In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, the female beast. She is a disguised emissary sent by the city's lord. The female beast is very pretty, and she is also a gift from the city. The lord is afraid that if the beast does not accept her gift, he will have to kill her. The beast is not afraid of rejection, however, because he does not keep slaves. He tells the woman to mark the beast with magic seals and to remove all restraints from the beast's body
