Eric immediately pretended to be a gentleman, took her hand and gave a kiss on the back of her hand, "You are the second nobleman willing to make friends with me, Miss Serra." ”

"Who's the first one?" Sierra asked.

"Annahi." He didn't shy away, and a touch of gentleness flashed on his raised face, "Your family relationship is complicated, but she is not bad, and you will be well taken care of." ”

"I hope so."

Serra sat for a moment, then stood up and tried to jump off the boulder.

Eric grabbed her arm and reminded, "Put on your shoes." ”

She looked down at her moss-covered and mud-stained feet, bent down to pick up her slippers, "I'll go back and wash my feet and put them on." ”

Glancing at her small, white feet, Eric was the first to jump down from the stone and bend down in front of her, "Come up." ”

Serra didn't hesitate, and as soon as he finished speaking, she grabbed her shoes and threw herself on his broad back.

Eric hugged her thighs, lifted the weightless man up, turned his face sideways and said, "You're really not polite at all..."

With her chin resting on his left shoulder, Sierra turned her face to say thank you, her lips brushing the corner of Eric's lips, and they both stared at each other in a daze.

She jerked her upper body up on his back, her fingers pressed against her thick shoulders, and her face was reddened.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Eric coughed unnaturally, "It's okay, it's just a friendly kiss." ”

Serra's hand on his shoulder tightened, and her rounded nails dug into her thick deltoid muscles.

"How often do you kiss other women like that?" Her tone was unhappy, and the light of her eyes that concealed meaning fell on Eric's slightly reddened ears.

Eric turned his head sideways, his angular jaw tightened, "No, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Oh." Serra's upset attitude immediately improved, and she leaned on his back again and whispered, "It's my first time, too." ”

Eric's ears turned redder, and he ran with her on his back and never spoke to her again.

Serra didn't continue teasing him, either.

What she can now be sure of is that Eric is the Orion of the Annahi family, and the two have known each other since childhood, but the heroine has not launched an emotional offensive against him.

The exact reason for this is unknown, but it is certain that Eric has a crush on Annahi.

What was it that prevented Annahi from developing him further and giving her a chance to exploit the loophole?

The plot in the book is almost forgotten, and Serra has been thinking about it for a long time without a clue.

Jem saw them running back from the woods, carrying a shotgun and shouting, "Eric, we're ready to hunt!" ”

"Right away."

Eric dropped Serra to a well and poured some water on her filthy feet with a wooden scoop.

The coldness of the well water made her tremble, and she curled up her toes and took a deep breath, "You're going hunting now?" Can I go?"

When Gael, who was passing by, heard her words, he immediately vetoed, "The jungle here is not the private hunting ground of your nobles, stay here. ”

Eric agreed with what he said, and he fetched a towel for Sierra and threw it on her lap, "Fanny has gone down the mountain, and I think the Earl of Lizzie's car will come to pick you up tomorrow at the latest, and you can't have any more accidents." ”

"Alright then, I'll wait here for you to come back safely." Serra nodded, her face well-behaved.

The matter of integrating into the wolf clan cannot be rushed, and the establishment of emotional bonds must come gradually, and she has that patience.

Before leaving, Eric pointed in the direction of the restaurant, "I'll go find Germani when it's time for lunch." ”

"Got it."

Watching his back disappear as several naked, muscular men rushed into the bushes, Serra wiped her feet and put on her slippers as she swayed around the camp.

In the open space behind a wooden house, a rope is tied between two cedar trees, and a woman with two braided strands is drying the dress that Sera has changed.

She had also washed her clothes, and Serra walked over and said gratefully, "What can I help with?" ”

Germani turned and glanced at her hopelessly, "Drying clothes?" ”

"Okay."

Serra agreed, put aside the blanket on her body, rolled up her sleeves and bent down to pick up a pair of men's trousers and hang them on the clothesline.

Her swift movements surprised Germani, "You still work?" ”

Knowing that this was a bit abrupt, Gemani quickly shut up.

Serra winked at her, "I'm able-bodied, so of course I can work." ”

Most people's stereotypical image of the female aristocracy is to take care of the family and manage all kinds of social interactions, which is nice to say, but these 'care' and 'socialization' are all maintained by servants, and the noblewomen usually only move their mouths and dance.

And this so-called aristocratic life, there are many middle-class people or wealthy businessmen who are vying to spend money to emulate.

"You look better than your noble sister." Germani's tone was much better for her.

Serra pursed her lips and smiled, "I haven't officially met her yet, but Eric says she's a nice person, and I trust his vision." ”

"Eric?" Germani pouted, unfolded a men's shirt in her hand and shook it vigorously, "He's an idiot, the townspeople say he wants to eat swan meat." ”

Serra retracted her smile, "He likes Annahi?" ”

"He went to the manor of the Count of Lizzie every once in a while to deliver game, and he chatted with the young lady across the fence without knowing how many times he was driven away."

Serra lost her smile completely, "Is that so?" ”

"No, he's a big idiot." Germani continued to scold him.

Serra hung her clothes on a clothesline, patted them with her hand, and then turned her head and whispered, "If Annahi liked Eric too, she wouldn't just talk to him through the fence, she cares a lot about being talked about with a hunter." ”

After listening to what she said, it was almost as if she had found a like-minded friend, she walked over and hooked her shoulder, "It's just that he doesn't understand the truth that even you understand." ”

She had probably figured out how to separate herself from Annahi.

Serra smiled softly and said something fragrant, "But Eric and I have become friends, and Annahi is my nominal sister, and I respect their respective choices. ”

In the evening, Eric and his people returned.

They hunted several deer, a bear, and several live furry hares.

As Serra and Germani huddled in the kitchen and chatted with a few women, it was Eric who walked into the dining room with two rabbit ears in one hand and kicked the door to get the attention of the women.

"Rabbit?" Serra's eyes lit up, and she ran up to him and reached out to touch the hare's limp body.

Eric subconsciously thought that she liked the cute furry little animals as much as Annahi, so he took one out of his hand and put it in her arms, "Here you go." ”

"Can I eat spicy rabbit head?" Sierra held up the rabbit in her hand and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
