Chapter 1076

Maja was comfortably perched on a flat rock while lan went off in search of a mountain spring to clean the wild mushrooms he’d collected.

The moment he left, the other women shot Maja dirty looks.

“Why even bother to hike if you’re just going to be carried? Do you even know what hiking is? Every woman here is more accomplished and refined than you, yet you’re the one being carried by a man.”

Maja was still holding a wild apple, which lan had picked for her along the way. He had mentioned that the tree was known for its fruit–bearing. but one had to be lucky to taste its yield.

She tossed the apple in her hand, turning to the woman who had spoken out.
