Did the magical beasts just transform into a person? What is happening right now?
The magical beasts then spoke. "Do not fret. It is just a mild fever. Since he is still a child his body cannot take such a powerful power. Removing the spell takes a lot of mana. His fever will subside soon." The magical beasts said to Asher.
"How can you be so sure? And you're actually a human?" Asher carried Sai inside the carriage.
The human beast followed Asher from behind and the other magical beasts who stayed in their form. "I will explain everything when our master is awake."
"Your master?" Asher asks in confusion.
The beast pointed at Sai. "That child is our master. We have finally found him. Please trust us. We don't mean any harm to our master. We are here to protect him."
Asher was hesitant since Sai is not just a normal child. He is also the crown prince and is special. "But I cannot let people see you and your members. The humans will surely freak out if they saw a magical beast roaming around his highness."
"We understand." Then the other magical beasts suddenly sunk down from the ground with the human beasts' shadows. After that the human beast suddenly turns into a puppy. "Is this enough then?"
Asher looks at the magical beast. "M-mhm… Go in the carriage now we are departing. We have been delayed. The duke will be worried by now."
The magical beast then enters the carriage, and they have departed. The whole ride was quiet but as expected Asher couldn't hold the silence.
"By any chance may I know your name?" Asher manages to ask the magical beast.
The magical beast's ears perk up and look at Asher. "Seth… You can call me Seth."
Ashers smiles at him. "Seth it is. I am Asher. His highness master and tutor."
"So, he has a master as well. You must be strong." Seth was now curious about Asher.
"I am not that strong. I am just here to teach things for his highness." Asher said.
Seth doesn't seem to understand but he doesn't want to dig any further. "What's that child's name then and why do you keep calling him his highness?
"His highness name is Sai Ashenford, and he is the emperor's son and the crown prince of the nation. That is why I must call him with respect even though I am his master." Asher explained.
Seth nodded understanding what he said. "Is that so… Then I must call him your highness too." Asher nodded as an answer.
...…
After a while…
They have finally arrived in the north where the duke resides. "We have arrived." Asher said as they looked at the beautiful scenery of the duke's mansion.
