“… That he was looking for a small child within the forest.”
“It’s true! I know that he’s somewhere within the forest!”
The man looked like he was misunderstood.
My sister had her lips tightly sealed like a clam, but even without her explaining anything I understood. Both she and I knew that the child he was looking for was Knox.
My eyes widened when I took another look at the man. If my memory didn’t fail me, that fluttering seaweed* hair and dark green eyes…
*T/N: The author trying to say his hair’s like wet and sticking to his skin in strands so it looks like seaweed. Not that his hair is actually seaweed coloured or anything.
I subconsciously grabbed onto Knox tighter. Looking at his grey hair, I swallowed my saliva. Soon, I realised who he was from my distant memories.
“Amy…?”
Before long, the eyes of the man who looked as if he had lost the world regained its strength. His eyes widened.
“C-commander…? Commander!”
From what I can remember, there was only one groups of people who would call Knox the ‘Commander’. The Grand Duke’s Knighthood, ‘Lux’.
The man who had his eyes widened was a supporting character in the novel.

“Commander…”
My sister grabbed the hilt of her sword nervously as the man shuffled towards us. Rather than me, he was looking straight at Knox.
I could only imagine how surprised he must be, judging by how he looked like he was possessed. Knox, on the other hand, had just woken up and looked only at me as he rubbed his lidded eyes with the back of his hand.
Knox usually falls asleep by now since he has to sleep before the sun sets. I was just about to put him to sleep since he looked sleepier than usual. If it weren’t for that man, he would’ve been asleep by now…
I looked at my sister and nodded my head. After I told her it was fine with my expression, she lowered her sword with a slight frown. But she still couldn’t completely let go of her sword.
‘He’s not someone who will hurt us. He’s even tied up.’
I didn’t think that the man who had been tied up so tightly could do anything but my sister didn’t seem to think so.
In the meantime, the man who had hurriedly approached us, dropped to his knees. I had been surprised thinking that he was kneeling for me but of course, his gaze was directed towards Knox.
“Commander. I-it’s me, Gray, Lux’s wings. Have you been living well? Have you been healthy?”
The man sobbed as furrowed his eyebrows.
“D-do you know how anxious I was, thinking that you ended up in some monster’s belly?”
‘If he was in a monster’s belly, he wouldn’t be alive.’
I thought as I watched the man quietly.
It’s only because I thought that the man whose arms had been tightly tied to his waist wasn’t able to do anything anyway.
I reached out my hand and patted his shoulder to try to give him some comfort. As I retracted my hand, it was caught in mid-air.
“Knox?”
Knox held my hand tightly as he stared at it. Unlike the eyes he had when he looks at me, he sharply looked at my hand.
Immediately, something flew past me. It was a book which accurately hit Gray’s forehead before falling.
I gasped as I saw the picture book that Knox usually asks me to read to him. I looked at the two of them.
“I hate him.”1
His wide eyes turned towards Knox.
Uh, I think this man is going to cry.1

“I have introduced myself before, but my name’s Gray.”
After the ruckus, everyone gathered around in the house. It’s because my sister said that it was too hot outside to talk.
Before I knew it, the bulky man’s eyes were glistening.
“I just know that he’s the best. The coolest person I’ve ever met in my life!”
I almost saw a tail wagging behind him. Come to think of it, Reynok was also much like a beast and a dog. Very much.
If I only I could say, Commander Wolf, do you only happen to have dogs and beasts under your command? I seriously pondered over it. So then, would he be considered a Siberian Husky?
