A few days later, the couple found themselves outside of Ferrol Town. It was just the two of them this time, without anyone tagging along.

Although the way there was relatively dangerous, Garan was not weak and their Beast Repelling Potion also helped quite a bit. Of course, they also took this time to train a bit, with Garan letting Althea handle the monsters that she could.

Anyway, her equipment was way beyond her level, so they would be useful for a long time. Still, they couldn’t stay for too long because the event was about to start so she wasn’t able to level up in the end.

“So this is a Town, huh?” Althea said, looking around as soon as they entered the gates.

This was the first time Althea had gone to another territory outside their area, and it certainly was her first time in a town.

Ferrol Town was a really nice place and worthy to be called one of the better Towns in the region. It had tall walls, relatively dense sentries, strong guards, and a bustling economy.

Jonathan’s predecessor was really wise to hold all these events year-round, and it made sure Ferrol earned a lot from its visitors.

The tourism industry really was one of the best ways to increase territory income, and Ferrol was one of the few examples of a territory that managed to take advantage of it.

Anyway, the fair would be starting the next day and they took the day to explore the base and rest well.

“This is what I prepared for you back then,” he said, showing off the base and its amenities. He also took her to the gardens and the gazebo, making her brighten at the sight of it.

“Wow…” Althea said as she stepped forward and touched the well-taken-care-of garden. “Husband, this is amazing!”

He was a bit proud but also a bit embarrassed. He could remember his thought process when it was being constructed. He thought she’d be in awe of what he made for her, but in reality, she was simultaneously building her own village.

“It’s beautiful!” she said as she stood up, running to him for a hug. “My husband is so good.”

Contrary to Garan’s embarrassment, Althea was so genuinely proud of him.

To be able to carve up his own place in this world was not easy. She never thought her own achievements was above her husband’s. On the contrary, she was more impressed with what he had done!

After all, she was gifted a Lord Token as soon as she landed! Her husband had no such advantage!

He started as a ‘weak’ foreigner without any backing at all. In the span of three months, he obtained good land in a good town. Who else could’ve done it? No one!

While they perused the place, they were hurriedly greeted by the staff there. Garan did send a letter of their arrival, but he didn’t specify the exact date or time. Combined with the delays they had because they also trained on their way there, the staff was unaware that they had arrived at all!

Those who hadn’t seen Althea looked in awe. Not only was she super beautiful and charming, but she also made the scary captain look so… soft!

Anyway, the two took a walk around the vicinity, and they stopped at a gazebo and relaxed there, feeling the atmosphere of the small garden with just the two of them.

It had been a while since they traveled a distance for a date, and it was really quite fun. Of course, after a while, they would still miss their children.

“It would be so nice if the babies are here,” she said, snuggling on his wide shoulder.

The children, like her, would love adventures.

Garan’s lips twitched but didn’t answer the affirmative. “Maybe when they can start fighting and defending themselves,” he said, caressing his wife’s waist.

The atmosphere warmed a bit and he tilted his head down and took her lips. They closed their eyes as their lips rubbed against each other’s, and their tongues played inside each other’s mouths.

Garan’s strong arms pushed her flush to him, so he could feel her softness while he tasted her mouth.

However, the heated atmosphere was cut off by a new voice coming from the side.

“Captain, Miss Althea!” One of the staff, Esau, yelled as he ran to the gazebo.

“What is it,” he asked without any intonation in his voice. Esau looked at them and gulped, realizing that he must’ve had interrupted something!

The legends were true! The Captain was the softest with the Lady, but he could also be the harshest when she was around!

Esau genuinely feared for his life!

Fortunately, he was a professional. He cleared his throat and managed to utter what he had to anyway.

“The Lord is here!”

…

“You guys really know how to carve a life wherever you are, huh?” the tall man said as he approached, looking around the small gardens by the way.

Jonathan had never been inside the base, and there had never been a need to. He saw that, although it was small, it was well-planned and reminiscent of some parks in Alterra.

The two stood up and greeted him, doing the standard salute, and received one in kind.

“I came to buy some items,” he said. “Then I heard you were here and I thought I’d greet you.

“Welcome to Ferrol Town, my proud home,” he said.

“Rightfully so, Lord Jonathan,” she said with a smile. “Ferrol is a well-deserved top-tier town. I’m sure we have a lot to learn by coming here.”

Jonathan quite liked her attitude and nodded. “I can guide you. I definitely know more about the territory than everyone else.”

The two looked at him, a bit surprised. Althea looked at him appreciatively. “Will this be alright? I mean, you are the lord after all.”

“I don’t see what the issue is,” he said, shrugging. “Besides, I’ve tweaked a few things in the territory inspired by what I have seen in Alterra.”

He gave them a sly look. “As Elders who know a lot about it, I’d like to hear some of your opinions on them.”

It had to be said: The previous Lord educated his heir very well, and he would definitely benefit a lot from it.
