But its attitude toward Sam, a true subject of the Natural Goddess, was lukewarm at best.
Ever since he learned the little thing was the creature that hatched from the Stone Egg, Sam had been trying to get close to it.
Levi didn't mind and allowed them a brief encounter. Buji wasn't as wary of Sam as it was of others, but it merely circled the old man twice, plucked a single white hair from his beard, and then flew before the Lord as if presenting a treasure.
This drove Sam mad. He was supposed to be the Natural Goddess's most faithful subject, yet this little terror completely ignored him.
Angry as he was, there was nothing he could do in the face of his Lord and this little terror.
Levi only discussed the specifics of Buji's situation with a few of High Cliff Castle's leaders.
As a result, that blockhead Zat figured that because the little creature had seen the Lord first upon hatching, it had imprinted on him as its mother, which explained its extraordinary affection.
