The cute pet of the empire

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the weather in Royce was exceptionally clear. Luo Huan took his leopard, surrounded by the crowd, walked across the long red carpet, and came to the square in front of Royce's palace.

All the people in the city had gathered, and the envoys from various states in the federation also sent their greetings.

The soldiers lined up neatly on both sides of the street. At this moment, they expressed their allegiance to their new king.

"From now on, I will take over Royce. I will lead the people to defend the country, resist invasion, love my people, and let Royce never be violated."

Luo Huan's voice was steady and firm, every word echoed in the air, the surrounding was quiet, only the sparrows were making noise on the branches.

At this moment, the soldiers bowed to their new king; followed by the generals, they stood in a row, stood at attention together, stretched out their right arms, palmed their hands into fists, placed them on their chests, and bowed to Luo Huan : "Willing to be loyal to His Majesty, obey the call, and always be by His Majesty's side, until death."

Then there are the ministers of the interior, as well as the guards of various places, and the states of various places.

"On behalf of my neighbors, I wish the king of Royce to inherit the legacy of the previous king. The agreement signed that year is still valid today. We are still willing to submit to the new king of Royce and make Luo Huan the leader of the Federation."

The bloody crown has long been cleaned, and new gems are inlaid on it.

The crown was sent to Luo Huan by Luo Huan's mother, Philip's wife, Perik.

"My child, on behalf of my husband, your father Philip, I place the crown on your head. From now on, you are our king!"

Luo Huan lowered his head slightly, the golden crown pressed against his hazel curly hair, looking heroic and extraordinary.

At this moment, Perik, who had completed his final mission, also took two steps back and bowed to Luo Huan to show his submission.

Huge applause erupted from the crowd. The artists used huge trailers to drag in the statue they had worked on overnight, uncovered the red cloth covering it, and put the smiling figure on horseback, waving an iron sword Youth, standing in the center of the square.

Everyone marveled at the charm of that smile, as if the gentlest lover murmured in a low voice, or as if the most reliable partner trusted and depended on, and it also had the power of resoluteness and determination to make people follow.

Mao Xiaohua also looked up at the sculpture at this moment.

Luo Huan, carved out of white marble, is perfectly like a god descending from the sky, especially that smile, which makes people forget all their troubles and sorrows at a glance, and inspires courage and confidence from their hearts.

The white leopard looked at the statue, and then at the real person beside him.

People only saw the moving smile on the statue, and only saw Luo Huan who looked like a god in the sun; but only Leopard knew how sad this young man was at that time.

The leopard raised its tail slightly, encircled the young man beside him, and slid its tail lightly over his bare calf, as if to say——I will always be by your side too.

After the enthronement hall, it was Philip's funeral.

Philip's friends were either sent to the frontiers or demoted in this coup.

There are many generals who don't want to recognize him as king at all, and only want to follow Luo Huan.

And the only one, after Philip's death, died of a hunger strike, willing to follow him forever, no matter what he became, was the leopard who had made great achievements on the battlefield, swallowing blood.

Swallowing blood died on the third day after Philip's death, that is, the day Luo Huan walked out of the bedroom.

According to Hao An, the animal trainer who took care of it, that night, at the moment when Philip was assassinated, the leopard let out a loud cry, as if going mad, and tried to break out of the cage many times, even trying to bite off the leopard tied to its neck. The iron chains on it broke his teeth.

Animal trainers and veterinarians tried to treat the injured leopard, but he refused any treatment at all, refused to eat or drink, lost any survival instincts that animals should have, and died within three days.

Luo Huan buried Tunxue and Philip together. Philip had many friends in his life, but they all left him in the end.

He used to have lovers, but they either betrayed him or used him one by one.

He had a son, but he was killed by his own hands.

Only the leopard by his side, accompany him through life and death, no matter what he becomes, no matter what the circumstances, he is still by his side.

Philip's tomb is in the barren hill outside the city, where the kings of Royce were buried.

When Luo Huan stood in front of the tomb and raised his head slightly, the guards behind him stood quietly.The sun shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

At this moment, when Philip's tombstone was erected, Royce's old era has completely ended; and a new era, marked by the newly erected sculpture in the center of the city square, officially opened up the curtain.

Mao Xiaohua's life has become more comfortable after Luo Huan ascended the throne. Now he can run into the garden at will and tear down those precious flowers and trees at will. Like before, he ran to Luo Huan and asked him to lose money.

It's a pity that Mao Xiaohua doesn't have much interest in tearing down those flowers now. He has become a little listless recently, and he can't get excited about doing anything.

Not only that, Mao Xiaohua didn't like to climb Luo Huan's bed anymore, he preferred to stay in his room during the day and climb up the tree to observe the stars at night.

Such an abnormal behavior makes Rhubarb, who is also a cat, very disgusted.

Especially one day, when Luo Huan was processing documents and issuing transfer orders, while Da Huang was working hard to catch mice, and Mao Xiaohua was napping at Luo Huan's feet, Da Huang couldn't stand it anymore.

"Little Hua!" Da Huang jumped off the beam with a mouse in his mouth, "What's the matter with you? How can you fall asleep at such a time?"

Mao Xiaohua scratched her ear and opened one eye: "Did something happen?"

"Just now your master saw you so many times! He even called your name, and you were just sleeping!" Rhubarb was indignant for Luo Huan, "It's really weird that Nanbao made you like this! Don't you call yourself Is it the species that loves its master the most? Not even a proud cat like me!"

Mao Xiaohua suddenly felt ashamed.

