Cat Princess and Human Knight

This is also the biggest reason why Astraea is so ashamed and indignant.

It's bad enough to steal from your peers... But for an elder to steal from a younger person... Have they no shame at all?!

Astraea is a strong woman who is gentle on the outside but tough on the inside, and has a strong sense of principle and responsibility.

When she realized that she had truly fallen for Yi-eun, regardless of the reason for it, she felt extremely ashamed.

Now, Ophelia must bypass Astraea and use Illya's sisters to kill Illya's lover, the one Astraea secretly loves.

How could Astraea accept this!

She struggled desperately, but severely injured and ambushed, she had lost the ability to resist Ophelia.

The more fiercely and desperately she resisted with her supernatural powers, the more excited and thrilled Ophelia became.

Over the long years, Ophelia, utterly bored, had long since become psychologically twisted.

When all those she loved, hated, and cared about had vanished into the long river of history, only manipulating the descendants of the human race could stir a ripple in her heart, which had become as hard as stone.

Watching Astraea panic like a girl experiencing her first love, and seeing her struggle and then beg for mercy to spare the otherworldly king named Yi Yin, Ophelia grew increasingly curious.

What kind of man could make both Ilya and Astraea fall for him? What makes these two women, with such different personalities, willing to do anything to protect the same man?

Looking at Astraea, who was gradually falling into a deep sleep and could no longer resist, Ophelia felt that this awakening was truly worthwhile and interesting.

Ophelia turned and leaped into the flowerbed, picked up the sleeping Ilya, glanced back one last time at Astraea sleeping on the green throne, and smiled as she disappeared into thin air.

After Ophelia disappeared, Astraea suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes and, with her last bit of strength, spat out a beam of green light from her mouth.

A green light streaked across the sky, rapidly flying towards the rocky hills, towards the direction where Yi Yin was.

After flying for a long time, the green light carrying Astraea's last bit of strength gradually dimmed. Although it still pressed forward resolutely, its speed was getting slower and slower.

Finally, the green light fell to the ground, transformed into a human shape, and slowly drifted forward.

The energy dissipated, and the human form could no longer hold on, shrinking and shrinking until it finally shrank into a tiny woman no bigger than the palm of a hand.

The little woman fluttered her wings, which were made of green light, forward with all her might. With each flap of her wings, she emitted specks of firefly light as she struggled forward.

This tiny woman, like a little elf, the extraordinary incarnation of Astraea, had only one thought in her mind at this moment.

Go to the gravel hills and tell Yi-eun. Danger! Danger! Danger!

Imperial City.

On the Iron Throne, the Regent stared angrily at Dark Claw.

"What exactly is going on? Why are the Royal Claw Knights on the battlefield of the Shattered Hills?"

"Regal. The Blazing Heart has returned and entered the royal city. Where is he now? Tell him to come to me immediately!"

Chief Justice Dark Claw shook his head and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Regent, he is probably unable to meet with you."

The regent rose from the iron throne and walked down with a gloomy expression.

"Morgar, Darkclaw, what have you been doing behind my back?"

As the Regent walked up to Darkclaw, two black cats from the Shadow Guard appeared behind Darkclaw, standing there expressionless.

Dark Claw shook his head and sighed.

"Do you really want to know? I advise you not to know."

The Regent narrowed his eyes slightly and gave an order to the Black Cat of the Shadow Guard.

"Grab him."

The air seemed to freeze. The two black cats stood as if they hadn't heard a thing, still standing properly behind Darkclaw.

The Regent's expression changed. He quickly retreated to the Iron Throne and pressed some device. A dozen black cats surged up from all directions.

Pointing at Dark Claw and the two black cats behind him, the Regent gave a stern order.

"Arrest them all!"

But what horrified the regent even more was that the black cats still did not react at all, and not a single one obeyed his commands.

Swallowing hard, the Regent looked at the Dark Claw Grand Justice.

Dark Claw sighed, slowly walked up to the Iron Throne, pressed the Regent onto the throne, and said.

"I originally thought our collaboration would last a long time and be very pleasant, but you seem to be meddling a bit too much."

The Regent, his face cold, looked up at the Dark Claws who were looming above him and said.

"You've taken control of the Shadow Guard? These damned black cats, beasts that have turned on their master."

Dark Claw couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"A beast that devours its master? Your Excellency Regent, do you have the right to say that?"

Who promoted the lowly clan cat from the Shadowmoon Clan to a higher rank, and even bestowed upon you the honor of a Grand Duke?

Raine. Grand Duke Shadowmoon, have you forgotten?

When your hands are stained with the blood of the Mankikan royal family, you should no longer expect loyalty, you beast who has turned against its master.

The regent gritted his teeth, unwilling to back down, and changed the subject, asking...

"Rehgar. The Fiery Heart, is he dead?"

Is this important to you?

"Hehe, I don't care."

Anyway, he never served me, so his death isn't a loss. It's just that those Maine Coon knights from Royal Claws went to the Shattered Hills, which is a bit of a hassle.

"Actually, it's not that troublesome. In the eyes of the Dark God, they are just slightly stronger ants, no different from you."

The Regent and Darkclaw locked eyes. Sitting on the Iron Throne, he straightened his back as he looked up at Darkclaw.

"Darkclaw, you cannot kill me. I am Ilya Onyxia's chosen one."

"If you kill me, the magic gem on my tail will immediately explode, announcing my death. She will then avenge me and kill all of you cats!"

Faced with the outwardly fierce but inwardly weak regent, Dark Claw couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still the same. A lie repeated a hundred times ceases to be a lie. You spend all day deceiving others with these lies. Are you also planning to deceive and comfort yourself?"

Darkclaw reached out and picked up the sapphire from the Regent's tail. Seeing the Persian cat's expression grow increasingly grim, it crushed the gem with a single squeeze.

Sapphire fragments fell to the ground, and the Regent's face turned deathly pale.

Dark Claw sighed.

"You've long since lost Ilya's favor, haven't you? The real Summoning Sapphire was shattered by Ilya herself, and this Sapphire is just a fake that you secretly bought."

However, even if Ilya Onyxia still favors you, it won't make a difference.

The regent asked, his teeth chattering.

"What...what do you mean..."

A woman's voice suddenly appeared, echoing throughout the palace.

"What an interesting Persian cat..."

The black mist enveloped the hall before dissipating, revealing Ophelia's figure, with the sleeping Ilya floating in front of her.
