The aide was unable to finish his sentence, trembling at the corners of his eyes.
As Heidegger followed him outside,
The knights outside also stared at him with bewildered faces.
Something was coming and going on one side of the garden.
People from the Duke’s estate were gathered on the other side, watching the scene.
With expressions as if they had seen a dead person.
As Heidegger moved towards where the people were gathered,
A woman in a light, comfortable dress was within his sight, playing with a creature that looked like a black dog.
The slender figure with silver hair.
It was Heidegger’s daughterinlaw, Atia.
Atia shouted at Cerberus.
“Blacky, lie down!”
“Woof!”
“Good boy, you did well.”
Atia petted Cerberus’s head and gave him a treat.
The pup chewed up the small treat through his muzzle. You could hear the clear sound of the treat being chewed up.
Heidegger could not believe what he was seeing.
Was there a ghost playing a prank somewhere?
Cerberus, who should be in a cage, was outside?
That dangerous magical beast was outside?
The combination of a woman in a comfortable dress and Cerberus seemed to have no common points no matter how he thought about it.
Then, Atia raised her finger, made a scissors shape with her thumb and index finger, and shouted.
“Blacky, Bang!”
At the unfamiliar hand gesture, Cerberus tilted his head.
“Bang!”
“Woof!”
“No, that’s not it. Bang!”
As Atia kept repeating, the baby Cerberus flipped over and lay down on the ground.
Like a puppy obeying its owner.
Heidegger confirmed several times whether the creature lying down with an unknown muzzle on was Cerberus.
Maybe it’s a different dog that looks similar.
But the sturdy tail, the bandage wrapped around the wound on the front paw, and the sharp appearance typical of highlevel magical beasts.
Undoubtedly, it was Cerberus from earlier.
Heidegger muttered to his aide as if he had lost his mind.
“What am I seeing right now.”
“I have the same thought, sir…….”
The aide blinked his eyes and continued.
“Maybe there’s a person inside wearing a Cerberus costume.”
“That would be more believable.”
Everyone was unable to hide their surprise at the sight of the ferocious magical beast following Atia like a mother.
Moreover, Cerberus seemed to have grown a bit more in those few hours.
As more people flocked in, Cerberus felt threatened and bared his sharp teeth through the muzzle.
“Growl.”
At the threatening Cerberus, who was about to bark, Atia made a hissing sound.
Then, Cerberus stopped threatening, as if in response to Atia’s blocking.
“That’s right, good job.”
Atia took out a treat from her pocket and threw it to him.
Again, with a crunching sound, she drew everyone’s attention.
Even those who were not hungry had their appetites stimulated by his good eating.
“What is that?”
“It looks like jerky.”
“Did Cerberus eat jerky made by humans?”
“I’m not sure. I’m looking at it, but I can’t believe it.”
The aidedecamp, in response to Heidegger’s question, watched the creature eat with wide eyes.
Even Casus had come outside to watch this bizarre spectacle.
Now, Atia had placed a snack rolled up on the creature’s nose. Then,
“Whoa, wait.”
Cerberus was a monster who could not resist any prey.
It was not a creature that would listen to human speech, no matter who told it to wait.
“I told you to wait.”
But surprisingly, the creature understood the command to wait, and it was patiently waiting with the snack placed on its nose.
Thunk. Thunk.
Cerberus, drooling, whined while keeping an eye on Atia’s hand signals and words.
“Good, good!”
The evening glow was brightly illuminating the earth.
The red sunset reflected off Cerberus’s black body sparkled.
Everyone burst into admiration at the shiny fur that gleamed like a black leopard.
Although it was still a cub, it had a formidable appearance that made you feel it was indeed a highlevel magical beast.
After a few seconds of silence, Atia rewarded it with a snack.
“Very, very well done.”
Cerberus chewed the jerky again, crunching loudly.
The knights watching shuddered at the thought that the small piece of jerky could someday be a human bone.
But looking at what it was doing now, it seemed just like a gentle puppy.
It even wagged its tail at Atia, as if asking for praise.
“Woof! Woof!”
“…….”
Everyone watched the unbelievable situation in breathless silence.
Casus too, rolled his lips in surprise.
Cerberus.
Even when this highlevel magical beast is raised from a cub, it cannot erase its wild instincts.
So the information that it is not dependent on humans seemed doubtful enough to suspect it might be wrong.
“Incredible. You’ve tamed it like a gentle dog. It seems like you’ve been raising it for about 10 years.”
Zen, who was standing next to Casus, opened his mouth like a lost soul.
“The more I look at it, the cuter it seems.”
That’s when it happened. Atia slowly turned around.
‘So many gathered.’
Many eyes were looking at Cerberus and her from a distance.
As if to show off, Atia petted the creature.
“As you can see, it’s safe even outside the cage. Can we consider it tamed at this level?”
Among the many people, Atia looked specifically at Casus and smiled sweetly.
Casus surveyed Cerberus with a dissatisfied expression.
“Even if you say it’s out, how are you going to prove that it’s not dangerous?”
“Um, does it look dangerous?”
“The muzzle speaks of danger.”
“Ah, this?”
“……Yes.”
In this world, there was no concept of muzzling a dog.
There were houses that raised dogs from time to time, but most of them were for hunting or guarding houses.
Noble ladies sometimes raised longhaired dogs, but they were not wild enough to muzzle for decorative purposes.
There was no one who wanted to tame such a ferocious beast and raise it at home.
“I just put it on temporarily, but if it was really dangerous, I wouldn’t have brought it outside.”
“Do the Harad family teach how to tame magical beasts?”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
