I Just want a Peaceful life

Sensing a deadly intent from the old head butler Darius, the two Marquis finally stop like a child being reprimanded by their parents.

"D-Darius…" greeted Marquis Arden.

"H-Haha… Yes. It's been a while, Darius." said Marquis Sterling awkwardly.

"If the two excellencies are done behaving like children, I will escort you outside less if it disturbs the princess's meal," said Darius seriously.

Although Darius is only a head butler, no one dares underestimate him. This old butler has already become the head butler of the Royal Palace since the previous king. He is also famous for training various kinds of perfect maids and butlers for nobles.

Because of this influence and reputation, no one dares to offend this mysterious old head butler.

"Err.. About that?" said Marquis Sterling.

"Sorry, Darius. I have some important matters with Baron Victory. But, you should escort this imbecile so his presence doesn't pollute the air." said Marquis Arden.

'Hmm... What did they want to do with me?' thought Angus inwardly.

"Hmph… The thief called another thief. Are you sure it is not you who is polluting the air? Your smelly breath could destroy the princess's appetite." retorted Marquis Sterling.

"What did you say?!!" retorted Marquis Arden in anger.

"Here we go again." muttered Angus while enjoying the unique interaction between the two Marquis.

It is unusual for the high noble to behave like them. Moreover, Angus could feel that the two interactions had no malicious intent. They may curse each other, but none harbor any bad intent for others. It is quite a weird and unique relationship.

"Ehem… The two lords, why don't we have a meal together?" asked Angus to de-escalate the situation.

He could feel the old butler Darius was ready to knock out the two Marquis as they continued their childish squabble.

"Ahh… Yes. That's right." said Marquis Arden.

"Then, pardon my sudden intrusion." said Maquis Sterling.

After everyone sits, the two Marquis can't help but look at the little gluttony Anna, who keeps globbing down the food non-stop. The nearby butler and maids also sent dishes non-stop under the lead of Brigida and Lilith. Such a scene definitely leaves a lot of impression.

'Big customer!!' thought the two Marquis while considering another business opportunity.

Others think Anna's eating habits are bad and look savage. For a food producer, they only see her as a big customer, especially when she sees all the high-quality meat dishes.

Noticing the two Marquis's unusual eyes, "So, is there anything I could help with?" asked Angus, diverting the two Marquis's attention.

"Y-Yes. I hear Baron Victory has successfully created a solution to rejuvenate the farming land." said Marquis Arden from the side.

"I hope Baron Victory can share the recipe with us. Of course, it is not for free. The Sterling noble family could greatly compensate you for the recipe." Marquis Sterling added.

"Hmph… What a huge compensation?! It is nothing but empty talk. The Arden noble family will pay 100 thousand gold coins for the recipe." retorted Marquis Arden.

"100 thousand?! Who are you trying to cheat? Such an important recipe is a miracle solution. I will offer 200 thousand." replied Marquis Sterling.

As the two Marquis start bickering and increasing their price again, Angus takes his time to sort the information and [Analyze] the situation. The rejuvenation of farming land is a solution he created for the Heart Kingdom's herb farm facility.

Previously, Angus noticed that cultivating rare ingredients and herbs could slowly degrade the land's fertility. This is a massive problem for Angus and King Leon since they know cultivating these ingredients is only a cover.

They didn't want to spend more effort and resources on land reclamation just to camouflage the real ingredient. It may even cost them more than the profit from the Miasma Antidote sale.

In the end, Angus could only create a special solution or fertilizer to solve this problem. By coincidence, he found a perfect solution with its main ingredient from the Everwhite Region. He finds Gram's core contains great vitality and elemental nature.

After several treatments and processes, it could become a good solution for any infertile land and even rejuvenate a whole wasteland. With the Gram's core as the sole main ingredient, its production cost is also very cheap.

Angus is not worried about Gram's core's lack either since they could easily hunt them down from the Everwhite region. Since it will become a monster habitat, they will always have enough Gram's core.

