“Are you feeling okay?”

“I’m not you, I’m Bebe.”

“Subordinate.”

“I’m not a subordinate. I’m my dad’s daughter. My name is Bebe!”

With this kind of talk, he could just call me Bebe, but Sylvie was determined.

“Yes, subordinate.”

“Well, I guess that’s true. I’m also my dad’s servant.”

Rather, it was Sylvie who was embarrassed by what I said.

“Are you giving up that easily?”

“Huh?”

“No, it’s nothing. Anyway, are you okay? You must be in a pretty bad condition.”

“Yes!”

Even though I said it was okay, Sylvie looked uncomfortable.

“Why? Is there a problem?”

In the meantime, I jumped up from my seat. It’s just that my body was a little stiff since it’s been happening often from the past, but I was still fine.

“…You probably don’t feel as good as usual.”

“That’s right! But it’s okay because it happens sometimes. It’s much better when Sylvie touches my hair like this.”

He stretched and stretched, then sat down and leaned against the bed. Then, I made eye contact with Sylvie.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes!”

“Was it always like that?”

“Yes! Sometimes, but there are days like this! But I’m not sick or anything. Don’t worry!”

This was better than being hit and getting sick. However, as if only I thought so, Sylvie sighed and took a step closer to me.

“Are you used to it?”

“Huh? What?”

“It shouldn’t be like that.”

There seemed to be a lot to say, but Sylvie laid on his chin in place as if he had given up something.

“What is it?”

“It’s nothing.”

“I see. Are you going to sleep again?”

“Yes.”

As if bothersome, Sylvie closed his eyes. I sat in front of him and poked his soft nose.

“Sylvie, do you sleep a lot?”

“Growing young wolves sleep a lot.”

“Young wolves?”

Sylvie opened his eyes for a moment, rolling his deep, dark eyes, as if his eyes had captured the night sky.

“You just said you were a young wolf, Sylvie. Are you a kid?”

“… No.”

“That’s right!”

Sylvie’s eyes, which moved quickly, seemed very honest.

“…No, I’m not a kid.”

His way of speaking changed for a moment. Sylvie, who had only spoken in a dignified way all the time like the Grand Duke, lost his serious voice like a child.

Rather, it was cute enough to match the dog’s appearance now.

“No, I like it now! Your voice is so cute!”

“Originally, wolves should have dignity. I said so.”

“… Is that why you said that?”

“Why is it not good?”

I nodded my head loudly.

“Yes! You look like an old man! But you’re young!”

“…What do you mean ‘old man’? I’m young!“

“So talk like you just did. Your voice and the way you talk suits you better.”

I smiled and hugged Sylvie. His pointed snout and limbs swaying in the air were just as cute as a doll.

On top of that, even his belly was dense with silver fur. It was so cute that I instinctively put my nose on his stomach.

Then, a sweet scent hit my nose.

“I like the scent!”

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing? You smell sweet!”

“You’re the first human to bring their nose to my stomach. This is… My pride as the Silver Wolf is hurt!”

“Why would your pride get damaged when I sniffed your belly? Then you do it, too!”

After smiling brightly, I tried to bring Sylvie to do the same. However, Eun-dol, who had just been on my stomach well, was busy struggling.

“That’s it!”

“Why? I saw a dog somewhere and it smelled like feet.”

I put my nose on Sylvie’s paws that pushed against my face. It really was fragrant, like a book.

“It smells sweet!”

“Stop it!”

“Why!”

“Shame! Are you saying my feet smell?”

“Yes!”

“…”

At my words, Sylvie jumped down as if he had been greatly hurt and ran somewhere. He even kicked like a foal.

“Where are you going?”

“You don’t have to know. I was worried, but my belly… my paws… what a shame…”

He ran into the bathroom. I hopped down and followed Sylvie to the bathroom. Then, he turned the water on with his plump paws and washed his feet.

“Are you washing your feet because of me? But we’ve already washed your body. When I said your paws smell…”

“Huh? When was I washed up? This… This body of the dignified Silver Wolf has been washed?!”

Sylvie, who rubbed his paws together with soap, fell to the floor.

“Yes, while you’re sleeping. You really didn’t know?”

“Did you really treat me like a dog?”

“Yes! Like my own pet!”

“I can’t help myself here. I’m treated like a dog, but I’m actually a silver wolf!”
