“Are you that reluctant to let me have the desserts she makes?”

“And how would a beast conquer the territory if it lost its sharp teeth?”

“Hah, what territory?” Zephyr scoffed after some time. “Someone like me doesn’t need to conquer anything. It’s enough for me to live with my wife for the rest of my life!”

“Really?”
