The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

“Rather than that, before I went to kindergarten, I asked Tommy to take good care of Polly. How’s Polly doing now?”

Breaking up Ellox’s fuss, Cedric asked a question in a stiff tone. Of course, contrary to such a tone, Cedric’s eyes were wide open with anxiety, and his hands trembled.

He was very afraid that something big might have happened while he was away.

“It’s fine so far.  Don’t worry, Tommy didn’t even eat lunch, and he kept taking care of Polly in the room next to the young master’s bedroom. No, why are your cheeks so slender? Did you skip lunch too?”

At Ellox’s out-of-the-box question, I honestly felt that he has very keen eyes.

I thought, how did he know? In fact, in today’s kindergarten, Cedric refused to eat, saying he had no appetite. Of course, just because he skipped one meal like that, he doesn’t seem to show any signs right away.

“……Stop nagging me, Ellox, I’m not in the mood to hear nagging today.”

“Ah, yes. Suit yourself, young master.”

Perhaps feeling the tiredness dripping from Cedric’s voice, Ellox shrugs his shoulders and goes back to the training ground. Since then, Cedric looked at the distance for a while and then looked back and said what he was thinking.

“……This is because our family is a knight family from generation to generation.”

“I think I heard that before.  Anyway, we shouldn’t be doing this right now… Shouldn’t we go to meet Polly?”

“Oh. Right.”

Cedric seemed to have forgotten the purpose of me coming here for a while.

And after about 5 minutes, I was able to meet the dog named Polly.

“Polly! I’m here!”

Upon entering the room, Cedric walked in, calling Polly’s name.

The young knight, who had just been caring for the dog, left the room saying that he’d better get going.

Because of this, it was only Cedric and Polly and me in this room.

‘That’s good.’

Because what I’m going to do from now on is awkwardly acting, like a B-Class movie.

I had to “accidentally” find evidence that Polly was a magical being, while observing Polly, pretending to be knowledgeable about animals. Luckily, remembering the information about magical beings in the original, I knew what to give as evidence.

‘But I’m definitely a bad actor, so if a kid who’s quick-witted or an older person, they might notice my acting right away.’

I thought that there will be days when it will be fortunate that Cedric is not aware of it.

And I saw the little puppy, about the length of my calf, lying on the other side without strength.

Looks like that puppy is Polly.

The clear sign of illness was clear. The long, white fur that would have flowed well and glossy with each comb stroke, was crumpled,  and its eyes, which would have been bright, were blank and dazed.

Cedric patted Polly carefully and asked it. These were words that could not be heard. But I knew.

Since a magical being is intelligent, it’s clear that Polly remembers all the things Cedric said. As long as the seal is released, conversation will be possible.

“How have you been? You haven’t eaten today either. It is the same.”

It was as Cedric said. The meat in the bowl next to Polly was untouched.

Feeling sorry for nothing, I decided to come forward to see it.

“Let me take a look at Polly.”

“……Please.”

Seeing Polly, who couldn’t even shake its tail because of its powerlessness, Cedric stepped back as if resigned.

And I looked carefully at every corner of Polly’s body.

“Are you sure you’re seeing it right?”

Back, belly, hip, tail. Even though I have looked at most of its body, I haven’t found the mark of the magical being yet, and I felt impatient when I heard Cedric’s urge in an anxious voice behind my back.

It was then.

“Oh!”

“What, did you find anything? Did Polly get a little better?”

I finally found it.

I noticed a star-shaped spot clearly stamped on the pinkish skin inside Polly’s ears.

I showed it to Cedric, who ran to my side in a hurry with my exclamation.

Of course, Cedric was just confused because he didn’t know what this meant.

“A dot? What is the problem with this?

“My Lord, let’s start with the conclusion first. Polly is a magical being.”

First of all, I told him from the very core because I thought the explanation would be long.

“……What?”

Of course, Cedric’s reaction to those words was just a sense of absurdity.

‘What nonsense is this kid talking about?’ seemed to be written on his face.

Such a reaction, of course, I expected it.

I laughed bitterly and began a lengthy explanation.
