Chapter 254: Fruit heist.
Sigrid quickly cast a spell on Deborah’s mouth to keep the little girl from revealing anymore secrets.

Roland, dragged Sigrid into the green house, commanding the rest of the nobles to stay outside. They found the Thorin’s hard at work, filling carts with various fruits.
"Ahem." Roland cleared his throat.
Lady Iryne raised her head, her eyes flashed over Sigrid and Roland briefly before returning to the task at hand, harvesting winter melons which were as yellow as the dress she was wearing. "We did not think that you two would be joining us."
"We did not think that you would be here either." Sigrid commented. "Do you all know where you are?"
"The mage estate." Elowin answered, approaching them. "I tried to be the voice of reason but mother said I discovered these seeds so...."
"So we must taste the fruits before others." Lady Iryne finished off for her son.
Duke Thorin’s figure came out from behind some thick winter melon vines. In his hands was the largest winter melon Sigrid had ever seen. "Siggy, I think you said you had a recipe for winter melon soup." He slapped the winter melon lightly three times. "This one will do just fine for breakfast tomorrow morning. Perhaps we can discuss the disapproval in your husband’s eyes then."
"This is not your personal farm, you cannot waltz in as you please and make off with whatever you want." Roland said in a huff.
