Bab 293: "Spread The News"

"Impossible...that's not true...how...how could this be?" Lael looked at Ainsley with a blank gaze. 

He kept muttering 'impossible, impossible', not wanting to admit whatever the young monster tamer just said. 

How could a wild monster act so tame around a human? 

Even if the human were a monster tamer strong enough to tame it, without making a contract, it wouldn't willingly follow the human. 

It would simply choose to run to avoid being enslaved as a contract monster. 

But this baby? She didn't make a contract with the monster...but the monster followed her around as if it was her contracted monster? 

Is the monster a bootlicker or what?! Or is it a different case with a mutant monster? 

Lael would rather believe that a mutant monster might act differently than other non-mutant monsters. 

He would believe anything as long as it didn't show off the baby's mysterious might!
