The cute pet of the empire

The cloudy sky began to snow again, burying everything that had just happened on the street.

Royce's palace gradually appeared on the other side of the street.

It was a building made of stones. The gates were two rusty blue iron gates. The guards stood around and opened them one word at a time. Even in the severe cold season, they were not afraid of the cold at all.

Snowflakes fluttered over the entire palace. On the central square in front of the palace stood a huge statue of King Philip. Philip had a big beard and was a one-eyed dragon.He rode on a horse, raised his iron sword, and stared angrily at the front, using this ferocious method to defend his country.

The gorgeous carriage carrying Mao Xiaohua bypassed the central square, passed through the gate, and entered directly.

Inside the gate of the palace is also a huge square. In the center of the square is a fountain. At this moment, the fountain has frozen, and some of the ice has even formed the shape of the fountain when it sprays water, which looks magnificent.

The meeting hall of the king and the ministers is facing the gate. The meeting hall is a column-style building supported by 42 huge stone pillars. The hall is in the original shape, and the center of the dome is not sealed. As long as you look up, you can see the snowflakes falling from the sky.

On the ground, a round layer of snow has already accumulated in the center.

A maid was holding a broom and sweeping away the fallen snow in the center of the chamber.

Although many people have objections to such a meeting room that cannot be sheltered from wind and rain, King Philip insists on his own idea-he wants to make the right ruling under the sun.

The carriage rattled past the meeting hall, as well as the training ground and martial arts field with a similar architectural style, and came to a row of houses.

Immediately, a servant stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

The boy jumped out of the carriage, and the snow was still falling in the sky. Someone wanted to come over to help him hold an umbrella, but he was rejected.

"His Royal Highness Luo Huan, the king is waiting for you!" A servant came to salute the boy.

The boy nodded, indicating that he understood.He didn't go to see his father immediately, but took out a dirty, half-dead animal from the carriage.

"This is? A cat?" The servant who came to deliver the message was a little surprised, "Where did His Highness bring a cat?"

Luo Huan didn't answer the servant's words, but only ordered: "Go to the palace animal trainer Hao An to meet me first, and say that I will wait for him here!"

The servant was surprised, but he followed the order meticulously.

Soon, Hao An, the court animal trainer in charge of training Nanbao, came to Luo Huan.

Hao An is 22 years old, not tall, but has a good temper.

Luo Huan handed the cat in his hand to Hao An's arms: "This is a stray cat I bumped into on the street, it is dying, please help me cure it."

Hao An looked at the cat in his arms in surprise, he had never seen such a big cat...

When he still wanted to express his opinion on this matter, Luo Huan had already walked away.

It was snowing heavily in the sky, and the direction the prince was going was the bedroom of the grumpy king.

Hao An wisely chose to take the stray cat in his arms back to his residence, and healed it according to the prince's instructions.

In a daze, Mao Xiaohua felt as if someone was washing her body, and also felt that someone was holding her back and forth.

It even had a dream, dreaming that all this was a dream, and it was actually getting up from the warm bed and eating the breakfast made by its mother.

He liked this dream very much, so he sank deeper into sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw himself lying in a soft and comfortable basket by the fireplace. It was still snowing heavily outside the window, while inside the room was as warm as spring.

The scars on my body don't hurt so much anymore, but I can't move yet.

The surrounding decoration was ornate and unreal, with gold-painted chairs, ornate low tables, and various sabers hanging on the walls.

Next to the saber is a huge oil painting, on which a golden southern leopard is guarding the palace gate elegantly and earnestly.

"What is this place?" Mao Xiaohua was a little puzzled, and then he heard footsteps approaching.

Mao Xiaohua smelled a strange smell, he turned his ears and immediately became vigilant.

Mao Xiaohua wanted to jump up and find a corner to hide herself, but just as it moved, a hand covered his head, stroking its head.

Immediately afterwards, the pair of boots appeared in Mao Xiaohua's sight.

It was the shiny black boots he saw when he fell in the snow.

Mao Xiaohua gradually remembered many things.

The cold winter, the cold street, the one-eyed man, and the man who got off the carriage.

It was the man who got off the carriage who saved him, and brought him to a warm paradise on the street as cold as hell.

Mao Xiaohua's strength recovered a bit, and her eyes became clearer. He raised his head slightly, and then saw the owner of the boots.

It was a face that Mao Xiaohua would never forget.

