She’s words made Gilda blush again, but thetter felt a tiny little glimmer of happiness in her heart.


    Gilda had developed feelings for Severin and wanted to try dating him. Her father seemed to think


    highly of Severin, and that was likely the reason he asked her to join them and bring him a gift. It was a


    clear sign that her father supported the idea of her being with Severin. Gilda, however, had her


    concems. She was worried that Severin’s three wives might not like her, or worse, resent her and bar


    her from joining their group. Nheless, her fears were ayed after she sensed their receptivity


    toward her. None of them seemed to dislike her in any way, so she felt that there was a good chance


    for her to be weed into their circle.


    Severin then kindly cut anotherrge plece of barbecued meat and ced it on Gilda’s te. He smiled


    at her and said, “Have some more. Don’t mind She’s teasing She’s always like that.”


    “I don’t mind it at all.” Gilda nodded appreciatively and continued eating.


    She lifted her ss and encouraged everyone to have a good time. “Cheers, everyone! A good ss


    of wine is the perfectplement to a delicious meal of meat.”


    Gilda relished the atmosphere and joined in the toast, raising her small bottle of wine too. After


    everyone clinked their bottles, she took a hearty sip


    Meanwhile, Wuhlricht paced in the yard while waiting for Gilda’s return. He was worried that Gilda


    might return as soon as she handed Severin the gift. However, Gilda had not returned after an hour,


    and a little smile appeared on Wuhlricht’s face. She must have had plenty to talk about with Severin if


    they spent an hour with each other.


    Then, another hour passed. Wuhlricht’s smile soon turned into a frown. “Why is she taking so long? Are


    they having such a good time with each other?”


    Another hour went by before Gilda was spotted flying back from the mountain

    “What took you so long?” Wuhlicht approached her immediately. He noted the scent of alcohol on her


    and was concerned, as Gilda did not usually drink much. He was worried that she might not have fully


    healed from her previous rtionship with Frederick, and that she was merely putting on a forced smile


    for him all along. “Were you drinking? You don’t usually drink” Gilda exined, “You have no idea how


    delicious Severin’s barbecued meat is, Dad It’s amazing! They were having a barbecue when I arrived,


    so I joined them. The food was so irresistible that I couldn’t stop eating! We had a wonderful time, and I


    had some drinks with them. By the way, Severin said he’d be going alone to send the treasure home.


    Since I hadn’t left the sect for a long time, I decided to apany him for the short trip. He’lle pick


    me up tomorrow moming.


    Wahlricht was a little surprised to see such a genuine smile on Gilda’s face. It had been a long time


    since he saw such a bright


    smile.


    “Haha, that’s great! You should get some rest now then. I’ll have to try Severin’s barbecue one day to


    see what all the fuss is about,” Wuhlricht said with a smile.


    “You should definitely try it,” Gilda said. “You won’t want to miss out.”
