Sold to a Prince!

Sylvia released all her bottled-up resentments at the same time letting out a loud scream, without even thinking about how the beasts around her would react.

She didn't care rather. She already had enough of living like this.

She was too weak and she wanted to change badly. She felt caged and suffocated by her daily life. 

And the way that the man toyed with her… day in and day out…

She was just about done with everything.

So she shouted, venting out all the grievances in her heart.

But as she shouted… instead of the girlish high-pitched scream that should have sounded…

Kara Ka Roar!

A powerful deafening roar came out instead. 

Sylvia's blue eyes became bright golden in color and she stood there, her body trembling, only a deafening silence surrounding her.

All the beasts had instantly shut up as if a heavenly decree was passed on them. They didn't dare open their mouth even to breathe.

They just stood still, silently staring at the young woman in front of them, their eyes containing a mixture of fear and reverence.

Sylvia, on the other hand, was too disturbed to notice what had actually happened. She only thought that she had screamed out loud in a fit of anxiety and panic.

She stood there panting and in shock from her own unexpected outburst, but she was glad that it at least made the beasts surrounding her finally shut up.

She then remembered something and looked up to see if Leol was once again staring down at her. The man had already labeled her dumb and now he was going to label her crazy as well. Sylvia sighed.

"Ah~ Wait a minute. There is that spell thing right? He couldn't have heard me scream like a little girl?" She gulped hopefully.

And just as she had hoped for, the man still seemed to be lazily lounging on the chair with the blanket over him in that same pose without any movements.

Phew! Sylvia patted her chest.

She then turned around to once again face the scary beasts in front of her. Sylvia looked at them, blinking a few times.

She couldn't exactly put her finger on it, but for some reason, the beasts seemed a bit different now…

It was very bizarre and surreal.

She had been so scared that her legs were about to give out just seconds ago but now she wasn't afraid of them in the least?

She no longer even felt that oppressive violent aura typically belonging to a magical beast. They might as well be dogs and kittens!!!

That too, some of them were looking at her with adorable cute expressions.

Sylvia gulped, having no idea of what just happened, but she loved it.

She clenched her fists and slowly stepped closer to the white tiger which was just a few inches away from her.

"Ah~ Good kitty. Good kitty. Don't eat me, please. Here have some meat." 

She bent down to retrieve a piece of raw steak from the meat bucket which Leol had given her and tossed it to the tiger.

The tiger immediately purred, trembling in fear? It chewed and swallowed the meat in a second as if someone had forcefully ordered it to.

Sylvia gulped, whatever fear remaining in her heart also slowly fading away. She squatted next to the tiger, staring at its face closely, and tossed it another steak.

The tiger nodded its head and quickly gobbled up this one as well, even looking up at Sylvia with expectant eyes as if it wanted her to praise its actions.

Sylvia was dumbfounded. What the hell? She couldn't catch it before but now she did.

She looked around and all the ferocious beasts were giving her similar cute and adorable looks, yearning for her affection.

"These beasts… Damn it. Were they always this harmless? I guess that's why Leol looked at me like I was an idiot. Aha Ha Ha." Sylvia wiped the sweat off of her face and giggled.

It seemed that earlier she was too scared to notice what was obvious and in front of her eyes. 

The young woman sighed in relief and hesitantly extended her hand to pet the tiger in front of her.

Rrrr… Brrr… The tiger as well contently purred.

"Aha Ha Ha. That's a good boy. You really aren't that bad huh?" Sylvia shook her head helplessly.

She petted the cute tiger for a few more minutes and then started tending to the other beasts one by one.

Tigers, panthers, wolves, bears… who knew ferocious beasts like these could be so cute!

The more she played with them, the more Sylvia fell in love with them. 

Bear hugs, wolf tickles, tiger kisses, panther licks… things took a turn for the better excessively fast.

"What the hell is this?" Sylvia covered her mouth and chuckled. Beasts in this castle were unmistakably better than humans!

The weird thing was that she didn't even have to do the chores any longer. While some of them played with her, the others took care of everything by themselves.

Even Leol who caught a glimpse of whatever was happening inside almost stumbled and fell out of the chair.

"Young lady! This…! How on earth did you manage this? Woah." He slowly walked in, looking around, gaping in awe.

Every single magical beast looked domesticated. 

Unlike Sylvia, Leol was much more experienced. He knew that these hooligans were probably behaving this docile only in her presence.

The minute she left, they would inevitably become revert back to their wild ferocious nature.

But this was not something new. Leol had already seen this kind of phenomenon several times in his life.

Some people have a natural bond with the beasts and more importantly, these people have an exceedingly high mana affinity.

They are so attuned to the nature and heavens that even the beasts recognize them as their kin.

And this feat was not simple at all. Not everyone can manage this. And those who did were exclusively extremely powerful mages. 

But to see this sort of behavior with this lowly maid??? He couldn't be more perplexed.
