The Villainess Is A Beast Tamer
“Sorry, Theron doesn’t like guests,” she sneered, glaring at the man who decided to bother her. with a finger still on the collar of the large tiger, she walked forward dangerously close to him with her not so little friend in tow. “He’s also not too fond of being interrupted before meal time.” this time, she let go of the collar, allowing the beast to pounce as she licked her lips, watching as the intruder tried to hide behind his arms, only to get bored and pull at the leash right before he was mauled. Bending down, she gave him a good few scratches under the neck and a chaste kiss, before focusing back on him. “Seems like you didn’t wet yourself there, congrats. You did better than we expected.” she laughed, it was then he saw not one more set of eyes, but over twenty sets of predatory gazes on him. “Here’s some friendly advice, your majesty. Try running, and they’ll pounce.” with that, she walked off with her tiger, only to be stopped as he grabbed her wrist, breaking free of his cold sweat. “Please, don’t leave me alone here!” he whimpered, his eyes looked as sad as the wolves whenever she’d stop petting them. closing her eyes, she pondered for a moment. “If I do, will you do me a favor in return?” she asked, her expression never once shifting. nodding frantically, she pulled his own wrist, releasing her’s from his grip and walked him beside her as she took him out and away from the cats. As they continued walking, he tried to break the silence. “Thank…” he started but she interrupted. “Don’t thank me yet. The birds can be quite aggressive when mating, it’s going to be a few minutes, a pure miracle you didn’t die sooner.” she told him, still walking leisurely as she wanted to ensure Theron got his exercise. Gripping his wrist harder as a warning, she finally came to an abrupt stop. “Annul our engagement, and stay away from my family. Do not ever speak to me again.” she ordered, the beast growling up at the prince. “No!” it was now her turn to be surprised as he bowed, head nearly touching the pavement. “Anything but that, I will do anything my lady wants whether it be gold or asking for the most expensive jewelry. But the one thing I will never do is annul our engagement!” His eyes sparkled, and for the first time she saw confidence within them. Just why was he so insistent on marrying her to the point he went from crying to a totally different person! As her mouth hung agape, she heard the yelling of another boy. “Theia!” It was Nyx. ——————————————— What’s worse than finding yourself reincarnated in a novel you read and not being the main character?

A Dream Or Premonition?
Stirring, Theia felt herself enveloped by warmth in her dream, like a warm fur pelt was draped around her. In the dream, she was much older, not a baby, but as herself. Thin black hair falling to her midriff, and light brown eyes, but in front of her sat a large lake.
She couldn't control her body as she looked in, her reflection was that of a woman with silvery eyes that rivaled the brightest gems, and long blue hair, her body dressed in fine silk clothes, and behind her was a large beast, she couldn't make out the animal, but it's fur was pure white, or rather, silver.
Reaching into the water, she tried to tell herself not to, but she did regardless, as all of a sudden her reflection, the woman, grabbed at her aggressively and pulled her in, making her see black before opening her eyes again, this time as the woman, and the beast beside her. The fur begun to smother her, almost so realistically as she gripped at it, digging her nails in to rip it off her.
It was a tail, but her vision became blurry as she gasped out the first thing which came to mind, "Sit." Her voice was barely audible, but the beast sat as its tail fell, resting by her feet, and a collar and leash appeared in her hands. She managed to regain her breath, only for the floor under her to fall into what seemed to be a purple void and the leash broke apart into shining stars, filling it up with constellations.
Waking up her vision stung by wet tears dripping down her cheeks, cries escaping her mouth. "My lady!" She heard a sudden gasp and a maid rushed over to her, picking her up to soothe her. Her dream felt extremely surreal, but it was still a dream regardless, as her reality was this novel world she was stuck in.
Having her tears wiped, she could tell it was morning by the lights and sun shining through the windows, and wondered how long it had been. "I'll take care of her." She heard the voice of her brother, already picking her up and sitting on their mother's bed, except she wasn't there.
He was still wearing the eyepatch, she didn't blame him, he did get stabbed through the eye by a psychopath. "Good afternoon," She heard him murmur, taking her to his chest as he called one of the maids over. "Bring her some milk, I'll feed her."
Bowing, one of the maids obeyed as he asked another for a comb, and begun to comb her hair, albeit badly. Whenever one of the maids tried to get close, his glare made them quiet. Just what happened while she was asleep? "Don't touch her, or I'll chop off your fingers next. Bring her crib to my room now that she's awake."
After finishing his sentence, he left the room with her head tucked into his chest, not once looking back at the blood spewed on the floors behind the other side of the bed he caused. Instead, he was far too focused on taking care of her for the time being.
It seemed to just be a family trait to walk in silence, or perhaps he just didn't want to talk to a baby. After awhile of walking, "Seventh brother!" she heard a male shout out, one of the voices she heard talking earlier during dinner about Penelope. "Is it true that you're participating in the hunt?"
A boy with short caramel brown hair appeared, slinging his arm around Isaac's neck, giving him a noogie. "Careful," he hissed, tightening his hold on her only for the other guy to back off, instead, crouching down to stare at her, poking her nose repeatedly, then squishing her cheeks. "Would you refrain, third brother."
Ignoring him, the other boy continued to squish her. "Wrong brother. She's so squishy, no wonder you're hiding her all for yourself, even ruining my gift how ungrateful." She had no clue what was happening, but was ready to bite his finger if he brought it near her mouth one more time.
"You're lying, again," he hissed taking a step back and now walking towards the opposite direction as the boy followed. "Aww, Einsy," the other male continued to poke at him, but after a lack of reaction left.
Originally, he planned to do some swords practice, but after the encounter he decided to stay in the library and focus on studying, he would need to learn as much about the beasts the previous hunt would let out. Not only that, but just what kind of person was a Beast Tamer. He didn't have any chance to ask his mother, already rushed to the infirmary.
Whatever it was, if the Duke saw value in it, it must be strong. The first wife's son had already made her move, trying to kill off Theia last night as a welcoming gift, if she was announced to have some kind of power which posed a threat they would most definitely attempt to kill her again out of pure entertainment.
"Bobu." She called out, gripping his hair. His face was leaned down slightly but didn't move for nearly a minute. She had no clue what he was thinking, but it was probably not too good. "I'm going to win, and I'm going to ensure mother will survive this terrible event. One day, I'm going to become the Duke and kill off this family."
She never felt fear of her brother so far, but this was enough to make her process he was on the same level as them. She needed to take his advice. Great magical affinity and bloodlust, like a true Argyris, nothing less from a villain son. Just how did someone like him die during the original?
Opening the large doors to the library, she could see from wall to wall to an extremely tall ceilings the Ute amount of books. No one else was in the place, just the two of them as he begun searching for anything regarding beast magic. The more wind he created and blew, he couldn't spot anything regarding them, he would of thought someone stole them if anyone else actually cared to look at the library.
"Mother is a beast tamer, and all the wives have family records within the library. Just where is her's?" He muttered aloud, an odd feeling welling up within her as she recalled her dream of the silver beast. After the night they both had, the two were equally exhausted, but the day had just truly begun.
Panting, a maid burst into the room, the same one she recall picking her up. "Young master Isaac! The young lady has awakened." her voice rang out as she was panting and nearly collapsing to her knees, Isaac immediately placing each book back.
