This young master truly has the ambition of a hero.

Dick carefully selected several women who were all heavyweights, having trained as female martial artists in their youth. In addition to serving as caregivers, they also worked part-time as clinic security guards.

If a sick child is still restless and tries to make advances towards female doctors or nurses, the ever-observant older women will immediately notice and quickly offer him "motherly care".

What kind of treatment do unlucky kids get when they commit crimes as children and end up in their mothers' hands? If it's an older woman, she'll at least give them a "half-set" of treatment, and the force will definitely be stronger than the last!

This is the main reason why Dick came to inspect the clinic and found it to be quiet and peaceful – because the aunties were there to deal with all the troublemakers when the governor couldn't see them!

In short, the success of the special medicine declared that cold syndrome would no longer be an incurable disease. As for the cost of treatment, apart from the woodcutter who bravely risked his life to try the medicine, which was promised to be free by Dick himself, other patients still had to pay their fees.

Dick never expected to profit from this, but he couldn't let his people get away with it for free.

Treatment costs are based on the local adult standard of fifteen years old: five silver coins for adults and three silver coins for minors. Those who cannot afford the fees can write an IOU first; Dick kindly waived all interest, and the repayment period is one year.

But if anyone tries to default on their debts, Dick, as governor, has no shortage of debt collectors under his command.

Neither Shizuka Marikawa nor Natasha objected to Dick's decision, because as medical professionals who were involved in the entire drug development process, they knew exactly how much money Dick had invested in the project from research and development to mass production.

If the cost were truly split evenly, it would definitely be more than just five silver dollars per patient.

Part of the funding gap was covered by Dick borrowing from local wealthy merchants on IOUs in the name of the governor, or by having the largest local herbal medicine dealer provide the herbs they needed on credit.

The local wealthy businessmen, having received a warning before, were all very obedient.

Dick doesn't see the current fiscal deficit as a problem; his confidence stems from his well-developed spring land reclamation plan and the nationwide anti-bandit campaign.

The former aimed to attract inland populations through a tax-free policy for land reclamation. Many of the former miners laid off by Dick were likely drawn to the reclamation effort by the "three-year tax exemption" benefit. The compensation Dick had previously given them was their initial capital for land reclamation; this money would eventually flow into the local community, turning circulating "wealth" into "prosperity"!

It's worth mentioning that a brilliant strategist had previously advised the governor that there was no need to pay the laid-off miners back wages; they could simply shift the blame onto David.

Dick gave the man a half-smile and then gave him a thumbs up.

"You're trying to lay off tens of thousands of people without paying severance pay? You know how to incite a popular uprising!"

In short, Laguge has no shortage of land, and the black soil is quite fertile. As long as enough labor is allocated to agriculture, even if only one crop can be grown per year, it can theoretically be self-sufficient.

The anti-bandit operation was not only a matter of maintaining order, but it could also help Dick quickly solve the problems of finance and human resources. You see, those bandit dens usually contained some treasure, which were ready-made "money bags."

As for those bandit villages that ran rampant in the countryside, Dick also planned to make the most of their "surplus value" after wiping them out.

In a village like this, from top to bottom, from old to young, there's practically no good bird around!

They usually have close ties with one or even several bandit gangs, helping them sell stolen goods, gather intelligence, and also serving as a talent pool for the bandits.

Young people who grow up in this environment take pride in becoming "bandit trainees," and after two and a half years of training, they can officially "rob" bandits.

These bandit villages generally defy the law and often oppress surrounding villages. However, they are cunning in that they never owe taxes and will intentionally bribe local officials to act as their inside agents.

Therefore, Dick always kept the anti-bandit operations a closely guarded secret.

The reconnaissance work was entrusted to his three female ninjas. The officers in charge of the simulation were partly private army officers he brought from the empire, who had no connection with the locals. Those recruited for the martial arts tournament were all vetted by Tia, who could "read minds (psychology specialist)," and were all reliable people.

Once these bandit villages are breached, the first thing to do is to ransack their homes; Dick is counting on this for short-term revenue.

Secondly, all residents of the bandit village were subjected to strict "labor reform".

