Chapter 246: Sunflowers
What happens when a body is left overnight with plenty of sweat, saliva, and semen on it?
Earlier this morning, Cynthia apparently got permission from me to take a morning bath. I was so sleep-deprived that I hardly remember what she asked me and what I answered.
So when I woke up, Cynthia was not completely naked, but in her nun's habit, waiting with a clear face.
She was so nonchalant that I was in no mood to give her another shot in the morning, and I had to go to the morning bath as well.
After getting ready and finishing breakfast, I returned to my room. I heard that my grandfather had left New Nellie early in the morning and flown back to the front line. I had planned to have breakfast with him, so my guess was off. Was probably worried about the war situation, but he was in a hurry.
Back in the room, what began was not a flirting …… But a lecture as we reflected on last night's play.
I guess Cynthia thought that since the ritual lecture had ended halfway through, she needed time to reflect. She is a girl with a subtle sense of misalignment.
She said, “Due to the circumstances of ……, We used simple tools and procedures yesterday. We hope to be able to provide a full-fledged opportunity for the students in the future.
Cynthia was very enthusiastic, saying that she was looking forward to the next hands-on learning experience.There was probably nothing to her words her.I don't think it was a roundabout way of saying she wanted to be held by me again.
A real ritual?
Yes. For example, it is said that the holy oil should be made in the fall.
The massage oil used in yesterday's ritual was made from sunflower oil, squeezed from seeds harvested last year.
Sunflowers grown in unshaded areas produce high quality seeds that are rich in the blessings of the sun.
Sunflowers also exist on the continent of Eluo, but it is interesting to note that they are also positioned as a plant associated with the sun. Perhaps this is a natural consequence of the sunflower's sun-like qualities and appearance.
The sunflower is a very important plant in the Zesitic religion. The way it grows in the full light of the sun, it is interpreted as taking in the blessings of the great spirit of the sun.
This is also the purpose of yesterday's ceremony.
For this reason, Cynthia's request to use the freshest oil from the year's harvest was understandable.
And I am very sorry, but I would also like to have some gold leaf.
Perhaps because we are talking about faith, she insists on exactly what she has to insist on.
The authentic massage oil used for high priests, in short, holy oil, is a blend of sunflower oil, clean water, fragrances and plant extracts, and a very small amount of gold leaf or gold dust, she said. Gold is also considered to be a mineral that possesses the power of the Great Spirit of the Sun.
Gold leaf aside, sunflowers? I wonder if they grow them in the territory.
The sunflower oil we prepared this time was made by buying the seeds and pressing them.
I heard that the Lidea Plain, with its flat land and abundant water, used to be a major sunflower-growing area.
When the interior of Kuordenze Territory is roughly divided into north and south, the southern part of the territory can be said to belong to the Lidea Plain. Naturally, this includes the city of New Nelly.
Maybe it used to be that way, but I don't know. Well, I don't think it's ever been zero……. Hey, you know what?”
I check with the civilian officials who are waiting in the room. But the answer I got back was that he was not sure. He said that they are concerned about the acreage of important crops such as wheat, but sunflowers are not included.
I remember seeing some fields last year.”
Cynthia followed up on the officer's answer. It was interesting that she, a stranger to the city, knew more about the area than he did.
It wasn't a very big one.
She looked a little downcast as she said this.
We don't have much demand for it here,” She said. We don't use sunflowers for vegetable oil,…… And in the Holy City, do you have many uses for it besides rituals?”
'Of course. It is often used for liturgy, but sunflowers are also the most familiar crop to the people because they are used for a variety of purposes. For example, in the churches of the Holy City, sunflower bread is baked. And millet are ground on a millstone and mixed with flour to make the bread.
The Holy City has a designated day once a week to eat sunflower bread.
When I learned about the Zesu Church, I tend to see it only as a governing body, but I realized that it is also a religious organization in a sense.
The dregs left over after oil extraction, as well as leaves and stems, can be used as compost or animal feed.
