Cat Princess and Human Knight

Bell was taken aback.

"It seems...it seems that's really the case."

Yi Yin shook his head and said.

"The wind is about to change. Once the church's attitude is revealed, many nobles will also change their attitude."

"Bell, out of all those cats coming and going, you're the only one asking me what happened in the northwest. Don't you find that interesting?"

Bell sighed.

"Oh right, they didn't ask a single one about the cataclysmic event. That's strange."

Yi Yin smiled.

"There's nothing strange about it. This is the real society. It's exactly the same as where I used to live. The whole world is just a huge makeshift operation, and everyone is just getting by."

The heavy blows dealt to the weakened and powerless Manquican royal family were so powerful that even a cat would want to stomp on them.

But when it comes to humans who are truly capable of destroying the world and ruining the cat race's living environment, they are meek and submissive, turning a blind eye and not daring to utter a single question, let alone criticize them.

The weakness of the ruling class.

Now that they know Sophia has a human knight behind her and the true attitude of the Earth Mother Goddess, all the cats are jumping out to curry favor.

To be a cat to this extent is a bit too mercenary, and it fits my stereotypical view of the ruling class.

While complaining to Bell, Yi Yin looked at Sophia, who was comforting the Maine Coon Knights and making arrangements for them.

The Royal Claw Knights participated in the battle against the Hundred Cats, and their casualties should not have been so heavy, but they were caught off guard by the Bloodthirsty Strike, and now only about fifty or sixty cats remain.

These cats are the largest Maine Coons, each over a meter tall, strong, and eat a lot.

The purring collar alone certainly couldn't support these big guys, not to mention their war lynxes. One meal from these big guys is enough for an ordinary domestic cat to eat seven or eight meals.

Sophia looked helplessly at Yi Yin, who, looking at the six-figure heart value in front of him, proudly puffed out his chest, thinking that all he had left was money.

As the warm spring breeze arrives, the Xingliu Plain is bustling with activity. Farm cats are working diligently in the fields, trying to sow seeds before the long spring rains arrive, hoping for a bountiful harvest in the autumn.

On the canal, countless ships come and go, heading from different directions toward the same destination: Estelle, the pearl on Falling Star Lake and home to the Royal Court of Wheat Waves.

Legend has it that a falling star collided with the lake, forming the enormous Falling Star Lake. The Golden Harvest Royal Family established their city, Estelle, on the north bank of the lake.

Successive Kings of Jinsui transformed four natural rivers flowing out of the lake, creating a vast canal network.

The ever-expanding canals radiated Estelle's power in all directions, enabling the Golden Harvest royal family to firmly control the lords of the Starfall Plains.

The Flint River, flowing south, leads to the Copperless Hills, the territory ruled by the Black Iron Clan, a land rich in minerals where these dwarf cats excel at forging and smelting.

The Salt Sails River, to the southwest, has a fine harbor at its estuary on the Storm Coast, leading to the Reef Kingdom of the Tide Kings.

The salt fields there produce the finest sea salt on the entire continent and serve as a transportation hub for maritime trade to the northwestern deserts.

The Jinshui River, to the northeast, is rich in water and has alluvial plains along its course, boasting the most fertile farmland on the entire continent. The river ends at the Emerald Forest of the Leaf Shadow Royal Family.

The Iron Chain River in the northwest connects the Golden Corridor of the scree hills. Due to the long-term harassment of the northern border by nomadic cats, all trade with the north was transshipped through this river.

Estelle, located on the north shore of Falling Star Lake, controls the entire Falling Star Plain by connecting four canals through the lake.

The bustling lakeside wharf brought immense wealth to the Golden Harvest royal family, making them the most powerful of the seven royal families.

The meeting venues of the Seven-Tailed Council and the Salt Licker Council are also located in Ester. The Golden Harvest Royal Family has allocated a large sum of money to take the lion's share of the council's donations, making it convenient for forces from all over the continent to send representatives to attend the meetings.

Through this move, the Golden Harvest Royal Family also enhanced its influence, and its prestige far surpassed that of the long-declining Mankikang Royal Family.

Just then, a new boat arrived on the canal, its ropes tying itself to the dock's stakes. Before the boatman could secure the ropes, a cat's shadow leaped ashore.

This is an Abyssinian male cat. He has a slender body, thick, tan fur, long, thin limbs, and well-developed muscles. He looks dashing and spirited.

But at this moment, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face, and he hurried forward.

Behind him, two more cats followed him off the boat, one male and one female.

The male cat is a British Shorthair Blue cat with a round and chubby body, a large head and a round face. As a short-haired, short-bodied cat with short fur, short body, short tail, short limbs and short ears, this type of cat is often jokingly referred to as the "dwarf cat tribe" by cat lovers.

The British Shorthair Blue cat looked at the Abyssinian male cat walking ahead on its own and called out.

"Alsa, wait for us!"

The tomcat, known as Alsa, stopped and turned around to speak.

"You're too slow, Rick."

The British Shorthair blue cat, nicknamed Rick, whispered to the female cat next to him.

"I knew it. He was holding back his anger, but he said he wasn't angry. What a dishonest guy."

You should do something about him, Gina.

The female cat, known as Gina, was an Angolan white cat, and she gracefully shook her head as she spoke.

"Alsa has his own ideas, and even though we're a couple, I think I should respect his thoughts."

Rick pursed his lips.

"So even if he disagrees with your teacher, the great Holy Claw Knight Milor, you will firmly stand by his side?"

Gina sighed.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that every male cat should have its own opinions, and that's not a bad thing. I should understand him."

The two cats talked as they caught up with Alsa and walked side by side.

On the dock, patrolling cat riders kept bowing to them, because these three cats were of noble status.

Alsa is the lord of the Starfall Plains and the prince of the Golden Harvest King.

Rick comes from Copperless Hills and is the younger brother of the Black Iron King.

Gina is the princess of the Tide King. She came to Starfall Plains to study under the Holy Claw Knight Milor. She fell in love with Prince Alsa, Milor's disciple, and they became lovers.

The two royal families of Starfall Plains and Copperless Hills have always had a close relationship. Alsa and Rick grew up together and are inseparable friends.

Meanwhile, the Tide Clan is gradually aligning itself with the Golden Harvest Clan, and a future marriage between the two clans would be something both sides would welcome.

In the distance, a Silver Cross Knight was watching from the dock. Upon seeing the figure of the three cats of Alsa, he hurriedly walked over and bowed.

"Your Highness, your father wishes to see you. Please proceed to the palace immediately after disembarking."

Alsa frowned.

"Did Father want to see me about something?"

The knight bowed.

"Your subject is unaware."

Alsa raised his head, looked at the white castle in the distance, and sighed.

"Lead the way."
