Chapter 4

Feeling a nostalgic presence, I flew out of the Divine Beast Realm.

There, in the center of the beasts, was a girl bleeding. The nostalgic presence emanated from the red blood flowing from the girl. It seems that the blood of the royal family of the Sacred Kingdom had awakened in her extreme state. Perhaps the blood of the Sacred Kingdom unconsciously summoned me, a divine beast.

However, what caught my attention was not just that.

It would be interesting to watch this girl’s future. Alright, let’s make a contract.

I made a contract with the girl and cleared away the surrounding magical beasts. I also healed her injuries; otherwise, she would have died.

After a while, the girl woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she was, well, quite disappointing.

Despite having a face that could make one’s eyes widen with adoration, everything she did was disappointing. When she said it was strange that a wolf could talk and stuck her head into my mouth, I truly thought, “What is this girl?”

I’ve never been treated like this, even by the infants of the former Sacred Kingdom. This girl is worse than an infant, no, less than an infant.

She’s a purebred princess, yet what kind of upbringing did she have? ...No, given her rather complicated background, she might not have received proper education.

She climbs on me without knowing if I’m friend or foe. She doesn’t even notice that her injuries are healed. She’s really scatterbrained. At least she has a good face.

Even if I ask her, she probably can’t guide us to the empire. For now, let her sleep.

When she spoke, it was incredibly disappointing, but when she was sleeping, she looked innocent and adorable. I like children.

When I told her to sleep, she obediently closed her eyes.

After losing so much blood, of course, her condition is not perfect.

We are heading to unfamiliar lands. It’s best for her to recover as much as possible.

I ran as smoothly as possible. I could predict the general direction from the map left in the carriage.

I wanted to use the carriage for her health, but unfortunately, the holy beast that was pulling the carriage seems to have been transferred as well, making the carriage unusable.

I could pull the carriage myself, but that would be too humiliating.

Taking advantage of the girl’s lack of thought, I collected only the luggage and left the carriage behind. Getting my fur dirty from the girl’s drool is better than pulling a carriage.

While the girl was sleeping, I secretly checked on the knights she had transferred out of the forest. Hmm, they all seem unharmed.

I thought they might come into the forest to save her, but it seems they decided to return to the castle to report. Well, that’s what most people would do. In that situation, it’s normal to think this girl’s survival is hopeless.

Good judgment, not wasting the life I saved.

After running for a while, the girl’s stomach, which I had on my back, growled loudly.

Hmm, I hadn’t given her anything to eat despite her massive blood loss. I don’t feel hunger, so I overlooked this.

However, despite being hungry, the girl shows no signs of waking up. It seems her body desires sleep more than food.

Well, I’ll hurry to the empire. Once we get there, we should be able to get some food.

Also, I need to teach her proper royal behavior.

I am a divine beast who has contracted with the king of the Sacred Kingdom, so I am strict about manners?
