‘If she’s hungry, why doesn’t she just eat what’s before her?’
Kiel’s pale skin and amber eyes looked like they’d be rather sweet.
Bella glared at Zhanbar and took Kiel’s hand.
‘Don’t worry. Even if there are demons from the demon world, police officers will protect citizens like you!’
Zhanbar couldn’t help but think, ‘It looks like he has a very strong heart, too. The boy doesn’t look bad for a servant.’
Although Zhanbar hungrily gazed at Kiel, his expression remained stoic.
“Do you want to be my servant?” Bella asked.
Kiel eagerly nodded as if he had been waiting for her to ask.
‘He doesn’t look like he has anywhere to go, but he has to work hard.’
Kiel was the first person Bella had met in this world.
If she was able to get along with this kid, she’d probably do well in the human world.

Bella held Kiel’s hand until she exited the Wizard’ Tower and went to town.
“Do you want to be my servant?” Bella asked again.
Kiel nodded once more.
I knew he had a large future ahead of him.
In the past, he had struggled to make a living on his own.
The only reason Kiel was able to survive on his own was because of his divine power.
Bella thought it would be safer to travel with him, someone who could control divine power.
Although she had an adult guardian—the leopard—she still wanted to bring Kiel along.
‘If you call me princess, you’ll have to face the consequences.’
However, as far as Kiel remembered, nothing like this had happened in the past.
But maybe, this path would be a better one to walk down.
He didn’t want to suffer through hell again, not when a new opportunity like this presented itself to him.
‘I’ve got to stay with her until I’m able to stand on my own.’

At last, Bella arrived at the inn she had been searching for.
[The largest inn in Aloha! Have a shower!]
As soon as Bella opened the door of the inn, the quiet inn because noisy.
“Are you going to eat?” a waiter asked Zhanvar, but Bella replied to him.
“We’ll have the most expensive meal for three people and two rooms.”
The waitress was able to tell that this was a young noble lady and her guardian just by looking at the atmosphere. Hence, the waitress prepared the best room and meals without questioning them.
Bella, Kiel, and Zhanbar sat at a round table, and eventually, their hot meat and soup came out together.
‘Oh, my God—this is the meat I’ve only been able to see in cartoons.’
It was more commonly known as ‘magic meat’.
Bella wanted to pick up the meat with both hands, but because it was so hot, she worked with a knife.
“I don’t know why humans bother to eat.”
“Don’t talk to me. I’m in a bad mood.” Bella glared at Zhanbar before returning her focus to her meal. She relished in the aroma and the texture of the meat that melted on the tongue.
Bella felt like she’d curry from the joy.
“I’m going to dip it in the soup.”
It looked so delicious that Zhanbar’s mouth began to salivate.
“You’re going to dip it in there?”
Zhanbar’s pupils dilated as Bella shoved the meat into his mouth.
“Mmmm!”
“Delicious, huh?”
“It’s amazing.”
“Is it better than eating people?”
Zhanbar didn’t answer, but he began to gobble down the meat at an alarming rate.
‘Why isn’t the boy eating any?’
Kiel had been silently watching them eat, despite the growling of his stomach.
With a fork, Bella dipped a piece of meat into the soup and put it up to Kiel’s mouth.
“He said it’s delicious. You should try it, too.”
Kiel slightly opened his mouth as he looked at Bella.
“Good job. Eat it up. You don’t know how to use a fork?”
Kiel flushed at Bella’s words, so she grabbed Kiel’s right hand and handed him the fork.
“Come on. Forks are pretty simple.”
Bella grabbed Kiel’s right hand and pulled it up to his mouth.
“This is how you use it.”
Kiel hesitated before opening his mouth and taking the meat into his mouth.
“Well done, my servant.”
When Bella patted Kiel’s head, Zhanbar grumbled unhappily.
“Why do you need a servant that can’t even use a fork?”
“It looks like he’s an orphan. I doubt anyone taught him. He’ll be a fine servant,” Bella gritted as she stared at Zhanbar. “He’ll learn by living.”
“We knew everything as soon as we were born,” Zhanbar retorted.
“Wait! Don’t throw up on me!”

True to the sign, this inn was the largest in the village.
There was a co-op public shower room for washing.
Unlike Bella, who was excited, Zhanbar frowned at the sight of the strange facility.
