He had turned 17 years old but he didn't look his age at all. For a beastmen, Bao Bei grew slowly and was still small.
He was very different with Judy and Kesi. They'd grown taller and were starting to show the strength and confidence of becoming adults.
In fact, Kesi would start working at the trading company right after graduating the academy and Judy was already helping out at the royal medical institute as an apprentice herbalist while still studying.
In fact, the beastmen were considered old enough to live independently at 10 years old.
But Bao Bei who is still small and uncertain, felt completely left behind. His ears drooped sadly.
"Bao Bei doesn't know… I want to be helpful to Jihl, but I don't know how to be useful to him…"
"You want to help Prince Jihl?"
"You want to stay by his side?"
Judy and Kesi asked him one after the other and Bao Bei nodded firmly.
The two exchanged glances.
