FVN Chapter 30
Chapter 30
“Hey, no chatting. If I catch you doing it again, you’ll be kicked out.”
Gulp.
The knights, not wanting to be thrown out after going through the trouble of visiting the little one, instinctively quieted down.
“These idiots...”
Howlf clicked his tongue at the knights who were acting overly excited, as though they were on a picnic.
He wanted to give them a good scolding all together, but he couldn’t do that in front of Elodie.
He narrowed his eyes and silently gave the knights a warning before getting to the point.
“The little one has something to say.”
Elodie, for some reason, was dressed in a uniform.
How could such a small uniform even exist?
Did she specifically order it? Why?
Was it because the uniform looked cool? Or did she just want to look cool?
This is insane...
“Ugh.”
The knights groaned, but they couldn’t bring themselves to say ‘that word’ in front of the child.
They must never say that she was cute in front of the baby, not when she was putting on such a stern face.
Elodie, sensing the knights’ discomfort, scanned their faces.
“Gentlemen.”
She then seriously began to speak the words she had prepared.
“I am thinking of forming a team and assigning a secret mission.”
“A secret mission!”
The knights were clearly impressed.
Wasn't their speech too smooth and lacking in experience?
The little one was only five!
They were amazed by her words, but also amused by her attempts to act grown-up, as if she had been chosen by the gods like Ratson.
The knights pinched their thighs to keep their faces from betraying their growing smiles.
“This mission will exclude the dog and the kitten.”
Murmurs of surprise.
While they tried to keep serious expressions, one of the knights from the Silver Order – a wolf, no less – suddenly raised his hand and asked a question.
“Why is that?”
“Because it’s still a bit off-putting.”
Murmurs grew louder!
Elodie, feeling the rising tension, added hastily.
“But it’s not scary, though.”@@@@
“They must be really scary,” the wolf knights muttered.
‘Oh, this isn’t working.’
Elodie pouted.
But, the truth was, they were a little less scary than the beasts, but Elodie had seen firsthand the terrifying violence and strength of the beastfolk, so she couldn’t say a word.
This cruel world of survival of the fittest.
The Holy Hammer didn’t work on the majority.
Princesses?
There were no princesses in the Silvaria Kingdom.
Could it be that he was calling the members of his order ‘princesses’?
Seeing Lord Leopard getting excited to score some points made Elodie uneasy.
“Princess? Where are the princesses?”
“Oh, it’s just a nickname I use for my lovers.”
“......”
Didn’t he just say "princesses"?
‘Does he have two lovers?’
Please, there’s no way there are more than that, right?
But, as always, ‘you never know’.
The door opened, and a group of golden-haired, strong, and seemingly beautiful lion beastfolk rushed into the training grounds.
Even someone like Elodie, who couldn’t always distinguish genders well, couldn’t help but realize.
The entire Golden Order was made up of women...
All of them were princesses...
‘Ten?’
Did he give them the nickname ‘princess’ because he couldn’t remember their real names?
Elodie glared at Leopard, just as she had with Howlf, with a look of disgust.
“Howfu! Howfu!”
He quickly scooped up the child calling for him desperately and hid her behind his back.
“I thought you’d at least try not to show your trashy side in front of the little one, but I guess if you’re human...”
He couldn’t resist showing his filthy side in front of the little one.
Howlf sighed deeply, closing his eyes in regret as if he had done something terrible.
“I apologize.”
Elodie, who had seen all kinds of things living as a rat, didn’t really care about people’s private lives or preferences.
But the type of person who could proudly walk around with multiple lovers without any shame was a rat poison.
From the way things looked, it seemed like a consensual relationship...
“Ugh.”
But how could she help feeling disgusted?
His smooth words and that sly face reminded her of the prince, making her feel even worse.
Elodie clung tightly to Howlf, ignoring Leopard’s wounded expression.
“Little one. It’s just a lion’s instinct. Nothing I can do...”
“Instinct?”
As he tried to make an excuse, the wolves, sensing an opportunity, began to pounce.
“Since you still have that instinct, why don’t you just eat your meat raw?”
“Shouldn’t you be walking on all fours instead?”
“Yeah, you’re pretending to be a person, but you have ten lovers! What’s up with that?”
“Go get your wildness back!”
The wolves teased Leopard’s selective instincts and started swinging the swords they had pulled out earlier.
It was clear they had been waiting for a chance to pounce, and they seemed ecstatic to finally have it.