The young man's face was still immature, but his black eyes were extremely deep.He has brown curly hair, a high nose bridge, and the contours of his face are as perfect as if carved out of marble.

Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and his face was set against the red and throbbing fire, with thrilling power.

This is my benefactor!

Mao Xiaohua stretched out her furry paws and pressed it against the boy's face. He wanted to say thank you, but he could only make a low "owwow".

The young man didn't care about this, he showed a bright smile, his white teeth reflected his young and handsome face, as if the sun god had descended into the world.

Mao Xiaohua felt that she was melted by this smile in an instant, this smile was like a ball of fire, dispelling all the coldness of the past month.

The boy stretched out his hand and touched Mao Xiaohua's head.The boy's fingers were long, fair, and as gentle as he remembered.

Mao Xiaohua was very comfortable being touched, he half-closed his eyes, and made a cooing sound in his throat.

"You said it was a little leopard?" Luo Huan asked the animal trainer Hao An while teasing Mao Xiaohua.

Hao An said with certainty: "That's right, and it's a... very rare, a new breed that we haven't seen before."

Luo Huan frowned. If this was really a leopard, how could it end up wandering the streets?

"Your Highness, look at its eyes." Hao An picked up Mao Xiaohua and carried her to the window.

In the blue eyes, the black pupils were stimulated by the light, and immediately shrank into a small ball.

"A cat's eyes will shrink into a slit when it encounters light. Only a leopard will shrink into a small spot. And his legs are very thick, twice as thick as a cat's. Judging from this, it will definitely grow It is very big. Look at its tail. If it is a cat, its tail should be very long, and it should be able to control the balance and make many movements. But its tail is thick and short, and the tail is still pointed , this is the characteristic that only a little leopard will have."

Hao An's explanation was very professional, and he opened Mao Xiaohua's muzzle again: "These teeth are deciduous teeth, and judging from the growth of his teeth, this should be a little leopard that has just reached the full moon. Such a small Leopards don't know how to hunt at all, and of course they don't know how to survive. It should be very difficult for it to survive without its mother. But it is a miracle that it survived!"

Luo Huan stepped forward and carefully observed Mao Xiaohua. Every detail was exactly as the animal trainer said.

So, I picked up a leopard on the street?It was still a leopard with white fur that I had never seen before! !

Mao Xiaohua opened her eyes wide and wanted to understand their conversation, but unfortunately the people here did not speak Chinese, so he had no idea what the two people were talking about.He just curled up in Luo Huan's arms comfortably and docilely when Luo Huan hugged him. This embrace is so warm!

Before that, he had never had the idea of ​​relying on humans to survive, but at this moment, he faintly felt that it would be a good choice if he could be the boy's pet.

"Your Highness, what do you plan to do with this leopard?" the animal trainer Hao An asked.

Luo Huan thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go to war with my father soon, and this time it will take five or six months. I'll give it to you to take care of it first. This is a leopard we've never seen before. If it grows up to be suitable for getting along with people, I want it to be my guardian animal."

"Then should we send it to the Leopard Room now?" Hao An asked.

Luo Huan smiled, patted Mao Xiaohua's head, and said in a gentle and pampering voice, "Such a little guy, staying with me for a few days will not be in danger. Is that right, little guy?"

Luo Huan stretched out his finger and pointed Mao Xiaohua's black nose. He looked at Mao Xiaohua, who was small and thin with ragged hair and was hungry, and began to look forward to what this little leopard would look like when it grew up.

Six months is enough time for this leopard to grow from a little guy to a giant.

Will it have an obsessive fur, will it be full of love for its owner like other southern leopards, will it become its own pet, or even a partner?

In the flying snow, Mao Xiaohua nestled in Luo Huan's arms, feeling his body temperature.Luo Huan's arms were generous and strong, which made Mao Xiaohua feel at ease.

Perhaps, after becoming a cat, there will be a natural attachment to powerful humans, right?Mao Xiaohua didn't quite know where this feeling came from, but he liked Luo Huan's embrace very much.

Luo Huan, on the other hand, sat quietly on the chair, looking at the map hanging on the wall, thinking about the matter of following his father to fight this time.

This was his first expedition. He was in charge of the light cavalry on the left wing, and his opponent was Shah, the enemy of the Luna Federation for a century.

In the warm room, one person and one leopard are very quiet.

Although they were thinking about their own concerns, at this moment, they were very close, like the closest partners.
