Isabelle and Alan left for the mountain passage on the border of the northern territory.
They were now standing on the peak of the mountain, trying to find any clues about the beast wave.
"…Alan, look over there" Isabelle pointed at a group.
A group of four were moving at a high speed, having their faces covered. They were wearing tight black suits revealing Only their cat ears and tails were visible.
'I haven't seen beast men before'
"Hmm… they look kind of suspicious," Alan said after observing their movements.
"…yes, let's follow them," Isabelle said as she turned to Alan.
"Huh?"
Alan already left leaving her behind, nerves appeared on her head "why is he so reckless, always trying to act cool"
The group of four cat women:
They were running swiftly…
"Princess, do we have to do this alone?" the first person asked in a soft tone.
"Won't this be dangerous" the second person continued in the same tone.
"Yes, princess it would be difficult to handle the beasts alone" the third person.
"Stop!"
The three stopped running immediately at her command.
"Something is coming towards us at a high speed," she said in a cautious tone.
"Yes, I can feel it too, it has a large amount of mana," one of the three said as she searched for the direction it was coming from.
"Oh hello," Alan spoke in a neutral tone.
Swish
The three drew out their swords and stood in a defensive position protecting the person they called princess.
They glared at Alan with a displeased look on their face.
A woman with black hair spoke in a neutral tone "who are you?"
"Hmm… it's not right" Alan said as he flashed a smile staring at the women "I am the one who should be asking you the questions"
One of the women spoke as she raised a sword at Alan "How dare you to disrespect the princess"
"Princess? Hmm"
Alan's smile grew wider.
Swish
"Come at me" Alan took a sword out.
The woman dashed towards Alan swinging her sword.
"No don't" the princess screamed warning her comrade.
But she wasn't in a state to listen, she couldn't stand anyone who disrespected the princess.
Swish
Clang
Alan blocked her sword, as she kept using her strength to push Alan back.
"… you are weak" Alan shifted the momentum of the sword to his right.
Bam
Alan gave a sidekick to her ribs.
Swiiish
Thud
She crashed after spearing a couple of trees.
"… agh" she coughed a puddle of blood and fell unconscious.
"Sheesh, I didn't hit that hard" Alan was seriously surprised, he didn't know if they were weak or has, he grown stronger.
The princess screamed at Alan with rage "how dare you hurt her?"
Zing
She immediately drew her sword and pointed at Alan.
The three charged at Alan without thinking.
Swing
Swing
Alan kept dodging their attacks.
They stopped after a minute and looked at each other.
Nod
One went to Alan's to the left, the other to the right while the princess stood in the middle glaring at Alan.
She gripped her sword tighter as mana flowed into her sword, it was something similar to sword ki that Alan remembers from anime he used to watch in his past life.
The swords of the three were covered by blue mana, but the one the princess held glowed brighter and the mana it emitted was strong.
Which was quite engrossing.
Alan looked at her eyes which glowed brighter. His brain froze for a second.
Slash
Three blue lines came towards Alan at a very high speed.
Spoof
A cloud of black smoke was created as a result of the collision.
They were waiting for the smoke to clear.
"Be ready" the princess warned her comrades, she knew Alan wouldn't go down with this simple attack. After all his mana was not normal.
They stood in a fighting stance ready to face any attack Alan throws at them.
Just as the smoke was about to clear.
Splash
Water came flying towards the three women. They never expected Alan to throw water at them.
"… ewww" the three spoke in harmony touching the wet hair on their head.
Swish Alan appeared behind the princess and caught her hand from behind.
"… aghh" she groaned "let me go you bastard"
She didn't expect Alan to use such cheap tricks.
"Fight like a man, you coward" she will defiantly take back what she said now in the future. Trust me u wouldn't want Alan to fight seriously.
She fell to the ground as Alan tripped her legs.
"Did you think that your small tricks will work on me" he was caught off guard by her surprise attack.
"… stop struggling and answer my questions," Alan said with a gentle smile.
"you bastard, let go of our princess" the two screamed at Alan in harmony.
Alan didn't care and continued to interrogate her.
"…" the princess was startled by Alan's actions.
He touched her black fluffy tail "oh, your tail feels exactly like a cat" he looked at her ears which twitched and touched them.
"Huh?" she didn't know how to react; she hasn't been humiliated like this in her whole life.
"wowww, so soft" he smiled with a surprised look on his face "I could keep touching them forever"
The two didn't know how to react and stood surprised by Alan's actions.
Sob Sob
Sniff
"Let me go" she muttered in a pleading tone.
Her face was bright red inside the cover, which Alan couldn't obviously see.
Alan noticed her bright golden cat eyes.
His eyes widened "you have beautiful eyes"
"…" she remained silent to his sudden compliment.
What the hell is wrong with him, he attacked her pinned her down and humiliated her and now he is complimenting her. She just couldn't understand him.
