"Yes. This castle has been the ancestral residence of Wolfdale's rulers. From now on, you can stay and bathe here as much as you like."
"Oh." Suddenly, Liz realized. Her wounds had healed quickly thanks to Gabriel's imprint. "Are the other maids also under a temporary imprint like me?"
Gabriel hesitated. "They... are different from you, Liz...,"
Liz laughed mockingly. "Well... you're different from the other girls." Liz imitated Gabriel's speech in a comical manner.
"Gabriel, I'm not foolish. Everyone knows you're the number one bachelor in Wolfdale. You date multiple girls without any objections from them."
Gabriel fell silent, weighing the decision to be honest. Finally, he chose to speak the truth, "No, Liz. They haven't experienced an imprint like yours. While we share a special connection, last night, fueled by anger and the desire to protect you, I performed a permanent imprint on you. It's something unprecedented."
