Chapter 25

He then ran towards Alexa and hugged her widely.

“Ugh! Uh, that’s too strong! Run slowly.”

Even so, Alexa hugged Ysildus tightly. She opened the book with Ysildus in her arms. She already memorized the contents of the book, but she wanted to check one last time.

[Judith – one of the medicines that induce vomiting. It is known to have the most pungent smell. People with a keen sense of smell cannot drink it, so don’t prescribe it to them.]

Alexa smiled brightly. It was because she realized that the black pill didn’t contain any Judith.

“It was because of the smell!”

In the case of the wolves who have a keen sense of smell, Judith wasn’t added in its preparation because they will avoid drinking it. Although the two medicines had similar efficacy, the one containing Judith was more effective, that’s why it has a pungent smell! She had solved her first homework perfectly. Alexa grabbed Ysildus and jumped around.

“Ysu! We made it! Yehey!”

I am very much looking forward to the class tomorrow.

The woman who took Selina’s hand headed towards the Grand Duke’s castle. The woman looked like a noble without her hood and wearing a dress. She still doesn’t know the woman’s name, but Selina was told what she had to do last night. She was also told to hold her breath until the woman contacted her.

Selina looked up at the Grand Duke’s castle with frightened eyes.

“I’m here to see Baron Visten.”

However, the woman relentlessly knocked on the door of the Grand Duke’s Castle.

“What business are you here?”

“Ah, I saw this child steal money from the children who live here yesterday. My cousin’s daughter was the one who did it… I am ashamed about it, but I am here to return it.”

Ah, then the knights opened the door for the butler whom they knew. It didn’t matter if it was about money, but there was no reason to send them back when they came to return it.

The woman slowly passed through the open door. She was still holding Selina’s hand. Trembling, Selina followed the woman. She kept her mouth shut as if it had glue on it.

“Hmm, is this the child?”

“Yes, I found her wandering in the streets after she lost her parents not too long ago.” The woman muttered with a pale face.

“Aha.”

The butler frowned in pity. The child that was accompanying the woman looked about 15 years old, so she would be about the same age as Alexa. The butler couldn’t help but feel soft towards girls around Alexa’s age, though all girls in other ages were also alright with him. Though the child in front of him was taller than Alexa.

“Oh… that’s unfortunate. I understand why this child stole the money. I won’t punish her if you return the money.”

“No!”

The woman waved her hands. She then bowed her head with a mournful face.

“Could you accept Selina as a maid here if possible? It will definitely be an opportunity to pay for her sins.”

“Yes?”

“Actually, our situation is not very good. However, I heard that Thersion Grand Duchy cares about the people in Thersion. She is Thersion’s child. This is a definite fact! So, if that is possible….  I also have to leave now to a faraway place.”

Tears welled up on the woman’s eyes. Her eyes exposed through her fingers glistened coldly. The butler didn’t notice that the woman opened her lips and whispered something in a very tiny voice. The butler’s sharp eyes became dull after.

“I have to go to the outskirts to pay off the debts of my family, but I can’t possibly take Selina in that kind of place.”

Her words seemed to have stimulated the butler’s pity. Selina had red hair like Alexa and she was also small, so he thought she could get along well with Alexa. She faintly smells like a wolf, but it wasn’t enough to bare his teeth.

‘It will be a good toy for Alexa.’

It is no exaggeration that the lives of the thieves who have been sold like Selina now belong to the Grand Duchy. The adult relative will no longer have any claim against Selina. We can use her as Alexa’s toy or kill her if there’s a problem with her. 

But still, he wanted Alexa to make good friends her age. The wolf children were too ferocious, and it was also possible to bring in any humans to Thersion….

‘This is a timely opportunity.’

The butler smiled happily. In the end, Selina was hired as a maid – and as a maid taking care of Alexa at that!

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

The Head Maid stared at Selina with a disapproving face. She naturally knew what the butler’s intentions were, but she wondered how to manage a stray cat. And what if this kid hurts Alexa? That is also a no-go. The butler told her to teach Selina well and take her as Alexa’s toy….

“Haa.”

The maid noticed the poison in Selina’s eyes.

“Hey kid.”

“Yes, Head Maid.”

“You have to open your eyes properly.”

The maid strongly gripped Selina’s chin. Even though she always takes care of the children with a smile and kindness, she was also a wolf – a strong wolf at that. She was one of the people who has been protecting the Grand Duke’s Castle for nearly a hundred years.

The Head Maid’s blue eyes shone. Selina swallowed her saliva, feeling the pressure that she would bite her neck at any moment.

“I, I…”

She lowered her eyes with trembling lips, but the hand holding her chin didn’t let go.

“Quiet. And if you stay still, you will be able to keep your life.” The Head Maid said begrudgingly. “But if you do any harm to Alexa…” the Head Maid looked gloomily at Selina, “You will die – certainly.”

Selina nodded her head quickly. Her jaw hurts and the force of the Head Maid’s pressure on her was terrifying. She was about to burst into tears. She was just doing what she was told to do, so why are you only blaming Selina like this? I don’t know who on earth was Alexa that everyone loves her – she’s nothing but a human! 

Isn’t Selina just a human who will die even if she uses little effort! I don’t know why those wolves were wrapped around that one human. Selina swallowed her anger. She didn’t even know that the Head Maid’s sigh was getting deeper.

‘I hope Alexa doesn’t get hurt.’

The Head Maid clicked her tongue as she looked down at Selina’s head.

Alexa waited for the class to start with excitement. Even though the promised time with Karrolf was at 3 in the afternoon, she was waiting for Karrolf while reading a book as soon as she had breakfast. The bored Terrun and Ysildus begged her to play, but she didn’t listen to them. So while Alexa read a book, the two of them played with each other on the rug and then fell asleep.

With his pink belly facing up, Ysildus pricked up his ears. It was because he heard a sound other than Alexa flipping the pages of her book and her breath coming closer. He jumped up and began to circle around Alexa as if he was guarding her.

“Huh? What’s the matter! Aww, our puppy, are you bored? Shall noona play with you for a while?”

“Arf!”

Ysildus quickly forgot what he had to do and ran towards Alexa. In her hand was his favorite doll. The excited Ysildus stood on two legs and tapped it with his front paws. He seemed anxious to get his favorite doll in his mouth right away.

Alexa lifted Ysildus before throwing the doll far away.

“Arf!”

He was so excited with that loud bark of him and the way he runs. Before she knew it. Ysildus had already put his favorite doll in his mouth and threw it in the air again, then rolled around the floor with it in his mouth. He was playing by himself, but it seemed like he was suddenly reminded of Alexa and ran to her….

“Ysu! You have to give that back to me so we can play. Where are you going?”

He hid behind Alexa. Alexa had no choice but to put her book down and turned to him. She then saw Ysildus sitting on the floor and looking at her with sparkling eyes.

“Oh, my puppy! Were you asking me to play?”

“Bang!”

He twitched his nose as if she was right. Alexa felt like her heart was being beaten with the front paws of the puppy tapping her with its front paws. That moment when Alexa picked up the doll again with a grin on her face,

“Miss Alexa, may I go inside?”

“Yes!”

It was the Head Maid. Alexa immediately rose from her seat and held the growling Ysildus in a flash. About Terrun… uhm, I don’t think he will wake up so I will leave him sleeping. Soon after, the door opened, and the Head Maid entered with another person.

“Huh?”

She looks familiar…. Reddish hair with blue eyes. What more, she was wearing a maid’s clothes.

‘Selina!’

Selina, whom Alexa had been searching for all this time, stood in front of her.
