Some people are born with good fortune, some with meager fates, and yet others find their lives transformed, soaring to great heights upon meeting their benevolent patron.
Wes didn't know if he qualified as such a patron, but it was clear that he had altered the destiny of a beastkin cat girl.
The adorable kitten standing before him didn't even have a name, as many of the impoverished among the beastkin lacked one.
But this didn't entirely testify to the cat girl's dismal fate, as beastkin females of higher status had been caught up in the wars, some even sold off to other countries, never to be heard from again.
It was precisely because she was born into the poorest family that she had escaped tragedy and awaited the return of the orc prince.
This little girl, who had never had enough to eat or adequate clothing, was selected, well-fed for two or three months, and then dressed up and sent to Wes.
