5.2 Dining with the Unusual

Emperor Lucian surveyed the grand hall with a dark gaze, eventually fixing his eyes on the guards.

"Come here!"

The guards nervously approached the stairs, offering a respectful bow.

"Your majesty."

Lucian inquired, "Whose mut is this?"

One of the guards replied, "Yours. He's meant to be trained as a beast hunter, but he managed to escape."

Seraphina furrowed her brow, "He's so small, how can he be a beast hunter?"

Cass shifted his gaze towards Seraphina. The 8-year-old girl embodied innocence and grace, her features exuding a purity that captivated everyone who laid eyes on her.

With cascading blond locks framing her angelic face, she possessed a timeless beauty that seemed untouched by the passage of time.

Her grey eyes, sparkling with intelligence and curiosity, revealed a wisdom beyond her years, reflecting a depth of understanding that belied her youth.
