Duke Ferio shocks everyone by adopting a child and giving her the revered beast name meant for heirs.
“Your existence profits me,” he boasts.
“Confidence, not arrogance,” he claims.
“My looks have benefits,” he adds.
His eccentric daughter loves muscles:
“Let’s train those thighs—show me your back!”
“Kindness? Too delicate.”
Meanwhile, her stepmother murmurs:
“I’ll grant His Excellency the knowledge he craves.”
“Worth it,” she promises.
