Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

In the vicinity of the tree pit where the sacred tree had been uprooted on Gray Earth…

A black cat found itself being cradled in the arms of a little girl, and Lilly extended her hand to scratch its chin as the cat purred.

The guard cats who had been trailing the black cat stood by in utter astonishment!

Your Highness, why would you allow her to do such a thing?

“Your Highness…!” one of the cats meowed, “What… what kind of sorcery is this?”

Another cat, taken aback, raised its paw to deliver a swift swipe, “Hush! His Highness has his reasons for everything he does. We have no place to question it.”

How dare they attempt to question His Highness?

Regardless of what His Highness does, there must be a purpose behind it!

Even allowing himself to be petted!

The black cat lay in Lilly’s arms, purring and drowsy. But upon hearing the conversation, it snapped awake and sat upright.

Hold on, how did it end up in Lilly’s arms?

Oh, right, it vaguely recalled…

Lilly blinked innocently and asked for just a single scratch.

Seeing her pitiable state, it involuntarily agreed, thinking it would be a mere moment.

But instead of just a scratch, Lilly proceeded to stroke its chin and neck!

Even a cat could not resist the bliss of that sweet spot…

The black cat contemplated leaping out of Lilly’s embrace, but just as it tried to make its move, Lilly placed a hand on its belly and held it tightly.

“Ash, you’re so heavy! Twice as heavy as Bellflower!”

Indeed, it was twice the size of an ordinary cat, resembling a tiny leopard!

Lilly adored the black cat and pressed her face against its back, rubbing against it with affection.

Wow! so this is what people call “sniffing” cats!

It feels so nice…
