This Three-Year-Old Is A Villainess - Chapter 171
I watched with great interest.
Loreina awkwardly smiled and spoke to Abeno.
“Your Highness, is there anything you would like to do?”
“Nothing, really.”
It seemed like there was a speech bubble above Loreina’s head saying, ‘Then why did you come out to play?’
Nevertheless, she forced a smile and asked again.
“Is there anything you usually find enjoyable?”
“There was, but… not here.”
Abeno glanced at the toys and games the third-generation kids had brought with the help of the servants and shook his head.
“How about a sword? We have a treasured sword.”
“Not interested.”
“Or a bow? We have a bow with a magical string that doesn’t hurt even after many shots…”
“Not interested.”
“Do you like horseback riding? I have an excellent thoroughbred…”
“Not interested.”
“We could call for a clown to perform…”
“Not interested.”
“Then perhaps a book…”
“Not interested.”
Already five failures in a row.
I suppressed my laughter.
Loreina’s back was full of tension.
If Abeno were not an honored guest, she would have turned into a beast and struck with her front paws.
Loreina barely managed to lift the corners of her trembling mouth.
“…How unfortunate. I really want to entertain Your Highness, but it’s truly regrettable.”
She stepped back with an expression of genuine regret.
‘If he says no to everything, there’s nothing we can do.’
“Phew…”
Even after that, the third-generation kids kept trying to amuse Abeno, but he remained expressionless.
Dull―.
No matter what they did, his expression was indifferent.
No, now he even looked a bit melancholic.
“……”
“……”
The third-generation kids exchanged glances.
They looked like puppies whining because they couldn’t eat the snack in front of them.
They had to find a way to make Abeno happy, but no matter what they tried, it was no use.
From the host’s perspective, it was a difficult situation with no reaction from Abeno.
‘Now is the time for me to step in.’
Standing a few steps away, watching the third-generation kids and Abeno, I stepped forward.
Fweeep─!
I blew the whistle hanging around my neck with all my might.
After the high and clear sound spread through the air.
Flap! Flap!
The sound of something slicing through the air was heard from afar.
What appeared in the sky was a flying monster.
The monster was flying rapidly towards us.
With each flap of its wings, it closed the distance, causing people’s pupils to dilate.
“A m-monster is flying towards us─!”
A servant shouted in panic.
The previously languid atmosphere instantly turned chaotic.
In a sense, it was an effective way to change the mood.
Servants and employees tried to take the third-generation kids they served to a safe place.
The third-generation kids tried to appear brave in front of Prince Abeno and raised their voices.
“Your Highness, there is nothing to worry about!”
“That’s right! What is there to fear when you are with the direct descendants of the Astra household?!”
“That monster will be dealt with in no time!”
The children who boasted loudly looked around anxiously.
Their eyes seemed to be asking, ‘Where are the guards?’
‘Of course, there’s nothing to fear. But it would be a problem if it’s dealt with too quickly.’
Since that monster is one that I have tamed.
While observing the reactions of the direct descendants, I looked at Loreina.
Loreina’s face was deeply contorted.
‘Loreina recognizes it.’
Well, she had seen it up close, unlike the others who ran away when the monster appeared.
That monster was the same ‘Ragon’ I summoned when competing with Loreina.
I saw some people coming out of panic and sighing in relief.
They remembered that I had the second blessing of <Monster Taming>.
Whiiing, whuung!
As Ragon circled above us, a strong wind blew, as if a typhoon was coming.
“Oh my!”
“Ah! Go away!”
“No, not my scarf!”
The massive Ragon, stirring up a fierce wind.
Even the direct descendants of Astra were still young.
It was only natural for them to feel instinctive fear.
Amid the chaotic children, I spoke in a clear voice.
“Ragon, here.”
Ragon, who was already flying close to people, slowly descended to the ground.
Thud, thud!
With a weight much heavier than an ordinary bird, its landing made the ground tremble slightly.
Ragon was a monster known as the Steel Crow.
Its wings were as hard as steel, and its beak was lined with countless teeth, making it a fearsome flying creature.
It looked like something out of a nightmare.
But once tamed, there was no creature more docile.
Waddle, waddle.
Ragon, having landed in the garden, walked towards me on two legs.
“Well done. Good job, Ragon.”
Caw!
As I patted Ragon’s head, it let out a slightly creepy sound.
I saw people cringing and covering their ears.
Caw, caw!
‘…It does sound like something from the depths of hell.’
