Finished

When they finished eating all the thicken, the potatoes had cooled to a warm, safe temperature.

Rosalie picked up a potato that was still slightly hot. She peeled away the blackened skin, revealing the golden flesh inside.

She broke off a piece and handed it to Leon. He lowered his head and took a bite.

The potato was soft and fluffy, with a light smoky smell from the fire. Even without any seasoning, it tasted good.

Since Leon had been fed, Cameron slid closer to Rosalie and said in a spoiled tone, “Matriarch, I want to be fed too.”

“Ah-” He opened his mouth wide. Rosalie laughed and peeled another potato for him.

Then she noticed Gael and Reid staring at her eagerly. She peeled one for each of them as well.

Only then were the two satisfied, holding their steaming potatoes and eating happily.

Rosalie picked up an egg. The dried mud baked onto the shell cracked easily when she tapped it, falling apart on the ground.

She peeled the shell away, revealing a smooth, round egg. She stood up and stretched her legs, which had gone numb from sitting too long.

The next second, the egg in her hand vanished.

Bert had swallowed it in one bite.

Rosalie froze in shock. That beastman had eaten her egg.

And he had taken it away from her hand.

That was extremely rude.

Bang!

Leon’s fist shot toward Bert with sharp force. Bert laughed and dodged easily. “Hey, don’t be mad,” he said lightly.

“It’s just an egg. I’ll pay you back.”

As he spoke, his eyes dropped to Rosalie’s slightly rounded belly,

The interest in his gaze deepened. At that moment, Rosalie was certain, Bert and his group were definitely not good people.

Her voice turned cold. She didn’t even look at him.

“We’re leaving.”

If they couldn’t fight him, they could at least avoid him.

They packed their things quickly and continued toward Vaford.

Bert bent down, picked up another egg from the ground, and peeled away the burned shell.

Finished

The egg inside looked clean. He swallowed it in one bite, his eyes fixed on the direction Rosalie had gone.

By afternoon, the sun was brighter, and the wind and snow had eased.

The group pushed themselves to move faster. They wanted to get home sooner, and they also wanted to shake off Bert’s group.

They kept walking until night fell. The temperature dropped sharply, and they could go no farther.

Gael found a small cave on a distant hillside. It wasn’t big, but it could block the wind and snow.

The cave was well hidden. Gael had only found it because he slipped and nearly fell.

Inside the cave, after being blasted by wind all day, Rosalie’s ears felt swollen and sore.

Cameron went out to gather firewood and soon lit a small campfire inside. The firelight filled the narrow cave and warmed their frozen hands and feet.

They laid animal hides on the ground. Rosalie was wrapped up tightly first.

Leon and the others stayed in their clothes. With the fire, they could sleep through the night without trouble.

Just as everyone was drifting off, someone gently shook Rosalie.

She opened her eyes and saw Reid’s tense face.

“Rosalie,” he whispered, “I heard footsteps. Someone’s coming.”

Rosalie listened carefully. She heard nothing but the howling wind and falling snow.

But Reid looked truly anxious. He wasn’t pretending.

She got up and woke Leon and the others.

They grabbed their bags and quietly moved to a hiding spot not far from the cave.
