"AFTER YOU, Princess Neoma," Gina said while politely gesturing the stone pavement that the black cat man created a while ago. "Or would you rather walk behind me? I understand if you can't trust your back on me, Your Royal Highness."

"Nah, it's fine," Neoma said as she walked past the butler. "It's not that I trust you, Gin. I just have faith in my Tteokbokki."

Upon mentioning her Soul Beast, Tteokbokki released an enormous amount of bloodlust directed at Gin. It was a warning that her Soul Beast was keeping an eye on the black cat man. Usually, she would tease Tteokbokki for suddenly acting "cool." But she knew that it wasn't the right time and place to tease the donkey-sized unicorn– uhm, red dragon.

"I can see why you're confident and relaxed even if you're in an unknown territory, Princess Neoma," Gin commented later. "Aside from your naturally strong Mana, your Soul Beast is also very strong."

She just shrugged.
