“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…- 265.7 K • Completed
“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…- 265.7 K • Completed
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…- 265.7 K • Completed
“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…- 265.7 K • Completed
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…- 265.7 K • Completed
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…- 265.7 K • Completed
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…- 265.7 K • Completed
“…It seemed like you knew that beast.” “Something like that.” Lebel spoke while he looked at the beast. “You won’t say anything?” “Woof!” Yutis briefly glanced back and forth between the two, his expression wavering, then quietly stepped back. As he stepped back, the demon suddenly stood up and stuck its tongue out at Lebel. “You lost. So you’ll withdraw. This land is mine.” Karon’s voice trembled between a growl and a sob. He was a demon. Losing…- 265.7 K • Completed
“…It doesn’t seem like they came to the village because of hunger?” “Do you have time to talk so calmly? You should go to the Young Master right now!” “Young Madam should stay by my side.” Everyone except Bron, who called himself Lebel’s escort knight, ran toward Yutis. “They say you’re Yutis’s right hand, yet you don’t go to him?” “Because I’m his right hand, I protect Young Madam. Young Master Yutis has Theo, so he’ll be fine. And I’m a mage. I can…- 265.7 K • Completed
“It’s not dangerous, but the child is scared, so stop glaring at it.” “It is dangerous! What if you fall? If you want to ride a beast, you could’ve just told me!” “Father said that a northerner must learn to tame beasts.” Yutis turned to glare at Damian. “I never told him to ride it!” Damian shouted as if he could not believe it. Lebel sighed. It seemed he had misspoken. It seemed like they were about to fight, so he changed the topic. “I’ll show you. I’m not…- 265.7 K • Completed
