When we arrived, Mother was happy to meet her daughter-in-law. Emma was still young, and Dad was at work. Mother was with Eleanor. Since Eleanor was not the head of the family, she had a lot of time on her hands.

"Mother, this is Anna, my bodyguard."

"Oh, I am sorry, Miss Anna. Please forgive me."

"Please, madam, you don't have to call me 'miss,' and it's okay."

"Son, let me formally introduce you to Eleanor Cross, the first daughter of our feudal lord."

Eleanor knelt and bowed her head. "You don't have to be formal with me," I said, smiling kindly at her.

"Eleanor, this is my son Elfan, the one I told you so much about."

Don't tell me Mother still hasn't given up on playing matchmaker.

"Her Highness told me to remind you to call her when you arrive," Anna said.

I pretended not to hear and started playing with Emma. Dad arrived before dinner, and it seemed Eleanor was going to sleep over. Maybe she replaced me, or the feudal lord was trying to make connections with the royal family? I don't know. But if she slept over here, what about her two husbands? It’s none of my business. We sat down to have dinner.

"Your Majesty," said Eleanor.

"Please, just Elfan," I interrupted her.

"How can I call the king by his name?"

"Yes, but that king gives you permission to call him by his name," I argued.

"Okay, Elfan, please tell Her Highness I am her fan and may the goddess bless her."

"Her fan?" I asked.

"Yes, since she became queen, the laws she implemented were fair to us, even to the dark elves. The bandit group that used to bother us for ages has even disappeared."

"Bandit group?"

This is the first time I’m hearing this.

"Yes, there used to be a group of bandits in the southern forest made up of forest and dark elves. We had to make deals with them since the palace never cared to help us."

"What kind of deals?" Anna asked.

"We used to give them 10 gold coins monthly."

So the feudal lord's mansion was paying a protection fee? We should call them the mafia, not bandits.

"What happened to the bandits?" Anna asked.

"They just disappeared a month ago. My sister investigated and found out they all joined the military," Eleanor answered.

So, basically, they became bandits to survive? In a world where you can’t work based on skin color, I don’t blame them.

"I will tell her," I answered with a smile.

"Son, you should also thank your wife for me. Our streets are clean, and when Emma grows up, she will be able to go to school," said Elisa.

Okay, but why is Anna looking proud now? Or is she Leona?

Turning towards Dad, "What about you?"

"Let me see. We are no longer short on staff, and thank her for the hygiene practices she introduced. Fewer people are getting sick now, even though it’s just been a few months."

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Turning towards Emma, "What about you, sister?"

Emma responded, "Namamaha" (baby gibberish).

"Okay, then, I will pass your messages."

"Son, when is the grandchild coming?" Elisa asked.

What grandchild, Mother? You and Mother number 2 should relax.

"I will get some fresh air," I said, standing up and leaving the room.

I sat outside to enjoy the peaceful quietness. Let me enjoy this vacation. Dad started walking towards me and stood next to me. He asked some basic questions like how I was doing and how the capital was treating me.

"Anyway, Dad, Mother number 2 said I should greet you."

"Mother number 2?"

"Lirael."

"You met her?"

"Yes."

And why is this guy smiling like an idiot?

"Son, back in my day, all the ladies wanted me. Even Lirael wanted to be with me, so I ran away. When I arrived in Eldorado, your mother was also crazy about me. I tried running, but she caught me."

"Lirael wanted you? So you were going to be her second husband or first?"

"First, of course."

"I see."

Wow, Dad was a lady killer.

"However, son, you must not let your mothers know about this story, okay? This is our secret."

Secret? Yeah, right.

"Sure, Dad."

We stayed for five days and left for the capital. I arrived a month later since we were not in a hurry. When the carriage stopped and I stepped out, Leona ran towards me and tackled me in a hug, and we both fell on the ground, her on top. Man, this silly girl is rough, but I missed her. We both stood up, and I didn’t blame her since I left three months ago. We went into her office, and I was welcomed by Ademina, who had a lot of money with her. I think we should start a banking system in this world. The money was the profits after paying soldiers and all maintenance costs like people working in the wetland, cleaners, and such. The best way to use it is by reinvesting it back into the country. I instructed Ademina to start building roads leaving the capital heading south since that road transports a lot of goods. The money that is left will be used to hire miners to mine mithril.

We left the palace and went to the workshop. Elowen rushed towards us. After greeting each other, I checked the bicycle and started riding it. Interestingly, it really looked and had balance like the ones from Earth, even though it was made out of wood.

"Well done, Elowen. You did it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's all thanks to you."

"So did you create 50 more like I instructed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Good."

I started teaching Leona, Eli, and Anna how to ride a bicycle. Elowen learned by herself, so I was really impressed.

Turning towards Leona, "We will teach 30 people how to ride them, and then all our restaurants will do deliveries."

"Honey, what are deliveries?"

"In the mornings, they collect orders around town, and during lunch, they deliver them. Once we mass produce communication crystals in the future, they can be contacted anytime."

"Your Majesty, you always have good ideas. I didn’t think you could come up with this brilliant idea so quickly," Anna said.

"It’s nothing."

Well, if you were from Earth, you would know this is actually normal, not some brilliant idea.

"The 20 bicycles that are left will be used to open a letter delivery service. We will use one of the buildings as the base, and people can submit their letters. The riders will deliver them all over the capital."

"How long will it take to train these people, Your Majesty?" Eli asked.

"One month is enough. Then they will start the following month."

Turning towards Elowen, "Do you know how this communication crystal is created?"

"Yes, actually. It's not more complicated than the bicycle," Elowen answered.

I mean, she has been using it all her life.

"Can you mass produce them? At least create 100. Make them small and square and use wood to protect them if they fall. Can you do that?"

"I will do my best, Your Majesty."

We left and headed back to the palace. Having just arrived today, I needed rest.

"Honey, I almost went crazy."

"What happened?"

"Because I was lonely."

"You could at least have invited your sister."

"Actually, she was staying at the palace, and she left three days ago."

"Why?"

"Mother needed something."

What is "something"?

"Anyway, how was your mother's birthday?"

"It was good. She said I should tell you she’s still waiting for her gift."

"Speaking of gifts, here’s one for you."

I gave her a bear bow, the one I got after clearing the dungeon. I am always busy, so I completely forgot.

"Thank you, honey. It is beautiful."

We stopped, and she kissed me.

"So, what did you do?"

"Huh? I did nothing. Why?"

"I read that when a man gives you a gift out of nowhere and for nothing, then he did something."

"Who wrote such nonsense? Ask Anna."

Hey, help me here.

"I know nothing. Please don’t involve me in your business, Your Majesty."

This little..

We arrived back at the palace, and I wanted to relax. So, we decided to sleep early and went to the bedroom together.

When we arrived in the bedroom that night, she bit down on me so hard and started riding me like a madwoman. Imagine being rough after being bitten so intensely. This madwoman became a real cowgirl all night. When I tried to sleep early in the morning, she continued to touch me, trying to get me excited again. I got annoyed, woke up, and let her be on her hands and knees, standing behind her to do the work in a rough way while spanking her naughty behind, punishing her for waking me up. Before I knew it, the sun was up, and we hadn't slept at all that night. Damn, I am not going to wake up today.
