Since ancient times, foxes have been known as cunning animals, regardless of time or place.

The fox uses the tiger’s power to show off its might, as in Hogahowi (狐假虎威), Aesop’s fable about the old lion and the fox, etc.

The same was true for the Hoyo tribe, which was endowed with that cunning trait, and of course the Gumiho was included. There was no need to associate with Hilde.

Moreover, she, who considered herself a proud fox, extremely hated associating with lowly people.

So, as soon as Hilde set foot in the Heavenly Tower, she cast an illusion.

Flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon reflected in water.

Mirror Flower Water Moon.

It wasn’t difficult because I filled in the missing power with magical power. After Hilde’s death, the space created by illusion almost broke.

If Hilde had realized that it was an illusion and set off the Lion’s Wrath to shatter it, it would have been shattered. Well, she failed because she didn’t realize that it was an illusion until the very end.

Hilde paid a heavy price for not being able to escape the fantasy space. She fell to the floor unconscious without being able to put up much of a fight.

The nine-tailed fox pressed the back of Hilde’s head and pondered what to do.

“Should I suck your regular juice~”

Although he is ignorant, he seems to have quite a bit of strength. Absorbing his energy will be a significant help in restoring his strength.

It was the moment when the gumiho was about to absorb Hilde’s energy.

“Oh, that won’t do.”

The gumiho stops moving as Karami’s voice is heard. The gumiho glares at Karami with a displeased look.

“Why? Wouldn’t it be better for you if he disappeared?”

“No matter how much of a loser she is, if the princess of a country disappears overnight, the kingdom will be in chaos, so it’s not a good thing.”

“If I let you go like this, you’ll come at me again? Sorry, but I don’t want to fight pointlessly.”

“Even so, if I give you an order, you’ll have to follow it. Well, even if it’s not exactly that, I’ve thought about it beforehand.”

Karami looked at Hilde and smiled meaningfully.

“Ugh… .”

Hilde opens her eyes and comes to her senses. Her head feels dizzy, as if she has severe seasickness. She puts her hand on her forehead.

‘what…?’

I clearly remember going to Heaven to fight a duel. But isn’t this the guest room of the Heavenly Tower? I wonder why I’m lying on the bed, and on top of that.

“Are you awake?”

Karami, sitting on the chair next to the bed, spoke to me. He was in the middle of reading.

“Cafe owner… ?”

“You woke up earlier than I thought. I thought Big Rin wouldn’t wake up today, but I guess you’re a princess after all.”

Hilde, who had been blinking silently as if she couldn’t figure out what was happening, suddenly got up. The vague memories that had seemed like a dream began to come back to her clearly.

I remember being under some strange spell and just punching the air.

“Where’s that nine-tailed fox bitch?!”

“Aren’t you talking to Cheonho? It looks like you have a lot to talk about.”

“You dare to do shit to me and then have a leisurely conversation? You’re a loser, motherfucker.”

Hilde was about to run out of the room, roughly throwing the blanket over her.

“Hey, don’t move around recklessly.”

Suddenly.

Hilde’s body stopped in the same position as it was about to jump out. She was in an awkward position, with her hand reaching for the doorknob and only one foot on the ground. Hilde, quite embarrassed, looked at her own tail.

“What, what is this? Why is it like this?”

Did the gumiho do something strange? It’s as if her body is under some kind of binding spell and she won’t listen to me.

“It’s bad if you act too wild. Instead, just sit down calmly.”

“What the hell is this kid? Can’t you see this? Who dares── Huh?”

Despite the swearing coming out of her mouth, Hilde sat down on the bed obediently. In a somewhat submissive posture, something she never did normally.

It’s a strange feeling, as if her body is not listening to itself and is following some command. Hilde’s confusion rises one level higher, as if she were climbing stairs.

“What is this? Why is my body like this?”

“Why is that? Where in the world is there a slave who doesn’t listen to his master?”

“What the hell are you talking about? Why am I your slave? Is this kid really out of his mind?”

“Hmm, this slave seems to have high strength, but low intelligence… .”

“This lowlife bastard!”

It was when Hilde was about to swing her fist with the intention of crushing Karami’s head.

“Wait.”

Hilde stopped in a stance ready to throw her fist again.

“Sit down.”

He slowly came down and squatted down on the floor in a waiting posture.

“This, what is this…?!”

Hilde struggled to get away, but she wouldn’t budge. Karami, who was looking down with her legs crossed and a leisurely smile, offered her a hand.

“Hand.”

“What the hell does this kid think I am!”

chin.

Hilde places her hand on top of Karami’s. Karami raises the corners of his mouth.

“Opposite hand.”

chin.

“Huh… Huh?”

Only then did Hilde realize that something had been wrong for a long time. Karami nodded with a satisfied expression.

