People are approaching her room. Their light gaits were not like the emperor's.

Eventually, the door opened and the other person appeared. Jenny, who was nervous inside, sighed in relief as she relaxed her small shoulders.

“Good morning.”

“You too.”

They were two maids. Women in neat maid uniforms approached with quick steps. Jenny looked up at them, sitting at an angle to put no pressure on her wounds.

"Oh, I guess you still aren't afraid of people even after being shot."

‘Hey, even though I look like this, I'm still a human on the inside.’

A rabbit with silver fur.

They didn’t say the word ‘beautiful’, but the emotion was conveyed enough through their shining eyes.

Feeling proud for nothing, Jenny rubbed her nose.

One of the maids reached for the lock to open the cage. Jenny lifted her buttocks to move her leg, but it didn’t move the way she wanted.

My senses were dull as if my lower body was paralyzed.

"Don't be afraid. I want to give you water. Are you thirsty?"

Hearing the maid’s words, I felt a great thirst. Jenny put her nose in the bowl placed in front of her and gulped down the water.

As the cold water ran down her throat, it felt as if the anxiety that had enveloped her was washed away at once.

‘Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t die.’

'Possessing a mere mountain beast is absurd, but isn’t it good enough of a purpose to drink cool water?'

If it was Korea, I wouldn’t be able to lie down with a busy part-time job schedule.

‘Yes, let’s think positively.’

I’m thinking of taking a nap or taking a nap again. The hand of an unfamiliar maid hovers around the water bowl.

There was a thin crease between the fine brows where the silver hair stood out.

“There, there. Can I stroke you just once?"

‘What else am I saying?’

It wasn’t very nice to have a stranger stroke my hair, but she brought me cold water, so it was fine.

Jenny put the small head in front of the maid’s hand.

‘Hmmm?’

'But something smells bad…?'

Jenny’s small nose twitches involuntarily. Soon the animal sense of smell found the source of the icky smell.

The wound on the maid’s index finger.

It must have been cut by something sharp, and blood scabs were entangled above the long, thin wound.

‘A poor lady.’

Tsk, I’m trying to hold my breath while clicking my tongue, but why is my body moving on its own…?

When I came to my senses, I saw that I was licking the maid’s wounds!

‘What the - !’

I was startled and jumped. Or at least I was trying to but because of my hip injury, it didn’t matter.

Only the uninjured upper body could waddle around.

'Anyway, that’s not important. What the hell have I done?'

The red eyes filled with embarrassment were repeatedly revealed and hidden between the flickering eyelids.

"Oh my gosh.”

It wasn’t the only confusing situation. The maid, who had been licked in a daze, stuttered her.

"You - you're worried about me?"

She was even blushing!

‘I feel bad.’

Jenny scrutinized her eyes. Her first impression wasn’t that bad, but if she was in a bad mood, the maid might harm her.

But Jenny’s worries were just unfounded.

"Oh, I was surprised."

The maid put her hands on her cheeks and let out a flushed tone.

‘Whew, I’m glad.’

I let out a small sigh of relief.

“Oh?”

Maid 2 standing next to her suddenly let out a startled exclamation.

"Your hurt finger!"

The maid, who had been licked by her colleague’s fuss, looked down at her hands.

“Uh.”

Then, she quickly caught her breath. The trembling brown eyes stared at her hand, which didn’t even have a scar.

'Uh, what happened?'

After a while, a questioning gaze turned to Jenny.

‘What happened?’

Jenny was also curious. Because the fact that she licked her had nothing to do with her will.

However, as I looked into the eyes of the maids, a thought crossed my mind.

‘No way.’

As a reader of romance fantasy novels, isn’t it ‘Ice Americano’ when you say ‘uh’?

‘Does my saliva have healing power?’

Jenny swallowed dry saliva.

'Criminals, wow I have healing powers!' She might have like it, but she didn't.

Isn’t it natural? What if these women in front of me now noticed her ability and had a bad heart?

What if they run to the emperor and tell him? That lunatic will definitely not let me go.

‘I’ll be trapped.’

As a mere rabbit, she might end up licking the wounds of others in a small cage for the rest of her life.

“I guess it’s not a normal rabbit after all.”

*thud*

It was scary to think of a bad person when the other side smiles sinisterly.

Jenny slowly took a step back from her seat. Of course, she didn’t back down very much because of her dulled lower body sensation.

The maid’s hand came back to me.

‘It’s over now.’

Jenny closed her eyes tightly. It was then.

*growl*

A loud noise echoed through the quiet room.

Jenny, the maid who tried to stroke Jenny’s hair, and the two maids who were squatting next to her.

Everyone widened their eyes wide.

‘Oh my gosh.’

