After Gordana and Pavel's future marriage was dissolved due to Lisa's sudden appearance, events took a completely unexpected turn. Lisa was nursed back to health in the boyar's house. At first, Lisa wanted to return to the forest because she was afraid of people's condemnation. But she gave the boyar a secret place in her forest where they agreed to meet so that he could bring her food and clean clothes. Under the pretext of hunting, the boyar often carried rich delicacies from his table to the forest...After several secret meetings with the boyar in the forest, Lisa became a regular guest at his court, and Pavel called her his forest sister.

"If I am not destined to marry now and I am branded with a bad omen because of you, let it be a fox's omen, my dear sister. Let's live together, helping each other with deeds and advice. You will look after the house in my absence, and I will grant you noble comfort in my home. Tell all your forest friends that from now on you are a boyar's sister and have authority over the boyar's court, and now you are under the protection of my word."

While the seamstresses were mending and washing the fox shirt, Pavel allowed Lisa to wear his cousin Nastasya's shirt. It fit her perfectly and went perfectly with her bright blue sundress. Lisa beamed with joy in the noble kitchen and among the white sheets, her cheeks flushed with life, and the fur glistened in the sun. It seemed that the bad omen had turned out to be a blessing for both of them. Now this “bad omen” had settled in the noble house. Her fairy tales were behind her, and a new life among people awaited her ahead...