Dick planned to establish a labor camp under the governor's office, where the adults from these bandit villages would be sentenced first and then sent to reclaim wasteland for farming. Strict discipline and training would be used to wash away their banditry. Those who behaved well would have their sentences reduced, while those who were disobedient or tried to escape would be put in solitary confinement and subjected to a minimum of six months of extended sentences, which would make them behave.

Dick didn't expect that labor reform would make these people repent and truly turn over a new leaf, but at least it would teach them to respect the law and know that breaking the law would be punished!

As for the minors in the bandit village, Dick would not make an exception for them just because they were children.

One good thing about the Empire's laws is that there is no law protecting minors or infants.

He has already chosen the location for the juvenile detention center. Those under the age of three from this group of bandit villagers will be sent to orphanages, while the others will be sent to the detention center to receive labor reform suitable for children. At the same time, they will also receive cultural education and vocational training so that they can work in factories to tighten screws in the future.

Our Laguge is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, and we are determined not to support idlers!

In short, land reclamation and bandit suppression were the two main tasks Dick had to undertake in his first year in Laguge.

Under the "reclamation" category, there is a sub-project for road construction, which involves organizing manpower to build simple access roads to connect the town with the surrounding villages.

Dick had many things he wanted to do, including some ambitious, large-scale projects. But one must take things one step at a time; he wanted to take big strides, but he was even more afraid of making a mess of things!

It was nearly dusk when Dick left the clinic. He returned to his residence in the castle, where Belfast had prepared a delicious dinner for him—a perfectly seared steak.

As a maid, Belfast is an impeccable and perfect maid, but as a British ship girl, she is excellent at brewing black tea and can make delicious desserts, but when it comes to making formal meals, she is not as good as Rita.

Today, Rita was accompanying her on her inspection trip, so Belfast, knowing that Dick didn't like fish and chips or other British dishes, only made steak.

Looking at the two maids in front of him who not only had to act as his secretaries to help him handle various official documents, but also take care of his daily life and occasionally satisfy his sexual desires, Dick thought to himself that when he had enough money in the future, he would simply summon two beautiful female chefs to make more delicious dishes that would make everyone's clothes burst open.

There's no shortage of high-level chefs in Beijing. You can find chefs who can cook French cuisine, Italian cuisine, and the major Chinese cuisines that Dick loves the most.

But the problem is that the waters in the capital are too deep. Dick grew up in the Duke's mansion, where he ate with his family at home. Before each meal, the Duke would arrange for someone to taste the poison. How could you expect him to trust those chefs of dubious origin?

However, given the current situation, Dick had already sent the last few high-grade magic stones to his master, Behemoth. He didn't even have the materials to perform another summoning, let alone the one Yu Ying needed to summon the chef.

Let's take it slow!

After dinner, Dick planned to take a bath and then go to bed early.

In this remote and impoverished area, ordinary people rest at sunset, and even the wealthy don't have any proper entertainment activities. They might as well go to bed early and get up early, as tomorrow will be another day of burying themselves in official documents.

"David, you son of a bitch, you've left me with way too much mess!"

After spending half a second reminiscing about a certain "old friend," Dick stripped naked and entered his governor's private hot spring bath.

This bathroom was a luxurious retreat that David had built for himself at great expense. It features a single hot spring with a continuous flow of water, which has a translucent light green color, like jade, due to its high content of ferric sulfate.

In the days that Dick has been in Lagug, he has demolished many of the things that were built during the David era that were wasteful of resources and ultimately useless, but this hot spring bath has been preserved.

Dick soaked in the pool and immediately let out a satisfied groan.

Unfortunately, Belfast and Rita both declined to join him in the hot springs because they had other commitments, and Tia was nowhere to be found. Otherwise, Dick would have really liked to find a close female friend to go to the hot springs with.

"Sigh! It's quite lonely being alone."

"Then I'll keep you company!"

"Oh my god, who is it?"

Suddenly hearing a woman's voice coming from the steam of the hot spring, Dick jumped up.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a seductive figure emerge from the artificial hill opposite the pool, slowly walking towards him on the water. It was none other than the equally naked Black Artoria.

