Bab 441: Protected By Nature

Lina forced her eyes open, finally realising that the savage noises that she kept hearing weren't merely part of a dream but actually animals outside of her tent.

The princess quickly opened her tent and stepped out, rising quickly to her full height. Her blue eyes cut through the darkness of night quickly adjusting to allow her to perceive her surroundings clear as day. The first thing she saw was fur unlike that of a wolf.

She was frozen for a while, fear threatening to grip her senses as was the natural reaction to danger. However, before the fear could set in, the girl noticed something odd that pushed her worries to the back and replaced them with curiosity.

The creature in front of her wasn't bothered by her presence. In fact, the big cat looked somewhat inclined to have her pet its back if she felt like it. Lina decided against it, regardless of how alluring the thought felt. This was still a mountain lion.
