Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

"Thank you".

As though he wasn't expecting my appreciation of thanks, he stood stunned for several minutes until he smiled and bowed a little in my direction.

"I hope you enjoy the meal Prince Wyatt" He said.

"I will. You can leave".

Nodding his head in response, he left. Leaving me along with the mouth-watering delicacies that assaulted my sense of smell and made my stomach tighten as though it tried to squeeze out whatever it could from my body.

"I hope it was as good as it smells".

Walking towards the small dinner table, I halted as I saw something that made me frown.

Is that a rat?

It seems that it must have tasted the aroma in the air just like me and had decided to come to have a share of its meal.

Though I was never a fan of rats, I didn't hate them either.

It was more like watch your lane and I will watch mine.

I had no problems setting poisonous traps for them if they tried to invade my home or throw them some of the food when I walked across the roads.

They were vermins, but you can't help but admire their capability to live and survive.

This was probably one of the reasons society still has problems dealing with them in the 24th century.

Walking towards it silently, so that it wouldn't be startled away by my movement, I reached out and grabbed it by the neck.

It wriggled for the fate of its life in my palms as it tried to wrestle its way to freedom, but the more it move, the more my hands tightened.

And soon it stopped.

Looking at it, surprisingly I could see a hint of intelligence in its eyes.

I couldn't help but guess that it might have something to do with the help of mana which might have given it a minor intelligence compared to its counterparts back on earth.

Seeing its path of survival was blocked, it stopped struggling knowing that it was futile and waited for its demise.

Or was it waited for for a chance to catch me off guard and escape?

Interesting, I can't wait to find out more.

Looking at the book that was still open on top of my table, I smile as I walked towards it.

I had a plan.

Since I didn't couldn't go fishing for a beast considering how dangerous the oceans in this world would be if they were thousands, no, millions of magical beasts with unknown strengths and abilities swimming around, I couldn't afford to be careless and risk the second life that has been given to me.

So I am left with two only options, either I make it to land first. But I don't think that I am willing to wait that long.

So that leaves me with my second option.

Picking up the knife beside me, I felt the rat in my hand tremble.

Does it know what am I about to do?

Or does it think I wanted to dissect it?

Whichever way, I didn't dwell too much on it as I thought if I really wanted my first tamed beast to be a rat.

I know that I was discriminating against it. But come on, imagine standing across a sword man as your opponent and then sending a rat to attack or counterattack him.

Yeah, it was funny in my head. But if such a thing happened right now, then my death was imminent.

So, I am only using this for my experimentation. Besides, I can tame two more beasts currently and I was sure that the number would grow in the future.

So until I find a better and much more capable beast, this little guy would do for now.

Nevertheless, I wonder what the 'Happiness god' would say about my first recorded beast being a rat

He might say nothing though judging by his character.

But still, who knows?

This little rat might hold some imaginable secrets.

That was only an imagination to soothe my feelings.

I had no high expectations, and neither did I expect anything special.

"Here we go" I said, flipping over to a new page as brought the knife closer to its back.

I made sure not to push the knife too deep and only stopped when I saw blood dripping out of it.

Although the rat wriggled a bit due to the pain, I was still surprised that it didn't attempt to bite me or scratch its nails against my fingers.

Smart though!

Because if it had done any of that, I had no problem looking for another rat to try out my experiment again.

Because where there was one rat, there was bound to be 3 or 11 more.

The numbers just depend on how much food you have in your house plus how many days they planned to overstay their welcome.

But they were in the middle of the ocean, so the highest they could do was commit suicide by jumping into the sea to escape from my grasp.

And judging by the intelligence the little guy had shown, I wonder what such a sense would look like.

"Drip!!" "Drip!!!"

Lowering the rat down so that its blood would pour on the pages of the book faster, it didn't take long until I saw the blood being absorbed by the book and some words appeared on its pages.
