Rutherford was sure that what he had thought for a brief moment earlier could never be true.
There was no way that Demon, a herbivorous etcher, could have come into this estate from the woods behind their mansion.
After all, that place was not only meant to keep people from sneaking into the Palace but also to keep anyone from escaping it.
Sadly, he was underestimating the loyal beast that his daughter had formed a bond with.
Demon had not only broken free from the shackles that had been used to bind him in the Royal Palace's stables but he had also escaped at an opportune time.
He had then journeyed through that same forest and reached the St. Claire's grazing field where he finally met his Master.
This information, very few people were aware of, one being the beast himself and the others were the future Grand Duke of this Kingdom and his trusted subordinates.
Used 'fated' way too many times in this chapter!
