Yvonne glared daggers at the man who just treated her horse as one would do to a pet puppy. 'He is a horse and not a dog!' She glowered in her heart as she scoffed at him. She then stepped before the horse and placed her hand on his face. While Desmo was finishing his task of fastening the saddle over the huge horse, she had taken it upon herself to make him feel better. "Look at me and forget that there is some terrible creature touching you. Focus only on me." She chanted while patting his…-

Captain Desmo Reel arrived at the St. Claire estate after the sun rose just as he had said that he would. Yvonne yawned as she shielded her sensitive eyes from the bright rays which were now beginning to appear in the grazing field where they stood. Demon and Precious were walking right next to their masters when the larger etcher noticed the little child's actions. He took a step closer and in the next moment, the bright rays attacking Yvonne's eyes had vanished and she could open her eyes…

"What was all that about?" Yvonne muttered as she sat before the large silver mirror in her bedroom. The nanny who stood behind her glanced at the reflection in the mirror and then tilted her head as she did not comprehend what her little miss was speaking about. Yvonne did not bother answering her nanny as she recalled what had happened before she returned to her room. When she had inquired about the Marquess' etcher, the man had frozen for a few seconds. Soon after the Marquess had excused…

Demon had gone back to the stream that he and his master had visited with the other pair of etcher and etched. While he was enjoying a fresh drink of water, he heard his master calling out to him which made him leap with joy. Knowing that he had been called upon, he wasted no time and rushed in the direction of the soft voice that had echoed in his ear. Galloping at the fastest pace that he could, he was soon able to see the small figure of his master standing next to a man whom he had never seen…

Since Yvonne had received the confirmation from her tutor that she had succeeded in staying out of the radar of the Royal family, she did not ponder on it any longer. Her only source of information about matters regarding the outside world was this man and hence she had chosen to trust his words. Today, Marquess Samed had decided to teach her about the trade routes that had been used by the merchants in the Kingdom since days of old. The three-hour-long class was excruciating for Yvonne as she…

While Yvonne was attending her etiquette classes which had restarted after a short gap of two days, Demon was grazing in the field to his heart's desires. The time that he had spent shut inside the cargo ship while being shipped to this Kingdom was a dark memory that he wished to keep locked up forever. The green grass, the fresh breeze, and the warm rays of the sun were all that he wished to experience from now onwards. He had been separated from his family yet he had found a new one thanks to…

"It's fine… He won't harm you." Yvonne giggled as she moved closer towards Raylene. After the adults had finished their conversation, Yvonne decided that it was time to get them acquainted with her etcher. 'I am speaking as though I have known Demon for ages.' She snickered which sounded just like a giggle, covering her sarcastic thoughts in a veil of cuteness. Rutherford stood at the side as he was not worried for himself but was worried about the safety of his daughter. But the same could…

'Demon' 'Etcher' 'Vonna's etcher… This horse… Demon…' These thoughts were whirling around in Rutherford's mind after he heard about the horse who was enjoying the pats from his beloved daughter. As he observed and scrutinized the beast next to Yvonne, he was sure that his child had not mistaken the beast and that he truly was an etcher. The word etcher was something he was all too familiar with as he also had a one of a kind etcher which had formed the bond with him. However, the…

"What is that!?" Rutherford frowned as his finger pointed at the monstrous horse that was following his daughter at a short distance away from their position. The time for their daughter's first class with his old friend Desmo was coming to an end and thus the St. Claire couple had come outside to greet her. However, the sight before them was making their jaws drop as they gawked at the people and animals walking in their direction. When Rutherford's eyes fell on his old friend, he gritted his…

Yvonne sighed when she noticed the Captain's scrutinizing gaze at the horse just like she had done earlier. 'Won't receive an answer from him!' She sneered and tried to think of a possible reason why Demon had been discovered in the grazing field behind the stables in her estate. "Maybe it was Father who had brought horses into the estate and one of them turned out to be an etcher?" She rubbed her chin while throwing out her theory. When Desmo heard this, he paused for a moment and then gave a…
