Farmer starter

Far from the tree house, a tiny blue bird flapped its tiny wings toward a tree.

"Master, you should come back The King is calling for you." Its tiny voice came out of its small beak as it perched on a branch across from the golden-haired male.

The male looked up at the tiny round bird. Exasperated, he sighed at its appearance. "If it's not urgent, don't disturb me," he said, ignoring the tiny bird's anxiously jumping on the talons.

It blinked twice when it realized that the master had already vanished into the wood, knowing that its task to deliver the message had miserably failed. It seemed like its master was not in the mood, so bluebird decided to stop bothering him further and expanded its wings, flying away.

Arel went back to his hunting after the bluebird had gone. He was uninterested in knowing the bluebird's message when he had an important person to protect. But before he could continue chasing the prey, another unfamiliar scent disturbed him on his hunt again. He then headed toward the trace of who the newcomer was.

'A male..' he sniffed again 'Alone..' raising the corner of his lips, he was amused by the courage of the intruder. 'How interesting' He then lifted his finger, transformed it into a claw, and slashed a small gash in his arm, letting the golden blood drip onto the ground, exposing a barrier of light extending across the forest. This place was his forest, and his power was at its strongest here. This intruder must have had a suicidal thought, daring to approach while he was here.

Keira was chopping wood below the tree house in prep for building a tiny coop to raise pheasants. If she has a coop, the pheasants can lay eggs that can be collected for cooking.

Due to Arel's training, Keira was now skilled at using knives and other equipment. She could build things by herself without relying on him. Even so, she didn't stop training to improve her combat and survival skills without letting herself be a burden.

She started digging holes in the soil, putting a wooden pole into each hole, and using a rock to hammer it firmly. When all the poles were in place, she wrapped them up with vines to close the gaps between them.

"It should be fine now" wiping the sweat that was on her forehead, She picked up the straw nest and put it inside the coop for the pheasant to lay eggs. Now, only pheasants were left to make this coop complete.

When the building was done, there was another thing she wanted to do as well. She picked up her ring and conjured up a bag of seeds.

"I haven't thought I can conjure a seed bag," she murmured. It was because all this time she conjured only cosmetic things. and her previous lifestyle was just too unrelated for her to think about planting when she grows up in a city, and never own a piece of land. Yet, it was really convenient to have a conjured ability, even though she could only secretly use it when Arel was not around. Otherwise, he would definitely forbid her because of his concern about side effects.

Pouring out the seeds from the bag, she stored them in a wooden cup, and conjured the empty bag seed into a ring. Being uncertain if the seed from earth would grow here or not, she conjured lots of random seeds to test what would grow here.

Arel has returned from hunting and quickly went to help when he saw the female holding a stone shovel to dig the ground.

"It's too heavy. Just leave it to me," he said, raising his hands up, "Is this the bird you are looking for?" Showing a chubby pheasant squirmed in Arel's grip.

"Oh, you found it! Please put it in the coop there," she pointed to the newly built coop.

Arel followed where her finger was pointing and put the pheasant in the coop. "You made this?" he asked, gripping the fence and checking its strength. "It looks great." He nodded admiringly and went to hug Keira from behind, snuggling his nose into her hair.

She chuckled and tilted her head from the tingling he made, turning her body around to face him. "Thank you, Arel," she paused, pulling away from his hug and grabbing the seed cup, "can you help me plant these seeds?"

He lowered his face to look closely at what was in her hands. "What are you going to do with these things?"

"I want to try planting crops. It will grow up for us to harvest in the future," she put the wooden cup down and added, "I see that you seem to like the vegetables I brought home, so I thought about planting them and sharing them with you." She explained, smiling eagerly, as she was proud of having come up with such a brilliant idea. Arel was nice to her, and she wished to take better care of him as well.

In the past, after Keira's parents passed away, she was all on her own and worked hard to support herself. There was no one there for her to rest herself on. Even her relatives had abandoned her after there was no longer any benefit to keeping the relationship with her. How unkind they were to her had obviously turned Keira into a cold person who didn't trust even her blood relative.

All this time, she dreams of having a true loving family by her side, sharing love, happiness, and also difficulties. The sorrowful thought that came into her mind made her unconsciously hug Arel tighter.

Just as though he had read her mind that she always wanted to have a family, he felt the tightness of how his lovingly female pulled him closer; She must be afraid of losing him.

He gently held her face up, letting the glowing purple stare at him "Why don't we mate and have lovely cubs?" he said as he smirked at the angle of his lips.

Keira's cheeks flushed red. That sly face of his, knowing how deeply she fell for him, has turned her cheeks into peaches. She can't avoid the truth further when he's always been there in her heart since the start of their meeting.

It was undeniable that she liked him and wanted to spend her life with him. After all, they have been crushing on each other for this long, and she trusted him that he would never make her life miserable.

Arel frowned his brows anxiously, "You don't want to be my mate?"

Reaching out, she wrapped her arms around his neck "You are mine, and I am yours."

Hearing her response, he broke into a wide smile. Without delaying any further, he held her in his arms.
