Penny had already fallen asleep whilst waiting for me when I returned to my room.
I changed my damp clothes and lit a candle after putting a blanket over Penny, who was sleeping on the table.
âValhail Castaquesâ¦â¦â
I turned the parchment very carefully, looking for his name in the Castaques Kingdomâs family tree book.
His previous expression was beyond my imagination.
âHe wasnât a nice golden retriever.â
Valhail, in fact, never suits the name of a golden retriever at all.
I recognized that from the first time we met, but Iâve been hoping heâs a nice retriever.
I knew he looked like a doberman, but I wish his demeanor was different.
ââ¦â¦. but dobermans are also gentle and cute.â
I kept reasoning him in my head even after witnessing those beast-like eyes.
âThis is all because of his face.â
I spent the night reading the book of Castques Kingdomâs family tree, unable to shake a negative premonition.
However, I was unable to locate the name âValhail Castaquesâ anywhere.
Instead, there is just one name that is comparable to Valhailâs.
âNo. There isnât a chance. Not this person.â
After reviewing the manâs data, I resumed my search for the Principality of Castaques royal family lineage with a stern expression.
Even after looking over and again, the only name that was comparable to Valhailâs name within the same age range was this one.
No matter how I deny it, it seems thatâ¦â¦
âNo wayâ¦â¦.â
Clack!
I slammed the book shut. I was too flabbergasted.
How is this possible?
âIâ¦â¦ picked him up without knowing anything about him!â
The sun had come up.
Penny, who was sleeping on the table, gradually awoke in the dim sunlight.
âEum, my ladyâ¦â¦? When did you return?â
The letter I had just seen seemed to float next to Pennyâs adorable face.
âValhto Heinrich Castaques.â
He was the king, the ruler of the Castaques Kingdom, and known as the Iron Monarch.
A true lunatic tyrant!
