“Uwaa….”

 

It was said that there was an answer in the book, but the answer seemed to have been erased with a hand.
Alexa dragged Ysildus and Terrun into an unknown fate.
It was really dark in front of her. 

 

‘No.
If I stay alert, I can survive even when I am caught by a tiger*.’ 

 

(T/N: There’s always a way out if you keep your head on straight.)

 

This is a wolf’s den, so isn’t it in a way similar? Alexa quickly opened the book again. Let’s get a hold of ourselves and study.
He who works hard shines! 

 

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

 

At that time, there were also humans shivering in the wolf’s den.
It was the five knights from the Imperial family.
They were really feeling very well about what it was like to be tossed around these days.
Living after coming to Thersion didn’t seem like living at all. 

 

The Thersion knights showed them what it was like for a cat to roll a mouse on its front paws.
The Thersion knights said that they wouldn’t discriminate against the five knights.
For this reason, the five knights took the same intense training they were having. 

 

No matter how much they tried, they could never catch up with the Thersion knights.
The five knights followed their training and then dropped dead halfway.
Then they laughed at them, saying what they could learn with such skills.
That was very sad, but these days, for some reason, they could hear wolf cries every day. 

 

“Those monsters.
Are they raising wolves?” 

 

“I don’t know.
It wouldn’t be weird if they are.” 

 

“We have to run away from here.
We could really die.” 

 

“What on earth did the Emperor send us to dig here for?” 

 

They couldn’t even put their hands inside the Grand Duke’s castle.
The areas where the knights train and the areas where people of the castle were active were clearly separated.
As a result, they had no idea what was going on inside. 

 

Moreover, whenever they were about to do something, the Thersion knights would chase after them and they always ended up out of breath.
Meanwhile, the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess, whom the Emperor said he would kill, returned alive. 

 

“I want to know how things are going.” 

 

The five knights sighed deeply.
All they can think about is that the Emperor sent them here to die. 

 

“Hey, you there.
Why don’t you train instead of eating like that?” 

 

“Pardon?! Yes!!”

 

Don’t these monsters never get tired? The five knights let out a long sigh.
First of all, regardless of their escape, it seems like they will be tossed around today as well. 

 

(T/N: All I can say is you (half-half) deserve it.
Don’t think you can fool those wolves hahaha)

 

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

 

The Head Maid took care of Alexa’s request and opened the door to the sunroom where the children usually spend their time. 

 

The Grand Duke’s Castle was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere, probably because the wolf’s cries were constantly heard from everywhere.
Wolves entering the special period were running around like a horse without reins. 

 

They were told to be careful so as not to surprise the weak Alexa, but everything fell apart as soon as the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess returned.
So she was taking care of her more these days, apart from the indifferent Terrun by nature, and the beast Ysildus, who knew nothing. 

 

The Head Maid went inside with a basket filled with cotton, cloth and needles. 

 

“Alexa?”

 

“Ah! I’m here!”

 

Alexa jumped down from the sofa.
She must have been curled up in the sun and sleeping like a cat. 

 

Following Alexa, Ysildus and Terrun also raised their heads.
They looked disheveled as if they had just woken up. 

 

“Cuties.
Now, bring those here, Alexa.” 

 

“Ah!”

 

Alexa thanked the Head Maid as she put the basket down and took a seat.
She plans to make a design she was thinking of.
She heard that nosework is good to develop dog independence.
In fact, she felt that Ysildus had become more and more dependent on Alexa.
So she decided to try nose work to play with himself. 

 

The hottest topic before Alexa entered the novel was ‘carrot field.’ The carrot was on a carrot field made of stuffed dolls, and it was a toy to play with the carrots.
She thought it would be perfect for Ysildus, who especially likes stuffed dolls.
The problem is that her sewing skills couldn’t keep up with her idea. 

 

(T/N: Nosework is a dog sport created to mimic professional detection dog tasks.
One dog and one handler form a team.
The dogs must find a hidden target odor, often ignoring distractors, and alert the handler.
After the dog finds the odor, they are rewarded with food or a toy.
[Wikipedia])

 

“What are you planning to make?” 

 

“That is….”

 

Alexa drew and explained it to the Head Maid. 

