*****
Rumors that began to spread from the Kingdom of Teres, and also rumors about Zeno’s identity, spread all over the place.

Even an anonymous aristocrat, even a count-level who is not lacking enough to be called the real power of the country, made a report under his name.
If you do, your reputation may be seriously harmed, and you may be cursed for deceiving you. It was truly a gamble.
But Count Camar has sufficient grounds to say that. First of all, I maintained my neutrality during the trial, and even though I was noticed, I didn’t curse at me.
Compared to other nobles, he has the least favoritism, and he has a hole through which he can escape. you can put it back on me
That the kingdom could be shaken? There is a possibility that, based on the shaking, they secretly change the kingship or do something equivalent to it.
Of course, this is no different than a coup, so it’s literally a possibility, and I’m not thinking about it.
To be honest, it was a coup d’état and the country seemed to be shaken, but a wise leader should think about that first.
Anyway, this is roughly what Count Camar reported through the newspaper.
[Xenon is from the Minerva Empire.]
[Xenon is not a wise man, but he has the same wisdom as a wise man.]
[Xenon is a man with red hair and golden eyes.]
Although there are only three clues, there are very few people in this world with red hair.
Besides, he mentioned his golden eyes and his place of origin, so the scope is infinitely narrowed.
However, I don’t know where the story of having the wisdom equivalent to a sage came from. Maybe it’s to express the nuance that I’ve met him in person.
Still, I wasn’t lying, so I just had to wait for the rice cakes to heat up one by one.
“Well······”
“·······”
“Umm…”
“······Why?”
It’s been three days since the rumors spread through the Minerva Empire and Halo Academy.
I’m used to other people staring at me, but I’m not used to Leona staring at me.
Leona is going to come out and work as a teaching assistant, so we met more often than last time.
Same today. He met Leona’s favorite steak as well to talk about buying and selling her, but she just stares at her like she is now.
He looks at me with a bite of steak in his mouth, he looks at me as he chews his bones, and he looks at me as he licks the remaining sauce with his tongue.
“Red hair… golden eyes… umm…”
“·······”
“It is as smart as a sage… and that seems to be the case…”
So, I’d rather just ask the question outright. I laughed out loud when I realized what Leona was suspicious of.
She is known externally as a bum-saeng who only studies, but in reality, she is very interested in world affairs.
I heard you said that you read the newspaper I’m subscribed to. If she said she wasn’t interested in politics, even though she was the daughter of his third wife, that would be strange as it is.
I opened my mouth leisurely, not paying attention to Leona’s suspicious gaze.
“Why? I wonder if I’m Xenon or not?”
“Yeah. Because what’s in the newspaper is just you.”
Leona answers while muttering a steak. It is really cute because the animal ears and tail are completely exposed.
I smiled weakly at Leona’s really pet-like appearance and shrugged my chin. I gnawed her chin and said Leona, gulping her steak.
“Why are you looking at me like that? You eat steak, too.”
“Because it’s cute when you eat happily.”
“·······”
As everyone knows, Leona is particularly weak at complimenting her looks. She still blushes when she compliments me that I’m cute, and her prickly ears tickle.
The way the tail wiggles here and there is a clear expression of joy.
‘Come to think of it, he wasn’t very good at hiding his emotions.’
Leona has a cynical personality on the outside, but the moment she exposes her ears and tail, she becomes very candid.
In fact, perhaps because of the pressure to hide his identity, his personality has become ferocious.
In particular, Leona, unlike me, has to press down on her real personality, so in a way, it can be seen that she is more than me.
In essence, a person becomes mentally healthy only when his desires are satisfied or his true form is revealed. In the case of Leona and I, they are relieved by eating steak with me.
“By the way, what would you do if I were Xenon?”
“Yes?”
“I asked what you would do if I were Xenon.”
“Aren’t you thinking?”
Seeing his sullen expression on his face, he seemed sincere. I must say, unlike other people, Leona was connected to me because of his customs.
The problem is her mother, not her. She had no idea what her mother’s attitude would be.

Even the third wife would not be without political insight. She has never met face to face, but she remembers proudly saying that Leona was wise in person.
I don’t know how that wisdom will be activated, but there is a very high possibility that it will take Leona away from me.
Still, I’m not happy with Leona being my wife. This is a fact that Leona told her, not herself.
“Isn’t your mother dissatisfied with us?”
“I do. But do I like you?”
“In what sense?”
“Everything except the face.”
“Yeah… what?”
I was trying to convince myself, but when I heard that it was everything except the face, I couldn’t help but be startled. It’s embarrassing to say this out loud, but objectively, my face is good-looking.