Dick thought to himself, "This wicked woman is even planning an ambush. She didn't say a word before I came in, and she was hiding behind the rockery. She really wanted to scare me."

Black Gunner looked Dick up and down, his gaze finally settling on a certain protrusion, and said with a half-smile.

"No wonder Master wanted someone to keep him company, it turns out he wanted someone to help him relieve his boredom!"

Following Black Gun's gaze, Dick glanced down and quickly plopped back down in the pool.

Heaven and earth bear witness! This was just a perfectly normal physiological reaction, nothing out of the ordinary. It was definitely not caused by him imagining Belfast, Rita, and Tia's beautiful figures.

Seeing a hint of embarrassment on Dick's face, Black Gun's smile widened. He moved closer to Dick and pressed his ample breasts against Dick's arm. Dick, still a boy's size, immediately felt his slender arm being firmly embedded in a soft groove.

Black Gunner leaned close to Dick's ear and deliberately blew air into his sensitive elf ear.

"We're already in that kind of relationship, why are you still shy? You want a beautiful woman to accompany you to the hot springs, am I not suitable? As long as it's Master's request, your Artoria, your Black, can do anything for you anytime, anywhere! On horseback, I can charge into battle for you, and off horseback, I can take off my armor and ride at your waist. Are you still not satisfied with this Artoria?"

Black Gun's tone was full of the allure of a mature older sister, but when she deliberately said "your Artoria," she secretly glanced at the artificial hill not far away, where she could vaguely feel the slight ripples in the water.

If Dick were fully focused, he would naturally have noticed, but at this moment, the wicked woman had already firmly grasped his "handle," making it difficult for him to concentrate.

Feeling the change in grip in her palm, Black Gun grinned even more triumphantly. The female knight then performed a graceful flip onto the horse, her arms like the reins of a cart, securing the seemingly tender and delicious "little horse" in front of her.

Soon, the sounds of a woman and a boy humming with pleasure filled the bath.

Black Gun Doku casually tossed aside her bun, letting her long, dark gold hair fall loose. Although she acted wildly, her movements were not rough. She was like a skilled female knight training her foal, speaking encouraging and praising words in a strict tone.

But this made Dick a little bit unconvinced!

You're clearly a novice on your second "real-world" experience, so why are you pretending to be a seasoned veteran? Trying to mask your inexperience with a calm tone? Hmph! It's time to show you some real skills.

Suddenly, Black Gunner, who was "training" the horse, discovered that the foal had gone berserk and was trying to take the initiative. Moreover, it started with a "weakness attack," catching her off guard.

However... I don't dislike a Master who suddenly becomes so powerful like this!

"Be gentle... I didn't... Hey! Don't use your teeth... I didn't know you could do this? This feeling of being gently rubbed by teeth... It's not bad!"

Black Gun's voice was quite loud, almost echoing in the bathroom, but the inner quarters of the governor's mansion were off-limits to unauthorized personnel, and even if someone heard it, neither Dick nor Black Gun would care.

Those who care are hiding behind the artificial hill, listening to another version of themselves speaking those awful words in the exact same voice, their faces burning with embarrassment.

"(So, this is what she meant by showing me something good?)"

Behind the artificial hill, Bai Qiang covered his ears tightly, his entire face flushed red.

The current version of her is not the White Lancer Artoria from a certain movie, who became the goddess Rungomminiad due to long-term use of the Holy Lance, but the White Lancer Artoria from the game who has only been wielding the gun for a little over ten years and whose mind has not yet become "dehumanized".

And because Dick's summoning only summoned her, she has now been completely freed from the influence of the Holy Lance and is the true Artoria Pendragon.

Regarding his Master, White Lancer admitted that he did have some affection for him, but it should be the appreciation of a former king for someone with the potential to become a king, rather than unsavory lustful love.

The other woman scoffed at this and laughed at her for being a hypocrite.

Rather than being controlled by that broken gun, losing all humanity and becoming an empty god, it's better to learn from her, embrace the filth within the Holy Grail, and become a free-spirited and unrestrained woman who lives by her own desires.

White Gundam initially agreed with Black Gundam's words, and felt that she was gradually becoming dehumanized as she was being eroded by the divinity of the Holy Lance. So she seriously said that she would learn from Black Gundam.

