The Flower That Was Swallowed by the Beast
Chapter 28
Jamie returned after the meal ended.
“It’s ready, boss.”
“Let’s go, Irie. I have something interesting to show you.”
Because of the talk about the Sleep Stone she had forgotten that Keivrand had said he would show her something fascinating.
Iris got up holding his hand.
They headed for the stable in the corner of the mansion.
On the wide plain in front of the stable, sturdy-looking horses can be seen resting or running comfortably.
The stable was empty, as if all the horses had been let out.
Walking along the path in the middle of the stable, there was a closed door.
Jamie opened the door.
The first thing she saw was Eugene.
Eugene, who was usually cold and expressionless, was looking down and smiling sweetly.
Then, realizing that the door had been opened, his expression quickly changed.
“Boss. Sister-in-law.”
“Long time no see, Eugene. How are you?”
As she spoke cheerfully, Keivrand grabbed Iris’ chin slightly and turned her around.
“What you need to see is this way, not there.”
Iris, who inadvertently turned her eyes, let out an exclamation without even realizing it.
“Ah!”
A small white horse standing close to its mother who was also white.
But the surprising thing was,
“Horn…”
The little horse had a horn.
A long golden horn.
Iris covered her mouth with both hands.
A white horse with a long horn, Iris recognized it. But such a thing was a mythical creature.
“Unicorn…”
She never thought she would see a unicorn in real life.
“Yes, it’s a unicorn.”
“But…the mother doesn’t have a horn.”
The mother looked like an ordinary white horse.
“These guys can hide their horns when they become adults. They have evolved to survive.”
Keivrand pulled Iris’ hand and placed it on the mother horse’s head.
Iris was worried that the horse would bite her hand, but the horse stood still.
Although she couldn’t see anything, she could feel something hard.
“There’s something.”
“Yes, something. White.”
White must be the name of the unicorn.
When Keivrand called her name, an invisible horn appeared.
A golden horn that shines much more brilliantly than the foal.
Iris held her breath and captured the phenomenal sight of a legend becoming a reality.
“Unicorns are smart and strong. They can understand what you say, and they’re very loyal when they accept you as their master. It can also fly in the sky after becoming an adult.”
“It’s the same as the legends…”
“It’s not a legend, Irie. Humans have just given creatures they thought to have gone extinct the wonderful word legend.”
White’s horn disappeared again.
Keivrand looked down at the baby unicorn.
“This kid doesn’t have a name yet.”
“I see. I don’t think you should name it.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Your naming sense is a little…the name White.”
Eugene, who was standing quietly, nodded.
White also seemed to have nodded.
“Well, I couldn’t name her black.”
“Anyway, I think someone else should name this kid.”
“You name it.”
“What?”
“This kid is yours now.”
Iris widened her eyes and looked at Keivrand.
Was he serious?
It was already hard enough to believe that unicorns really exist, but now he was giving her a unicorn as a wedding gift.
If a unicorn can really fly in the sky, shouldn’t Keivrand’s shadows have it?
Iris looked at Eugene. However, Eugene didn’t seem to know what she was thinking.
So she looked back at Jamie this time. Jamie grinned.
“Iris, you take it. We’re not good at parenting…”
“Parenting?”
“Well. What should I say? In fact, we objected to the idea of giving this kid to you as a gift.”
Of course they would.
Such a precious thing.
“It’s not a gift but a curse, sister-in-law.”
Eugene, who was standing silently, stepped in as if he could no longer stand it.
“What?”
“Unicorns are cute. They’re very beautiful and elegant. But…”
Eugene extended his right hand to the unicorn.
And,
Snap-!
Was bitten.
“Look.”
Eugene said without pulling out his hand.
“Unicorns without owners are fierce. Unruly. It took a really long time for the boss to tame White.”
Now Eugene tried to pull out his hand, but the unicorn wouldn’t let go.
“You have to think it’s like raising a three or four-year-old child with no home education, sister-in-law. Do you know what it’s like to have a kid like that?”
Papapa-
She heard the sound of rain.
The baby unicorn was peeing while it held Eugene’s hand in its mouth.
Eugene pointed to the baby unicorn with his left hand, as if telling her to look.
“You need to teach and tame it so it will recognize you as its master. It’s not something anyone can do, sister-in-law. It seems to me that the boss is trying to pass on the parenting to his wife.”
Iris looked back at Keivrand. He was smiling pleasantly.
“Eugene, are you serious?”
“What do you think?”
“A little bit of truth. And a little bit not.”
Keivrand was looking at Iris as if he knew what she was thinking.
“I’m looking forward to it. I hope I can tame this kid.”
“I’m sure it’s not just wishful thinking. You’ll definitely be able to tame this kid.”
It was hard to deal with children in her previous life. She had never been treated like a child since she was young, so she didn’t know how she should treat them.
“Unicorns are so fast that even horses can’t catch up.”
Keivrand held Iris’ hand.
“I want to run with you on these kids.”
Iris tried to imagine herself running with Keivrand on these dazzling unicorns.
But she couldn’t imagine it. It was because she had never ridden before.
