“What, what are you going to do, Baron?”

Jo Malone shook his head as if annoyed at the servant’s question, a child with blood on his head has not dried yet*.

[ T/N: It’s an idiom which means ‘very young man’ or ‘immature.’ ]

He never dreamed that the young Grand Duke and the Emperor would have noticed what was happening in this shapeshifter village, putting him in a corner like this.

He paced anxiously around the room.

Jo Malone’s mind was complicated when he saw the knight of the baron, who was disguised as a servant. He could not get out of here.

…How did he end up here?

A lowly family.

No… Until he became the head of the household, there was no such thing as a family. So, in order to raise the family, he decided to take the hand of Marquis Black, not the Emperor, and eventually came this far.

Dog shapeshifter…?

Jo Malone’s lips twisted upwards at the man’s words.

That impudent puppy was no more than a human. Fragments of the glass bottle with a picture of a dog that had been broken on the floor of the waiting room came to his mind. He knew it the moment he saw the pieces of glass. It was definitely the Grand Duke’s finacée who stood in his way.

〈 “So, if he didn’t like it, you shouldn’t try to touch him like that. It makes you look like a villain.” 〉

The emerald-like green eyes were a rare color that could not be easily seen by shapeshifters. In addition, the fact that her hair, which was almost white, took on a pale pink color whenever the sunlight hit it…?
