickly went down to the kitchen. In the kitchen were the ingredients the maid had left behind.
Ran carefully took out the cookbook from the library.
"Nice."
She put on an apron and rolled up her arms. I don't know how long it will take Eustaf to hunt, but ·······
'I don't think Eus will take long.'
I'll hurry.
Ran started to beat the flour.
"Two cups of flour, half a cup of butter······· snow sugar, one cup of sugar··········."
Mumbling in her mouth, she weighed and broke the egg.
"Gosh, let's go!"
With all her might, Ran began to whip the eggs.
It was the process of meringue the whites until white horns were formed.
"My arm hurts."
After a short break, Ran whipped the whites again. The meringue was barely completed by the time the arm fell off.
Ran sighed, carefully whipped flour, meringue, and other ingredients, then mixed them into a mold.
'And lastly!'
She glared at the oven.
It was still more likely than a wooden oven because the temperature was controlled by ice modification.
'Whether it's porridge or rice!'
Ran put the dough in the oven.
And then I started whipping the cream.
'I'm dying.'
My arm already hurts just by meringue the white, but when I tried to put up whipped cream, my arm muscles complained, "I don't think it'll go any further."
'But I have to.'
It was fortunate that the plate could be cooled down.
The kitchen with the cool air was worth living, and Ran constantly whipped cream to make it swell up.
"But it's still cloudy ·········."
It doesn't go flat and hard.
Ran sighed. The kitchen began to smell sweet.
"Euaaaa- Put a timer on the oven. How do you use the oven without a timer?"
Ran paced around in front of the oven. Look at the clock, look at the cookbook again.
"Is it done? Really?"
Ran picked up a skewer and opened the oven to poke the cake.
Nothing came out of the skewer, so she cheered and took the mold out of the oven.
"Master, his highness is coming."
Someone whispered, so Ran jumped.
"Already."
"It's been a while."
The Nokyeong disappeared after only making a voice like that.
"Euaa-"
Ran quickly separated the cake from the mold and put it in the refrigerator. She quickly took off her apron, washed her hands, and quickly climbed upstairs.
"Eus!"
When he saw the roaring Ran, Eustaf smiled and held out his bag, saying, "You don't have to run that far."
"It's a rabbit."
"Is it alive?"
"Yes, but it have it's legs tied up."
"Right?"
Ran opened the entrance to the bag with a slight expectation, thinking of the white, fluffy rabbit, and closed it tightly.
"What, What's this?"
"It's a rabbit."
"This big?"
"Yes."
Eustaf's face was once again questioned. Ran opened the bag and looked again.
The brown rabbit was simply slick. What should I say about the size and appearance...
'Candle ·····?'
The rabbit jumped inside the bag, and Ran was surprised and dropped the bag. Then Ran jumped and screamed and hid behind Eustaf.
"Hold on to that."
Eustaf picked up the sack.
"You said It's cute."
"No, that's not the rabbit I thought of."
When he saw Ran speaking in a trembling voice with her forehead stuck in his back, Eustaf said, "As expected, it wasn't cute."
Ran sighed.
"Just let it go."
"I had a hard time catching it."
"Then are we going to eat It?"
"I guess so. I've never tried rabbit meat."
"Yes...."
"Let's ask them to cook and put it up."
Then Ran was surprised when he moved.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to take it to the kitchen."
"Me, I'll take it! Kitchen!"
"Ran will?"
"Yes."
"I can do it," Ran held it as if she had taken the sack from her hand and kept it away from her body. Then I ran to the kitchen in a hurry.
'Why ...?'
Again, there was a curiosity, so Eustaf looked at Ran's back.
'Is there something in the kitchen that you're hiding?'
But there seems to be nothing to hide. Eustaf could not even imagine Ran cooking. There was not a single woman cooking around him, and he had never heard of a lady cooking.
Ran, who was running, turned around and said,
"Eus, go wash up for now!"
"All right."
Eustaf nodded. It was a long hunt, so I enjoyed it a lot, but I sweated a lot thanks to the horse's running in the summer.
Eustaf lightly washed himself out of the bathroom with cold water.
'What do you mean rabbit is cute?'
On second thought, he smiled and kept smirking as he washed up.
To stay for a while, Ran came up with a lot of cold tea came up.
Following Eustaf's share and her share tea, Ran sat down next to his leg and leaned over.
"Good job."
"No, it was kind of interesting. I capture it without killing it."
"How did you catch it?"
At Ran's question, Eustaf explained lightly about addition and molestation, and Ran nodded in admiration.
"I didn't know a rabbit was that good. I- only thought of white, fluffy rabbits."
"In winter, the fur sometimes turns white."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"It's amazing."
However, even if only the fur turns white in that image, the slyness will remain the same.
Eustaf carefully stroked Ran's hair. Ran sighed softly and weighed her legs.
"It's nice to be here with Eus."
"I don't know how long it's been since I've been so relaxed."
"Surely."
The two then shut up. Intimacy floated like fog in the silence.
A relaxed stroke of her hair. An expectant warmth. The weight of each other, the sound of breathing.
Satisfied, the two of them stayed still for a long time.
Outside the window, the sound of wind blowing and sweeping branches shooting cheerfully, and birds coming down to the cold water lightly shouted, picking feathers.
Eustaf and Ran sat there, convinced that they were happy to be together at least, although they did not know clearly what they were thinking.
That night, Ran crept up from bed to finish the work. I glanced around and Eustaf was sleeping.
'Nice.'
As soon as Ran left the room, Eustaf opened his eyes.
'Really.'
He crept up from his seat wondering.
I know Ran's hiding something from himself, but I don't know what it is.
Eustaf put on a robe and began to carefully follow Ran's footsteps. Without noticing that he was following at all, Ran often took a light and ran barefoot down the hall, even with his feet, to see if he didn't make any noise.
'Where are we going?'
