Laurie and Zinnia spent half the morning exploring, yet only managed to cover half the estate. When they finally sat down in the dining room, servants began presenting dish after dish of all styles.

Since it was Zinnia’s first visit, the chef truly pulled out all the stops to impress her.

Zinnia thought. No wonder the heroines in those novels could never escape the estate, no matter how hard they tried–it’s enormous.

I spent two hours riding around in a shuttle and only managed to cover a third of the outer area. I haven’t even started on the inside yet.

The daily cleaning of the estate was mostly done by robotic vacuums. If the staff had to do it, after one round, they’d just collapse in bed and not move a muscle.

Laurie said, “Lady Zinnia, since we weren’t sure of your preferences, we’ve prepared a selection of dishes from various cuisines. I hope you’ll find something you enjoy.”

Laurie stood beside Zinnia as she took her seat at the long dining table, which was completely covered with dishes. Behind her, a line of attentive servants waited.

Whenever Zinnia glanced at a dish, an observant servant would immediately place it on her plate. Zinnia thought, ‘Wow, I feel like an emperor.‘

Fortunately, Laurie assured her that any leftovers would be eaten by the servants, so nothing would go to waste. This put Zinnia at ease, and she said no more.

After a light lunch, Laurie dutifully led Zinnia on a tour of the estate’s inner grounds. Since this had been Master’s former home, Zinnia didn’t turn down his offer to show her around.

After spending the entire afternoon, Zinnia barely managed to get a general overview of the estate’s interior.

The surrounding orchards, stables, and sports fields were simply too vast to explore in a single visit. Eventually, she returned to the main manor, where her Master and his family had once lived.

She stood alone in the vast, empty living room. The towering ceiling seemed to touch the clouds, with intricate openwork and spiral staircase winding its way up, floor after floor, in this main building that stood twenty stories tall.
