Chapter 134: The weasal weasled in.
Sigrid was no clueless fool, of course she knew what griffins ate but the bank was charging a steep price for magical herbs and fruits. Also, she had no way of explaining the background of the griffin to Roland if she just waved it out of thin air.
The lord mage’s jaw dropped open, he rubbed his eyes a few times and his heart swelled with joy at the sight of the young creature. The mage estate, all of Eldoria had only two griffins, one was old and dying. The other was middle aged and hostile, all had been brought as adults, captured after attacking a village.
Never before had he seen a young griffin so he was blown away when he saw the breathtaking creature with its golden fur and delicate wings. It was looking at him with curious round eyes that held just the slightest hostility.
He extended his hand and touched its fur, expecting it to peck or hiss but it surprised him by jumping onto his chest and nuzzling against it. "Hello, little one."
As if it was responding, the griffin chirped back at him and then returned to the table, poking its beak at at the breakfast plate.
"You must be hungry." he said.
Excited, he opened one of the drawers on a wide shelf behind his chair and returned with Lumina apples, Ember pears and starberries.
Carefully, he guided the little griffin, introducing it to its first meal in the real world. Sigrid watched quietly and she smiled, she thought to herself that she had made the right choice by bringing the griffin to the estate. The lord mage could be the equivalent of a dotting cat slave and raise it for her.
"Since you two are getting along well, I will leave Viper in your care, I have heard that you already have two other griffins here. It will be good for her to grow up with her own kind."
"Viper." The lord mage sounded the name. "Your highness, isn’t that a type of snake?"
"Does she look like a snake?" She retorted.
