Currently, we were all in a receiving room within the estate where one would receive guests. And besides myself, Sei, Sophie, Adel, Lance, Jeeves, and King Gravos, there were about ten knights of the Magic Knight division and the stupid cat and his guard, the rabbit girl whose name seems to be Sally. The Knights surrounded the two beastkin due to them being held under arrest at the present moment.

I watched as the King crossed his arms across his chest and stared at the stupid cat. “Now…. Prince Rythilin, explain to me. Why did you try to break into Faith’s new home and, on top of that, bring with you a sleeping sedative that would knock anyone out for ten hours?”

“I said this before Your Majesty, but the sleeping sedative is mine. I use it a lot since I have a hard tim….”-.

<strong>*Bam!*</strong>

“Do you take me for a damn fool!? Do you think I do not know the movements of other kingdoms!? Do you not remember that you already failed to trick poor Faith into dating you!? Word travels fast! Word of Faith’s prowess has spread far and wide. Many want to throw a damn collar around her neck and control her like a puppet. While others wish to marry her to their kin. I myself am also guilty of this! But I will never force Faith to do something she doesn’t want. You tried to break into her house and were ready to put her to sleep so you can do what? Cook the rice and take her back as your wife!?” I blushed, hearing the King’s words. I mean, while it was not a saying known around the world back on Earth unless you were from an asian country, the saying cook the rice was something one would learn from reading certain novels as it meant to take someone’s virginity.

“That….” The stupid cat tried to speak up for himself but quickly slumped his head low. I really wished to hit him again. Just seeing his actions now was the same as saying he was guilty. Since he was caught red handed, I guess he had no way of saving himself. My disgust for this stupid cat has grown so much that I really wish to just kill him. While the rules of adulthood were different on this world and age varied between kingdoms, the fact of the matter was that he planned to do something so sinister in the first place. I feel like I am going to puke….

“You will be held prisoner until your father comes here personally to pick you up. Your attendant will also be arrested, and the two of you will be separated for the time being.” The King gave his final order. “You better hope that your father is willing to take the time out of his busy schedule to come here. Otherwise, you will be stuck in prison until the day you die. I will say this now. Faith is like a daughter to me now, and I will not allow anyone to do anything that would cause her harm.

“While your plan failed, the fact of the matter is that you still attempted to do something so sickening! Faith is still a few years away from being of age, not to mention she looked younger than she is, but yet you…..” The King’s face turned red as she clenched his fist, “Take this little bastard away before I beat him myself! Make sure his attendant is put in another prison for those with strong powers. She and him are not to communicate at all, so make sure you strip the little bastard and check him for any magic communication tools.”

I was truly touched by the King’s words just now. Whether he said it on the spur of the moment or not, either way his words touched me. I wonder, if I called him papa, would he suddenly freak out? I better not. I could lose my head if I joked at a time like this.

“Royal Father, I would like to kick the trash over there at least one more time before he is tossed in a cell.” Ah, Adel, the face you are making, and the royal way of speaking do not match. Please stop trying to kill the stupid cat with your eyes. You use a knife, the knights all seem to be carrying one. Okay, no, I would never tell her such things, but a girl can dream, right?

“Make it quick.” I almost choked. Umm, Your Majesty, I know you are mad but wouldn’t this make things harder when the stupid cat’s father shows up? Not that I was one to talk now that I am thinking about it. I mean, I am the reason his nose is broken and probably why he is holding his sides. But I still held back my strength enough to not make his head explode! I am quite proud of myself.

“Ouch! Wait, you only said once!” The stupid cat yelled out. Well, I guess being punched in the stomach does not count as a kick, so she is safe!

“Humph! You make demi humans look bad. I hope you are stuck in prison until your hair turns gray!” Adel yelled in anger. Lance stood up and pulled her away. But he did not say anything, only glared daggers at the stupid cat while trying to calm Adel down.

The entire time Sally kept her head low, her ears flopped down, not daring to say anything. She shook like a leaf, though. Now that I think about it…. “Your Majesty, what will happen to Sally?”

“Her? She will probably be deported back to her kingdom to deal with. Although I can not count on her not being punished.” The King replied. His answer made me frown.

“Then…. Can she make a magical contract with me and become my guard instead? Someone as talented as her should not be tossed away. In the first place, she was only following orders, right? If she is forced to do something even if she does not wish to, I think it could stand to say that she is an innocent bystander who was forced into the sinister plot of the stupid cat.” I was having trouble trying to explain myself, but I do know that for a talent like Sally, it would be best to keep her and put her to work where she can make use of her talents.
