Fiona continued to be stubborn, because she knew that as long as she didn't admit it, there was no evidence.
Once you admit it, your master will think you are someone who likes eroticism.
Therefore, this kind of thing should absolutely not be admitted.
"Is it a delusion? I feel like it's really happening."
His maid's words made him slightly suspicious, but the strong scent of lilies and the pressure on his face didn't lie.
Given the maid's current shy and embarrassed appearance, Ron was certain that the maid must have done something to him.
It's okay if she doesn't admit it. As you get to know her better, she won't be able to control herself and will do things in front of you.
At that time, Fiona would probably glare at him with disgust and disdain, but her body would honestly help him...
"That didn't actually happen; it was all just the master's delusion after he woke up."
Fiona seized the opportunity, lifting her shapely buttocks, encased in black pantyhose, away from the man.
Because she couldn't handle the intensity, she was afraid that if it continued like this, she would become strange.
"Don't wake your owner up like that again next time~"
As she reached the tent entrance, Fiona turned her head and gave the man a disdainful look.
"Master, get up quickly. After breakfast, we'll start working on the expansion."
That damn owner! With so much development work to do, he still has the mind to do this...
After the maid left, Ron got out of bed and began to wash up. After washing up, he changed into a well-fitting black suit and went out.
The weather outside was sunny and breezy, perfect for getting things done.
However, they really had all the advantages during this period, as it didn't rain at all.
Hopefully, this good weather will last a little longer so that the territory can be fully developed before the weather changes.
Otherwise, building a territory would become much more difficult, and everything would become damp.
“Young Master Ron, apart from hunting some man-eating pythons last night, everything was normal.”
Yarman remained as dutiful as ever, arranging for knights to patrol the territory in shifts every night, and he himself didn't go to sleep until late at night.
He got up again as soon as it was light and stood guard by Ron's tent.
"Alright, Yarman, you and the knights below, may you begin your meal."
Ron patted the knight commander on the shoulder with satisfaction; he was quite confident in Yarman's abilities.
Once an order is given, the mission will be accomplished even if the sky falls.

"Master, please have a meal."
As soon as Ron entered the tent, Fiona pulled out the chair for the main seat and waited respectfully for her master to sit down.
Although something had just happened that she found unbearable, and even went back to her tent to change into a soft inner shirt.
But he remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about everything that had just happened.
"Yes, you can sit down and eat too."
After Ron sat down, he gave an instruction to Fiona and Lilith, and then looked at the demi-human girls in front of him.
"You can start your breakfast now."
"Yay! Lucia can eat roast lamb leg again!"
As usual, the greedy water dragon girl, upon hearing the man's words, grabbed a large lamb leg and began to gnaw on it.
O'Vell and Philia, perhaps influenced by Ron, changed their dining style.
They turned their index fingers into sharp claws, sliced the lamb legs into strips, sprinkled them with their secret seasoning, and then skewered them and put them into their mouths.
They are as skilled as humans at using knives and forks.
Philia felt that eating like this was much more elegant, and eating it one strip at a time was more palatable.
After spending the past two days together, Xue Mier and her daughter have gradually become familiar with everyone.
At least I don't feel like a stranger. My body hair is clean, my wounds have fully healed, and I feel much better.
Perhaps out of shyness, Muses used to only eat one leg of lamb per meal, but after getting to know him better, he stopped hiding it and started eating two legs of lamb and a roast chicken in one meal.
However, her appetite wasn't as good as Lucia's; after eating so much, her little belly became round and bulging.
This sense of satisfaction made Muses feel that he was not much different from the tribe, and the lord was not bad, at least he did not make any strange demands.
Actually, the night before last, Shemier had told her that if the lord brought up the matter of training, she should tell her mother, and she could take her place.
But how could Muses let her mother do this for her? She felt she was grown up and should share the burden with her mother, not put all the pressure on her...
“Master, I just checked and the wood in the territory is almost gone. It will probably only last for two days for daily firewood.”
Fiona put down her knife and looked at Ron with a touch of melancholy.
“In the morning, I saw many people using weeds to start fires; they probably won’t have any wood to start fires today.”
This is her biggest concern right now, and if it's not resolved quickly, it could lead to serious problems.
During the day, wood is needed for cooking, and when the weather gets colder, charcoal and wood are also essential for the room's heater.
Winters in the far north are exceptionally cold, and the territory of seven or eight hundred people faces a severe shortage of timber.
"I already have a plan for the timber."
Last night, Ron listed out all the issues that needed to be resolved within the territory.
"What are your plans to do?"
Fiona was very curious about how her master planned to solve this big problem.
"We can't go to the Misty Forest for now. There are too many alien races there, and the lumberjacks will probably be attacked frequently."
Ron cut his beef with a knife and spoke calmly.
"So I decided to have the knights lead the people to cut down some bushes in the surrounding area to use for now, and then cut them down after we have cleared out the alien races around the Misty Forest."
A logging team of several dozen people can cut enough timber to last through the winter in about a month.
Therefore, as long as the alien races in the Misty Forest are cleared out within a month and a half, there will be no need to worry about the timber.
The surrounding small hills and shrublands, if cleared, can sustain us for about a month.
"That is indeed a solution."
Fiona nodded, but still felt that the swamp lacked too many things, not only wood, but also water.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
What she didn't know was that with O'Ville around, as long as the issue of the alien invasion was resolved, the forty-kilometer journey wasn't far, and the carriages could transport timber back and forth every day, making the collection quick.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ron wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at the dragon girls in front of him.
"Oville, Lucia, after you've eaten, start exploring the area we planned yesterday."
The expansion of the territory was also imminent. Only after the land was filled in could the main castle, the knight camp, and the farmers' residences be gradually built.
"Yes, my lord~"
O'Vell nodded seriously, having no objection to the matter.
She inexplicably liked this feeling; watching the swamp, full of weeds and mud, turn into land under her control gave her a great sense of accomplishment.
The lord massaged my tail yesterday, so I need to work even harder today!
Thinking about this, O'Ville's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she was anticipating whether her tail would get a massage after her busy day was over...
I'm really strange. This kind of thing should make the dragon gradually fall into depravity.
But I just can't help wanting to continue...
"My lord, if Lucia is busy all day, she'll break down~~"
Lucia swallowed a large mouthful of lamb leg, looked at the man in front of her with a pitiful expression, and began to whine and act coquettishly.
If you ask her to eat for a day, she'll be willing; but if you ask her to do chores for a day, she really won't want to move an inch.
"After working for half an hour, you get a roast chicken to eat."
Ron had long since figured out Lucia's temperament and had prepared about twenty roasted chickens in advance, so that Fiona would send her one every half hour.
He would take some knights with him and the lumberjacks to find suitable logging sites, and while they were at it, they would also take a look at the Kechis Mountains to determine the route for water source development.
Once the wheat fields are cleared, let O'Vell start building an irrigation canal from the territory.
This will allow us to successfully resolve the water source issue.
"But, but I'm so tired~"
Lucia's mouth was watering at the mention of roast chicken, but she still felt exhausted after a long day.
"Then you won't be able to eat this fragrant roast chicken, lamb leg, turtle soup, and eel."
Ron continued to threaten him with food.
