325: ENTHUSIASM IN THEIR EYES

ENTHUSIASM IN THEIR EYES

There were seven warriors around Iris, including Trion, who listened to her attentively, as the luna taught them how to recognize the alphabet of the Ogregon language. They were already intelligent to begin with, thus it was not difficult to teach them, as they learned pretty fast. 0

Those seven warriors looked very enthusiastic to learn something that exclusively could only be learned by the highborn and those privilege families.

On the side, Avid watched his fellow warriors studied diligently. It had never crossed his mind the luna, the daughter of alpha Gerald, would do this for them. She went extra length to teach the children and lowborn warriors.

Someone with high position like her, shouldn't be bothered, but here she was, being very patient with the question the warriors asked.

Though the luna was not alone and Hanna helped her, still, it was her idea to get them a better education.

As for Avid, he didn't teach his fellow warrior because they had never asked, as they were under the idea it was not necessary for them to learn such thing, more so, they had more important thing to do and had no time for this.

As it turned out, they really liked learning new thing, especially now when they didn't have many things to do, since prince Kellan was not here and they didn't need to keep their eyes on his movements.

Avid felt bad for how he treated the luna the first time they met, it was that time when he was badly injured and she took the pain to take care of someone like him. He felt so bad how he had yelled at her, more so for what happened to her after that.

The luna had forgiven her, but the regret would be forever engraved in his heart. He chuckled when he saw Trion tried to read for the first time from a paragraph in the book Iris brought with her. Trion stumbled with words, but finished it nicely, there was a satisfied smile on the warrior's lips, as he looked so proud of himself and Iris clapped her hands to give him an appreciation.

The other six warriors became a little bit competitive, which looked so silly in Avid's eyes, since he used to see them brawling with each other as they competed on who would look better, but right now, they couldn't be aggressive in front of the luna.

However, when Avid was enjoying the sight, he suddenly sensed someone got closer, more so, he felt the monster nearby. It was not only him, because soon after, the seven warriors around Iris stood up and created a defense in front of their luna.

Iris looked confused with the sudden tension, she looked at Hanna, who was standing next to her.

"There is someone coming and a monster."

"A monster?" Iris furrowed her brows. She tiptoed to look at through the warriors' shoulders, as they were very tall and literally covered her existence completely.

But then, in the distance, she saw what kind of monster that made these warriors worked up. The monster in question waddled toward them lazily, as if it was already an effort for this creature to move it big butt. Its fur was as white as the snow and its tongue lulled to the side of its muzzle.

Lil Thing walked toward the hostile warriors without any sense of danger at all, as the eight of them growled at this creature with warning, yet it looked dumb and had no sense of awareness of its surroundings whatsoever.

Trion and the other two warriors were ready to shift into their beast, as Lil Thing came closer, but Iris stopped them.

"It's okay, I know this creature," Iris said, as she tried to squeeze her body out of their protection.

"You shouldn't approach the creature, luna!" Avid said, as he stood between Iris and the white bear, which looked so excited to see its favorite human.

"It's okay, I have already met this creature a few times," Iris told Avid to back away.

Hanna came to Iris's side, as she asked her missy after nudging her to get her attention. "Is that Lil Thing that you have talked about?" she saw the creature the first time when Lou brought it to the orphanage not so long ago.

"Yes." Iris nodded and walked closer to the white bear, but Avid still stayed close to her, ready to take an action if this monster turned violence.

"There is nothing little about this creature." Hanna frowned, this beast was easily twice her height when it stood on its hind legs, the size alone was thrice if it was not four times her size.

Iris chuckled and walked closer to Lil Thing and extended her hand, but Avid immediately held her back. "What are you doing? It is a monster! I know this monster belongs to that merchant, but it is still a monster."

Avid and Trion went with them to the black market, but they stayed in the town nearby and didn't come to the black market itself, thus they didn't really know about Lil Thing and this was the first time for them to see the creature, since they were not here when Lou came with Lil Thing the last time.

"It's okay. Its size is a little bit intimidating, but Lil Thing is as good as a puppy." Iris smiled and put away his hand, as she came closer to Lil Thing, which it lowered its head and let her to caress its muzzle.

All of them dumbstruck to see how easy their Luna was around this monster.

"I think we will continue our lesson tomorrow," Iris said, as she turned around to see the warriors behind her, who still looked so concern with the proximity between her and this huge furball. "I will see you again tomorrow, okay? You can leave now."

Reluctantly, they went back to their own post, but Avid and Trion stayed with their luna and Hanna, since this creature was still nearby and they saw it as a threat.

"Why this creature is here?" Hanna asked, she caressed its soft fur and it showed its belly. Iris was right, this creature acted like puppy. "If this creature is here, the merchant must be around too, right?"

As if answering Hanna's question, Lou appeared not so long after. He looked worried, but then sighed in relief when he saw Lil Thing.

"I have looked for you everywhere!" he cried, as he approached his pet. "Where have you been? Why are you wondering off on your own?"

Seeing this bad acting that the merchant displayed to them, Trion and Avid scoffed, but it was actually Hanna, who spoke.

"What do you mean you have been looking for this white bear? You have been standing there, since the beginning," Hanna said fiercely, as she pointed the spot, where Lou had been hiding, waiting for a good time to appear, so it would look like he entered the orphanage not because of his own will.

Lou cleared his throat, he thought he had stood far enough for them not to smell his scent. "How are you, Iris? It has been a long time!" He smiled brilliantly.
