Chapter 161: Philandering ways.

The following morning, Roland did not go riding for two reasons. One, his wife was pregnant and two, she had woken up when it was still dark outside and started her renovations. She was pregnant, he could not let her be so he followed her around and Sunny followed him.

For five hours, they had been hard at work with some servants, changing the appearance of Stormwind inside. He finally saw the things that had been brought in the six carriages that had come with them.

The Thorin’s had brought five extra carriages as well, all with things that Sigrid wanted to use in decorating and renovation.

In the grand hall, she had added custom-designed furniture, plus sofas, modern chandeliers made of cascading crystal orbs. The dark heavy curtains had been replaced lighter ones which were light gold and cream colored.

Unnecessary portraits had been taken down and replaced with new framed pictures and art. Roland would it not call it art, pictures of frogs on leaves and rain falling down was not art to him. He especially disliked the pictures that replaced horse portraits. Nevertheless, all the ridiculous art managed to look good where it was, which he grudgingly admitted to Sigrid.

The biggest change which he still couldn’t understand was his dungeon, a place meant for holding and questioning prisoners. It had been scrubbed clean and turned into a cinema. Sigrid had called it state of the art cinema with plush recliners and immersive sound systems, a new product of the mage estate.

They were now on a break, having breakfast while other people did more renovations which he was sure would take a full week.

Breakfast was outside, on the grassland. This was because Sigrid wanted to oversee the arrival of the cattle, goats, sheep, chicken and ducks. Roland had sent his solicitor and knights to purchase as many of these animals as they could find from nearby towns, villages and cities.

He didn’t think they would get the job done so quickly and impressively. Already, two hundred cattle had arrived, one thousand chicken, three hundred ducks. They had acquired two hundred sheep and three hundred eighty eight goats. Someone had even sold them ten geese and two donkeys.

Jesting, the ever efficient butler had already hired sixty three farm workers to care for the birds and animals and after breakfast, Sigrid wanted to educate them on the care of each breed specifically.

They startled the cattle, which startled the horses. Suddenly it was a noise competition on