“This slave is a tsundere type, judging by his foul mouth but honest body. But he doesn’t like to swear, so I’ll have to educate him separately.”

How to subdue Hilde without stealing her energy.

‘There is nothing better than being enslaved.’

Just give the order by putting the soul in chains and it’ll be done in no time.

But in reality, I don’t like forcing people I don’t like to be my slaves. If they’re story slaves, there’s nothing I can do about it, but other than that, I don’t use my power recklessly.

But Hilde was a rare exception.

‘I cry just thinking about my dog cafe that had to close because of him… sob.’

Personal feelings.

And one more reason.

‘He’s saying he’s never been raised as a slave.’

Hilde, the princess of Vestia, is nothing more than a troublemaker who interferes with Rin’s liberation. She is a frequent extra, but it is impossible to make her a slave.

As a slave enthusiast who has raised slaves, I couldn’t not raise one when the opportunity came.

Hilde, who had fallen from being a princess to a slave in an instant, was unable to accept reality and her pupils were dizzy.

“I guess it still doesn’t feel real. It’s okay! I know very well how to make the relationship between master and slave strong.”

Karami takes the leash out of her arms.

Hilde looks up anxiously.

“Shall we go for a walk?”

***

‘Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking shit!!!’

Late in the morning when people are asleep.

Hilde swallowed the curses in her throat as she walked down the quiet street.

There was nothing strange. Hilde, who was a person who would get anxious if she stayed still, would wander around the city whenever she had the chance.

When he was bored, he would beat up a hyena scavenger like a dog, and hang a sleeping sloth on the top of a tower to watch it the next morning.

Hilde’s early morning walk felt awkward today.

First of all, the field of vision. It is so low that it seems like the field of vision of a baby just learning to walk is just like this.

The second is the posture. The number of bodies touching the cool pavement is four instead of two. They crawl using their two arms like an animal and their four legs.

The last one.

“The cool morning breeze feels good, doesn’t it?”

That you have a companion.

The companion is, of course, Karami. He holds a rope in his hand, and the rope is connected to Hilde’s neck.

Princess Hilde was crawling on all fours through the streets.

Slaves. Among them, the best way to increase affinity with a slave is to take a walk. It can also imprint the master-servant relationship in your mind, so there is no interaction better than this.

“Just make this magic disappear. I’ll tear you apart alive!”

Of course, there are some fierce slaves, but that’s actually good. Isn’t taming these the foundation of slave training and the best content?

The growling Hilde was just a pain in the ass.

“Is it okay to shout like that? You think someone might come when they hear the noise? There’s someone in front of you.”

“What…?”

In front of an inn.

A man smoking a cigarette while getting some fresh air, as if he can’t sleep. He is a human being, with no tail or ears.

“Ugh!”

I can’t show this humiliating sight to anyone. Hilde tries to turn, but Karami grabs her by the leash.

“Oh, where are you going? The road is this way?”

“Hey. Wait a minute…!”

Despite Hilde’s resistance, Karami dragged her towards the man. The man, who had been smoking a cigarette while looking up at the moon, turned his head at the sound.

“Huh? Who’s there?”

“Oh, sorry for startling you. I was just taking a walk with my slave.”

Karami raises his hand holding the rope as if he were looking at it. The man’s gaze follows the rope. There is a single mermaid walking on all fours on the ground.

I couldn’t see his face because he was so embarrassed that he had his head buried in the floor.

“You must be a shameful slave.”

“Yes, I recently took her as my slave. We’re getting to know each other.”

“What kind of paper is it? It looks like a cat, but if you look closely, it looks like a lion… .”

The lion, also known as the king of beasts, reigns as the king of Vestia. If you are a lion man, you have royal blood flowing through your veins.

So this slave is of royal blood? That’s ridiculous.

But it’s a female, and her fur just so happens to be black. Her appearance is similar to that of Princess Hilde of Vestia, who appears to be in her 20s. It looks like a lioness, right?

As the man stares intently, Karami laughs out loud.

“Haha, a lion. How could that be? It’s a cat.”

“Well, I guess so.”

The man was quickly convinced.

Hilde’s notoriety is well known in other countries as well. How could she possibly be a slave of the human race? That’s ridiculous.

“Would you like to stroke it?”

“I like Suin too, but isn’t it a scratch?”

“Haha, don’t worry, our cat doesn’t bite.”

“Hmm, then… .”

The man squatted down and stroked Hilde’s hair. Her hair was smooth and soft, showing that she had been well-maintained.

“Oh, it looks like the owner is quite fond of it.”

“If you are a master, you should know how to take care of your slaves.”

“You really met a good master. From now on, listen to what he says.”

A man who caresses his head and laughs thoughtlessly.

It was probably a blessing that I didn’t see Hilde’s face as she bowed her head.
