As the Fangs of the once calm beasts rage rampant in the hall of the Boleoti mansion, Sir Gabel watches the children as sweat rolls down his body. His body is unable to withstand the power so he sits on his knees unable to move.

'It was negligence.'

Pavo and the maid Connie, who were waiting outside, approached Leonia, who had left the room alone.

“Milady!”

“Is the class over?”

+++++

Connie and Gabel greet the children with friendly smiles. But the two soon see Leonia and Adlyn’s eyes and stop on the spot. The golden light in the Leonia’s black eyes gleam eerily. As Adlyn's eyes are hidden under his bangs as a black aura wraps around him.

“Miss, Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Gabel hides Connie, who was not used to the beast’s fang, behind him and looks at Adlyn and Leonia.

The children must have been quite agitated, and their chests heaving up and down for a long time, taking a deep breath.

Only after raising his head did Adlyn open his mouth.

“Countess Tedross will leave alone.”

Gabel realizes that they are angry with something and have subconsciously activated the beast’s fangs. And the trigger must have been Countess Tedross, who is alone in that room.

“All right. May I carry you?”

Gabel bends down on one knee and Leonia reaches up as he takes her into his arms. He sees that she has calm down and deactivates her fangs. But when he turns to take Adlyn he freezes.

The ambient temperature of the child, whose eyes are fully black, is as cold as ice. His aura had diminished but the beast's fangs are still present. It brings shivers down his spine.

Gabel didn’t show it much, but smiles as friendly as usual.

Fortunately for him, he has encountered Phileo’s fangs a few times, so Adlyn's restrained fangs are tolerable.

“We want to go for a walk.”

"Are you upset?”

They nod without saying a word.

“Then, then I’ll bring your coats!”

While Connie senses something strange about them, she hurries to the room, Leonia comes down to the entrance hall on the first floor in Gabel’s arms with Adlyn walking in front.

Just in time, Connie also brings 2 warm winter cloaks and fur boots.

‘He's calm down.’

Phew. Gabel looks into the child’s eyes and is relieved.

The black eyes are turning gold again.

The fangs, which were triggered by sudden agitation, calm down, and quickly sink.

Connie, who had been overwhelmed by the force of the fangs, is now dressing the clothes next to Adlyn.
