As soon as the butler finished speaking, several peopleâs expressions stiffened, and Seraphine quickly stepped in to try and diffuse the tension.
âThatâs quite a frightening thing to say. Surely itâs just a joke, right?â
âNo, I think he means it. I heard a similar warning when I visited here with Cerista before enrolling in the Academy.â
âW-what?â
âThatâs why I had no choice but to share a bed with Cerista back then. Of course, we really did just sleep, nothing else.â
âT-that happenedâ¦? I-I seeâ¦.â@@novelbin@@
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Seraphine and Silenaâs faces turned noticeably colder at the Heroâs sudden confession.
Just as the atmosphere was about to turn awkward, Ethan cautiously added to the Heroâs explanation.
âThe Hero is correct. The northern territories have many rough individuals. Even though this is a branch family of the Blackwood House, the temperament of its people is entirely different. Itâs best to heed the advice.â
ââ¦Hah, fine. If both the Hero and Lord Blackwood say so, it must be true. In that case, weâll need to allocate the four rooms.â
In reality, there wasnât much to allocate. On the journey here, there were already two groups that had shared mixed-gender tents.
The largest room would naturally go to the Hero and the heroines. Of the remaining three, one would go to Ethan and me.
