The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 378 The Beginning of Farming Life

"Ah~" Roland stretched and looked at Grand Duke Nyx, who was still showing off his beautiful figure on the bed.

"Hmm?" Nyx opened her sleepy eyes and looked at her husband with some confusion. Was he in such a hurry? Why wouldn't he leave her alone in broad daylight?

"Your conscience is showing! Cover yourself up properly!" Roland shook his head helplessly, sighing that the child was a restless sleeper.

"Ugh... Just say it! Why are you moving!" Nyx glared at Roland and buried herself in the covers.

"Get up and eat quickly! I'm going out first. Get up and eat something when you get up! Don't go hungry!" Roland patted the silly girl's head with concern, but in his mind he began to plan for the day.

“Oh…” Nyx nodded obediently, her eyes full of curiosity, clearly a restless girl.

"Stay home and be a good girl, don't run around!" Roland patted her head and instructed. And let me tell you! Golden Retrievers are really nice to pet!

“…” Nyx pouted and looked at Roland with a wronged expression.

……

"Your Highness!" Caslo bowed with his hand on his chest.

"What is it?" Roland asked, looking up in confusion.

“Here’s the thing, now that everything’s alright, how about Ajax and I take those kids to Lulong Fortress for training? We can also bring Reno and the others back while we’re at it, right?” Caslo scratched his head and said.

Roland stared intently at Caslo for a long time, until Caslo became uneasy under his gaze, before he patted Caslo on the broad shoulder.

"I bet your training of griffin riders and your care for your colleagues is all an act! You really just want to be with Ajax!" Roland rolled his eyes at Caslo.

He had no idea when these two dragon knights had gotten together! He didn't know how far they'd progressed, but seeing how inseparable they were, Roland had no intention of interfering. After all, he had no desire for Ajax, and he was genuinely happy that Caslo had found a partner. The only thing that could defeat a dragon knight was a dragon knight, and... a sense of attachment! Having a family would also deepen their sense of belonging to the kingdom, and Roland had no reason to stop something that was beneficial and harmless!

"Do as you please! But be careful! I've already started preparing for my wedding with Nyx! I can only get on with you two after the wedding! You'll have to wait..." Roland said.

“It’s alright!” Caslo was overjoyed. The king’s blessing was an important guarantee for their love. He could also understand Roland’s request. After all, Nyx and the king had been together for so long, and Roland should give Nyx a title.

"Alright! I just hope you don't turn into a coward at my wedding!" Roland shook his head. He had been there himself and knew the "madness" that a newlywed couple would go through once they got hooked. Moreover, since they were far away from him, only they knew how crazy they could get.

"No problem! I'll be careful, Your Highness! I'll be going now!" Caslo rubbed his hands together, looking a little anxious.

"Go ahead! Be good to her! Don't mistreat her..." Roland waved his hand helplessly. This kid is stubborn now, but he'll be clutching his back after they've lived together for a while.

……

"Your Highness..." Yun Feng greeted Roland with a bow and then sat down to begin reviewing various documents.

"Good heavens! Isn't that girl Nyx helping you?" Roland's lips twitched as he looked at the mountain of documents and other items piled up on Yun Feng's desk. "His Highness is very concerned about this. According to the rules, she cannot interfere in the affairs of the kingdom before her marriage to you... She understands the rules of the nobility better than I thought!" Yun Feng shook his head and said.

“You know I don’t care about this!” Roland shrugged.

“But she wants to establish herself as a queen who conforms to the rules of nobility…” Yun Feng glanced at Roland. Nyx cared more about this than Roland did. She didn’t want to leave a stain on her relationship with Roland! After all, she wasn’t a real queen yet. Maybe no one else cared, but Nyx couldn’t convince herself.

“Alright, that’s exactly what I’m here to discuss! We’ve defeated all our opponents! We need to recuperate! The previous wars have bought us a considerable period of development! So we should start restoring production and so on, and also give Nyx a grand wedding! And all of this needs to be arranged by you…” Roland raised his hand and instructed.

"Dragon God... are you trying to kill me with your labor? I'm a wise man! Even if we alchemists are weak in combat, you can't treat me like a prime minister every day!" Yun Feng clutched his head in pain, pointing at the "heartless" king who was exploiting him.

“Oh! My dear Your Majesty Yunfeng! Calm down! Pointing at the King like that is impolite! You should thank the King for placing such high hopes on you and entrusting you with such an important task!” Roland waved his hand gently.

"...Let's duel, Your Highness!" Yun Feng drew a staff.

"I urge you to calm down!" Roland drew his Dragon Slayer Sword to protect himself while trying to call for help. Seeing Yun Feng's bloodshot eyes, Roland knew he had exploited her too much. He now understood why everyone hated capitalists…

"Even if you're going to fleece someone, you can't keep fleecing the same sheep!" Yun Feng said through gritted teeth. Based on that workload, Yun Feng felt that he could start choosing his own burial plot in advance.

"Huh? You're both here? Your Highness! Your Majesty Yunfeng! You... Holy crap!" Lance pushed open the door and entered, smiling as he looked at the two, but was startled by their tense and confrontational demeanor.

"How about... you try to persuade Yunfeng..." Roland said somewhat awkwardly.

"I'm suffering..." Yunfeng grabbed Lance and began to pour out her grievances.

……

"Your Highness! This is wrong of you! This is too much..." Lance looked at Roland speechlessly. It's true that His Majesty Yunfeng is so useful that he seizes the opportunity to use him to the fullest.

“Alright, it was indeed my fault… Here’s what I’ll do, Baron Lance! I will bestow upon you a sacred and great honor in the name of the King… Hey! Don’t run away!” Roland hurriedly chased after him.

"I wholeheartedly agree with your work arrangements for His Majesty Yunfeng! I'm going to take up my post at Lulong Fortress! I'll have someone bring you the transfer report later!" Lance's men left, but his voice lingered.

"Crunch!" Roland turned his head and saw Yun Feng crushing a corner of the table. He couldn't help but swallow.

"Or maybe I... cough cough!" Roland looked at Yunfeng guiltily.

"Come here! Your Highness, find them for me! Marcus is in Delwin! Apophis Breo may be a nobleman, but he's clearly destined to be a sword-wielding noble! Adile, Lavian, Omske, Luke Leopold, Merk Leopold! See who's available!" Yun Feng was exhausted; all he wanted to say was destruction...

"How about Mr. Radil..." Roland said weakly.

“…Just kill me!” Yun Feng sat down on the ground.
