After the interaction with the knights, Serafina and the black monster played for a bit. But perhaps they grew tired of their frolicking quickly because before the knights could even realize what was happening, Serafina was using the black fenrir as a pillow while they napped together.
As they kept an eye on the sleeping pair, the knights huddled together and started speaking in exhausted whispers.
“She claimed that black monster is her friend! Just how unconventional is our princess?”
“I should’ve foreseen how little common sense she had… A black monster, really? How naive of me to think that his lair was a place to stash away her tests. It would’ve been a hundred times better if I’d found an exam with bad grades in there instead.”
“Wouldn’t guard training with insufficient information have been enough? You said, ‘You don’t always have all the information available when you’re protecting someone,’ but there’s no way this kind of absurd situation happens often! It’s so rare that I don’t think it’s even useful as training.”
Serafina had a knack for taming all kinds of creatures. Starting with Sirius, who was as wild as they came, she went on to charm the king and the three princes in turn…
“Winning the affection of a black monster would probably be a walk in the park compared to Vice-Commander Sirius! I just hope she’ll manage to tame the beast, so he doesn’t end up eating us in the future!!”
“We can only pray!!” the knights cried out, clasping their hands together as they looked back toward Serafina and the black fenrir peacefully snoozing away.
