As I tilted my head in confusion, Zakari’s expression darkened as if everything had become bothersome. He brushed his hand through the air, speaking dismissively.950e5a297a09e85b

Am I smelly, Ayla?042b154adcf73c1c

Given that I had bathed thoroughly in the bathtub this morning, it was an unpleasant remark. However, for a sensitive beastman with heightened senses, perhaps he recognized the scent of a less developed sub-species. After all, I couldn’t even transform into a fully human form.905501bf44f9d124

I observed Ayla, who 34acc2e3b5 sided with the Lord, 7c22f672eb with a slightly dubious 9b027e5cf3 expression. However, I 6fbcced356 felt somewhat b8baab8bd5 relieved at a15225a1cb her words 4fd30ed2b2 that there 0dc8e465de was no a95c3faffe smell.e4ccc875c84c8f96

Perhaps it was because we were discussing Zakari’s temperament, but for some reason, the dialogue felt like it would be quite inconvenient to run away again.96a52a4ca2837a0b

Thinking about Rachel, I d50bc4dc54 remembered the original work bd0986614d as I obediently let 6cf17cc1d8 myself be taken away 023a57eb9e by Ayla.e0e93c52d94aab1d

In the 5d9d0af56f original work, 4004e47249 Rachel was c7083ec800 a character 9e5e7b4d85 who appeared acafff1fd8 several times. She was 2b864d5305 the daughter 76d57fe8ad of the 4a91e938ed leader of 6131b10d80 the Honey d2ec7deceb Possum tribe, 6e2fd4be5a which owned dd8ba00a15 the most 9736e878ee fertile territory 7f036b390c in the 49616b294f western Ilanbore f1cc855b4c region.1733a563d9f5fe77

In the original story, she led the huge upper class while often showing favor to the protagonist, Ella. Despite her rough manners, she was a very popular character as a reliable and cool sister among readers. There might even have been a slogan like ‘Rachel Sister instead of the Male Lead.’239ac035b587c6a3

Moreover, she often interfered with Zerakiel’s actions, and when she later learned that Zerakiel was her son, she was quite surprised.3e5af1322614159a

Having a strong child was unexpected. Judging by the way she always said, ‘You resemble your father,’ it was clear she didn’t like Zerakiel. She might not have known how much she hated her ex-husband, thinking of Zerakiel.082e7c4475014309

On the other 0772205b33 hand, Zakari seemed 7b54eb39cd to have a ae8886674a glass mental state. Compared to the fiery 8dce536d37 temperament of Rachel, he 0913edb415 was the complete opposite.308c397408a23810