The solution is essential for Marquis Arden and Sterling, who dominate the animal husbandry market. Domesticating high-quality livestock is costly, and they often need to cultivate their own feed through agriculture, especially for beast-type livestock.

Unlike ordinary livestock, beast livestock need more resources to grow since they are mana-based creatures.

Their animal feed farm may not be as harsh as Angus' farming facility. However, it still sucks the land's fertility over the years. If the land is too infertile, it will produce bad animal feed, affecting the final product quality.

Previously, the two Marquish needed to spend a lot of money to call the elf race to rejuvenate the whole land. With Angus' fertility solution, they no longer need to spend a lot of money and have a sustainable solution. It will completely solve the problem for their future generation.

"Hmm… I presume the two lords already get permission from His Highness." said Angus after thought for a while.

Hearing this, the two Marquis stop bickering and look at each other.

"Yes, we had." replied the two Marquis.

"His Majesty said as long as Baron Victory agreed to share the recipe, we would be permitted to use and create the solution." added Marquis Sterling.

Although Angus is the inventor of the fertility solution, he cannot share it with the public because it concerns the nation's secret, the Miasma Antidote. The kingdom strictly controls its use and information.

"Hmm… Then, let's.. Wait, I think it is better to leave this negotiation to Jayna. The fourth princess always takes care of my business matters." said Angus.

For Angus, this is a simple matter. The amount of money the two lords give is nothing to him. However, Jayna knows this is an opportunity to gain some influence over the two Marquis noble families.

The two Marquis noble families belong to the neutral faction. They neither support the Royal Heart family nor any other noble family. In fact, they are one of the few noble families that could stand on their own and become an independent small kingdom anytime.

Fortunately, neither has any reason to rebel or expand their territory. From their perspective as food producers, this is a counterproductive move that will only lead to more loss than profit.

Therefore, as long as King Leon didn't make unreasonable demands, they could follow and become part of the Heart Kingdom. They are even happy to be part of the Heart Kingdom since they get protection from two seventh-grade people.

Knowing Jayna's intention to bring the two neutral noble families on their side, Angus decides to leave this political game alone.

"Fourth princess?!" Marquis Arden and Marquis Sterling glancing at Jayna beside Angus.

In response, Jayna only nods to the two lords while taking care of the messy eater Anna.

'It seems the rumor about Baron Victory and the fourth princess' relationship is true. There is also this messy child.' thought Marquis Sterling.

'If the rumor about the fourth princess is true, I should prepare for this negotiation. No one knows what kind of things she will ask. I hope the idiot Sterling will not comply easily or get into more trouble.' thought Marquis Arden.

The two Marquis have their own concern about Jayna and the negotiation. After talking with Angus and Jayna more, they decide to leave the business negotiation for another day.

Another month has passed since Angus met the two Marquis and discovered Mia's family secret. This month, he has been busy training his friends and working on research projects.

As days passed, various combatants also arrived in the capital city. Although the competition was still a month away, no one could predict what would happen on the route, especially in this magical world.

Everyone prefers to come to the capital city as soon as possible. The capital city has become more crowded than before. For the local residents, every day is like a festival event.

*GRRGMMMM* At this moment, a strong earthquake suddenly shook the whole land. To be exact, the entire Heart kingdom is shaking.

'Earthquake?! No... the air itself is trembling!! This direction… Everwhite!!' thought Angus as he stabilized himself.

At the same time, a red-haired man stood still while observing the distorted misty terrain in the distance. He is Jade Victory, the meteor. He returned from the Undermine ruins a month ago and looked over the incoming master dwarves.

Then, Jade stays at Frostfall City to stabilize the previous Everwhite region. Although they could guess the ancient behemoth's plan was to make it a monster habitat, they still don't know the details of it.

Jade is tasked to monitor the whole area in case the Ancient Behemoth causes a wave of monsters. Still, they never expected the Ancient Behemoth to make a big move like this.

Furthermore, Jade could feel it was not just a simple closing dimension entrance. He could feel the Ancient Behemoth literally wreak havoc on the whole dimension. Although not enough to collapse the whole dimension, it will destroy everything inside.
