We decided to wash first.
“Look at your clothes, Arsene.”
Arsene’s clothes were a mess with grass, and his neat hair was also completely disheveled.
Ha, Arsene laughed.
“How do you look? Take some bath water.”
Arsene pointed to my clothes and then instructed the maid who was standing next to me.
After the maid nodded and bowed her head, she quickly disappeared to get her bath water.
“It’s because I climbed the tree.”
I’ve never made my clothes so dirty since I was seven.
As I glanced at Arsene and made excuses, Arsen nodded and said it as if he knew it.
“Okay, go wash up and come out. I’m going to wash up, too.”
“Okay.”
I nodded slightly.
After parting ways with Arsene and arriving in front of the bathroom, I carefully change my form.
Pong–!
My bird form was more messy than when it was released.
‘Because this makes it easier to wash.’
The maids came over to help me bathe, and when they saw me transformed into a bird, they laughed.
“It’s easier to wash when you’re shapeshifting, right?”
I nodded slightly.
It would be more comfortable this way for the maids to wash me.
‘First of all, I became smaller.’
Of course, it’s much bigger than when I was young.
I slipped into the steamy bathtub.
Then, as if the maids had been waiting for me, they washed my dirty body cleanly.
I gave myself up to the gentle touch and blinked.
‘Anyway, he said he had something to say to Arsene.’
What is he trying to say?
It would have been fine to say it right then, since all the workers had left, but it seemed important based on what wasn’t said.
“Lady, please lift your wings.”
Betty spoke softly and gently smoothed my wings.
I gently lifted the wet, heavy wings.
Betty and the maids washed me thoroughly, then took me out of the water and wiped every inch of my body with a towel.
My feathers quickly dried out.
‘I felt so sleepy after washing up…’
I yawned automatically.
But I couldn’t fall asleep.
‘I need to see father.’
I needed to hear what the situation was like at the sanctuary after we left.
I jumped in place, shapeshifted, grabbed Ethan, and asked him.
“What about father?”
“He’s in the room. It looks like he was tired.”
“Can I see him?”
“Yes, of course. There was already an order to bring the Young Lady and the Young Master.”
After Ethan responded kindly, he personally guided me to Kendrick’s room.
Knock, knock.
He knocked lightly and then opened his mouth.
“The Young Lady is here.”
“Tell her to come in.”
Kendrick’s voice was heard inside. Ethan opened the door, bowing his head as if to ask me to go in.
I cautiously stepped into Kendrick’s room.
“…Father?”
“Linsy. Sit here.”
Arsene came before me and sat down.
His fine silver hair was wet, maybe because he had just bathed.
As I sat down, Kendrick explained the situation at the sanctuary.
The number of beastmen who have lost their minds is increasing exponentially, and there is no way to stop it anymore.
There seems to be a group controlling them, but the identity of that group has not yet been revealed.
And,
“I’ve just received a call that Yeckhart’s border has fallen.”
The beastmen who had lost their minds pushed their way into Yeckhart.
Kendrick’s expression sank.
“How long will it take to create an antidote?”
“Even if the Deer Clan is willing to help, it will only be a week at most. Besides, losing their minds isn’t the only problem.”
Kendrick touched his forehead.
“It is said that you can subdue beastmen who have lost their minds and then use medicine, but there is no way to help those who have died after being bitten by beastmen who have lost their minds. So…”
Silence fell in the room for a moment.
“We must subdue them as much as possible, and if that is not possible, kill them. The number of beastmen who have lost their minds is increasing too quickly. Looking at the situation, we don’t have the strength to deal with it.”
“Then…”
“Yes, I have given orders to the knights. If possible, subdue them alive, but if necessary…kill them.”
After Kendrick uttered his words, he rubbed his fingers around his mouth as if he had mixed feelings.
His eyes were full of anger.
‘Because father tried to protect them as much as possible.’
I know that other clans kill all beastmen who lose their minds.
