When Nowton drew his sword, he intended only to intimidate.
He was going to try to draw out Juicy’s powers.
However, the moment he saw Juicy’s deep blue eyes, his insides boiled over, and his spirit power surged.
“?!
A red light suddenly burst out from around Nowton’s body and rushed towards his sword hilt.
He panicked and grabbed for his sword, which roared with fierce flames.
It was a mistake.
But Juicy had already turned red in the face.
“What was that?!
It had happened in an instant.
The palace was in chaos.
Screams of panic filled the air from the maids, bodyguards, and attendants.
“I, Your Majesty!!!”
“Your Imperial Highness, please calm down!”
“You can’t do this!”
“His Majesty the Emperor will be in trouble if he finds out!”
Chaos, chaos, chaos.
Nowton was about to intervene when he saw the little white tiger’s momentum shift in a strange way.
“Ohora?
“…….”
“…….”
Amidst the screams of please, stop, and warnings, only the two imperials stood facing each other in a stiff confrontation.
Crown Prince , a tiger who had been humanised and wielded powerful powers, and the White Tiger Empress, who was still the size of a month-old cub and could do nothing.
Naturally, it was going to be Juicy who was going to get hurt.
-The right answer in this situation is to run away.
She remembered the warning Emperor Litain had given her the first time she’d seen him.
Yes.
Maybe now is the time to run.
But for some reason, Juicy couldn’t take her eyes off the flames from Nowton’s sword and the red glow that surrounded him.
That was the power of the Penterin royalty, blessed by the Goddess Ganash.
A mysterious and powerful ability.
Then, shouldn’t I also have a power? What is my power?
‘The power of Anash the White Tiger is…….’
As I stare at the flames in fascination, I suddenly remember a dream I had today.
A beautiful child.
Something black and evil.
And a giant white tiger.
‘Snow on the mountains in summer…….’
“Empress!”
Juicy, who had been staring blankly at the flames, gurgled in surprise as Sophie suddenly pulled her into a hug.
“huh?”
Sophie flew up and wrapped her arms around Juicy, curling her back into a ball and flattening her to the ground.
“Auntie Sophie, what are you doing, ha ha.”
Nowton let out a short, hysterical laugh as he looked towards the handmaiden protecting Juicy.
But she saw nothing.
His laughter was horrifying to Juicy, who was enveloped in Sophie’s arms.
She could clearly hear the crackle of the mystical flames in Nowton’s sword.
Fearing that he might harm her, Juicy struggled to break free to protect her.
“Kha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!”
“Empress! Shh, be still! It’s okay.”
It was too late to escape.
Sophie was desperately trying to hug and protect the White Tiger Empress.
“Stay still, stay still, I’ll protect you.”
The edge of her voice trembled slightly as she spoke firmly, and Juicy snapped out of it.
This situation is real.
If she hesitated any longer, the dreaded Ganash’s psychic flame would engulf her.
Even if she was a Sioux, a Sioux without powers was a placenta, and Sophie was such a Sioux.
There would be no way to fight back here.
Nor would she dare to fight back against the crown prince, Nowton.
She would be burned to a crisp by the fierce and terrifying flames.
‘Protecting me!
The thought of Sophie’s death stirred Juicy’s heart, which had never been stirred by anything before, violently, and tears formed in her eyes.
‘Sophie Langrasse, who had found me alone in a cold, narrow room, and had tenderly cared for me.
To Juicy, she was no mere maid.
My heart heats up.
Don’t take anything precious from me. Don’t kill innocent people.
I will never let ‘anyone’ die helplessly in front of me again.
Juicy was out of her mind.
A click.
Something hot flared up near her chest, like a lock opening.
No, no, no, no!
“Khaaaaahhhhhhh!”
Juicy shoved Sophie away with a force that belied her tiny frame.
Then she roared at Nowton.
It was the loudest, most fierce sound the White Tiger Empress had ever made.
“!!!”
A blinding light erupted from Juicy’s body as the threatening roar echoed.
“Empress!”
Someone urgently called out to the Empress, but she paid her no mind, focusing her fury solely on the red flames.
“Kahang!!!”
The white tiger cub roared, and bluish flames rose up around its tiny body.
“Yi Ning!
Nowton’s golden eyes widened and his lips parted slightly.
Juicy’s blue flames flew towards him, covering the red flames that were burning on his sword.
As if that weren’t bad enough, it also pushed back the heat of the otherworldly power around him completely.
Aaaahhhh.
It had happened in an instant.
How easy it was to neutralise Crown Prince Penterin’s powers.
“Huh!”
“Three, oh my!”
The onlookers spat out one word after another in astonishment.
The blue flame that had absorbed Nowton’s red flame rose high into the ceiling.
Everyone squeezed their eyes shut, expecting the blue flame to pierce through the ceiling and destroy the Empress Palace.
However, Empress White Tiger’s blue flame gently swirled upwards, gradually coalescing into a bright cloud of light.
And…….
“Eyes?”
Sophie muttered in a dumbfounded voice as she looked up.
The cloud of pure white light slowly descended to the ground, sprinkling snow.
Slowly, silently.
Sophie clasped her trembling hands together and stared at the back of the white tiger cub, a tiny ball of white fur standing in front of her like a protective shield.
Not fragile.
Juicy had awakened it at the tender age of less than a year.
“Empress Brianna, are you watching? The Empress is……!’
Sophie curled her hands into fists on the floor, barely able to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
She’d been so worried about the little princess not growing up.
She hadn’t slept well in recent months, afraid she would die young like the other white tigers.
But she was wrong.
No longer a ferocious flame of destruction, she has awakened something so beautiful and wonderful!
It was clear that Princess Juicy would live up to her trust and become the treasure and hope of the Penterin Imperial Family.
Sophie, and everyone else around her, was speechless.
She had never seen anything so peaceful and beautiful.
The glittering sapphire snow was beautiful, like stars falling to dust in the night sky.
A strange sight I had never seen before.
Just a moment ago, I thought that the Empress Palace would be engulfed in terrible flames.
But now it was peaceful and beautiful, with glittering snow falling.
The Empress had protected what was hers.
“Whoa.”
Nowton was the first to break the silence.
“White Tiger, aren’t you amazing? You fought back against your brother, right?”
Nowton slid his sword back into its scabbard and stalked over to the white tiger cub, who was still glaring at him.
“Kahang!” (Don’t come!)
Juicy bared her teeth again at Nowton, who was closing the distance.
Even though it wasn’t pawing at her, she was still afraid.
Juicy stepped forward to block him, wary of his attempts to get closer to Sophie and her.
Nowton couldn’t help but chuckle.
He snarled as ferociously as he could, but all you could see in his open mouth were round, white teeth like grains of rice.
My mum really did give me a cute little sister.
My heart ached.
Yes, that’s all that’s left of my mother.
By the way.
‘I thought Sioux cubs were annoying and jingling, both in their natural state and humanised. Why is this one so cute?
Especially tigers, whether they were Sioux cubs or real tiger cubs, he was tired of them all.
He was bothered by the tiger cubs who instinctively followed him, a strong Kumho, from a young age.
He hadn’t even humanised them yet, but they were still hugging and playing with him, even though he didn’t like it.
It pissed him off.
The tiger cubs had been brought in by Empress Brianna to befriend him, but he hadn’t been able to kill them, only chase them away.
Anyway, it was my first time.
I saw a tiger cub and thought it was cute.
“Boom!”
