Chapter 10. New Abilities

Sienna-Rose accelerated the engine of her sleek red four-wheeler, keen to check the huge expanse of her estate. As she traveled the flowing trails, the enormous extent of her properties became increasingly obvious. 

Sprawling vineyards stretched out before her, row upon row of gnarled grapevines interlaced across the softly undulating terrain. The vines were filled with clusters of plump, delicious grapes in various states of ripening, their hues ranging from brilliant green to deep, inky purple.

Throughout the vineyards were orchards bursting with fruit trees—apple, pear, peach, and more—with their branches drooping under the weight of their plentiful bounty. 

The pleasant, earthy aroma of the soil blended with the fragrant tones of flowering flowers that lined the pathways, providing a compelling sensory experience.

Beyond the vines and orchards, Sienna-Rose observed three huge barns positioned in the southern regions of the estate, far apart from the elegant manor house. 

As she arrived, the quiet lowing of cattle and the occasional bleat of goats reached her ears, an experience to the estate's self-sustaining character. 

These livestock would provide the rich milk and cream required for the creamery, where Sienna-Rose's expert cheesemakers deal to produce a remarkable variety of artisanal cheeses.

The expanse of this verdant, productive landscape is genuinely amazing, far beyond the boundaries of even her imagination. Sienna-Rose couldn't help but wonder at the sheer vastness of the resources at her disposal.

"This is far more than I ever expected," she said, her voice a mix of wonder and disbelief. She had carefully maxed out every inch of land inside the game she played to create an amazing vineyard and mansion.

But standing among the actual, real world before her, Sienna-Rose is compelled to face the knowledge that this isn't a world inside a game, but a real world, a world she's living in now.

Sienna-Rose chuckled to herself, the weight of her circumstances slowly sinking in. "Holy... what should I do?" she mused aloud, a wry smile playing on her lips.

Moments later, the chuckle arose into a full-fledged laugh, the sound echoing across the verdant landscape as she grappled with the sheer magnitude of her new life.

This is no longer a game anymore; this is her reality, one that went much beyond her mind. And within this world, she held the cherished love of her four wives, a real relationship, no longer a game with mods, which will make the wives feel okay with whatever she's doing.

Sienna-Rose felt a surge of exhilaration at the endless possibilities that lay before her, her laughter carrying notes of both excitement and trepidation as she contemplated the challenges and opportunities that awaited her.

She already saw the estate from the first day she arrived and awoke in this world. But today, when she experienced it herself, everything was outstanding. This is her life now: a life of great possibilities grounded in the rich soil of this amazing estate and nourished by the love of her four wives.

Sienna-Rose's mind raced with ideas as she contemplated the immense potential of the sprawling estate before her. With the sheer scale of resources at her disposal, the opportunities for expansion and increased productivity were truly boundless.

First and foremost, she knew she needed to thoroughly assess the current operations and identify areas for improvement. By analyzing production data, identifying bottlenecks, and understanding the needs and capabilities of her workforce, Sienna-Rose could develop a comprehensive strategy to optimize the estate's efficiency.

One of her primary focuses would be on expanding the viticulture operations. While the existing vineyards were impressive, Sienna-Rose knew there was room for growth.

She envisioned meticulously mapping out the land, identifying the most suitable soil compositions and microclimates for cultivating an even greater diversity of grape varietals.

Investing in the latest agricultural technologies, from advanced irrigation systems to precision pruning techniques, because it seems people in this world didn't know anything about pruning grapes, would allow her to push the boundaries of wine production.

Alongside the vineyard expansion, Sienna-Rose planned to bolster the estate's fruit orchards. By diversifying the range of fruits grown on the property, she could not only cater to a wider consumer base but also explore innovative ways to integrate the harvests into her winemaking processes. The possibilities for blending, infusing, and experimenting with unique flavor profiles were endless.

To support the increased agricultural output, Sienna-Rose would also focus on enhancing the livestock operations. Expanding the herds of cows and goats would ensure a steady supply of high-quality milk and cream for the estate's renowned creamery.

She envisioned streamlining the milking and cheese-making processes, investing in state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to boost productivity and consistency.

Beyond the core agricultural pursuits, Sienna-Rose's ambitious plans included the development of additional revenue streams. She mused on the possibility of establishing a world-class hospitality experience, where visitors could immerse themselves in the estate's rich history and savor the fruits of her labor. Luxury accommodations, guided tours, and exclusive wine tastings would all contribute to a comprehensive, unforgettable experience.