But now she's a little confused... Is this what it means to be so wild? This is outrageous!

Bai Qiang really wanted to run away, but unfortunately the door was on the other side of the bathroom.

Between her and the gate were her "inseparable" Master and Black Gun Saber. She wasn't a ninja, and it seemed that she couldn't use spirit form in this world, so she could only awkwardly continue to hide.

But at that very moment, another Artoria suddenly let out a joyful cry, and then without hesitation betrayed the White Lancer who was practically digging a tunnel with her toes to escape.

"Hey you, you hypocrite, how about you have some fun? Master is really strong, especially after being blessed by the gods of this world. His spiritual veins are fully open, and his magic power is so abundant and intense. It's simply unforgettable. We're good sisters, so let's share the good fortune!"

Hearing Black Gun Dai calling for help, Dick, who had briefly entered a state of sage mode, realized that there was someone else in the bathroom, and from Black Gun Dai's words, she had deliberately called White Gun Dai over.

At that moment, Dick saw White Gunner emerge somewhat awkwardly from behind the artificial hill where Black Gunner had been hiding. His fair face was now flushed, and his shy expression was completely unlike his usual heroic demeanor as he sat regally on his warhorse.

Unlike Black Gunner, she wasn't bold and unrestrained, so she tried to cover her private parts with her hands, one vertical and one horizontal, while her two fleshy, long legs were tightly clamped together. Little did she know that she looked far more alluring in this state than if she were completely naked.

Black Gun beckoned her to come closer, then stood up to make room for her. After thinking for a moment, he decided to try a more "participatory" position, and actually pulled Dick into his arms, letting him sit on his ample lap, his breasts pressed tightly against his back.

Watching Bai Qiangdai's breathing become increasingly rapid and he gradually approach, Dick sighed inwardly, this was destined to be a "trial"!

The author says:

Author's Note: This is the first chapter released. As promised, it's 5000+ words, half of which is plot and the other half is a little treat for my readers!

Actually, I'm not sure what the specific limits of "teenager's dream" are, but after reading some of the books by the editors, they all seem to be quite creative with it. I'll just test the waters first. As long as I don't get warned, I'll roughly follow these limits when writing "the strawberry part on the cake" from now on. If I get scolded, I'll revise it (grinning).

Chapter 030: There's nothing new under the sun.

White Artoria felt she couldn't remember the last time she had been able to sleep so soundly and peacefully. The feeling of being so well nourished, both physically and mentally, was truly comfortable and relaxing.

This cushion in my arms is very comfortable to hug.

Wait a minute! A cushion?

Opening her eyes, the first thing that caught White Gunsty's eye was Black Gunsty sleeping opposite her. The two faces were almost identical, only slightly different in color, making her feel as if she were looking in a mirror. As her gaze moved slightly downwards, she could see a clump of smooth, shiny black hair that looked soft and seemed to feel quite nice to the touch.

"Master?"

As her newly awakened brain fully activated, a multitude of images surfaced in her mind, helping her recall the lavish feast of the previous night.

Knights of the Twins vs. Young Governor!

That wasn't the kind of relationship that should exist between a Master and a Servant, but the relationship did indeed occur.

After experiencing it firsthand, White Lancer had to admit that their Master was simply amazing! That incredibly pure magic was as sweet as fine wine, making her unable to stop after tasting it. The dignified Knight King actually revealed such a shameful side.

Thinking back to how she had constantly craved more, White Lancer Artoria felt her face burning. Just then, Black Lancer Artoria woke up as well. Being another Knight King in the world, she immediately understood from White Lancer Artoria's expression.

"I never would have guessed, White, you're way more of a pervert than I am."

"Stop talking..."

Dick, who was caught in the middle, was actually awake at this moment, but the warm and comfortable environment made him decide to stay in bed for a while. However, Black Gun suddenly started playing with his elf ears, so Dick had no choice but to open his eyes.

"You little pervert, still pretending to be asleep!"

"I'm just staying in bed a little longer; it's the weekend."

"Oh right, it's the weekend, so... shall we continue?"

"Goodbye, Belfast should be here soon."
