Kemono no Souja Erin 23

Kemono no Souja Erin is getting really interesting. Erin's skill with animals enables her to help a young distressed Beast-Lord, but her abilities deeply frightens her teachers.

According to legend only the Queen is able to command the Beast-Lords to eat the Touda. This gives her power over the Grand Duke who commands the Touda, and so maintains the balance of power in the country. Upon hearing of the legend, Erin immediately denounces it as "rubbish. Beast-Lords eat Touda because it is natural for them to do so," which is pretty darn obvious.

Erin's ability to control the young Beast-Lord, makes her valuable to the enemies of the country. The teachers wisely decide to keep Erin's ability a secret for her safety as well as the safety of the nation. What I found touching, was that all of the students agreed to take an oath to keep the secret, even the ones who dislike Erin. This kid know how to win people over!

Even so, I doubt that Erin can avoid getting drawn into the politics that surrounds the Touda and Beast-Lords. Her skills are just too valuable.
