Sympathy Side Character

Chapter 7

The Kingdom of the Traquiz, known for their wealth and economy.

They are to be called one of the best and worst Kingdom you could ever go to. Best because whoever you are, whatever position you have, gaining money is as easy as breathing. Bad, because every bloodline within the said place are cursed.

But amongst all the wealthy family this kingdom have, alongside the Traquiz family of the Emperor, two families are known to hold an almost equal power to the Royal family.

The Family of the Marquess, Pevora.

The Family of the Duke, Zachary.

Pevora's are in charged of managing the outside business with the neighboring countries.

Zachary's are known for their stoic and heartless personality, despite that, they are trusted to hold the protection of the empire, standing as the shield, willing to wield a sword to protect the people.

**

A year ago, the Pevora's heiress, Quin, was attacked by a group of Wolves that are said came from the wolf tribe.

Marquess, being an arrogant and prideful person, would never let his daughter be touched by just anyone.

Out of anger, without even a single investigation, The Marquess ordered his people to attack the village of the Wolf Tribe.

Wolves re known for their physical power, enough reason for them to win.

But that was the start of the hellish war. Since they also had a great lost, the wolves lost half of their defence.

The illegal mercenaries who happened to roam around the forest found their situation. So without thinking, they called their other mercenaries and decided to raid the whole village.

The Wolf tribe had been gone after that.

Originally, no one was suppose to survive, so their race became officially remain as a history.

Or everyone thought so.

Because Zion knows, that Etelle's existance is a proof that someone other than him might have survived.

"... What a poor boy..." he sighed as he look at the documents in front of him.

He ordered his private investigator to investigate the background of the wolf tribe.

But he didn't expect it to be this heartbreaking.

Children, elders and many innocents were slaughtered.

"But why did the mercenary attacked them suddenly?" he asked Miko, who is sitting casually on a couch. They are currently at his office.

Miko bit his lips. He also read the documents and now he truly understand why the Duke took Etelle in. "Well, there's these informations written in books. It states that a blood of a pure wolf, when stored in a jar for two years will turn into a Ruby gem"

"Is that proven?"

"... I'm not sure... Only magicians can hold experiments and they never really talk about wolves."

"Maybe because just like Lion tribes, wolves are prideful and physically impossible to defeat."

"By the way, Your Grace. What are you gonna do about Etelle?"

"What do you mean?"

Miko sighed. "I mean to say, Etelle is still young. He needs a lot of things a wolf naturally needs."

"I'll just have to take care of him and fulfill his needs as an older."

Right. Zion know how it felt growing up without parents, that's why he have to fulfill Etelle's need in parenting.

He have to take care of him.

"Etelle." Zion said with a deeper voice.

But the stubborn wolf doesn't listen to him. Etelle kept on clinging on Miko's legs.

Both of them flinch a little when Etelle started hissing and show his sharp canines.

"Uhh... M-Maybe... We should just let him?" Miko said while scratching his head.

Zion isn"t listening to him and is still trying to get Etelle away from his leg.

Zion is getting pissed. When they entered Etelle's room to check, Etelle started acting really strange and started to cling on Miko.

"Etelle. Let. His. Leg. Go."

'Why the heck would I!? Miko is my type! He barely show his arms but today, he wore sleeveless so might as well enjoy it!' Etelle said on her mind as she secretly touches Miko's arm.

The door burst open, revealing the doctor. He hurriedly went to Etelle to check on her.

Zion sighed in frustration. "Tell me what is his problem."

The doctor gasp. "Oh no! Could it be that he is in heat?"

Both Zion and Miko froze.

"So... He's in heat!?" Miko points at the kid clinging on his leg.

Even Zion is shock. "But why is he rubbing on Miko? Aren't he supposed to be attracted with females?"

"That... I don't know the answer." the doctor lower his head.

"W-What are we gonna do?" Miko is panicking.

'Idiots. I'm not in heat.' as much as Etelle wanna curse on them, she kept her mouth shut.

She flinch when she suddenly got lifted on the air. Zion is holding her like a cat.

"We have to do something. We need to distract him."

So they came up with a little idea.
