After reuniting with Fahrenheit, I lazily sprawled out on the bed like a good puppy.
“Woof-woof…”
I wonder if there’s anything I can do to help. I walked around occasionally at my feet, but Farhen simply smiled contentedly and told me to wait.
Like a butler handling a cute puppy.
‘Well, it’s true that for dogs, being lazy and adorable is the most important thing.’
But I’m not a dog! Human!!
“Woof. Wo-Woof.”
I must not forget that fact.
Suddenly, I sat up abruptly from rolling around on the double king-sized bed.
“Woof!”
Then, I approached Hailey, who was writing the invitation to the victory banquet, and gently tapped her back.
Please show me.
“Wo. Wo-woof. Wou-woof.”
“Are you curious about who’s being invited?”
Hailey, smiling sweetly, picked me up and sat me on her lap.
Thanks to that, I could see not only what she was writing with her elegant handwriting but also the various invitations already enclosed on the desk.
Wow, so many…
“Woang…”
‘It seems like all the renowned families with a reputation for strong pheromones are here.’
Not only noble families, but also emerging aristocrats, famous artists, and scholars.
“There are quite a few, right? But among those receiving so many invitations, these are the ones I expect to help with your humanization, miss.”
Hailey showed me four letters.
One from the lion shifter family, known historically for delivering royal messages, called the “Skybreaker Falcon.”
The eldest daughter of the Viscount ‘Reya Aquila.’
Another from the whale-shark shifter family, called “The Trade That Cuts Through Waves,” which is so prominent in the empire’s commerce that no place is without their name.
The second son of Count ‘Viethe Scuallus.’
One from the Anaconda shifter family, known as “The Magic that Devours Death,” currently controlling the Magic Tower, and called the “Death-Eating Magic.”
The third son of the Viscount ‘Uraid Serpens.’
And finally, the last is the former princess, a representative of the royal family, rumored to be the closest in pheromone level to the current Crown Prince, Galahad.
The “Victoria Lilith Galahad,” the former princess.
All of them are important characters from the original story, so naturally, their stories flashed through my mind one by one.
“I’m hoping that Lady Victoria and Lady Reya will help. As for Lord Viethe…”
Hailey frowned.
“Too… much…”
“Wo-oof?”
What’s wrong?
“He likes women. That guy’s a mess.”
Suddenly, Alek entered without knocking.
He swiftly lifted me from Hailey’s lap and sat me on his own.
“Woof?”
Surprised by the sudden change of scenery, I blinked, but he started grumbling.
“Because we’re academy classmates, I know him well. That guy hits on anyone—me, titles, whatever—without hesitation.”
“…Still, I think it’s good that he loves in a healthy way, so I’m giving you an invitation.”
“Healthy way? Then what’s the other way?”
Ah, I see.
Alek, whose mind is completely filled with swords, probably really doesn’t know. But I understand now.
In the future, many of these noblemen will pretend to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their fiancées while secretly wandering into strange places.
“…Woang.”
Yeah, in that sense, Lord Viethe is somewhat tolerable.
Besides, he’s the strongest man in this world’s universe—the “more handsome than women” type.
「He’s basically the protagonist, so being handsome is part of his character, but he’s rugged and wild-looking. Think of him as a male actor.
Viethe has fine, pretty features. You could say he’s a typical handsome male idol type. Even in women’s clothing, it wouldn’t look strange.」
Right after the author’s note, the illustrator uploaded an illustration of Viethe, and wow… just wow…
“—Wo-hut… Wo-huh…”
As saliva dripped from the corner of my mouth, Alek looked horrified.
“Why are you like that?”
“Wo… Woof. Kya-oof!”
No, it’s nothing.
I pretended to shake my head, acting like I didn’t know.
Alek tilted his head in confusion but then returned to the original topic.
“By the way, Hailey, are the Anaconda guys really not our friends? Are they being considered as candidates?”
He’s talking about the Serpens family.
“That’s why I’m inviting the ‘Uraid’ prince.”
“Ah… if it’s that psycho, it should be fine.”
Alek nodded as if he understood.
“—A psycho, you say? Nobles should use more respectful language, young master.”
Hailey scolded, and Alek whistled nonchalantly.
But I could fully understand Alek’s words.
Magicians were called people with loose screws, and Uraid was truly… a psycho.
“Woah.”
Weekly was truly the perfect aide.
As soon as my brother ordered me to publish an announcement, a newspaper company that wanted to run my article visited the duke’s mansion in just half a day.
