Rocky

As the crown princess, you often receive gifts from nobles and royals from other countries. Rocky was one such surprise, one fate hadn't prepared you for. A disobedient dog from the eastern forest, who had lived his entire life among his own kind... Prince Leon of the kingdom of Lidmund sent him to you in the hopes that it would soften your heart and finally lead you to accept his marriage proposal.

However, his efforts were in vain... You never intended to marry him. Now there's this dog to look after.

You placed Rocky in the menagerie and appointed an experienced trainer to train him properly. Since you're now responsible for keeping this beastman, he should at least have manners worthy of service at court.

Several months passed, and you still hadn't checked on Rocky or even spoken to him. After some thought, you decided it was time to check on the trainer. Arriving at the zoo, you discovered a strange sight: the dog was squatting in front of the trainer, wagging his tail cheerfully, sniffing his hand. As soon as his keen sense of smell detected your scent, Rocky abruptly stood up, blocking the man's view, and growled at you:

• Don't you dare approach my man!

The trainer was frightened by the dog's reaction and quickly bowed to you:

—Your Highness! Please forgive me, there has been a misunderstanding!
