I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 4: Saving

Jane took this chance and gently poured the potion into its mouth. As soon as it drank all of it, its body started to recover. There are still some injuries left but they could be easily treated. The black beast's breathing started to stabilize and looked up at Jane who is carrying him. Jane stared back at him and gently pats him.

"Rest, I won't do anything bad to you. Trust me."

The beast still has some awareness left but followed her orders and immediately fell into sleep. Jane stared at the black beast for a few seconds before leaving the garden and went inside the mansion. While walking towards her room Jane started to feel unexplainable anger flowing within her.

'This was the beast that they dissected and turned into a national treasure? A child that barely looks like a three-year-old? Are you kidding me? Instead of turning it into a national treasure, why don't they just gave him a proper grave after dissecting him? Greedy bastards. Because of their greed, the evil archmage just found more ways to destroy this continent!'

Although she might not look like it, Jane is the type to become soft to children or young creatures. And seeing a child in this beat-up state makes her want to flip things over. She still didn't know the reason as to why the beast got in this state, it wasn't mentioned in the novel. It looks like this black beast is just used for one of the causes to create a spark of tension and conflicts between kingdoms.

Jane entered her room and carefully placed the black beast in her bed. She treated the remaining injuries and wrapped him with a blanket. Jane stared at the black beast for a while before replacing her clothes that have been stained with the black beast's blood.

She changed in her pajamas and laid down next to the black beast. She patted the black beast's body for a while before closing her eyes and went to sleep.

While in a night of deep sleep the black beast slowly opened its eyes and stared at the blanket wrapped around him, he then looked at the sleeping Jane. He didn't know why a human wanted to save him, it's weird because her mother told her that humans are all liars and ruthless, but it doesn't seem to be the case for this human. He slowly observed her for seconds, minutes, hours... He didn't know how much time has passed but all he did was to focus his round light blue eyes on this human who told her to rest and to trust her.

------------

It's not morning yet and Jane was still sleeping but she had to open her eyes because she felt a heavy pressure on her stomach part. Jane frowned and jolt her eyes open and looked at her stomach. And there she saw the black beast staring at her on top of her stomach. Jane frowned but sighed in the end. She carefully placed the black beast beside her and sat up on the bed. Then she talked to the black beast who is still looking at her.

"Is your body okay now?"

"..."

The black beast didn't say anything and just keep staring at her. Jane felt annoyed and talked to the beast again with a frown on her face.

"Hey, don't act dumb, I know you're smart so talk to me."

Jane looked at the black beast with her arms crossed. She saw the black beast open its mouth and talk.

"Why did you save me?"

"Is there a reason not to save someone who's dying?"

"But it looks like you are prepared on meeting me yesterday. Like you expect me to be there. You even have a potion with you. Who are you?"

The black beast stared at me with fiery eyes and released a massive amount of killing intent and focused it on her. Jane frowned and felt uneasy.

'Damn, he's smart.'