It seems that there are many ways to use sunflowers. In the Holy City, sunflowers have established a strong position as a raw material for vegetable oil and as one of the main foods.
When I think of summer in the Vermana region, fields of sunflowers and blue skies are the first things that come to mind.
Cynthia's eyes narrowed as if she was reminiscing about her hometown.
I try to imagine the scene of Cynthia wearing a white dress and standing in a field of sunflowers. In my opinion, a girl standing in a field of sunflowers should have poor or normal breasts. Lorna, with her dark hair and slender figure, would look great. She looks like Miss Sunflower Field.
I wonder who would fit best in the Quardenze territory.
I'm sure it's a beautiful view,” Said Lorna. I'm a little intrigued.
A sweaty embrace with a girl in a white dress in the center of a field of sunflowers under a blue midsummer sky. Just the thought of such a fantasy is enough to get me sober and excited. As was the case with last night's play, I still want to put a lot of effort into the situation. I think it makes a difference in my erection and ejaculation.
I'm sure you're interested in ……? If so, I'd be happy to help you.
Cynthia leaned forward.
What do you mean, leave it to me?
I'm going to take care of the fields.
Cynthia is working hard on her own her.She must have interpreted my positive attitude toward sunflower cultivation.
I asked her about it in detail, and she said, in a word, she is not busy. Even though she has been appointed as a leader this time, she basically doesn't wait around for me, but only comes out when she is I can see why she might have free time.
Ordinary aristocrats don't care about such things. They are much more tolerant than I am about having people who are not busy. As long as they do what they have to do, that's all that matters, I guess.
I, on the other hand, am a poor man. Like Eve, I feel it's a waste to have someone who is completely at my disposal for no reason. It is even more so for someone like Cynthia, who tells me she is free. If that is the case, I would like to give them something to do, even if it costs me a little money. It may seem like a bit of a cop-out, but it's just the way I am.
Besides, I want to get to know Cynthia better.If that's the case, I'd be happy to do her a favor her.
If you lend me a hand, I'll give you some guidance.
Cynthia replied confidently.She says she has knowledge and wisdom based on her experience, from sunflower cultivation and utilization to rural management and how to manage farmers.
But I am not familiar with the local customs.
So he has sought out his own watchdog? In a sense, he was asking to rent out land and people, and he didn't want people to think he was up to no good.
Don't worry,” He said. In that case, I'll put a few people with insight on your behalf. It is a fool's errand to entrust a foreign land to a foreigner.
Did you hear that, all of you who are waiting indoors? I'm not going to be caged by a pair of tits and give you the land.
Cynthia is an ex-priestess, so if you don't appeal to her according to her in this area, you're asking for trouble.I have to be careful.
However, it is not so easy to give permission, is it?
To put it bluntly, securing the land is a hassle.
The Quardenze family is engaged in foreign wars, but the territory is basically peaceful. For this reason, the people of the fiefdom often continue to live on the same land for several generations. Tendency is particularly strong in farming villages that have been carved out of virgin land.
According to the theory of the Eruo continent, all land belongs to the ancestors. Therefore, as long as I had my father's permission, I would say, “From today, this land will be owned and operated by Kuordentse, and you must leave by tomorrow. If I said, “You have until tomorrow to leave,” The residents would have no choice but to leave. The ancestral land they say is just hubris and fiction from the aristocrats' point of view. If you want to claim the right of residence, you have to show the power to match it.
On the continent of Eluo, where the threat of magical beasts exists, the responsibility for the land is great. In the territory of Quordenze, a policy of “Protection of ownership” Was established in the time of Grandmother Cassia to prevent unjust deprivation of property from the territory's citizens and peddlers, but this policy does not guarantee any rights to land. The reason is that it is too unjust for commoners, who have no power, to make such a claim.
