Once home, Ethan returned to his full duties as a husband.
Work, training, and showering his women with blessings filled his days.
It was the same routine again and again.
Boring, yet fulfilling.
Time passed quietly.
Soon, several of his wives became pregnant, leaving only Sophia and Diana yet with child. The manor grew livelier each day, filled with laughter, arguments, and the constant movement of servants and guards.
As for the transfer of land, Ethan did not know what exact changes would take place. He only knew that things were moving. Not long after, an envelope arrived bearing the royal seal.
The contents were simple.
The Blank family was free to extend their territory for now, but they were requested not to overextend beyond the western part.
This was more than enough for Ethan.
There was still a vast stretch of land between the current borders and the western limit. Even so, something about the message left him uneasy, though he could not pinpoint why.
