Her action completely terrified Edward, who was behind her. He quickly grabbed the cloak that hadn't yet hit the ground and, just as Mengdie was about to grasp the hem of her dress, he draped the cloak back over her. After this action, he was breathing heavily with nerves. Mengdie, whose attempt to undress was again thwarted, seemed a bit unhappy.

"Hey, what do you mean by this? Why... ugh... why won't you let me sleep?!"

"Mengdie... Miss! As a woman, it's not proper for you to sleep in a men's tent. The women's tent is over there, over there!" As Mengdie's voice gradually rose, it made Edward also tense up and raise his voice. But to his surprise, his good intentions were once again trampled upon by this girl! That roll of her eyes said it all.

"Hmph, I've already been living with girls for over two months! Just when I finally get the chance to enjoy sleeping with men, why do you have to interfere? Are you happy when I sleep with women?! Is that fun for you? A fan of yuri!"

Edward, of course, didn't understand the last term "yuri." But it didn't matter because he was certain of one thing.

"Miss Mengdie, you're drunk."

"Hmm, I am a bit drunk. But not so much that I can't tell my own gender."

There's a saying that a drunk person never admits they're drunk. And those who admit they're drunk are mostly not. But Mengdie's current situation really confused Edward. To say she wasn't drunk – she couldn't even distinguish her own gender. To say she was drunk – she still knew this was a men's tent and could discern things? What kind of problem was this?

Seeing the strange looks from the surrounding mercenaries, Edward made a bold statement: "Then... I understand! You're not drunk! Since you refuse to stay in the women's tent, may I invite you to sleep in my tent?"

This statement caused an uproar! The mercenaries began whispering among themselves, their respectful gazes towards Edward now mixed with ridicule and disdain. The silent Dubo standing beside him also changed his expression, stepping forward to quietly say, "Young master, this..."

"It's okay, I know my limits. ...What do you say? Mengdie, would you do me the honor?"

Mengdie scratched her head, her gaze slowly sweeping across the inside of the tent: "Sleeping just with you? Hmm... no problem, I guess..."

"Alright! I'm begging you! Miss Mengdie, would you do me the honor?!" Edward pleaded eagerly, almost desperately.

Mengdie sighed, feeling uncomfortable and just wanting to fall asleep. It didn't matter with whom, as long as it wasn't with women. She had no objections.

"Fine, fine, I'll sleep in your tent."

After agreeing, Mengdie turned and lifted the tent flap, striding towards the largest tent located between the men's and women's tents. Edward, nearly breathless with anxiety, followed her out.

Inside the men's tent, a loud noise erupted.

"The scoundrel! Using such despicable means to coerce Miss Mengdie!"

"Coerce? But from Miss Mengdie's tone, it seems like she couldn't resist his pleas?"

"Have you ever seen a girl sleep with someone just because they asked?"

"Right! It must be him using his status to force her secretly! Oh, my poor Miss Mengdie!"

"Crying, does it help? If there's anyone to blame, it's our bad luck for not having a noble status like his. Is there any woman within the kingdom's borders he can't have if he wants? Like that Dika..."

"Shush! Better not mention that name. Ahem... such a good girl... just to become a plaything for that family... ahem... ahem..."

Of course, Mengdie couldn't hear the conversations inside the men's tent. Staggering towards the main tent, she was about to enter when her discomfort struck again, more urgently this time!

Mengdie's face turned pale, and she turned back to look at Edward: "Hey, you've peed before, right?"

Edward was taken aback, his handsome face showing embarrassment.

Mengdie ignored his embarrassment, stepped forward, grabbed his clothes, and dragged him towards the small woods outside the camp: "Where do you guys pee? Take me there. If you haven't, then let's go together."

Edward suddenly pulled his hand away, retreating three steps! Dubo, standing by, turned ashen and stepped forward to whisper in Edward's ear: "Young master, this girl is beautiful... but there seems to be something wrong with her mind... For your dignity, maybe..."

"It's fine, I know what I'm doing."

Edward steadied himself and looked around. He then called over a female mercenary and politely asked her to take Mengdie to relieve herself. The female mercenary, initially tense in front of Edward, relaxed after seeing his polite demeanor and good looks, blushing as she nodded, leading Mengdie towards the left side of the woods.

Mengdie glanced back at Edward and snorted: "Weirdo."

A few minutes later, Mengdie returned, staggering back. Unlike her departure, Mengdie was in front, and the female mercenary followed behind, returning to the camp. Back at the main tent, the female mercenary whispered something to Dubo, who's expression changed. He then whispered something to Edward, who also looked disturbed. But Mengdie didn't care about this; it was late and time to sleep.

"Hmm, nicely set up. It seems wherever you go, these silver moon badges are everywhere."

The main tent only had a single bedsheet. Although not as large as the shared tents, it was quite spacious for one person. There wasn't much decoration in the tent, but Edward's armor and sword were neatly placed in one corner, their silver moon badges reflecting off the tent's fabric. An oil lamp hung in the center of the tent, brightly illuminating the space.

Mengdie nodded her approval. She walked over to the bed and frowned slightly. Seeing her expression, Edward quickly said, "Don't worry! I... I'll sleep outside tonight!"
