章 230: Docile As Cat

Princess Amaya frowned when Sofia screamed.  She saw that the lioness locked gazes with Sofia. The princess tried to get the lioness's attention by growling softly.

A ray of sunlight seeped through the canopy of the tall tree that shaded them. The light refracted and hit Amaya's face turning the color of her eyes from light brown into a deep shade of amber, deeper than that of the feline in front of her.

After meeting the human's amber eyes, the lioness calmed down and became docile as a cat. She lay beside her cubs and let them suck her teats to get milk.

Sofia stood frozen and seemed to be struck by lightning. What happened? Wasn't the lioness going to attack Amaya? Why did it lay down like a docile pet?
