For supposedly being someone smarter than the villainess, she sure cant see that the slave could very well be trying to suck up to her for money, maybe even her herself, leopard kid is definitely gonna turn out to be obsessive or something
Yeeesh. That leopard boy is just such an unnecessary addition. If they wanted FMC to have a little brother figure, just give her one. Honestly, this hamfisted attempt to show her "stopping slavery" or some shit is just pathetic writing.
