I Became the Black Swan Mother of the White Swan Princess

with His Highness around.]

“Then why did it shake the crib?”

[His Highness ordered it to check if Haniel was doing well since she would cry if he approached her.]

[Mommy…?] Haniel, who was lying in the sickbed, looked up with pouting lips.
She must have heard our conversation as well.

But the moment she met eyes with the dog, she hid under the blanket immediately.

“Ungh…”

[Is that so? Madam.
And it wanted to say this.]

That’s good, continue.

Selene spread her wings and started a body language battle with the dog.
Regardless of how I couldn’t understand the animal language, I could guess what it wanted to say when it pointed at Haniel’s crib and rubbed its paws softly.

[I thought the princess was very cute when they first met!]

—

[Though I wasn’t particularly inclined to, but was surprised to see Haniel so small and cute.]

Bark! It raised its two front paws in surprise, as if wanting to show its reaction back then.

Oh my.
I covered my mouth in surprise.
Selene then looked at Haniel, who was still hiding in the crib.

[But now that it saw her again, it thinks she’s grown cuter.]

[Hmm…?]

What kind of response was that? Your tail was already wagging.

I carried Haniel out of the crib since she was now looking out.
It was better for her to see it personally since there was no need for Selene to convey the message.

[M, mommy.]

“Haniel, you heard them, right?”

Haniel remained silent.

“Now, do you still think that dog wanted to bite you?”

You too know that it didn’t want to.

Even the dried slices of bread melted in my mouth as the heart-warming scene melted my heart.
I smiled widely while savouring the taste of the dried bread, watching the harmonious atmosphere in the room.
Breakfast had never been this splendid.

[Ahem, Madam.
Is there nothing else you wish to say to me? Or a gift?]

“Seriously!”

As the situation had almost come to a positive close, Selene had to start coveting the bag of feed.
She always seemed to be eating with her words.

I quite admire Selene’s ability, though she was at times frivolous.
She could be truly the best when it came to understanding the animal language, similarly to when we first encountered Haniel.
