() Rocal Empire, a mountain col on the outskirts of the northern suburbs of the imperial capital.

As the saying goes, "The mountains are exhausted, but the willows are bright." "The bustling imperial capital of Alexandria is the closest city to this place, but probably not many people in the imperial capital know that such a large manor house is hidden in the deep valley of the jungle that is inaccessible.

The estate is divided into two parts: a farm and a pasture. The farm is dominated by potatoes and precious flowers, and a small plot of land has been opened up to grow some rare alchemical raw materials. Dairy cows are mainly kept in captivity, because dairy cows do not require much land for grazing, and are highly productive, in addition to other livestock such as chickens and sheep, as well as a small number of horses.

The only way to the estate is a rugged hill road. Every week, the workers of the estate would drive horse-drawn wagons to transport buckets of fresh milk, baskets of eggs, boxes of potatoes, clusters of flowers, boxes of wool and other agricultural products to the small town outside, sell them to local merchants, and then buy the necessary supplies back to the estate. Years. The people in the manor are very low-key, never publicizing or meddling in their dealings with the outside world, so this isolated manor has been little known to this day.

Fernández, is the name of the estate and the family name of the owner of the estate. The Fernandez estate is low-key for a reason, because it has a unique feature compared to other farms: all the people on the estate, including tenant farmers, breeders, buyers, garden guards, and managers, are all women. This relatively rich land without men, once it is known to the outside world, it is strange that it does not attract the covetousness of those lawbreakers.

This was the first impression that the Fernandez estate left on Julian. He's been staying here for a week. Recalling that seven days ago, he took the initiative to save a mysterious young man from the assassination mercenary group "Sun-Eater Pupil" by the river, because it was late at that time, "Sun-Eater Pupil" could counterattack at any time, and the rescued person was seriously injured, and his life was on the verge of death, he and his attendant Dante took the injured to Fernandez's manor to rest and treat under the guidance of Empress Ipeya, and then Julian knew that there was actually only a female family in this world.

In fact, the Fernández family was not originally without men. A few years ago, the Fernández family was a famous family in the imperial capital, and had long occupied a prominent position in the political arena of the empire, however, time can change many things, there is no eternal empire, let alone just one family? More than 40 years ago, in the complicated political struggle, the Fernández family gradually lost the upper hand, and was finally defeated by political enemies. The government is dirty, and the winning side will naturally not be glorious, but the losing side also has nothing to sympathize with. The Fernández family not only lost their rightful place in the imperial capital, lost their ancestral glory, but also lost their titles and fiefdoms of the entire city-state, leaving only a manor on the outskirts of the empire as a place to live.

But as a loser in the political struggle, he was not driven out and exterminated, which is already a very good result.

For the Fernández family, however, this was only the beginning of a nightmare. More than 40 years ago, after the defeat in the political struggle, the head of the family at that time, Duke Fernández, was killed, and among the five descendants he left behind, three sons died unexplained, and only two daughters remained, the eldest daughter Fesli was married to the son of another powerful person in the imperial capital, so as to prevent the fate of the entire family from being wiped out, while the youngest daughter Kaiqi inherited the family business and recruited a son-in-law through guò, trying to leave a bloodline for the Fernández family; And these three daughters each recruited a son-in-law who was inverted, but the three sisters never got pregnant after each gave birth to a daughter. Such a curse did not occur only in the Fernández family, the retainers, soldiers, and servants who followed the family to the manor back then, their descendants were all girls, and no male baby was born in the manor for more than 40 years, and even if a male fetus was conceived, it would be lost before birth. Although there were many boys who followed the family to the manor at the beginning, these boys died soon after they became adults, and those husbands who became rich would also die of sudden illness a few years after marriage, and in this way, the entire Fernandez Manor became a complete woman's world.

Of course, there are always exceptions, and the man who lived the longest on the estate was an old butler who had been in the service of Fernández since the time of the old duke, and who dedicated his life to the declining family until his death 12 years ago at the age of 88, the last male member of the estate. It is worth mentioning that the old butler remained a virgin until his death, and he did not have any sex with any of the women in the estate. It is unknown whether this is the reason why the old butler can live for so long, but the shadow of the early death of male members has been hanging over the Fernández family, which has been regarded as the "curse of the family", and because of this, in the past ten years, no male has been willing to join the family, and the Fernández family is gradually dying out......

