Fostering the Male Lead

“But, My Lady, Shasha is a predatory animal. It has always been trying to hurt you. It’s dangerous.”

“It’s okay, I’ll win.”

“What if it attacks you when you’re asleep?”

“Wouldn’t my instincts take care of it?”

It might sound like bullshit, but it could still be possible with Rosetta’s trained body. And I knew Shasha wouldn’t attack me. I didn’t worry about it too much. But Marina’s thoughts were different.

“Then you should at least put a muzzle on his mouth.”

Shasha, who understood her words, looked at me again with big eyes as if he was saying, ‘Master, Shasha doesn’t like muzzles.’

Interpreting his eyes, I muttered as if I was possessed.

“It’s alright. He won’t be able to sleep because he might feel stuffy while wearing the muzzle. It’s okay because I’ve subjugated him now.”

“Then I’ll stay here and protect you. I can’t leave you alone like this.”

“Sure.”

After getting my permission, Marina settled down on the couch. She didn’t take her eyes off him. From the beginning, Shasha didn’t even care.

Whether Marina glared at him or not, he stretched out his body and closed his eyes. That’s how the day ended.

* * *

When I opened my eyes, my neck was securely attached to my body and Shasha was still in the dreamland.

As I expected, nothing had happened last night.

Marina still didn’t trust Shasha, but she no longer made faces when looking at the sleeping Shasha.

Also, no matter how much she tried to stay awake, Marina wasn’t able to keep an eye on Shasha every night.

Why every night, you ask?

I don’t know what kind of change of heart he had, but Shasha started coming to my room every night. Even if he ate in his room, he came right into my room when he wanted to sleep.

I was worried that he was suffering from separation anxiety, but during the day, he was the complete opposite, making me so confused. He reacted sensitively only at night and tried to sleep next to me.

“So, is he always going to be next to you?”

Lanoa looked at Shasha, who was lying at my feet with tired eyes.

“He only stays with me at night.”

“Then what’s he doing beside your feet right now?”

Lanoa again glanced down at Shasha, who was drowsily lying at my feet.

“Cute Shasha.”

I patted Shasha’s head as he lay face down near my feet, but Shasha dodged my hand. I smiled awkwardly.

‘Why is he so cold during the day and comes to stick with me to sleep together at night? I don’t know what goes in his head.’

“Huh, where is the Rosetta Katzel, who would whip the beasts she raised to make them strong?”

“I have been reborn. Forget the old Rosetta.”

The Rosetta he mentioned was not me. I’m going to live a good life now.

“I realized how I’ve been living my life. I’m going to live a decent life now.”

“Pft!”

Lanoa choked on his tea and spat it all over my face.

“Ah, it’s disgusting!”

“Cough! Cough! Hey, you’re not taking some drugs behind my back, right?”

“Are you asking me if I’m taking some drugs? Is that what you should ask your little sister?”

“I don’t think you’re normal.”

Lanoa would be such a good brother if he could shut his mouth. His mouth was always the problem.

“Shasha, bite him.”

“Grrrrrrrr.”

“Hey, hey, it was just a joke.”

Seeing Shasha charge at him, Lanoa got scared and moved aside to dodge him. It was a quick move, befitting a Katzel. But Shasha was also not one to miss. He chased after Lanoa with all his might.

Shasha, who was chasing him, suddenly ran towards the door.

“Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!”

“Young Master, it’s me.”

Shasha’s barks grew louder at the unfamiliar voice. Of course, it was also a strange voice to me.

“Come in.”

The man who came through the door was someone who existed in my memory.

Baron Pallia.

Since Lanoa was a wanderer and I got involved in a lot of accidents, he was the one who was in charge of managing the fief on our behalf.

“Ah, there’s Young Lady, too.”

Rosetta remembered not being on very good terms with the Baron. The Baron nagged Rosetta all the time for ruining the family, and Rosetta trembled at the Baron’s nagging.

Rosetta would try to avoid him if she heard his voice from afar, and she often ignored his greetings. But I am not that Rosetta.
