nSylvia released all her bottled-up resentments at the same time letting out a loud scream, without even thinking about how the beasts around her would react.

nShe didn't care rather. She already had enough of living like this.

nShe was too weak and she wanted to change badly. She felt caged and suffocated by her daily life.

nAnd the way that the man toyed with her… day in and day out…

nShe was just about done with everything.

nSo she shouted, venting out all the grievances in her heart.

nBut as she shouted… instead of the girlish high-pitched scream that should have sounded…

nKara Ka Roar!

nA powerful deafening roar came out instead.

nSylvia's blue eyes became bright golden in color and she stood there, her body trembling, only a deafening silence surrounding her.

nAll the beasts had instantly shut up as if a heavenly decree was passed on them. They didn't dare open their mouth even to breathe.

nThey just stood still, silently staring at the young woman in front of them, their eyes containing a mixture of fear and reverence.

nSylvia, on the other hand, was too disturbed to notice what had actually happened. She only thought that she had screamed out loud in a fit of anxiety and panic.

nShe stood there panting and in shock from her own unexpected outburst, but she was glad that it at least made the beasts surrounding her finally shut up.

nShe then remembered something and looked up to see if Leol was once again staring down at her. The man had already labeled her dumb and now he was going to label her crazy as well. Sylvia sighed.

n

"Ah~ Wait a minute. There is that spell thing right? He couldn't have heard me scream like a little girl?

" She gulped hopefully.

nAnd just as she had hoped for, the man still seemed to be lazily lounging on the chair with the blanket over him in that same pose without any movements.

nPhew! Sylvia patted her chest.

nShe then turned around to once again face the scary beasts in front of her. Sylvia looked at them, blinking a few times.

nShe couldn't exactly put her finger on it, but for some reason, the beasts seemed a bit different now…

nIt was very bizarre and surreal.

nShe had been so scared that her legs were about to give out just seconds ago but now she wasn't afraid of them in the least?

nShe no longer even felt that oppressive violent aura typically belonging to a magical beast. They might as well be dogs and kittens!!!

nThat too, some of them were looking at her with adorable cute expressions.

nSylvia gulped, having no idea of what just happened, but she loved it.

nShe clenched her fists and slowly stepped closer to the white tiger which was just a few inches away from her.

n

"Ah~ Good kitty. Good kitty. Don't eat me, please. Here have some meat.

"

nShe bent down to retrieve a piece of raw steak from the meat bucket which Leol had given her and tossed it to the tiger.

nThe tiger immediately purred, trembling in fear? It chewed and swallowed the meat in a second as if someone had forcefully ordered it to.

nSylvia gulped, whatever fear remaining in her heart also slowly fading away. She squatted next to the tiger, staring at its face closely, and tossed it another steak.

nThe tiger nodded its head and quickly gobbled up this one as well, even looking up at Sylvia with expectant eyes as if it wanted her to praise its actions.

nSylvia was dumbfounded. What the hell? She couldn't catch it before but now she did.

nShe looked around and all the ferocious beasts were giving her similar cute and adorable looks, yearning for her affection.

n

"These beasts… Damn it. Were they always this harmless? I guess that's why Leol looked at me like I was an idiot. Aha Ha Ha.

" Sylvia wiped the sweat off of her face and giggled.

nIt seemed that earlier she was too scared to notice what was obvious and in front of her eyes.

nThe young woman sighed in relief and hesitantly extended her hand to pet the tiger in front of her.

nRrrr… Brrr… The tiger as well contently purred.

n

"Aha Ha Ha. That's a good boy. You really aren't that bad huh?

" Sylvia shook her head helplessly.

nShe petted the cute tiger for a few more minutes and then started tending to the other beasts one by one.

nTigers, panthers, wolves, bears… who knew ferocious beasts like these could be so cute!

nThe more she played with them, the more Sylvia fell in love with them.

nBear hugs, wolf tickles, tiger kisses, panther licks… things took a turn for the better excessively fast.

n

"What the hell is this?

" Sylvia covered her mouth and chuckled. Beasts in this castle were unmistakably better than humans!

nThe weird thing was that she didn't even have to do the chores any longer. While some of them played with her, the others took care of everything by themselves.

nEven Leol who caught a glimpse of whatever was happening inside almost stumbled and fell out of the chair.

n

"Young lady! This…! How on earth did you manage this? Woah.

" He slowly walked in, looking around, gaping in awe.

nEvery single magical beast looked domesticated.

nUnlike Sylvia, Leol was much more experienced. He knew that these hooligans were probably behaving this docile only in her presence.

nThe minute she left, they would inevitably become revert back to their wild ferocious nature.

nBut this was not something new. Leol had already seen this kind of phenomenon several times in his life.

nSome people have a natural bond with the beasts and more importantly, these people have an exceedingly high mana affinity.

nThey are so attuned to the nature and heavens that even the beasts recognize them as their kin.

nAnd this feat was not simple at all. Not everyone can manage this. And those who did were exclusively extremely powerful mages.

nBut to see this sort of behavior with this lowly maid??? He couldn't be more perplexed.