Tears started flowing out of her eyes.
"What are you doing to her" Isabelle who just arrived couldn't help but wonder at his method of interrogation.
In her pov:
'What's with this situation?'
He was holding a woman with his hand as she lay on the ground while his other hand caressed her ears.
To his opposite were two women staring at his actions with unbelievable looks on their faces.
On the other side was a woman lying on the ground unconscious with blood splattered around her.
"… what? Can't you see I am interrogating her" Alan spoke with a serious face.
"Then, why are you touching her ears?" she asked with a cold look on her face.
"Sob idiot let me go" the princess shouted at Alan.
"I just wanted to know how they feel" he shrugged his shoulders.
"…huh? 'Does he not know what it means to touch their ears and tail'" she looked at Alan with a dry look and facepalmed.
Alan was dumbfounded, he didn't know why Isabelle is asking him stupid questions, and why was the woman lying on the ground crying. He didn't even fight back against her.
"…?"
Sigh
Isabelle sighed visibly.
Isabelle didn't know how to react to his lack of knowledge. She knew he was in a coma from their conversation last day.
But this…
To be honest, Alan didn't bother to learn about trivial matters from anna.
Isabelle walked towards Alan and looked at the woman Alan was holding.
She spoke in a loud tone as soon as she saw the golden badge lying on the ground.
"Alan let her go immediately" she knew he would just listen to her without an explanation
"She is the princess of the werecat kingdom"
"…so?"
'Is he serious?' Isabelle asked herself.
"She can be the reason for the beast wave too," Alan said as he narrowed his eyebrows.
Yes, it was surely possible. As far as he heard from anna and his father. Demons were able to change their appearances. They could easily impersonate the king himself.
One of the women who heard what Alan said spoke immediately "we are here for the same reason"
The other women continued "yes, we came here to find the reason behind the beast wave"
Alan looked at them with a doubtful face.
The princess immediately tried to justify herself "we had multiple beast waves attacking our kingdom" she continued "so we came here to find the cause of the beast wave"
"...hmm, so why did you bring just three people with you. I am sure a princess can have as many as soldiers you want" Alan said with an uncertain look.
"… this" she hesitated to say anything further to Alan.
"Come on... tell me" Alan gripped her tail.
"… ehhh, ok ok I will say it" she sighed and started explaining "we are having a competition for the throne. Whoever resolves the crisis will be announced as the next king/queen by the king. My brothers and sisters have taken most of the strong soldiers who followed them. I don't trust anyone else than my comrades, so we came here to solve the problem before my other siblings"
Alan was partially convinced by her answer.
He let go of her hand.
She immediately took a knife from her storage ring and placed it on Alan's neck.
"Now tell me who you are" she pressed her knife against Alan's throat.
Alan remained silent; he was surprised by her courage to face an opponent stronger than her.
Isabelle immediately came forward to Alan's rescue.
'Shit the werecat kingdom is going to have a royal funeral today'
But she stopped when she saw Alan's smile.
Alan was a strong man, to think that he would be threatened by someone weaker than him. Impossible indeed but that's what's happening right now. He expected her to back away immediately after he let her go, but her bold act piqued his interest. He had always wanted to see a cat woman in his past life. To be precise He loved the cat women hentai videos.
Even after he came to his world, he didn't imagine the beast-men to be exactly like the hentai videos he used to watch. He had always thought of them having a body of a cat who just walks and talks like humans.
But…
He didn't expect them to be similar to humans. The only difference between them was their cat-like ears and tails. Their other features were just like humans. He just wanted to see them at least once.
'This woman…' Alan wanted to know more about her. He loved how bold she was.
He spoke with a seductive look on his face "I am Alan Carter, son of duke William carter"
"… carter" she has heard from her father that the carter family had the strongest element lightning and … everyone in the carter family Is extremely beautiful. That was really unnecessary information.
she looked at Alan clearly now 'no wonder he is so handsome'
she shook her head immediately and glared at Isabelle for her answer.
"I am Isabelle snow; I am the duke of the northern territory. We have come here to find the cause of the beast wave"
The princess pondered for a while looking at Alan and Isabelle back and forth and withdrew her knife immediately.
As soon she got up, she went to look at her comrade who was injured by Alan.
Alan stopped her immediately "I will take care of her" with a gentle smile on his face.
"Here" Alan handed her a towel to dry her hair.
She didn't want to take it, but she took it anyway. She couldn't stand the water on her ears and hair.
He gave the others towels too and immediately went to the woman who was lying on the ground injured.
He took a healing potion from his storage and fed her.
Her body started to glow a bit and slowly heal the bruises caused by Alan.
"...ughh" as soon as the woman opened her eyes she called out "princess"
She was surprised to see Alan having a healing potion in his hand while the princess and the others stared at her with a relieved look on their face.
