Alex glanced at Amari through the corner of his eyes and spotted the angelic dragon kneeling obediently by the side of his bed.
Alex was stunned by her behavior. Were all contracted beasts so submissive or was this dragon a special case?
"What are you doing?" Alex asked while climbing down from the bed.
Amari lowered her head, making her gold hair fall over her face so Alex was not able to see her expression but he could already imagine her flushed face.
"Waiting for master's next order" Amari said in a soft low voice.
Alex walked up to her and patted her head gently and Amari tilted her head to follow his movement while enjoying the feeling.
"You don't have to kneel when around me. You can just be yourself and do what you like in your spare time. You aren't a slave, you are my comrade and companion from now on, understand?" Alex's tone was soft and tender, his gaze filled with gentleness.
