The Devil's Fangs

Nina can't help but think about how the day is being 'unexpected.' If it wasn't enough for them to discover that the Alliance also has a King, Eve's brother, pirates attack the cat-clan again.

The cat-clan always had to deal with pirates, but the attacks had stopped since Eve's fame started to grow.

[They must know that Mirya left the Alliance with Eve and think we are helpless... a fatal mistake.] Nina thinks as she smiles.

Then she quickly talks to the cat-girl in front of her. "Warn the elven troops; I will prepare our ships."

The cat-girl nods and runs towards the forest to the west of the city while Nina sends other cat-girls to prepare the warriors.

The loud rumble of a bell is heard by everyone, warning the entire city of Oxard about the attack, and within seconds, all cat-girls get prepared to fight; even those without combat skills take up arms to defend their home.

Nina talks to Lucien respectfully. "Wait here, please, L- My King. I'll get this over quickly."
