After that, Jared followed Ivasha through the streets and arrived in the center of Imperial Beast City. Right when the pair was about to enter the palace in Imperial Beast City, a young man in golden armor approached them and said, “Princess Ivasha, I was worried sick when King Yuven said you had gone out alone. It’s very dangerous out there. If something bad had. happened to you, it would be troublesome! Please inform me when you want to head out next time. I can protect you.”
The young man looked very concerned when he said those words to Ivasha. However, Ivasha merely glanced at him faintly and uttered in disgust, “Who do you think you are, Tigerus? What made you think I needed to ask for your permission to head out? Do you really think I need to report to you?”
“Oh, no. That’s not what I meant! I was just worried about your well-being!” Tigerus hurriedly explained with a shake of his head. When he saw Jared, he furrowed his brows and asked, “Princess Ivasha, why did you bring a human back with you?”
Right after Tigerus finished speaking, he. continued in bafflement, “That’s not right… This fellow possesses both the aura of the beast race and a human. How could that be? In fact, he possesses the aura of a celestial beast….
This is odd! Very odd! Could it be that he’s a product of a marriage between the human race and the beast race?” Tigerus was bamboozled by Jared’s aura, and he couldn’t help sizing the latter up. “Contain your curiosity. Whoever I bring back with me shouldn’t concern you. Your duty is to guard the imperial city. You should just focus on your job!”
Once Ivasha reprimanded Tigerus, she said to Jared, “Let’s go, Jared.” As Ivasha led Jared into the palace, he picked up his pace and walked alongside her. Tigerus was pissed off when he saw that. I’ve never been allowed to walk beside Princess Ivasha!
“Hey… It seems like that subordinate of yours is into you,” Jared said to Ivasha. Jared spoke in a casual tone because he didn’t sense any animosity from Ivasha. “He’s reaching for the stars with his feet on the ground! I would never fall for a peeper!” Ivasha fumed. “A peeper?” Jared froze momentarily. What is Princess Ivasha talking about?
“That Tigerus is a pervert, and he’s always secretly watching girls shower. For some reason, he thought he was so good at casting illusion spells that no one would ever catch him. Yet, he was caught! What a shameless and disgusting pervert!” The more Ivasha talked about Tigerus, the angrier she got.
Jared, on the other hand, was completely taken aback. That guy looked so honorable! Who would’ve thought that he could be a pervert? No. wonder Princess Ivasha was so disgusted when she talked to him! When the pair arrived at the palace, Ivasha called out, “Father! Father!”
A beat later, an elderly dressed in green appeared and bowed respectfully. “Princess. Ivasha, King Yuven has left the city. He’s most probably only coming back tomorrow!”
“Seriously? Why didn’t Father wait for my return?” Ivasha pursed her lips unhappily. She then said to the elderly in green, “Mr. Poulsen, settle this man in a room and let him rest. I brought him here to see my father.”
The elderly in green, Julius Poulsen, nodded. and turned toward Jared, uttering politely, “Sir, this way, please.” Upon hearing that, Jared cast Ivasha a baffled glance. She brought me into the palace and arranged a room for me without asking me anything. What’s going on?
“Have a good rest. I know you’re injured, so you have limited strength. I’ll get someone to deliver you some herbs to help you recuperate. We’ll talk more when my father returns tomorrow. Relax, all right? I won’t hurt you!” Ivasha assured Jared. Noticing the sincerity and friendliness in Ivasha’s tone, Jared followed Julius’ lead and left to get some rest.
