Ivasha cast a glance at the book in Jared's hand. Following that, Jared explained, “This is a book on alchemy I wrote for the beast race. It contains a lot of alchemy techniques and pharmacological knowledge the beast race can use to cultivate.”
“You wrote it?” Ivasha took the book with a surprised expression on her face. Flipping through it, she found that it indeed contained alchemy techniques. Such a book had never existed in the library.
When she shifted her eyes back to him, her gaze carried much intrigue and admiration. She slowly returned the book to him.
Meanwhile, Tigerus was livid upon glimpsing the look in her eyes as she regarded Jared.
“This book doesn't belong to the library, so he's free to take it out,” Ivasha said to Tigerus.
“As the general guarding over Imperial Beast City, Princess Ivasha, I can't ever allow—”
Slap!
Before Tigerus had finished speaking, Ivasha stepped forward and smacked him across the face.
“Remember this—my word is the law. How dare you go against my orders?”
Her temper spiked.
Seeing that, Tigerus lowered his head and said nothing further.
“Let's go!”
Ivasha then left with Jared.
As Tigerus stared at the duo's retreating backs, the malice in his eyes intensified.
“Were you looking for me for a reason, Princess Ivasha?” Jared queried.
After all, Ivasha must have gone to the library to seek him out since she could not possibly be there to look for Tigerus.
“Leifr came to Imperial Beast City in search of me. He said a friend of yours was looking for you while littered with injuries, seemingly claiming that disaster had befallen Rock Village,” Ivasha answered.
As soon as Jared heard that, he stood stock-still. A terrifying murderous intent emanated from him.
Even Ivasha was a touch petrified by his sudden change.
“Where's that friend of mine?” Jared demanded, with murder radiating off him.
“He's under Leifr's protection, so he'll be fine. Leifr is waiting at the city gates right now,” Ivasha replied timidly, eyeing the man warily.
