Reasons ???: The Real Princess (9)

"I saw you on the magic screen!! You were so brave when you stood against that evil king!! You're just like the heroes from the adventure books I usually read."

"He..hero?" 

*woof!*

Hero heard Ivy calling his name, and so he pops out from her purse. 

"Oh? Who is this little fella?"

*woof! woof!* The pup says, which translates, "My name is Hero. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"He says his name is Hero, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"You can understand what it says?!" Isadora said in surprise. 

"Uh... well, yes. Hero is a magical being born from magic stones."

(Author: Ivy only recently found out about this from Tolius.)

"But only Mages could hear his voice." 

"I see." She smiled as she stared at the puppy. "Hero, what a lovely name. It's a pleasure to meet you too." 

Ivy could see that the Princess wants to pet him, so she asks, "Would you like to pet him? He won't hurt you." 

"Can I?"