‘But…’
In the future, there may be times when Iris has to ride out alone.
It would be useful if she has a unicorn.
“Okay.”
Iris replied.
“Let me be the owner of this child.”
* * *
Iris returned to her room with a load of books from the study room.
[Interesting Fantasy Creatures Dictionary], [Legends of the World], [Creature of Legends], [Fantasy Creatures That Really Exists], [Legendary Creatures for Hunters Guidebook].
Most of them were third-rate magazine-level books that were read for fun and discarded.
Information on unicorns was published in each book since it was an appealing topic.
However, most of them were short lines and only their appearance was written, so Iris still didn’t know what a unicorn’s habits or preferences are.
The information that made Iris appalled was the following.
[Unicorns’ staple food is live mice.]
‘Don’t tell me…it really eats live mice?’
She didn’t want to imagine a cute little creature chomping on a mouse.
“Miss Iris. Why are you reading so diligently?”
Elly, who had been struggling to sit still for a while, asked while Christina was away.
“Do you know anything about legendary creatures?”
“I studied liberal arts at the Academy…”
“How about unicorns? Did you learn what they like?”
“Unicorn? Oh, I think…They enjoy eating big caterpillars.”
“Ah…”
This time it was a caterpillar.
Iris also didn’t want to see the unicorn eating caterpillars either.
“I heard unicorns were real back in the day, and that their personality is…No, their personality is very bad. However, I heard unicorn meat is good for you. Especially unicorn horns. If you eat it, you can even come back from the brink of death. So they were hunted without mercy and eventually went extinct.”
“I see.”
“But why are you asking about unicorns?”
Iris hesitated to tell Elly about the unicorns.
Because it seemed that only Keivrand and his shadows knew of their existences.
“I got a foal as a gift from the Count, so I became interested in unicorns.”
In the end, she decided to lie.
Elly nodded without doubting her.
“Foals are gentle. Scratch the back of their neck, make eye contact, and feed it some carrots. It’ll follow you in minutes.”
The problem is that Iris didn’t think that would work.
“Have you named your horse?”
“Not yet.”
“It’s better to name it first. You have to give it a name if you want to get closer to it.”
Iris had never given a name to a creature.
So she couldn’t think of a good name for the pretty little unicorn.
“It’s a white horse. What would you name it?”
“White horse? Then little white. White.”
“…Ah, is that so?”
Elly’s naming sense was no better than Keivrand.
Closing the book, Iris got up and left the room. She didn’t think she would know more about unicorns by reading books.
She ran into Nathan, who was rushing up the stairs.
“Oh, sister-in-law! Good morning.”
Nathan paused and bowed.
“Good morning, Nathan. Where are you going?”
“The boss called me to do something. Oh, right. Sister-in-law, I heard you got a unicorn?”
“Yes, that’s what happened. Do you have any advice?”
“Well. Advice, advice…”
Nathan folded his arms and furled his eyebrows.
Nathan, who was deep in thought, stared seriously at Iris and spoke.
“Be careful not to get bitten. It’ll be able to kick backwards when it grows up, so you can’t stand in the back. You’ll get kicked. But it’s not good to stand in front of it. You might get rammed by its horn. It would be better to just throw it a fresh carrot and watch from afar.”
“That’s very useful advice.”
Nathan smiled brightly.
“Be careful, sister-in-law. If you get hurt, Cel will kick the boss.”
“If I’m hurt, why would she…?”
“Because the boss gave his wife such a dangerous and terrifying gift.”
A dangerous and terrifying gift.
She was losing confidence.
Will she be able to tame that little kid?
As she was walking through the garden after leaving the main building deep in thought, Iris stopped when she heard something.
She could see gray hair through the neck of the garden. The late Count and his wife were walking in the garden.
She had forgotten that the late Count and his wife were still here at this mansion.
Perhaps she should go greet them, she thought.
In her previous life, Alfred’s parents had waited in front of her room in advance. They got very angry when she didn’t greet them in the morning.
They would say she didn’t learn anything and didn’t know anything, and that she was a good-for-nothing. That kind of thing was a regular occurrence in the mansion…
Iris hurried to where the late Count and wife were.
“Oh, Irie. Did you sleep well?”
Fortunately, Helena didn’t look upset.
“Yes, mother. I’m sorry. I should have said hello.”
“Hmm? Hello? Oh, hello. She’s saying hello, dear.”
“Hahaha…”
Wyvern smiled as if he was amazed.
Iris couldn’t understand the reaction of the two. They weren’t angry and they weren’t laughing at her.
“That’s very polite of you, Irie. I’ve never received a good morning from my kids…Right, that kind of thing does exist.”
Helena seemed really surprised.
Only then did Iris relax. She had decided to live a life different from the past, but she still couldn’t escape the trauma of her past life.
The Green family is different from the Whittle family and the Hutch family.

“By the way, I’m glad you’re here, Irie. I wanted to ask you something.”
Staring at Iris with her amber eyes, Helena asked.
“How do you think we should treat Duke Whittle and his wife?”