He turned his head slightly, looked at Luo Huan who was sitting by the chair beside him, and found that his eyebrows were wrinkled, and his expression was also a bit ugly.Maybe something happened again. In fact, since Luo Huan came to the throne, except for the smile at the statue, he almost never smiled.

Philip swallowed blood, and he knew how to guard the door, but he only knew to lie here and sleep, indeed...it shouldn't be!

Mao Xiaohua stood up, shook her hair, walked to the door, tried to sit down and be a qualified guard.

But soon, he was on his stomach, and finally, curled up on the door rug, he fell asleep.

"Your Majesty!" The animal trainers in the palace have been paying attention to Mao Xiaohua these days. This is the new king's cute pet. No matter what this leopard has done before, but now, the animal trainer Hao An must always pay attention to this leopard. Dynamic.

"I know you are very busy, but I also have to remind you of something very important." Standing in front of Luo Huan, Hao An's voice trembled slightly.

After His Majesty the King came back from Alanwei, he changed a lot. Although he hardly lost his temper, his cold aura was everywhere. Many people dared not treat him like they used to treat children.

"Speak!" Luo Huan spoke concisely while reading the document.

"It's like this, your leopard, I mean Jon, if the calculation is correct, it is already two and a half years old..."

"Important point" Luo Huan's brows tightened even more. According to the latest news, Qian Dilun had already taken control of Alan Guard, reorganized his armaments, and was attacking Bennesa.

Looking at this posture, Qian Dilun, who is making a comeback, wants to seize the position of the leader of the Federation by force?

"The point is... it's probably about to go into heat..." Hao An carefully looked at Luo Huan's face, his voice was a little trembling, he was very worried that Luo Huan's temper would become like Philip and lose his temper at him, Because a leopard is in heat, it is really nothing compared to the official duties that His Majesty the King has to deal with now.

But the fact is that Luo Huan was not angry at all. He put down the documents in his hand, walked towards Mao Xiaohua who was lying at the door, and touched the round ear: "I also think he is not in good spirits these days, I thought it was because There is no reason to take him out to play."

Seeing Luo Huan's attitude, Hao An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "No, I've been observing him for a few days. When Nan Bao comes into estrus, he doesn't care about anything around him at first. Interest, this time will last for about five or six days, and then they will become energetic, look for a mate everywhere, and crazily enclose the territory, emitting the smell of estrus, attracting female leopards. This time will last for one or two months until the whole summer is over."

Luo Huan touched Mao Xiaohua's head, sighed, and nodded: "Understood, you go down and find him a female leopard."

And the drowsy Mao Xiaohua was lying listlessly on the ground, and didn't hear the words of the animal trainer at all.He was only in a dream, dreaming that he was guarding Luo Huan and being a qualified king's cute pet.

This state of laziness finally ended on the tenth day, Mao Xiaohua began to regain her energy, and he began to destroy everywhere, it was simply an uncontrollable restlessness running through her body.

The leopard's temper becomes very irritable, and when it walks through a place, it will rub it desperately, rubbing its fur on the nearby trees or stones to show that these things are mine!

Mao Xiaohua felt that she had become sensitive again. He had the urge to tear everything apart, but this urge would disappear completely only when he saw Luo Huan.

He is full of energy now, sitting at Luo Huan's feet all year round, wrapping his tail around Luo Huan's chair, and even rubbing his hair on the chair.

When Luo Huan summoned the ministers to inspect the army, Mao Xiaohua ran to the square in the city alone, sat under the statue of Luo Huan, and looked up at the young man with a doting and gentle smile.

At this moment, when he saw the slightly raised corners of his lips refracting colorful rays of light under the sun, he would feel an unprecedented peace in his heart.

And for some painters in the square, the most troublesome thing is this leopard.

They all recognized that it was His Majesty's pet, but... why did this pet run to the statue every day, and go crazy about the statue? ! !It’s okay to be a nympho, but the problem is that it blocks itself from drawing sketches!

The most troublesome thing is yet to come. Ever since Mao Xiaohua saw those free wandering painters in the square using Luo Huan's sculpture as a model for portraits, she had a new idea.

He put his furry paws on those canvases, opened his eyes desperately, and prevented those painters from sketching—unless, when those painters were painting, they drew this leopard and sculpture together! !

All the painters felt powerless towards this leopard, and they refused to draw such artless paintings.

Only a young boy with blond curly hair, holding his own drawing board, satisfied Mao Xiaohua's request.

Mao Xiaohua squatted next to Luo Huan's sculpture all afternoon, acting as a model for that boy.

On the drawing paper, the mighty and handsome king rode his horse, while the leopard with two shining eyes looked at its master with love on its face.

The majestic meeting hall was behind them, and the sun fell from the sky, blurring the whole picture into a dreamlike blur.

"For you!" The boy tore off his painting and gave it to Mao Xiaohua.

Mao Xiaohua was very excited, holding the painting in her mouth, and ran back to the palace, planning to find Luo Huan and give this painting to the king who had never shown his face.

But when she came to the door of Luo Huan's bedroom, Mao Xiaohua's ears keenly picked up another sound.

It was rustling, the sound of undressing.

Mao Xiaohua stretched out her claws, gently pushed the door open, and looked inside through the crack of the door.

After just one glance, Mao Xiaohua was stunned! !

On Luo Huan's bed, lay a girl with bare shoulders. The girl was curled up in the middle of the big bed, covered with a quilt, a little apprehensive, but also a little hopeful.

Standing next to the girl was the Queen Mother Perik, who was teaching the girl: "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, and he has lost weight these days. I have never seen him smile since he ascended the throne. You should know what to do before you Can you please a man?"
