Reincarnated as a chicken

The first turning point

Later that day, in the cellars.

The cellar doors creaked as they were slowly opened.

A man in a white lab coat holding a handbag came through the door. With dirty blonde hair and coffee brown eyes, a face that made you just want to pity him and an air that made you want to hate him even more, he was known amongst the slaves as 'That Dumb Doctor who Works for Lady Violet.' Even if he was amongst the "Sub-Circle" he wasn't treated like an authority figure, due to his lack of achievements.

He looked to the far end of the room, where he saw sharp golden eyes glaring at him. Then he looked at the being in front of him. A little girl with her fingers bleeding and her skin deathly pale. He sat her up then lightly slapped her cheeks to confirm whether she was alive.

The girl's eyes opened slowly. She looked around her, silently grunting at the pain she now felt. The man looked at her teeth. White fangs were growing nicely and her cheek bones looked healthy. He looked at her eyes, and nothing seemed off about them.

"Hmm, it seems that the experiment managed to last the three weeks without prepared feed, probably feeding off the blood of the animals in the forest."

He jotted it down in a notebook, then gently let the girl on the ground. He then took out a syringe, and placed an empty glass vial on it.

"Grimm, this is only a temporary solution, you know?"

Vladimir said, while injecting the syringe into the little girl's arm.

"Yes, yes. It doesn't matter. We'll use it only once either way."

The silent figure whose presence was barely noticeable in the darkness responded.

"Papa?"

Ulva tiredly said, trying to sit up. The man smiled after she said that. One smile that made him seem like he was content at life, even with his face.

"P-papa? D-did I do something wrong?"

"Tch... nothing at all darling. You can rest easy."

After hearing those words, tears started flowing out the little girl's eyes. Her heart ached and her mind didn't want to believe what she had just heard.

"T-Then why? Why did you sell me?"

She begged for an answer and the scientist didn't respond to her.

"Stop crying. I made you to be stronger and more durable than humans. Something of this level shouldn't be able to harm you."

"Don't you think you are being a bit too harsh?"

Grimm asked.

"What? I don't want to lose this glass vial. It's not easy getting those especially when you live in such a poor country. Besides, what do you care?"

Grimm shrugged then looked away.

"P-papa... I'm sorry for whatever I did. I-I didn't mean to."

He patted her head.

"Listen to me. You did nothing wrong, ok? We just had to."

"Hey! Human! Stop it! Do not lie to her! Don't give her false hope..."

After having enough of what she saw, the princess let out an angry roar.

"Huh? What do you want, you stupid ogress? Just shut up in your corner of the room or else..."

Vladimir threatened. His whole demeanour switched up.

"Tch... can't you see you're hurting her?"

"Hmm?"
