“How could a cracked vessel be fine? The physician believed that Lord Lebel’s condition had improved, but do you know he now thinks his judgment was wrong because of this incident?” “Ah, I know. Because of that, the dosage of the medicine increased… I told him there was no need for that.” Not long ago, he had said they could start reducing the medicine, yet it increased again. “Lord Lebel.” Lebel looked at Karon and Illa’s faces that showed concern toward him, and he…-

“I think it’s ordinary.” Apparently, even that had gone far beyond what humans could call ordinary. “Was that friend of yours a great mage? Is that why he knew so much about beasts?” When questioned about the source of his knowledge of beasts, Lebel recalled the excuse he had once given to Mahan. He had said he learned it from a friend, thinking of Karon at the time. It was true that Karon had told him about beasts, but strictly speaking that wasn’t magic. From the beginning, Lebel…-

“Young Madam, I heard Karon released lightning toward the knights!” “He did.” “I’ve never heard that a Morbelk can use lightning. It’s likely this one is an unusual specimen. So may I take a small amount of Karon’s fur, just a little, to study?” Jess took nail clippers and scissors from his coat. Lebel didn’t know what he intended to study with the fur and claws, but since he wanted it so much, Lebel nodded casually. “Fur and claws grow back, so it doesn’t…-

“You’re quite skilled.” Iol was surprised as he looked at Lebel smoothly handling paperwork. “It isn’t that difficult.” Managing a territory wasn’t much different from what he did in the Demon Realm. Lebel had worked hard to oversee the lives of the demons living in his domain. The largest part of that duty had been paperwork. The way to handle documents was similar in both the Demon Realm and the human world. Of course, that had been hundreds of years ago. Once he learned…-

“The wedding, and how you two couldn’t even spend your first night as a married couple, always bothered me. But this worked out well in the end. You two are newlyweds after all.” “But Father, going alone…” “Now, are you looking down on your father? This is the duty of the head of the house. Yutis, you’ve done enough work, so think of this as a short rest.” He had watched his beloved son suffer every time his own bloodline turned him into a monster. So now, seeing Yutis happy…-

But the moment Edmund opened his mouth, Lebel’s anticipation vanished like air escaping from a punctured pipe. “The demonic beasts that invaded the territory last time, and the report says that quite a few beasts have woken early from hibernation.” “Does that mean they have already started to move actively?” Yutis asked with a serious face that showed surprise, and Edmund nodded as he spoke. “It’s an anomaly. The beasts that appeared in our territory and others seem to have…-

“How did they even find that out?” “There was the barony where you went to subjugate the beasts. It seems they realized you returned to the northern castle quickly because of the rut.” “…Is there talk spreading about his ability too?” That was the bigger problem. If they heard that the Foolish Prince had made the beasts submit, they would want to meet him even more to confirm whether it was true. “The rumor about the rut has only just started spreading. Considering how fast…-

When Lebel entered the room, Mahan was standing on the doorway, he was a mess. Karon’s claws had left marks on Mahan’s skin, and his clothes were torn. “I thought he look dirty, so I tried to wash him…. I’m sorry.” Mahan said. “I will finish. Hand me a towel.” Lebel said. Mahan handed a towel. Lebel closed the door, he sat down and he set Karon on his knees, and dried the fur. Karon purred with an expression he never showed to Mahan or other servants and he accepted…-

Lebel had thought the same thing once before. But the taste had improved far more than at first. If he said that, Karon would only get angrier. He even lectured that poisoning was common among humans and that Lebel must stay alert. Even after days of tasting food first and confirming it was safe, Karon still sampled every meal before Lebel ate. Hmm, come to think of it, maybe the food Yutis had given him had ended up with Karon instead. “Karon, you have to live a long life with…-

The people of the northern castle were surprised when they saw Lebel appear with a young beast, and after hearing from the knights about his deeds, they were left speechless. Leaving the dazed onlookers behind, Lebel returned to his room with Karon. Yutis, who had returned to the castle with Lebel, seemed to intend only to see him off, and he went back to the village again. Because houses had collapsed from the aftermath of the battle, he said he needed to investigate the damage and arrange…-
