Rock walked through the corridor to the Princess’s room in a not–so–great mood. 1
He felt complicated after talking with Lady Jade, who had poisoned his mind and made him question his feelings for the Princess..
Of course, Rock wasn’t stupid enough to try to touch her. Princess Swan was his Alpha’s mate. He respected and revered Gale so much that it was simply impossible for him to have crazy ideas regarding Gale’s mate 2
At the same time, it also bothered him that Lady Jade kept on telling him that he was fascinated by Swan’s beauty.
‘Am I really fascinated? She is beautiful, but surely I’m not that easy to like someone just because she’s a beauty, right?‘ Rock asked himself but found no answer to his question. The more he pondered about it, the more confused he became.
He kept contemplating this until he stopped in front of Princess Swan’s bedroom, where the cat maids were standing outside, waiting for order.
Myra and Maya bowed at Rock and stated, “You are a bit late. The Princess has been
waiting.”
“Haha, yeah, sorry about that,” Rock resumed his energetic self. He knew these two cat maids and anyone who wasn’t a soldier didn’t respect him as much. In their mind, only His Majesty deserved their respect.
He didn’t care much. It was just a part of their culture to only respect the strongest,
and the rest were more or less equal.
Myra and Maya opened the door for him, and Rock saw Princess Swan, still wearing the same dress that showed her cleavage, sitting in the wheelchair.
Swan turned her head and smiled at Rock, “Thank you for coming.”
Rock held his breath. He felt nervous for some reason, and the Princess‘ voice didn’t help him.
Princess Swan had a soft voice. Whenever she spoke, it felt like a feather was tickling his heart. She was timid and often stammered or spoke in a barely audible voice, even for beastmen who had sharp hearing.
He didn’t pay much attention other than the fact that she sounded pleasant before, but now that his heart was confused, he found himself strangely excited to hear her

talk.
‘Is this what His Majesty feels whenever he’s with the Princess? No wonder he specifically asked me to protect her, Rock thought. He masked all of his strange nervousness with his big smile and replied, “Sorry for being late, Princess. Worry not, I’ve been informed that His Majesty is still on his way, so it’ll take him a while to reach
the castle.
“T–That’s good,” Swan’s cheeks turned reddish as she was embarrassed at her own. thoughts. “I will be in your care…”
Thus, Rock pushed the wheelchair and carried her down the stairs just like before.
He didn’t feel much at first, other than the idea that she had a strangely familiar and alluring scent that he couldn’t identify. She kept on covering her cleavage while being carried. He couldn’t help but feel that her hands were preventing him from looking at something beautiful. 2
Rock pushed the wheelchair from the castle ground up until the stone pathway leading to the area with lush trees before saying, “Princess, the maids can only accompany you up until here because the area is forbidden for them.”
“It’s okay. They need rest, too,” Swan responded calmly. She looked at the cat maids and smiled bashfully at them, “Y–You two should take a rest first. Don’t worry, Rock can accompany me.”
Myra and Maya looked at each other before turning at Rock.
Truthfully, they didn’t trust anyone except His Majesty to be near the Princess, but since Rock had been assigned as her protector, they couldn’t say much.
Thus, they excused themselves and left.
Rock pushed the wheelchair through the stone pathway, and Swan found herself clenching her dress when they entered the forbidden area.
The area was surrounded by tall trees with many branches. They were all making a big circle, covering the entire place from any source of light until she saw a calm lake in the middle of the shrouded area.
The moonlight was reflected on the deep blue water, giving her a hint that the lake was very deep. Not that she would ever try to swim since she was never taught how to.
She found the area to be serene, a perfect place to rest for someone like–Gale.
Rock stopped the wheelchair at the lakeside, allowing the Princess to bask under the

moonlight, and said, “You might’ve heard this from old tales, but we–wolf beastmen, have our own Goddess called Seline, the Moon Goddess. The moonlight fills us with strength, so His Majesty likes to bathe in here to relax and replenish his strength after a fight or a war.”
“I see…” Swan muttered. “I also like to stare at the moon. Sometimes I go out at night around the castle because I like the peace.”
Swan was half–lying when she said that. The other reason for her to go out of her room at night we because she was free from Arla’s Forment and was allowed to make something in the kitchen with the leftovers.
She couldn’t bring a candle, so she usually relied on the moonlight to guide her through the night. In a way, the moon had become some sort of a friend for her.
Swan began to lower her guard as she leaned on the wheelchair, staring at the lake, and asked, “Have you found your mate, Rock?”
“M–mate? Oh–uhh…” Rock was caught off guard by the abrupt question, especially when he had been staring at her boobs the whole time. He had been standing behind her, and his body started to get hot for an unknown reason. His eyes were also quickly directed at the exposed cleavage of the Princess. This angle gave him perverted imagery of what Princess Swan’s boobs looked and shaped when she was fully naked.
He also wondered about her taste. Since she had such milky skin, then her body should’ve tasted like milk too, right?
