“You’ve worked hard, Jane. Get some rest.” Zela, who had brought Dietrich, spoke to Jane. Since Asheradren was also present, Jane silently bowed her head and quietly left the room. Having finished preparing, we boarded the royal carriage and headed to the Raost mansion. How long had it been since I last visited? Returning as a guest felt strangely unsettling. The Raost Marquisate was one of the largest mansions in the imperial city, second only to the Imperial Palace. As soon as we…- 160.5 K • Completed
"But shouldn't you two start getting ready? The young lady I used to work for would start preparing first thing in the morning." "Right. No time to relax. We need Madam Rubia's help!" At Zela’s call, Jane placed the last toy in the box, then stood, brushing off her skirt. "I should probably go. I don't want to be in the way." "What are you talking about? You can watch the prince while Daphne gets ready." "…Really?" Jane sat back down next to Dietrich, who…- 160.5 K • Completed
- Several uneventful weeks passed. As I'd hoped, Asheradren and Dietrich hadn't grown any closer. To be precise, Dietrich's tail practically wagged with excitement whenever he saw his brother, but Asheradren still flinched and shied away. Still, the fact we weren't fighting over the poor prince was a huge improvement. For a while, I enjoyed some genuinely pleasant days with Zela, Jane, and Dietrich. Then, one afternoon, as I was playing with Dietrich while he enjoyed a sweet dessert,…

- Asheradren sighed dramatically. Then, with an air of extreme reluctance, he bent down and grabbed Dietrich by the scruff of his neck. He held him delicately, using only his thumb and forefinger, as if he didn't want to touch him, but the golden puppy just panted and grinned. “This little… Ha.” Asheradren ran a hand over his face in disbelief. “He seems to think I’m his father.” “What? Why? Because you’re both puppies?” “…Don’t ask so innocently.” He looked…

- “Oh my goodness, he’s so tiny! Ash, look at the prince!” “….” The golden puppy wriggled in my arms, desperate to burrow closer. I stroked his soft fur repeatedly, glancing at Asheradren. His usual sharp gaze was gone, replaced by a bewildered expression as he blinked in surprise. ‘What must he be thinking?’ Perhaps he felt a sense of kinship with Dietrich, realizing they shared this unique ability. “Even Ash wasn’t this small… Isn’t he the size of a…

- His low voice was still laced with playfulness. He didn't completely ignore my request, though. A fragrant bar of soap appeared in my outstretched hand. I lathered up, trying to ignore Asheradren's large body pressed against mine. “Here, let's wash your face.” “What are you… hey!” I reached back with my soapy hand and swiped it across Asheradren's face. Since we were both facing the same direction, I couldn't tell if I'd aimed correctly. Something soft brushed against my hand—was…

- It was Cecil who finally managed to smooth things over. Honestly, I hadn't been inclined to help, simply observing Asheradren's rampage from start to finish. The women, their clothes and fans ripped, retreated tearfully, muttering curses about their disappointment in Cecil and how they couldn't bear the sight of him. “What are you going to do? Your popularity will plummet.” “Daphne, please speak without laughing.” “Oh, sorry.” Cecil himself couldn't stop laughing…

- After my romp with Asheradren, my shoes and dress were a complete mess. I could feel grit between my teeth when I moved my lips. My vision seemed blurry, so I wiped my eyes. Suddenly, Asheradren placed his front paws on my skirt. “Then hold me.” “…Shouldn’t you be turning back into a human by now?” “Don’t you want to?” His slightly drooping violet eyes evoked an inexplicable sympathy. He deliberately whined and circled me pathetically. At this point, I couldn't tell if…

- The knights fled the training grounds as if escaping. It wouldn't be wrong to say that only Cecil and I remained in this vast space. I wouldn't include Asheradren, since he wasn't exactly human at the moment. Anyway, this large creature, eyes narrowed in contentment from my touch, showed no sign of moving anytime soon. Perhaps it was a silent plea for more petting. “Your fur smells dusty.” “Shall I wash up? I have been in the training grounds for a while.” “Later. We…

- However, a single swipe of Asheradren’s paw sent three knights tumbling to the ground. 'They look like toy soldiers Dietrich plays with.' As I shifted my gaze back to Asheradren, his sharp violet eyes were already fixed on me. “…I heard you two had a fight.” “Yes, we did.” Even though I couldn't read a wolf's expression, I knew he was still angry with me. Asheradren stared at me as if I were an object. “But for that, it seems a bit too…” Cecil quickly…
