Chapter 35

The mailman would come tomorrow if she put the letter in the mailbox. Selina searched inside the mailbox in tears. There was a separate mailbox for high-ranking people, and this was for the servants living inside the Thersion Castle.

“Oh!”

Selina opened her eyes wide. She took out a letter with Ruella’s name geometrically written on it.

“I got a letter…!”

Fortunately, she wasn’t abandoned. Selina bit her lips as she opened it.

It was different from the time when Selina had nothing. As far as Selina knew, no one was as great as Ruella. Selina cherished the letter on her chest. Ruella will let Selina live this time again – just the way it has always been.

She walked on the path she had walked and went back to her room. And Selina’s room was near Alexa’s. Selina took a deep breath and opened the letter. She read the letter with trembling eyes.

“[I bet a lot on you. I want to have that money returned to me. Take the place of that girl named Alexa – with your own power.]”

Selina took a deep breath as she read her letter to the end.

‘Alexa’s place, with my own power…?’

Is that possible? But this wasn’t something Selina had a choice for. Ruella will abandon her.

‘I need to drive out Alexa.’

Selina’s blue eyes burned viciously. She is Selina, who survived the haunt of beggars. She will surely survive this time again.

Alexa tilted her head with the two anatomical diagrams side by side. Their only difference was the oral structure; their overall skeleton didn’t seem to show any difference.

“Hmm… Terrun.”

“Hmm?”

“Arf!”

She only called Terrun, but Ysildus, who was playing with the doll Alexa made, also responded. He then came around with the doll in his mouth and clung to Alexa’s thigh.

The ugly doll swayed in Ysildus’ mouth. It didn’t have a clear shape because it was made with her sloppy sewing skills, but the doll is still a doll. At that, Alexa forgot to ask the question to Terrun and pulled the doll. Ysildus bit on the doll with all his might. Alexa managed to grab the doll and throw it away.

“Go get it!”

Ysildus grabbed the doll that fell in the middle of the room and threw it upwards.

“Arf! Arf!”

It made him excited: she threw the doll, and he picked it up again and threw it on the floor. He then rolled around with the doll and played. Alexa burst into laughter thanks to Ysildus – she was enjoying it as she watched his chubby body.

“Cute, right, Terrun? He’s so cute!”

“… I’m not sure.”

Terrun glanced at the devil-like Ysildus and turned his head. He had seen eye to eye for a long time….

“Ahh!”

Ysildus rushed and collided with Terrun. Then, he shook the doll with papapa sounds, and boldly raised his head.

“What are you doing, Terrun! He wants you to pull the doll.”

Terrun straightened his tilted body and pulled the doll. Apparently, Ysildus had just pushed Terrun hard enough for him to roll off his chair. But he was panting abominably now as if he was innocent.

Terrun threw the doll he took from Ysildus to the end of the room. Tatatatata – Ysildus ran with all his might and bit the doll with his mouth. He also showed them a new skill by gently rolling the doll in between the furniture with his large front paws.

Alexa looked bewitched and shook her head.

“Oh, right. Terrun, I have a question for you.”

“What is it?”

“What do you think is the difference between a werewolf and a human?”

“We’re strong and Alexa’s weak.”

“Not that!”

Alexa let out a cry. Terrun tilted his head.

“We’re fast and Alexa’s slow.”

“Why am I the target of your comparison!!”

She was obviously asking him about a group of humans and werewolves, but Terrun was only talking about Alexa. Terrun tilted his head to the other side.

“I don’t know any other human being than Alexa.”

“Is that so…?”

It was only natural that he had only one comparison group.

Alexa deeply sighed and lifted the two anatomical figures. Would it be better to look under the sun? She looked around. Of course, the sunlight didn’t show any hidden secret text or any difference.

“Hmm.”

Alexa overlapped the two anatomies.

“Oh?”

“Huh?”

Terrun copied Alexa.

Alexa unfolded the two overlapping anatomies again. She jumped up after.

“I know! I think I know!”