Jenny couldn’t believe it. Because it was so loud that I couldn’t even imagine that it was a sound made by a small stomach.

I was so embarrassed that my body got hot again.

'Oh. Come to think of it, I guess I haven’t eaten anything after coming to the imperial castle.'

The two maids exchanged glances.

‘Yes, please feel sorry for this little life.’

Jenny put on a pitiful expression as much as possible to buy her patronage. In fact, I felt sorry for myself.

Perhaps after recognizing that she was hungry, her body’s strength drained like the ebb tide along with rapid hunger.

‘A humble life.’

A body that had lost its energy slumped to the floor.

“Hang in there. I’ll be back soon!"

The maids went out the door with determined expressions, as if they had obtained their mission.

‘Whew, I’m glad. They don’t seem to be bad people.’

Jenny, who had been sprawled around weakly, closed her eyelids for a moment in anticipation of the dinner they would bring.

***

‘This... What...’

It took a while for me to stand up excitedly at the word that they had brought something to eat. Jenny stared blankly at something in front of her.

‘What grass…’

It’s not even fresh vegetables, it’s a pile of very dry hay.

‘Do you want me to eat this?’

"It’s the best and most expensive hay in the empire. It’s hay eaten by His Majesty’s horses. I just got it. After you finish eating, I need to give you your medicine too…"

The maid kindly pushes the bowl forward. Jenny wanted to jump out of her place.

But that’s an impossible hope. So I screamed out loud.

*pump* (!stop the motion!)

The maid, not knowing why, blinked her eyelids a couple of times.

‘No, look at the maid.’

Jenny stretched out her front paw and pointed at the haystack in the bowl. Then to her. Finally, she crossed her two front legs and drew an X with her body.

"Aren’t you going to eat?”

"Ppaeeng!" (Yeah! Why am I eating this!)

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Pain!" (Meat! Patients must eat well!)

"Should I get you some carrots?"

That's right. The small body Jenny possessed was a herbivore. Her wish will never come true…

‘It’s a piece of shit!’

Jenny’s mustache quivered.

Yeah, after all, isn’t it the maids’ fault? If you have to blame something, it’s her own fault for possessing a rabbit…

‘It’s your fault you fucker!’

The clenched fists of the two forepaws trembled. Since I was hungry, my thoughts bounced back and forth and my irritation soared over and over again.

‘Calm down, me. Let’s eat something first.’

I didn’t really like it, but I couldn’t starve to death like this. She took a strand of hay that had been placed in front of her eyes and put it in her mouth.

And just one bite at a time.

*Twa-!*

She spits it out right away

No, since she has the body of a rabbit, how can she not have the appetite of a rabbit? This is too crazy.

"Not good?" the maid asked. Jenny quickly shook her head.

"Then, after all, carrots."

‘ .’

The maid finally shut her lips, probably feeling the unusual look in the bright red eyes staring up at her.

"How about apples?"

At that time, the second maid next to her added her opinion.

‘Right! At least ask for something people can eat.’

Jenny nodded quickly this time as well, signaling an affirmation.

"Oh, look at her. I feel like she can understand what people are saying."

‘That's because I’m a person.’

“I know. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence.”

‘It's because I’m human!’

‘There are more important matters now. The apology I mentioned earlier…’

*rumble*

Then, once again, an embarrassing sound echoed through the room. It was such a disgraceful sound that if there was a rat hole, I would want to crawl into it right away.

Still, there seems to be no law to die young.

"I'll be back soon!"

The maids who heard the desperate cry of a hungry life jumped up from their seats and went out the door. Back in the room, only Jenny was left.

‘Ugh, what kind of hardship is this really?’

'Possessing an animal is absurd, and why is it a herbivore? At least I wish I could be a puppy.'

‘Oh, I must be crazy!’

'At least it’s a puppy.' What are you thinking? Jenny shook her head from side to side to get her thoughts off her big day.

‘Even if I possess it, it won’t be enjoyable unless it’s a person.’

Life in a novel was something I had always dreamed of.

A ball where you enjoy holding hands with the male protagonist under the dazzling chandelier lighting, wearing a fancy dress.

A party that lasts all night with all kinds of rare dishes and high-quality wine that is packed on the table.

‘It’s impossible with a rabbit’s body!’

Even if it’s unfair, I can’t be this unfair. Jenny struggled, twisting her whole body, forgetting that she was hurt.

"Kieng!" (uh uh uh!)

Then it was painful. It really hurt. Enough to shed tears.

‘Huh. I want to go home. Send me home.’

Jenny, who was lying on her back, staring at the ceiling, pressed her wet front paws against her wet eyes.

It was then. The sound of someone approaching rang in her ears.
