Chapter 469: Planting

Chapter 469: PlantingAt Earl Rockfords request, I had to plant 10 cherry blossom trees.

At any rate, because he disliked the idea of being similar to Margrave Volton, he increased the number of trees.

Plating 10 trees is fine, but please dont boast about it to the other nobles and merchants.

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha! Dont worry about it. Ill only gloat about it to Godwin.

No, please stop it!

I refuse!

Haa~

Since I brought more cherry blossom sprigs for planting, even ten trees was no problem. Though I dread Margrave Voltons reaction once he finds out about this.

(No, it fine. More isnt always better when it comes to cherry blossoms. Our place only has one, but that was already more than enough.)

I felt nothing but anxiety as Earl Rockford laughed loudly, but it wont end if I dont do what I have to do, so I planted the cherry blossom sprigs in the places Earl Rockford indicated.

Lets just not think about it too much anymore. Surely Earl Rockford doesnt have another person he competes with aside from Margrave Volton, right? Yeah, lets think about it like that.

While Takumi was planting the cherry blossom trees, inside the mansion, Madam Rose and the maids were gathering around Maria and Kaede.

Emilia was perplexed, but perhaps because Madam Rose and the maids were excited, she could tell that tensions were strangely high.

On the table surrounded by those women, flowery underwear of various colors unlike the cherry blossoms were blooming.

M-mother, t-these are underwear?

Fufu, I think its almost time for you to be wearing these sorts of underwear.

Urk

Emilia-chan was dyed red in the face from embarrassment at the sight of all the colorful underwear on the table.

Leaving Emilia out of the conversation, Madam Rose and the maids picked up the garments on the table and stated their opinions.

This half-cup bra is sexy, isnt it?

Its nice. But for everyday use, this full cup bra would be better.

Black doesnt suit me.

You are still young. Wont white and light colors be better?

Madam rose and the maids clamored and gave their comments on the underwear.

Once theyve assessed each one, Madam Rose ordered the underwear designs she likes from Maria.

All of the garments displayed here were design and color samples, so the women each have to make a order form so the actual product fits their size.

Ah, oh right. Kaede-chan, do you have some stockings?

I do~~!

Perfect. Then Id like 10 white and black stockings please.

Ah, Id also like two please!

Me too!

Kaedes special translucent elastic threads weaved into stockings was very popular. Recently, it had become possible to get a similar elastic string from caterpillar-type monsters, and that was being sold in high class lingerie stores, but compared to Kaedes special threads, the feel of the material and its durability was vastly inferior.

Only during these times were the women of the Rockford Earldom able to buy in bulk.

Fufu, I wonder if this would hustle up my husband.

At that time, Earl Rockford, who was in the garden, felt a chill run down his spine for some reason.
