The Starfield Farming Sovereign (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 298

“But…” Xyla quickly interrupted Serefia’s excitement, her voice lowering, tinged with frustration and unease. “Kevin said Elizabeth has a new rule.”

“What rule?” Zachary frowned.

“She said anyone who publicly insulted her or spread rumors about her farm on Starnet would be put on a blacklist. Those people can’t enter the farm, and none of her products will ever be sold to them.”

Xyla’s voice grew softer as she spoke, her head lowering slightly.

The news instantly crushed the Knights‘ hopes.

The atmosphere in the living room turned heavy.

Serefia’s face fell. Back when Elizabeth had drugged Zachary to force a marriage, Serefia had not held back online, cursing and criticizing Elizabeth with the harshest words to defend Zachary’s reputation and the Knight family’s honor.

Zachary’s face paled. His fingers curled unconsciously.

Although he prided himself on staying above petty online fights, he had allowed his friends and family- especially Xyla–to publicly criticize and smear Elizabeth.

He knew how many of those posts had been exaggerated to sway public opinion.

Cesar’s expression was the darkest.

After a long silence, he tapped his fingers on the armrest and fixed a sharp gaze on Zachary. Zachary

‘Dad?” Zachary’s voice tensed.

‘Keep in contact with Elizabeth,” Cesar said, his voice low but commanding. “You must speak to her yourself and use the history you share. I believe she still has some old feelings for you. No matter what we must get products from her farm–especially those said to help repair mental power”

‘But…” Zachary’s face showed clear struggle and resistance. “Dad, Hannah.

He meant Hannah, his current fiancée, and Elizabeth’s half–sister

Cesar’s demand–that Zachary, about to marry Hannah, should go beg Elizabeth, who had once been obsessed with him was deeply humiliating.

“At a critical moment like this, you’re still worried about feelings Cesar’s voice rose sharply. laced with frustrated anger. “Do you even want to repair your damaged mental power? Do you even care about your future? That little bit of pride–what’s it worth compared to this?”

Cesar’s words hit Zachary like a hammer.

He thought of his stalled, even slightly regressing mental power.

If it could be repaired. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms

Zachary remained silent, clearly hesitating Cesar sighed heavily, exhaustion and a faint hint of regret in the sound. “If I had known it would come to this. I shouldn’t have let you act so recklessly back then.”

Zachary and Serefia froze.

Xyla looked up in surprise as well.

Cesar didn’t elaborate further. He just closed his eyes wearily.

Their urgency–and their willingness to set aside pride–stemmed from the fact that the reality of Elizabeth’s farm had spread across Starnet, shocking the entire Kingdom.

It began with Lilith sharing small, processed video clips within her friend circle.

Then Melinda publicly posted clearer, more detailed footage on her private account.

The videos completely overturned people’s assumptions about “farming” in the interstellar era.

There were no hydroponic tanks, no nutrient pipes, no artificial lighting.

The camera showed real, dark brown soil that seemed to carry the scent of moisture.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, apple trees–everything grew directly from the earth, lush and vibrant. Leaves stretched wide, fruits were full and colorful.

Even more striking, Zaylee, Melinda, Jacob’s wife Christina Quinby, and even Winona and her unseen daughter Denisse appeared in the footage.

They rolled up their sleeves, carried baskets, and personally picked strawberries and tomatoes. Their faces were relaxed and happy. Some even popped strawberries still glistening with morning dew into their mouths, closing their eyes in satisfaction.

This scene was more convincing than any lab report.

If these respected ladies were eating the farm’s products, it proved the crops were safe and highly

desirable.

Starnet erupted.

The videos shared by Lilith, Melinda, and others set the entire platform ablaze

The footage alone, with its high–definition quality and beautiful composition, was impressive–but the reality it revealed shocked viewers to their core.