 

“Ah.
But it seems difficult to make this by yourself.” 

 

“As expected… I think my sewing skills would be enough.” 

 

“No.
It’s not like that, Alexa.
You are doing very, very well for a child your age.
You’re also cute and lovely.” 

 

In this situation, she had no idea how those descriptions the people inside the Grand Duchy added in their sentence correlates with the topic.
Every time the Grand Duchy’s people talk to her, they always add that description.
Though it was different from each person, they generally use similar descriptions. 

 

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t sew.
Alexa only has to do what she is good at.
What I mean is, things you wanted to do.” 

 

Learning what Alexa wanted to do, the Head Maid retrieved the sewing basket.
It was cute of her to grumble on how she wants to make that, but she couldn’t watch it as Alexa’s fingers are pierced.
Considering the fact that she had poked herself on her ten fingers when she was making the stuffed doll before…. 

 

“Is that so?”

 

She obviously practiced sewing countless times to practice surgery, but her ability seemed to have deteriorated since she came here. 

 

Alexa spread out ten fingers. Oh well, it was no wonder that my hands were stiff because this body is different. Alexa agreed.
She should practice sewing in order to perform open surgery in the future, but the carrot field was too difficult. 

 

Alexa said patiently, “Then I should make a stuffed doll.
I have to practice everything to improve,” she said maturely. 

 

“What are you planning to make this time?”

 

“Um… it’s a secret.”

 

Alexa smiled brightly.
With that smile, the Head Maid went back with the sewing basket.
Terrun and Ysildus who were watching him, blinked and fell back to sleep.
Even if they had slept all day, their eyes were still sleepy.
They were like a baby wolf. 

 

The Head Maid half-closed the curtains.
The weather is still cold, but the sun was hot during the day.
Alexa liked warm places because of her low body temperature, but her skin would dry out if she was exposed too much under the sun.
Though it has nothing to do with the wolves slouching over there. 

 

The Head Maid left the room after taking care of Alexa. Phew, when will Alexa be able to run around as much as she wants? Alexa was told that it would be healthier for her to take a walk around. 

 

The Head Maid clicked her tongue and closed the door tightly.
So that they wouldn’t hear the sound of wolf cries outside. 

 

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

 

As Carlisle had declared, ten knights remained in the capital.
They were walking around openly showing Thersion’s crest. 

 

The Emperor smashed his desk. 

 

“Those dogs! How dare they run their nose around here!?” 

 

The Emperor’s lips trembled. 

 

“They still haven’t found Duke Duffle’s minions!?” 

 

“Every day is a bloodbath for the nobility, Your Majesty! Tepephia River’s water are still flowing red.” 

 

“Those d**ned people.” 

 

The vicious Thersion were working very diligently as if the leash around their collar was gradually tightening.
Then as if there was no escape for the people who ran away, they would suppress and kill them one by one. 

 

He was well aware of Thersion’s viciousness, but this was the first time they were openly showing it.
Somehow, the Emperor could feel that their murderous intent was directed to him. 

 

‘Those d**ned who doesn’t know their places….’ 

 

It was a secret known only to the Emperor that Thersion had the blood of the wolf god, the continent’s god.
If the temples and the ignorant people, they may cause an uproar to change the Emperor without knowing their true nature. 

 

The God who founded the continent wasn’t as merciful as it was depicted in history.
They were brutal, and that was why they were able to drive out the humans and animals that occupied this land and build an empire. 

 

The wolf god would rather roam the battlefield than play politics.
So instead of sitting in the North and joining with Thersion, he entrusted the throne to his most outstanding subordinate, Temperchi.
It was also the beginning of the Temperchi Empire. 

 

In the distorted history, Temperchi was portrayed as a hero who commanded the wolves, but he was merely an empty grain dragged around by the wolves by his neck.
The Imperial Family’s deep-rooted sense of inferiority started from that time – from the beginning of this empire the wolf god’s breath touched this land! 

 

He was planning to exterminate the wolves of the Thersion and annihilate them all.
It was safe to say that the current Emperor became an emperor for that sole purpose.
However – he rather gave the wolves an excuse not to.
It was because of the d**ned traitors who sold the country as Duke Duffle leading them.
