The White Stoat Princess (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 4
‘Ah, I really need to persuade him earnestly, but I can’t seem to get a grip on myself.’
Resting my chin on the back of his hand, the contact area between my fur and his skin expanded, allowing even more mana to flow into me.
“Kyuu uu.”
‘Ah, so warm and cozy—this is wonderful.’
This won’t do at all. Once again, I melted like cheese in a double boiler, going utterly limp and sticking fast to his hand.
The man looked down at me with a bewildered expression.
“Truly strange.”
What’s so strange about it? The world is vast—surely there could be at least one weasel like me who adores fire.
‘I got lucky. I was about to die from hunger, and not only did edible bread appear, but I also met someone with the fire attribute.’
“Kyu kyu.”
Last night, I cried myself to sleep in utter despair, yet here I am—completely happy again after just one day. It felt like a miracle.
Just as my good mood made me emit a meaningless little “kyu kyu” sound,
a large hand firmly grasped my tiny body and lifted me high into the air with a soft whoosh.
Now, ruby-red eyes met mine at the same level. On his cold, impassive face, only those fiery, burning irises stood out vividly.
‘Why? What? Why?’
Unconsciously tensing up, I gulped nervously and silently asked myself those frantic questions. Right at that moment,
the man uttered words I never could have imagined.
“Cry again.”
‘Huh? Cry on purpose?’
When did I even cry?
I tilted my head slightly and let out a small, questioning sound.
“Kyu?”
If a beast cries, it’d probably sound like this. But he firmly shook his head at my whimper.
“Not that.”
I myself hadn’t even realized my cries varied by situation, yet this man had already figured it out?
Though utterly dumbfounded, I couldn’t very well refuse while he stared at me so intently.
‘Oh well, whatever.’
I put on the cutest expression I could muster and replied.
“Kyuing?”
Well? Isn’t it adorable? Charming, right?
But the man’s face scrunched up instantly.
“…Is that really all you can say?”
All I can say?! That was my ultimate cuteness technique!
‘What did you even expect from a beast in the first place?’
With a heavy sigh, I buried my face into his palm. Above my head, his sigh poured down.
“Nothing to be done about it.”
Raising his other hand, he gently stroked my head. The warmth swirling softly around my body made me shiver happily.
His fingers hovered hesitantly above my head for a moment before finally dropping away. In a calm voice, he declared,
“Your name is Kyu Kyu.”
“Kyu?!”
What kind of trash name is that?
‘That’s so half-hearted! It’s neither pretty nor cute!’
Give me a different one!
Staring pointedly at him with that message in my eyes, he inexplicably flushed slightly at the tips of his ears and abruptly changed the subject.
“My name is Hadel.”
Who asked for your name?!
‘Ugh, this is so frustrating.’
He’d clearly misread my pleading gaze for a name change as eagerness to hear his own name. Exasperated, I twisted my body back and forth and finally tapped my mouth lightly with my short, plump paw.
‘Why can’t I speak human language?’
I have a tongue and a mouth—why can’t I talk? On second thought, if I moved my tongue like I did when I was human, maybe I could manage it.
‘With enough willpower and grit, there’s no way I can’t do it. Let’s give it a try!’
However! No matter how hard I tried, all that came out of my lips was that bizarre “kyu kyu” sound.
‘Wahh, this is so sad.’
“Kyuuu…”
It’s my own mouth, yet I can’t even control my speech. Heartbroken, I let out a tearful “kyu-kyuu” and clung to Hadel’s finger for comfort.
‘Aww, so warm.’
Focusing on the fire mana, my mood instantly lifted again, as if I’d never been upset. As I rubbed my face against the back of his hand, Hadel’s hand jerked abruptly.
Wondering why, I looked up—only to see him swiftly turn his head away as if avoiding my gaze and rise to his feet.
“No matter how I look at it, you’re suspicious. I’ll have to take you to the castle for questioning.”
‘The castle?’
Taken aback, I blinked in surprise.
‘Weren’t you just some poor fellow abandoned by everyone, killing time alone in the forest?’
Didn’t your friends constantly say, “Hey, it gets too hot when you’re around! Go away!” forcing you to isolate yourself here?
Then why are you talking about a castle?
Still confused and tilting my head in bewilderment, a loud voice suddenly rang out behind us.
“Your Highness!”
‘Y-Your Highness?’
In the kingdom, there was only one rank addressed as “Your Highness.”
That was royalty.
‘Was there really such a young royal?’
I turned to look at Hadel. His smooth skin and sharply pointed black hair didn’t resemble me in the slightest.
‘Could this be a different kingdom from the one I lived in?’