However, even if this is true in theory, the reality is that people are attached to the land where they were born and raised. To trample on the feelings of the people of a fief in order to accommodate the pleas of a beloved concubine is like Moreover, he is likely to be the target of outrageous speculation by the exiled and resentful former residents, who will be forced to grow sunflowers on the land he has taken from them, which is closely associated with the Zesu cult. The next head of the Kuordenze family is devoted to the Zethusian High Society ……. This is dangerous. My father would surely give me a hard time about it.
Even though his position as the next head of the Kuordenze family has been consolidated, he can't do anything too careless.
I don't know about you, but don't sunflowers need a lot of water?
Since his pocket money is growing these days, one idea is to borrow land in a neighboring farm village, but that might be troublesome.
Yes,” He said. They grow well in the summer, so they need to be well watered.”
That is the procurement of water. The local farmers would probably be displeased if the sunflower fields consumed a large amount of water.
Moreover, the farming villages near the city of New Neri have been under the rule of the Kuordentse family for many years, so they have a close relationship with them, and many of their residents are exemplary. Crack that trust.
“If we're going to…… Make it anyway, we want a field of a reasonable size. We have a lot of challenges.”
If water is to be drawn to the inconvenient land away from the river, the construction work will have to be massive. If we went that far, it would be a grand project to build not only sunflower fields but also a number of pioneer villages. Considering that the food situation in the Kuordenze territory is currently stable, it is hard to imagine that the return on investment would be worth it.
I know it is a difficult problem, but I think it would be wonderful if we could make it happen. Please let us know if you decide to go ahead with the project.
Cynthia was smiling. I think she is happy that I am willing to work on the farm. She may have taken it as a sign that I was doing Zesu-kyo a favor. At this rate, I would be able to enjoy the next sexual intercourse.
Cynthia left before noon.
She was polite to me from start to finish, so I could n't bring myself to rub her tits her.I had released a lot of cum last night, so I wasn't in the mood for it.
After all, I should have at least given her a rub, I regretted it after I had finished lunch and my stomach was full.
“Is everything in the vicinity wiped out?……”
The civil servant hurriedly checked out that sunflower farmers are in decline even outside of New Nellie City. Basically, it seems that farmers are just growing them as if they were vegetable gardens. There is no place in the territory where sunflowers are cultivated seriously for business or tax purposes.
I wonder how a once large production area has declined to such a low level.
There are several small cities in the territory of Kuordenze that have sunflower flowers or seeds as their city emblem. These places are often based on pioneer villages that were planned as centers for sunflower production.
It is more correct to say that they have not declined, but have been replaced by better crops.”
The civil servant who did the research corrected him.
Sunflowers used to be donated to the church and used for vegetable oil. But after the war, the church was rendered useless and the crop was simply chosen based on the amount of oil it could squeeze.
It is quite interesting to know that agricultural efficiency increased in turbulent times.
…… Should we eliminate the nearby areas as candidates after all?
I think that would be a good idea.
The New Nellie City suburbs are very well managed, and it was clear to me that any intervention by me would cause trouble not only for the farmers but also for the government officials. Not suitable for large-scale development.
I have a question: “…… But do we need sunflower fields, for example? Wouldn't it be better to do something else if we could give Lady Cynthia a job?”
It is a perfectly honest opinion. Whether it's to increase Cynthia's popularity or to plan a white one-piece blue rape, it's a complete waste of money to build a field just for me to shake my hips.
I guess that's true if all you want to do is give me a job. But I had a few thoughts. I'm starting to think that building a field of sunflowers as an up-front investment isn't such a bad idea.
An up-front investment?
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the company is a big player in the market. I heard about it in King's Landing,……, Well, I'm going to ask the opinion of the real job I don't know if my estimate is correct.
At that moment, as if timed perfectly, there was a knock at the door.
Come in.”
A man enters the room with a slightly nervous look on his face.
I had seen his face his many times in Nambonan, but this was the first time I had seen him in his room his at New Nellie Castle.
It's been a while.
It was convenient that this guy was still staying in New Nellie City.
He said, “Yeah, how's Kohliy doing? How is Kohary?
Kohary's brother, Roomon of Nambonan City, nodded quietly.