More than 40 years have passed. The political enemies who regarded Fernandez as a thorn in their side have passed away one after another, and the children and grandchildren of the political opponents no longer take the ruined Fernandez in their eyes, plus Fernandez has been low-key for many years and has never appeared in the government and the opposition, this family with a glorious history is quickly forgotten.

Now at the head of the Fernandez estate are three rather young cousins.

The eldest sister, Nanokai Fernandez, is 24 years old. Responsible for the finance, personnel, security and other chores in charge of the estate.

The second child, Sasha Fernandez, is 19 years old. Responsible for the management of all agricultural production activities on the estate.

The third sister, Lamilie Fernandez, is 16 years old. Responsible for supervising the external circulation of manor products and material procurement.

The grandmother of the three of them is Kaiqi, and their respective mothers are the three daughters born to Kaiqi back then.

Actually, this family also has a side branch of the zài. The current monarch of the Rocard Empire, Empress Ipeia, her grandmother is the sister of the Fernandez family's mistress Petty. In order to survive the family, Faithly was forced to marry the son of a powerful man in the imperial capital, and gave birth to a daughter for her husband who was married to her, and when she grew up, she became a concubine of the Emperor, the mother of Ipaya.

It is precisely because of such a layer of kinship that Ipeia will know that there is a deposit of Fernandez Manor, and will take Julian and Dante to Fernandez Manor with ease.

But Julian didn't care. Perhaps for other men, living in a beautiful and unrestrained environment all day long is a fairyland on earth, and they must be nostalgic and happy, but Julian does not have such leisure and leisure. He has never forgotten the purpose of his coming to the Rocard Empire, completing the task as soon as possible, and then exchanging it for the Pope's promise, which is what he cares about the most. Seven days earlier, he had rescued a mysterious besieged young man by the river and carried the mortal wounded to the manor, but after two days of treatment, the wounded were out of danger and gradually revived, Julian felt that he had done his duty, and after leaving the wounded in the manor to recuperate, he continued his journey to the imperial tomb with Dante and Empress Ipeia.

However, when he told Ipeya about the idea, the Empress flatly rejected it, without giving any explanation, and only asked Julian to "wait a little longer". As a result, after waiting for one day after another, Julian's patience was severely exhausted, but the empress's reply was always "wait". Angry that Julian was furious, he even wanted to leave Ipeya, and he and Dante went directly to the so-called Imperial Tomb; fortunately, reason finally suppressed the impulse, and Julian knew that without the guidance of Empress Ipeya, he and Dante would not be able to find the Imperial Tomb, so Julian had to knock out his teeth and swallow his stomach, and continued to endure.

Dante was damn even half-jokingly about whether the women of this manor would forcibly detain the three men as a tool for succession? Julian didn't bother to bother with such a vulgar joke. When he will be able to leave is what he cares about the most.

Bored, Julian let his footsteps follow his feelings, and he crossed the dairy farm and continued until he came to a grove. The forest area is small, and after passing through the woods is a rocky mountain. Empress Ipeia had told him and Dante not to go to the grove behind the dairy farm, every family had secrets that they didn't want outsiders to know, even the declining ones. But it is clear that now he is absent-minded and has put this advice behind him.

"Master Julian. ”

Just as he subconsciously raised his feet and walked into the woods, someone suddenly shouted to him from behind. Julian turned around and saw a dark-skinned, tall, plump short-haired woman standing behind him, crossed over her waist.

Nanokai Fernández, the owner of the estate. She was tall, on a par with Julian, with muscles as strong as pig iron and eyes as sharp as sea eagles. These traits were inherited from her father, a sturdy sailor who had worked hard at sea for many years.

"Oh, good morning, Miss Nanokai. Julian did not forget to respond with a courtesy greeting.

"Please don't go near there, there are a lot of poisonous snakes in this woods. You are a guest of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and if something happens to you, we cannot explain it to Her Highness. The "Royal Highness of the Princess" in her mouth is Yipeiya, even though Yipeiya has become the empress of the empire, the people in the villa still haven't changed their titles.

"This ...... I'm sorry. Julian suddenly remembered Ipeia's advice, and he shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment, "Your manor is too big, I accidentally got lost." ”

After saying that, he left the woods in the opposite direction.

"Master Julian, there is actually one more thing. Nanokai's words made Julian involuntarily stop, "Breakfast is ready, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to invite you to the dinner, she said she has something important to say to you." ”

Julian's eyes lit up! Could it be that this wayward empress was finally willing to continue on the road and take him to find the imperial tomb.
