Gael stared at her openly, not bothering to hide it, and suddenly asked, “Matriarch, our bonding ceremony is in just a few days. Are you nervous?”

Rosalie gathered up the scattered herbs and replied, “A little. This is my first time holding a bonding ceremony.”

“Really!”

For some reason, Gael got inexplicably excited and grabbed Rosalie’s shoulders.

Rosalie wasn’t lying; in her last life, the apocalypse had hit before she’d even gotten around to falling in love.

And after crossing into the beast world, she’d suddenly found herself with five husbands under one roof already-there had never been anything like a proper wedding, so this bonding ceremony really was her first.

Rosalie rose to her feet, slipping out of his grasp, and asked softly, “Why were you willing to get hurt yesterday just to help me?”

Gael’s arms were wrapped up like a mummy, and his hands were bandaged thick as clubs; he looked a little foolish like that, but his eyes were absurdly bright.

“Obviously because I like you,

Matriarch.”

So, that was enough reason to slice open his own palms without blinking?

Rosalie only asked that in her heart; she didn’t dare say it out loud. The system was something she couldn’t mention.

Rosalie gave him a polite smile. She didn’t believe Gael’s feelings for her ran that deep; even

she still felt he was with her for some ulterior motive.

now,

Holding the herbs, Rosalie headed for the door, and just as she reached the threshold, Gael called after her from inside, “Matriarch, you’ll come to our bonding ceremony in three days, right?”

“I’ll be there.”

Leaving him with that clear answer, Rosalie stepped out the door.

The next three days flew by, and Rosalie didn’t see Gael again during that time.

On the first day, Rosalie went to visit Monica. Monica had already clawed her way back from

the brink of death, though her face was still pale; after drinking the chicken soup Rosalie had simmered for hours, the two of them chatted for a while.

When Rosalie mentioned the bonding ceremony a few days away, Monica’s eyes lit up; she patted her chest and promised Rosalie she’d definitely show up on time.

Rosalie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, nudging her back down onto the bed and telling her to go to sleep early instead.

On the second day, Rosalie had Leon make several stone rollers for grinding flour at home, then carted them into town and taught the beastmen at the rice shop how to grind grain into flour.

Once they’d gotten the hang of it, everyone spent half the day grinding, and by afternoon the rice shop had a brand-new product on the shelves: flour.

Thanks to the success of rice, many people bought flour too-but most of them had no idea what to do with it.

So, Rosalie set up a little stall at the rice shop entrance and did a live demo, kneading the white flour into a springy dough right in front of everyone.

After letting the dough rest, she showed them how it could be turned into flatbreads or pulled into noodles.

Someone tasted the noodles Rosalie made, then immediately bought a whole basket of flour to take home.

Even so, the process of working with flour was still too complicated for some beastmen, so overall, not many ended up buying it.

For the family that snapped up five baskets in one go, Rosalie sent Leon over with a stone roller as a bonus.

On the third day, Rosalie went to inspect the rice paddies and wheat fields; everything was running smoothly.

On her way back home, she ran into a crowd streaming into her courtyard, their arms full of all sorts of items.

She casually lifted one of the covers-inside were baskets of rice and cuts of wild boar.

Rosalie was a little confused. Micah stood off to the side, face cool, voice low.

“Matriarch, these are for the bonding ceremony-gifts from the husband’s side. You can accept them without worry.”

Rosalie finally understood-but even for marriage gifts, this was way too much!

Baskets of every size filled the entire yard, and the shabby front gate had been decorated with two huge red flowers, as if someone was terrified the whole world wouldn’t know there was a bonding ceremony here.

Rosalie touched the red-dyed cloth of the flowers; the fabric was rough, but in the beast world, it was already precious. It had to be something from Gael’s hometown-tomorrow she’d have to ask him carefully what else they had back there.

For several days in a row, Rosalie didn’t catch so much as a glimpse of Gael—not even when she made a special trip to the House of Delicacies-so she figured he was avoiding her on purpose.

That night, as Rosalie lay in bed, someone pushed the door open and lay down beside her.

Rosalie leaned into his chest and whispered, “Micah.”