Even by the standards of an elf who is praised as the crystal of beauty, it belongs to the glamorous side. In addition to this, rare red hair and golden eyes.
Leona made a bewildered expression on the contrary when I was absurd. However, she soon responded with an ah, realizing it and explained.
“Actually, it must be based on the number of people. By the standard of the number, you look like a female, so you’re not a very popular face. Above all, you don’t look like my older brother or Jin-Ai, do you?”
“·······”
“Still, I like your red hair and eyes, so don’t worry about it. I’m still more used to the culture of beasts than humans.”
Obviously, different cultures have different standards of beauty, so I can understand Leona’s reaction. Still, it doesn’t change that I’m dumbfounded.
“That… Isaac?”
“Yes?”
“You don’t hate me, do you?”
Leona asked in a cautious voice when she couldn’t get out of the shock. As soon as I heard the question, I was blown away.
I’ve been asked the same question before. It wasn’t that I didn’t like it back then, but rather the opposite.
However, seeing the same question being asked, it seems that he did not abandon his doubts.
“Absolutely not. As I said before, when a beautiful woman like you clings to you, what kind of man would refuse?”
“Then when are you going to mate?”
“Uh… mating?”
“yes.”
The word mating makes my mind wander. The same is true of humans, but beasts place a lot of meaning on mating, that is, s*xual intercourse.
An act of a male giving a seed to a female and at the same time labeling it as his property.
It is considered the most effective way to dominate females due to the characteristics of the culture of the beasts, who maintain a rather savage custom.
In other words, Leona wants me to dominate her. There are many things to think about.
“Look. You are hesitant to answer me because you have no intention of controlling me.”
“Dominating a woman doesn’t mean you like it. It’s not a feeling like love, it’s possessiveness.”
“Then how can I make you like me?”
“What?”
“How can I make you like me and even mate with me? I can do whatever I ask.”
Leona said seriously with a face without a single joke. He calmly put down his knives and forks, which he had been playing around with to eat the steak.
I smiled bitterly as I faced her infinitely serious. How can I tell her to convince her?
After thinking about this for a while, Leona’s ears, who were waiting for my answer, stood up.
It’s Leona’s habit of reacting only when she has a good idea. Seeing that it stands up to its tail, it seems that a pointed number came to mind.
“Yeah! This way should work!”
“How?”
I am anxious because it is Leona who has a common sense that is completely different from the common sense I have.
After that, she flashed her golden eyes, which had suddenly changed, and informed me with excitement.
“If owning me is difficult, why not make it that way?”
“yes?”
“You’re making me possessive. How about it? Isn’t it okay?”
If it’s like a beast, should I say it’s like a beast? I was blown away by the simple and clear solution.
At the same time, I doubt Why did she choose me over other men?
No matter how much the culture of the beasts, I indirectly gave the signs that it was difficult several times, but I did not give up until the end.

Even her mother thought it negatively, and it was difficult to understand in many ways.
“Are you sure it’s me? A better man besides me…”
“You say Xenon. Is there a better man than you, or is there anyone else?”
“·······”
“I said this knowing I was going to be like this. Wait. I’ll follow you to the end even if I bite your balls with my mouth.”
Leona smiled boldly enough to expose her fangs and declared confidently.
Why does it remind me of a male lion who is bitten by a lioness and makes an unfair expression?
Seeing her expression like that, I smiled and shook my head. She doesn’t seem like a woman to give up easily.
“Then what are you going to do to make me possessive? I’m curious about this.”
“You should think about it slowly.”
“Umm… can I ask you one thing?”
“What?”
I wanted to see you at least once. I hesitated a little, then asked Leona in a cautious voice.
“Stand up for a second.”
Drooling-
Leona stands up obediently even with a puzzled expression on my request. Her waving tail spoke of her feelings.
I coughed as I stared at her, who had a unique beauty whenever I saw her.
It was embarrassing to bring it out of my mouth, but I think it would be okay because Leona declared war first.
Watching this, I also got up from my seat. Then, after facing her, I took what I wanted out of her mouth.
“Once you raise your hands…”
“Raise your hands.”
“Act like you’re putting your claws up.”
“like this?”
Leona showed a menacing gesture while raising her claws like a beast according to my words. I’ve made a final request here to the Fire Dragon.
“And shout like a roar!”
“Kang!”
The ripple effect of a single action could never be ignored. I was serious about other things, but in my eyes, it was just a big cat playing aegyo.
Wouldn’t it be acceptable to have such a cute and lovely ‘pet’? It is the yard where you start to recognize yourself as your property.
I coughed again while suppressing the possessive lust that was rising from within. If you ask me to do this, I think I’ll even make a strange request.
“…Okay. This should be enough.”
“Umm… yes? Are you possessive?”
“any.”
“Aww!!”
Maybe he liked my honest answer, or Leona repeating the same thing even though I didn’t ask.
When I put on a shaky expression on him, he pouted his tongue and scratched his head as if he was too shy.
“Hehe. Wasn’t this a little bit?”
“·······”
I wanted to pull out that protruding tongue, but I managed to suppress it.
A few days after I told Leona about my identity like this.
[Isaac. As soon as you see this letter, return to the estate.]
I got a call from my father.
[Everyone is mistaken for me as Xenon. Whatever it is, come back soon.]
Really, it contains content that can only make you laugh.
