A strange comemoration.

That nice Soldier let me off his shoulders once we approached the plaza and I pridefully started to pull my card with that gigantic board on top.

As expected, I was welcome with people applauding and calling my name.

I'm starting to think this was worth it.

Game and food stalls had sprung up in every corner of the plaza, and Castella flags hung all over the walls of the houses.

The king himself was amid the public.

With a crying prince in his Majesty's arms?

Don't tell me he didn't manage it?

It was so easy! For a beast, like himself, that should have been a piece of cake.

More glory for me, I guess.

His Majesty lets the crybaby in ah maid's arm and comes in my direction.

He looks at my boar, who still has the big nail on his neck.

-Well done boy, you completed the first step on the path to becoming a man.- He says patting my back. This man is much bigger from close…

Wait.

-First step?-