That was possible. After all, I knew nothing about this world.
The knight who had addressed Hadel as “Your Highness” hurried forward and bowed respectfully, then asked politely,
“How did you come so far to this remote place?”
“I walked.”
While the knight was utterly serious, Hadel’s reply sounded anything but.
‘Could he possibly be joking?’
But it wasn’t even remotely funny—there wasn’t a speck of humor in it.
Turning back with my mouth agape, I saw Hadel’s face remained completely devoid of amusement.
‘So… he’s actually being serious?’
Which was worse: an unfunny joke or absurd earnestness?
The knight’s gaze shifted to me, squirming in Hadel’s grip. His eyes widened in astonishment.
“What is that creature you’re holding…?”
“I found a strange weasel.”
Hadel’s hand was so large that holding me up required only one of them.
Lifting me like a trophy, he grasped my waist firmly. Though my face burned crimson from the humiliating introduction before a stranger, Hadel remained perfectly composed.
“It doesn’t get burned, even while touching me.”
Ugh, was that really the only reason he hoisted me up like this?
“What? Is that truly possible?”
…Huh? So maybe it wasn’t so trivial after all?
The knight looked so shocked that I was startled by his expression. He leaned down, staring intently at me, and murmured,
“Normally, any beast would be unable to endure even a moment’s contact. Aren’t animals even less resistant to mana than humans?”
“This one’s different. It greedily absorbs fire.”
His analysis was spot-on.
‘Ugh, I thought he was clumsy with mana, but he senses it with surprising finesse. It feels oddly unbalanced.’
Usually, those who struggle to control mana simply can’t perceive it well enough to manage the leaks precisely.
But Hadel clearly felt mana acutely—even faint flames intended for a tiny weasel like me.
‘Then maybe he’s not failing to sense or restrain mana—perhaps his heart is just overproducing it?’
After all, even with a wide container and a narrow bottle neck, water will splash if poured too forcefully. Hadel seemed to be in precisely that state.
‘If his heart really is overproducing mana, he must be suffering deeply. What remarkable endurance.’
He seemed worth observing closely.
While I quietly assessed Hadel’s condition, the knight examined me from every angle and suddenly exclaimed,
“This weasel is incredibly cute! I’ve never seen a white weasel with pink-tipped ears and tail before.”
‘Well, I suppose I am rather pretty.’
My head instinctively bobbed up proudly. But Hadel’s response was utterly indifferent.
“A beast’s cuteness is meaningless.”
“Kyu?!”
‘Did you just insult me by calling me a mere beast? Seriously?’
Glaring sharply at him, I was unexpectedly met with Hadel’s burning gaze—and promptly shrunk back again.
Frowning deeply, Hadel stared blankly at me and said clearly,
“If only it were a larger beast—like a horse or tiger—I could have tamed it for riding. What a pity.”
“It would indeed be most inconvenient for His Highness the Archduke to be unable to ride a horse.”
The knight chimed in sympathetically. Listening to their exchange, I blinked in confusion.
‘He can’t ride a horse? Why? Because of burns?’
From the moment we met, he’d wondered why I wasn’t scorched—but apparently, other beasts truly couldn’t endure even a moment near his flames.
Right, being unable to ride would certainly cause many inconveniences. But still—
‘Does that mean you’re calling me useless?! That’s going too far!’
“Kyu kyu!”
All life is sacred! A life’s worth isn’t measured by its usefulness!
Just as I was indignantly voicing this protest through a string of “kyu kyu” noises, Hadel’s eyes flickered faintly. Tilting his chin slightly as if looking down his nose at me, he added in a cold voice,
“Now that you mention it, it does look rather pretty. Perhaps I’ll make it into a scarf.”
“Hic!”
I hiccuped involuntarily at the reappearance of the scarf-material comment.
‘So in the end, you’re planning to skin me? After saying I was fascinating…’
There wasn’t a trace of warmth in Hadel’s eyes as he looked down at me—and my body remained firmly clutched in his grip.
I was utterly despondent.
‘Is this the price I pay for being bewitched by bread?!’
But I couldn’t give up that bread. After starving for over a week, any weasel in their right mind would have gone mad with hunger.
‘Wahh, this is why you must never lose your reason—even for a single moment.’
Oh Mother, oh Father—I was bewitched by bread and now must depart this world forever.
“Kyuu, kyuu…”
Heartbroken once more, I began to cry pitifully. Hadel’s finger pressed firmly onto my head, making me stop crying and glare at him resentfully.
‘Why are you pressing me?! Can’t you see I’m crying because of you?!’
Yet somehow, as Hadel looked down at me, he seemed to wear the faintest trace of a smile.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
