"Welcome back, Your Highness." A beautiful lady bowed as soon as she saw her liege. "Did you enjoy your stroll in this new world?"
"All I saw were abandoned cities," the young man replied. "But during our trip back, Ossan found a few Wanderers and opted to have a small snack before returning. You should really teach him not to play with his food. Some Wanderers got away."
The lady smiled sweetly and promised to give the Pseudo Rank 8 Sovereign a good nagging later.
(A/N: When I say Pseudo Rank 8, this means that the Monster is at the peak of Rank 7 but has the fighting prowess of a Rank 8 Monster.)
Suddenly, a Rat-like monster appeared beside the young man.
"Your Highness, how many times must I tell you to not sneak away without telling me?" the Rat-like monster complained. "Your father entrusted your safety to me, so please don't wander off on your own."