"Oh my God, there's so much to do!" Sienna-Rose exclaimed, the realization of her myriad responsibilities washing over her in a wave of urgency. The expansive estate was bursting with potential, and she could no longer afford to leave her beloved wives in the dark about her plans. This time, she would involve them in every decision, ensuring they remained a part of her journey.

"For now, let's head to the winery," she proclaimed, her spirits lifting as she hopped into her red four-wheeler. With a soft hum escaping her lips, she set off toward the winery, the wind tousling her hair and the excitement bubbling within her like the effervescence of newly pressed grapes.

Upon arriving at the winery, she spotted Aiden waiting for her, an eager expression on his face as he stood beside six wooden barrels, each filled with a different variety of grapes—just as she had requested the day before. A broad smile spread across her face, the sight of those barrels igniting her anticipation. She approached, inspecting the contents, her mind racing with possibilities.

"Now, let's see if I can do this right," Sienna-Rose murmured, biting her lip and gritting her teeth in concentration. As she stood before the barrels, a torrent of knowledge surged through her mind, a stark contrast to the ineptitude of the old Sienna-Rose, who had once struggled as a third-rate sorceress. This new Sienna-Rose, however, felt a powerful magic coursing through her veins, pulsing with life and vigor.

With each passing moment, her confidence swelled, and her eyes glimmered with flecks of gold—a telltale sign of her burgeoning power. Without uttering a single incantation, she directed her magic toward the grapes, deftly destemming and crushing them with an ease that left her exhilarated.

"Oh, that was easy," she said, a hint of surprise coloring her voice as she marveled at the effortless flow of her newfound abilities.

The other employees working within the winery were left flabbergasted, their eyes wide as they witnessed their master wielding magic without the traditional chants. "My Lord, have you grown stronger?" Aiden asked, his voice a mixture of awe and disbelief.

"I think so," Sienna-Rose replied, a radiant smile spreading across her face. "Get the press machine and new barrels, and don't forget the glass!"

"Yes, sire!" Aiden responded promptly, hurrying off to gather the requested items, his excitement palpable.

With the initial crushing complete, Sienna-Rose turned her attention to the fermentation process—a stage that typically spanned one to two weeks before the wine could be aged for at least two years. "Let's ferment," she muttered, channeling her magic and visualizing the transformation taking place.

In an instant, the barrels filled with the rich, bubbling liquid, the fermentation process having been completed in mere seconds. A triumphant smile crested her lips as she watched Aiden and the other employees approach with the pressing tools. Although they were not equipped with modern machinery, Sienna-Rose knew that the simplicity of their methods would suffice for now.

Determined to understand the nuances of traditional production, she joined them in manually pressing the fermented wine, knowing that through this experience, she would glean insights into optimizing their operations. The pressing took two hours, followed by an additional hour spent transferring the wine into new barrels for aging.

As they worked, Sienna-Rose's mind buzzed with thoughts of efficiency. "Oh, let's make it mature faster," she mused, her excitement fueling her innovative spirit. With a flick of her wrist, she infused her magic into the wine, casting a time-altering spell that accelerated the aging process to three years in an instant.

Feeling only a slight drain on her mana, she chuckled to herself, the absurdity of her own power striking her as amusing. With her immense mana capacity, she realized that she was on the cusp of becoming a force to be reckoned with, potentially even the ruler of the continent itself.

Eager to sample the fruits of her newfound abilities, Sienna-Rose quickly moved to one of the freshly aged barrels. With a fluid motion, she uncapped the barrel and retrieved a small, delicate glass; it's the riesling, her anticipation palpable.

Bringing the glass to her lips, she inhaled the captivating aroma—a bouquet of crisp green apples, fragrant white flowers, and a hint of citrus zest. The scent was both invigorating and alluring, whetting her appetite for the liquid treasure within.

As the riesling touched her tongue, Sienna-Rose's eyes widened with delight. The wine possessed a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity, the flavors dancing across her palate in a delicate harmony.

The bright, fruity notes of green apple and juicy white peach were offset by a subtle mineral undercurrent, lending the wine a refreshing, elegant character.

The effervescent effervescence tickled her senses, the fine bubbles caressing her tongue and leaving a pleasantly tingling sensation. As she swallowed, the wine's vibrant acidity cleansed her palate, priming it for another sip.

Sienna-Rose savored the riesling, allowing the layers of flavor to unfold and linger. The wine's vibrant, almost crystalline clarity was a testament to the meticulous care she had poured into its creation. With each passing moment, she could feel the wine's complexity unraveling, revealing hidden nuances and depth.

"Remarkable," she murmured, a reverent smile spreading across her face. This is not a mere vintage; it's a masterpiece.

Sienna-Rose laughing out loud, "Get Simmons, and tell him to bring all my wives here!"
