#100

Leon dropped something sparkling onto my hand.

“Huh? This, could it be…?”

It was none other than a hairpin adorned with a blue moon-shaped decoration.

“Wait, when did you even buy this?”

“You seemed to like it, Master.”

While shopping in Siollan Village, I had discovered this hairpin at one of the shops.

I never expected to see a hairpin in this place, so I stared at it for quite a while out of curiosity.

It seemed Leon had been watching me the whole time.

‘They were selling it for an outrageous price, calling it a mysterious item from the East…’

Ever since coming to Avalon, Leon had been showering me with expensive jewelry, dresses, and precious items as a display of his wealth. I already had more than enough of what he’d given me…

“Don’t you like it?”

“Oh, no. It’s so pretty.”

Perhaps because my reaction wasn’t enthusiastic enough, Leon’s tail began to droop lower and lower.

I quickly placed the hairpin gently in my hair and said:

“How do I look? Am I pretty?”

“What’s there to say? Master is the most beautiful creature in the world.”

Seeing Leon quote my own words back at me made me burst into laughter.

I giggled and playfully replied:

“But Leon, stop showing off already. I get it—you’re loaded.”

At those words, Leon paused for a moment. It was an unusual silence for him.

He then slowly approached me, nuzzled against my face, and muttered in a small voice:

“…You’re right. I’ve been uncharacteristically restless lately.”

“Hm? What did you say?”

Poof—!

“Hey, you again…! Clothes, put your clothes on quickly!”

Leon, who had once again transformed into human form without caring about anyone else’s feelings, casually picked up his clothes as if nothing happened and said:

“Master likes expensive things. Think of it as payment for rescuing the most handsome and sexy guy in the world.”

Leon smiled with his usual expression.

But for some reason, his eyes seemed heavily subdued.

‘Maybe he’s tired from all the recent events…’

I felt like I could understand the reason, yet couldn’t quite grasp it, so I could only tilt my head in confusion.

“Child, that’s where humans live, so you must never go near there.”

“Grr? Why not?”

“Humans will be frightened when they see us and attack. So never set foot over there.”

“Whine… But there’s a sweet scent coming from over there…”

“I said no.”

“Tch… Fine.”

In the dense forest at the edge of Siollan Village.

Moving carefully between the dark green trees and undergrowth, the bear mother and cub were hunting while avoiding humans as usual.

Hunting had become increasingly difficult lately, forcing them to venture deep into the dangerous parts of the forest, so the mother bear’s eyes were filled with wariness.

That’s when it happened.

Whoosh— CRASH!

Intense flames tore through the sky and crashed to the ground.

The tremendous impact sent birds resting on tree branches scattering into the sky in alarm.

“Child, my child!”

The mother bear instinctively pulled her cub into her embrace.

The bear cub, with frightened eyes, groped around and cried out:

“M-Mama! I can’t see!”

The mother bear quickly surveyed their surroundings.

She crouched low into the dark shadows of the forest, hiding her cub in her embrace.

Soon, a figure slowly emerged from the dark red flames.

Intense red eyes that blazed like burning fire.

Long black hair that reached down to his chest was dyed a vivid red at the ends, as if flames were spreading through it.

The burning wings he had spread absorbed back into his body as if they were part of him.

What broke the silence that had fallen over the forest was a low, chilling voice.

“…Nothing but useless creatures everywhere.”

Ragnos looked around the forest filled with insignificant auras and ground his teeth.

Dark red flames began to rise from his fingertips.

“Damn that old bastard.”

Ragnos furrowed his brow deeply and muttered curses.

The flames flickered violently as if reflecting his foul mood.

What had led him to this place was an order from Agni of the Dragon Clan. He had commanded him to trample everything after detecting suspicious energy.

However, no matter how much he searched the forest, all that stood before him were inferior and useless beings.

Ragnos despised useless creatures.

It was none other than Agni who had evolved him from a lower-class demon beast into the Demon King Clan and made him a subordinate.

Because of this, he was forced to pledge loyalty, but Ragnos looked forward to the day when he could eliminate that arrogant-faced Agni with his own hands.

‘But now is not the time yet.’

For now, it was time to become Agni’s loyal dog and carry out his orders.

Ragnos looked around with emotionless eyes and spotted a large fire bear and its cub nearby.

“I’ll grant you the special privilege of being slightly useful.”