Alexa stamped her feet with excitement.

She found the differences when she overlapped the two anatomical figures. Werewolves and humans almost had the same bone structure – the number of bones, the number of muscles, and the type were almost the same. The difference was –

“Thicker muscles and bones!” Alexa exclaimed in a voice filled with admiration.

There was no big difference, but it was visible when the two of them overlapped. In addition, thinking of it, the skeleton of werewolves was larger than humans. Even though Terrun said it casually, that was the reason why he was faster and stronger than humans.

Alexa bowed her head on the table and started writing this and that – in her pretty handwriting that Karrolf gave claps and praises.

“This must be the anatomy of a werewolf.”

Alexa smiled as she wrote the name on top of the anatomy with colored ink.

“Aha.”

Terrun leaned back on the chair and nodded like a grasshopper with a blade of grass in his mouth.

“This is probably their basal metabolism…. I wonder if their inner cell mechanisms are also different.”

I will never know what you are talking about, but Terrun replied to her.

“I see.”

“Werewolf cells will do a lot, much more work.”

Alexa wrote this and that with an excited face.

This was a fantasy world set in the Middle Ages. In other words, it was the time when people out there treated human lives more like flies than in modern times. Some say that most of the modern medicines were developed during the Middle Ages. The people here had no qualms about carrying out human experiments.

Alexa knew that they didn’t execute all of their prisoners inside their dungeons from each of the territories but sold some to research institutes and hospitals. And the prisoners sold were used in medical experiments.

Karrolf used to mention it to her a few times as well, and he also once told her that he once was preoccupied with biological experiments when he was young. As a result, medical science was quite advanced, and he had many related books. Compared to modern-day Korea, they weren’t lacking in knowledge. Though the technical differences were unavoidable.

‘Uh, I feel like I am actually feeling now where I am.’

Alexa shivered and shook her head. Fortunately, Alexa had no intention of committing a crime and is not afraid. In other words, she won’t be experimenting with life above the operating table.

Alexa rummaged through her books, confirming that her answers were correct, then continued to take notes with a delighted face.

Terrun helped Alexa cover and unfold the book with an indifferent face.

“Is it fun?”

“Huh?”

“Is studying fun?”

“Hmm, it is really fun.”

(T/N: I… don’t know about that…. So far, I only remember that studying was exhausting tired bunny)

To add, it wasn’t completely not related to the veterinary science Alexa studied. It was even more fascinating and interesting as a result.

“This is the first time Alexa said studying was fun.”

“That….”

Alexa tried to answer but stopped. Time obviously passed considering the sun setting outside, but Ysildus was too quiet. Alexa turned her head cautiously, feeling her heart pounding against her chest.

“Ysu…?”

“Arf!”

Ysildus wagged his tail and answered Alexa’s call. Alexa looked around the room with trembling eyes.

‘This must be heaven….’

The clumsily made stuffed toy Alexa made had a change in its fate.

She found out today that Ysildus had an excellent ability to debone. Today, the doll that received Ysildus’ utmost affection was found guilty. Cotton was scattered around the room, perhaps because he inserted his snout on the doll’s opening, so the cotton was pulled out – like clouds. Seeing Ysildus sitting in the middle of the clouds, the word ‘heaven’ came out of her automatically.

‘Calm down, Alexa.’

This is really not a big deal. He can pull out the cotton and I will make the doll again. The point is that Ysildus didn’t have another accident. 

“Hahaha. Was it fun, Ysu?”

“Arf!”

Ysildus came running and clung to Alexa’s skirt. He looked like he wanted a compliment. Since he stayed rather quiet while Alexa was studying….

“U-cha.”

Alexa lifted Ysildus. Cotton was still stuck in his snout. Alexa was dumbfounded and burst into laughter, then removed the cotton.

“Well, you had fun. Do you like the doll?”

“Arf! Arf!”

Grabbed by Alexa on each of his sides, Ysildus whined cutely and tossed around. He wriggled into a comfortable position as he put his head on Alexa’s side and breathed out.
