Well, the food didn't taste nearly as good without someone around to annoy, so Eric eventually abandoned his half-eaten bowl of porridge and decided to go for a walk. The moment he stepped outside, several servant girls hurried after him, trailing behind him in a neat single-file line.
Eric glanced back over his shoulder.
The moment he stopped, they stopped too, keeping a respectful distance of about ten feet.
Eric blinked.
Then, with a playful glint in his eyes, he took one step forward.
The servants took one step forward as well.
He took another.
They followed again.
Eric couldn't help but grin.
That was actually rather funny. He had never had people following him around like this before. It was a little unnerving, but at the same time, there was something oddly entertaining about it. He wondered how long they would continue following him if he kept wandering around.