And it was the most popular newspaper on the continent, with the best-selling writer in person!
“Princess, it’s an honor to meet you.”
“Woang.”
The greeting was very brief.
The person called ‘Bell,’ a light brown-haired writer, looked at me and kept chattering nonstop.
“You know, our newspaper doesn’t bow to power. We’re proud of that. As you know, we even published an article doubting the victory of the current crown prince in the recent battle against the Titans.”
“Woo-wooff.”
Hmm, with all this talk, he really sounds like a ‘sparrow’ shifter.
“To be honest, I think it’s nonsense, right?”
“Woof-woof?”
“That the Zeros crown prince single-handedly defeated the Titans is impossible. Yet, they say there’s no evidence, and when asked for proof, there isn’t any…”
For a while, Bell kept going on about how “I must be right, the truth will come out someday, the royal family is hiding too much,” until a sharp sound of a cane made him suddenly focus.
Alek flicked the sword I was holding with his finger.
He smiled gently, handsome as if he’d just stepped out of a painting, but his tense forehead veins told a different story.
“Uh… ahem. What I mean is, our newspaper’s stance is that the press shouldn’t bow to power or force. But we also came because we must honestly report Lady Lycan’s unfortunate situation.”
“Woang.”
Good, good. Well done.
I nodded at him. Then Bell cleared his throat again.
“—By the way, Princess’s shifter form… really, it’s…”
“Woah?”
“Truly adorable… elegant-looking, even.”
This tiny, insignificant body looks more like something I’d want to put in my mouth and chew on, rather than elegant.
‘—They say they don’t bow to power, but they’re good at flattering, huh.’
Still, being called elegant wasn’t a bad compliment, so I shrugged my shoulders.
“Wo-huh.”
After some small talk, we moved on to the main interview.
The interview was brief.
They said they’d write the article and send it to me once more for editing.
“Is it all set then?”
“Oh, and I think we’ll need some photos to depict your unfortunate situation. Would that be okay?”
Well, photos aren’t really a big deal.
If I don’t show a truly convincing image, suspicion might arise that I’m a shifter with very strong pheromones trying to attract the wrong kind.
“Woaof.”
For example, rebellion.
Lycan can easily be falsely accused of treason because they have a powerful army capable of threatening the royal family.
Of course, historically, they’ve always been loyal, so suspicion hasn’t fallen on them. But you never know.
This Crown Prince Zeros is really… a nasty, dirty guy.
“Ugh, I should have dressed you in more beautiful clothes today if I’d known.”
“Exactly. And look at that messy fur.”
Hailey sighed as she adjusted the ribbon I was wearing around my neck, while Anna kept smoothing out my dress.
“They say the technology has improved these days… Our young lady will surely do well, right?”
Finally, Anna fixed the ribbon on my collar, her eyes gleaming sharply.
A sparrow trying to beat an eagle? Impossible.
Bell, shrinking nervously, kept waving his wings—no, his hands.
“Don’t worry!! These days, magic technology is so advanced that even if we take a quick shot, we can enhance the princess’s figure by 300%!”
“What? You mean my sister’s appearance needs that much enhancement?”
Hearing that, Alek, who had been standing indifferently, suddenly drew his sword.
Bell’s face paled even more.
“No! Of course, the princess is adorable… I mean, elegant and noble, but even more so!”
“Yeah, of course. Who’s sister…?”
Alek nodded with a satisfied look but then stiffened his jaw in an awkward pose. He turned his head away from me with a serious expression.
“Ishel, as a Lycan prince, I said those words because a Lycan princess must have dignity. I’m not siding with you because I think you’re cute, you know?”
“Lord, please stop talking nonsense and leave.”
“The door to leave is on the right.”
“Woang.”
Hailey, Anna, and I all looked at him with icy stares, and Alek left the room as if expelled.
A few days passed.
I still hadn’t transformed back into a human, but whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, I was becoming very accustomed to this situation.
Waking up as Woof-woof, washing, grooming, and eating that tasteless Woang meal.
And about going to the bathroom?
Don’t ask. Don’t even think about it.
The only fortunate thing was that this world was designed for shifters, so the magic-based shifter用品 were very well developed.
Like this one in front of me.
“Woof?”
What is this?
“This is a small dog’s self-defense item. Simply wearing it creates a level 7 defense magic.”
But it’s so cute for a self-defense item, is this real?
“Woof…?”
It’s a bee-shaped one.
