Chapter 822 - 819 Door Isn’t Closed

Chapter 822: Chapter 819 Door Isn’t Closed

Inside the study of the castle in Sedona City, Lucas was handling government affairs while Mina read a book by his side.

She was still reading Lucy’s City of Miracles. This was her second time reading it, yet she still read with immense relish, becoming particularly focused whenever she herself made an appearance in the story.

While Mina was deeply engrossed in her book, she suddenly felt a warm breath brushing against her ear.

"Miss Mina is very beautiful; she is Lord Lucas’s personal bodyguard..." Lucas’s teasing voice sounded in Mina’s ear. His tone made Mina’s face flush a slight red.

"Master..." Mina complained coquettishly, her face blushing as she quickly closed the book. The sentence Lucas had just spoken was the exact description of Mina from the book.

"You were reading so intently. Were you mesmerized by yourself?" Lucas looked at the cat-eared girl’s blushing face, instantly feeling all the fatigue of the day swept away.

"N-no, I wasn’t... I-I just happened to be reading this part when the master saw it," Mina hid the book behind her back, her cat tail swishing restlessly.

"Is that really so?" Lucas asked suspiciously.

"Y-yes, it is..." Mina nodded guiltily, not daring to look directly at Lucas.

"Mina, you really are so cute like this," Lucas reached out, pulled the cat-eared girl into his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her directly.

"Mmn~" Mina’s face flushed crimson, but she didn’t refuse.

As she closed her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the doorway from the corner of her eye and stammered, "M-master..."

"What is it?" Lucas smiled faintly, silently withdrawing his roaming hand.

"Master, the door isn’t closed," Mina whispered with a red face.

"Uh..." Lucas turned to look. Sure enough, the study door wasn’t tightly shut. "That Annie..." Lucas gave a wry smile. He reached out and pinched Mina’s nose. Knowing she didn’t want to be walked in on, he didn’t press further.

Annie had just left half an hour ago. After fooling around with Mina here for a bit, she was called away by Catherine to go shopping. In her rush to run out, she hadn’t closed the door properly.

"Master, it’s daytime right now," Mina’s eyes flickered, her cheeks flushed.

"Alright, then we’ll continue tonight," Lucas looked at the cat-eared girl with a broad smile. The more he looked, the more tempting she became.

Being stared at by Lucas, Mina’s face grew redder and redder. Her cat tail swished uneasily behind her, feeling a bit of anticipation mixed with shyness.

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Let me tell you something," Lucas chuckled softly. Satisfied after teasing the cat-eared girl a bit, he sat back in his chair.

"What is it?" Mina tilted her head and asked curiously.

"We need to start preparing for the arrival of winter," Lucas said softly.

"Eh?? Winter? Master, what are you going to do? Autumn hasn’t even arrived yet," Mina was stunned. She didn’t expect the master to start planning for winter now.

"Vegetable greenhouses," Lucas said calmly.

"Is the master going to start building vegetable greenhouses now?" Mina frowned and asked.

"Some things must be prepared in advance. The population is large now; if we only start preparing in autumn, it will be too late," Lucas rested his chin on his interlaced hands. Sedona City’s population was much larger this year; it couldn’t compare to the small population they had last year.

Lucas planned to build vegetable greenhouses on a massive scale to grow leafy greens. Otherwise, when winter arrived, there wouldn’t be any fresh green vegetables to eat.

Currently, leafy greens were selling like hotcakes in Sedona City, especially at food establishments like Drunken Night and the Mārātān shop, which consumed a massive amount of vegetables every day.

As for these vegetable greenhouses, he planned to build them entirely out of glass—just like the medicine garden. This way, they would be both durable and light-transmitting. When it wasn’t snowing in winter and there was sunlight, the vegetables could still undergo photosynthesis.

However, all-glass vegetable greenhouses obviously couldn’t be built casually outside the city. If people with ulterior motives saw them, the secret of growing vegetables in winter would be leaked.

Not only that, but glass itself was not suitable to be known by too many people right now. Therefore, he planned to find a relatively remote and sparsely populated place to build the vegetable greenhouses.

The requirements for the location would be quite strict; soil and environment were both very important. It was just that finding such a place would be rather troublesome.

"Mina, have people look for a place like this..." Lucas explained his requirements to Mina, having Mina’s Security Department keep an eye out in advance.

"Understood," Mina nodded, picking up her notebook to write it down carefully.

"Also, tell the glass workshop to hurry up and build a few more kilns. Begin mass-producing glass. I want as much as they can make. The size of each pane should be fired according to the scale of the medicine garden’s glasshouse," Lucas instructed, twirling the pen in his hand.

The vegetable greenhouses he was going to build were massive in scale and number. After all, they had to supply all of Sedona City; one or two simply wouldn’t be enough at all.

Plus, they could be used in the future as well. Sedona City would have a winter every year, after all.

"Yes," Mina nodded seriously, recording this as well.

"We should be able to make it in time," Lucas sighed.

If they started firing glass now, by the time autumn approached, they could start building the vegetable greenhouses as soon as they found a location.

This time, he planned to cast the entire framework of the pillars using cement and iron, and then finally attach the glass panes one by one.

With autumn approaching, Dahlia would be returning soon. The iron ore she brought back could be diverted for exactly this use.

It was just that the quantity of glass needed was too large. He didn’t want to go to Earth to bring back greenhouse plastic film this time; he would first see if they could build enough glass greenhouses before making a decision.