However, Kendrick couldn’t give up on them, so he has been protecting them with the help of Hern and others.
Something similar to Kendrick’s beliefs was cruelly broken and destroyed.
“What kind of guys would do something like this…”
I listened to Kendrick and quietly nodded my head as if I agreed.
‘What on earth do you gain by doing this?’
It’s not like one family is making a profit from this. The beastmen society was collapsing helplessly due to the appearance of beastmen who had lost their minds.
Everyone was suffering.
I had no idea what benefit they were trying to gain from this.
“Anyway, so I have to go out and check it out right away.”
He just barely came back. Kendrick muttered quietly.
Kendrick was the leader of the head family of the Wolf Clan, the Yeckhart, and the head of all the Wolf Clan, so he had to prioritize the safety of the Wolf Clan.
Therefore, now that Yeckhart’s border has fallen, Kendrick can’t just lie down and rest in his mansion.
Although he understands the whole situation,
“Should Arsene go too?”
“That’s right. Arsene is Yeckhart’s successor.”
Kendrick answered calmly.
He said earlier that he had something to say to Arsene, and I guess it was this.
When I looked back at Arsene, I saw that Arsene was also staring at Kendrick’s face with a stiff expression.
“Please be careful.”
I looked Kendrick directly in the eye and spoke carefully.
Kendrick then smiled slightly as if to reassure me.
“Don’t worry. Anyway, there is something else to worry about. Linsy, if we all leave, you will be alone in the mansion…”
“I don’t think we’ll be able to come back soon.”
Arsene took over Kendrick’s words.
Kendrick said that, as the head of Yeckhart, it was reasonable to prioritize the safety of the Wolf Clan.
Arsene looked like he didn’t want to leave me behind. I held Arsene’s hand tightly and gently stroked his hair.
“It’s all right. This is the house of Yeckhart. What can happen? There are knights in the mansion and holy relics in the basement. They will protect me.”
To put them at ease, I spoke in a brave tone.
“So, be careful.”
Arsene nodded. I could see the blue eyes staring at me.
“It may be late, Linsy. We plan to keep the border and prevent those who lost their minds from invading. I will stop by the mansion often, but it seems difficult to come often. And…”
Kendrick sighed.
“There’s something I want you to do.”
“Yes, please say it!”
Even before Kendrick finished speaking, I responded by nodding my head.
I wanted to do anything I could.
I also wanted to help in this situation.
I can’t fight like Arsene and Kendrick, but if I can do something useful, even if it’s not a battle….
“I brought in some beastmen who lost their minds earlier.”
“The beastmen who lost their minds?”
“Yes, I didn’t want to bring you in since it was dangerous.”
Kendrick seemed speechless for a moment and couldn’t say anything.
Arsene and I patiently waited for Kendrick to continue speaking.
“I couldn’t bear to kill the young beastmen. However, if left as is, it is clear that they will die soon…so I brought it with me. I wonder if you can treat young beastmen.”
Young beastmen.
As soon as I heard it, my head went blank.
‘Why didn’t I think there would be young beastmen?’
Among those who suffered the most damage from this incident, it seemed that the young beastmen could be singled out without hesitation.
Children who lost their minds at a young age and became that way.
When I thought of the young beastmen who had lost their parents, been separated from them, or been killed by other beastmen, I suddenly became so sad that I kept my mouth shut.
But Kendrick must have taken that as a rejection, so he waved his hand and said,
“If it’s difficult, you don’t have to do it. Let’s just isolate it like that and when an antidote comes out…”
“No, I will do it!”
I hurriedly blurted out an answer before Kendrick finished speaking.
“I can cure it. I will take care of the young beastmen, so please send them to the mansion.”
We decided to wash first.
“Look at your clothes, Arsene.”
Arsene’s clothes were a mess with grass, and his neat hair was also completely disheveled.
Ha, Arsene laughed.
“How do you look? Take some bath water.”
