Anna was speechless.
The chubby little cat she was playing with just a moment ago had now transformed into a towering winged black panther. His presence was majestic and terrifying.
Her gaze shifted between Valerian and Adam several times. Finally, they settled on the latter, and she couldn't help but ask, "So the flying panther I've been hearing about is actually… a cat?"
"I'm not a cat!" Valerian protested. This time, his voice was deep and gruff.
Anna stepped toward him and slowly reached out with her hand. Valerian fondly rubbed his head against the palm of her hand.
"Alright, Valerian, if not a cat, then what?" She asked, amused.
"Hmph!" Valerian raised his chin, smiling arrogantly. "I… am a mighty dragon!"
"…Sure." Anna's lips twitched.
While the two were conversing with one another, Adam walked up to Raidon and placed a hand on his shoulder. "How are things with the men?"
"My Lord, they are eager to meet you!" Raidon spoke excitedly.
