"Lilly, Lilly!"

The moment Zadhea entered her chamber, she started looking for her cat.

"Lillian! Where are you?" This time her voice sounded impatient and angry because she didn't get a response in return. Was this queen hunting a poor house lizard again?

Zadhea facepalmed herself as she recalled rescuing a house lizard from her pet not so long ago.

"Queen Lillian, I request you to appear in front of me!" Finally, she gave up and uttered respectfully.

Although she named her cat as Lillian, most of the time she called her queen Lillian because the cat acted as arrogant as a royal queen, reminding her of her own mother.

Fortunately Queen Margaret had no idea about her daughter's mischievous behaviour. What if she knew that her daughter addressed a cat equally as her because they acted similar?

Then it would be the death of Zadie!

"Meow!" It seemed like in the end, the cat decided to meet her owner.

"Awww!" Zadhea's previous resentment towards her pet vanished without a trace as she picked Lillian up from the floor. "How cute!"

Lillian had blue eyes similar to hers. She was a fluffy white cat who was able to capture everyone's hearts including Zadhea's strict mother and warrior father.

Although Zadhea could melt her father, she couldn't do the same with her mother. It was a different story when it came to her cat. Lillian even succeeded in receiving her mother's love too.

Sometimes, because of that, Zadhea felt a bit jealous of her.

One day she had even asked her mother that, "Am I your daughter or is Lillian your daughter?"

But the queen just brushed it off by saying, "The poor thing is just a cat."

Zadhea felt wronged. She was the poor thing, not the cat!

"You are so beautiful, you know?" Zadhea kissed the cat's cheeks a few times. "I love you so much!"

"Mmm, hmmm!!" Lillian grunted in annoyance as she turned her face away from Zadhea.

Zadhea wasn't surprised. She was already used to her cat's behaviour. Even though Lillian loved her owner more than others, she was never clingy to her. She just wanted to stay close to her, avoiding physical contact.

Zadhea was well aware of this fact. However, she couldn't help squeezing her every time she saw Lillian. Because of that, Lilian hid in a corner where Zadhea couldn't find her and then slept peacefully.

As a result, Zadhea called out to her countless times until Lillian showed herself. This happened frequently.

"Naughty cat," Zadhea scolded her while gently pulling her whiskers.

Lillian: "..."

Zadhea sometimes wondered that the cat and the person who gifted her the cat was a bit similar.

The original villainess tried to get too close to him which irritated the prince. As for Zadhea, she only tried to distant herself from him, igniting his interest.

It was the same with Lillian.

Initially, she showered Lilly with hugs and kisses which made the cat unhappy. When she realized that, she decided to let her be and did her own things until... She felt someone softly scratching her knee.

Lillian made a pitiful face with the help of her big round blue eyes that looked like marble balls while meowing at her.

Needless to say, Zadhea's heart melted instantly.
