"Why did you let those losers in?"

Tristan the tiger whimpered on the side as Gusion looked at him with the scariest glare. He tried to hide himself in the bush but the chestnut haired lad merely stepped towards his direction once again making the tiger deflate at him with huge teary eyes. His ears laid sadly as he looks for his exit, gone was his tough predator nature.

It didn't moved Gusion one bit. In fact, it pisses him off more.

The tiger tried to snuggle in his ankles in apology but the man simply side stepped and crossed his arms, waiting for the tiger to explain himself- not like he's an animal mind reader but his institution have always been remarkable.

Voices resonated nearby as Gusion looks at Tristan the tiger stoically, a sign that the conversation between them is not over. Gusion glided swiftly to a tree to conceal himself as Tristan the tiger faced the barrage of admirers. Their goddess, Guinevere, is currently stressing about. The tiger couldn't help but deflate at the thought that he failed her.

"Don't come near us!" One of the man in the crowd pointed his sword threateningly towards the tiger who almost whimpered at the sight. He wanted to attack them but there are too many of them.

Guinevere would be sad if he died.

So the tiger let them in while Gusion is now glaring heatedly at the crowd. They felt goosebumps erupts in their skin but ignored it as they keep on looking angrily and warily to the tiger who remained docile near the bushes.

So that's what they did, huh?

"W-What are you doing to Tristan?!"

Their attention drifted off to the beautiful ginger head running towards their direction with a frown and displeasure on her pretty rosy face. She looks at them with a glare albeit she looks absolutely cute with it instead of scary.

She marched towards their direction and immediately shielded the tiger from them who whimpered and hid on her legs.

What a chicken. Gusion almost wanted to bonk Tristan the tiger on the head.

"My lady, please stay away from that monster." The man lifted his sword, now ready to attack the tiger who is behind her.

The admirers agreed by nodding their heads as they also unsheathed their sword.

"Enough! How dare you call my Tristan as monster. The only monster I see in here are all of you." She glared at them and gently caressed Tristan's head without breaking eye contact at the boys who are now gaping at her remarks.

"We are merely worried for your being, my lady—"

"I do not need your worries." Guinevere cuts them off rudely. "The forest is my home and if you dare destroy or kill anyone in here, it only means one thing: All of you are not worth my time. Leave."

"I apologize for my fellow lads, my lady." The first man named Zilong a while ago bowed at her in apology.

"Their actions were understandable, the tiger tried to attack them a while ago." He added making Guinevere mad at him.

Gusion look and listen to their conversation with utmost attention. Any signs that this fuckers harms Guinevere and her Tristan the tiger, he would not think twice burning them alive. He glared at them on top of the tree as he rotated his holy blade nimbly on his long, gloved fingers.
