“I’m going to the church.” I said stiffly.


    “I will go with you.” The little lionkin girl declared.


    “I will as well.” The thirteen-year-old fairy girl added.


    “Why do you need to go?” I cried out toward the maid girl. “Neither of you need to come!”


    “My lord, First said a lioness must guard you at all times. You left everyone else behind. I must guard my lord!” The lionkin girl squeaked.


    “Master, Mistress Faeyna said that when Master is in the capital, I must attend to him at all times,” the maid cried. “She only just let me on my own to watch this household. She only just gave me enough trust to watch this property yesterday. I wasn’t expecting Master so soon, but I’ll do my best!”


    “Okay...” I looked at her consideringly.@@@@


    “Please say your story was less depressing...”


    “Of course.” The lionkin girl declared confidently, crossing her arms. “I lived a very happy life.”


    “That’s good.”


    “My sister and I were forcefully taken from our parents at a young age. I was put into a program where I had to make my first kill by five. Lionesses must compete for being the top. It’s cutthroat, and death is common. I lived with my life on the edge, allowing me to reach level thirty even though I’m only 9. Hehe... I only experienced death twice.”


    “Haaaah?”


    “Of course, I was also trained in the sexual arts. It’s all in preparation so when I came of age and was given to King Roth. If I didn’t work myself to death, then there was a real risk I would have also been thrown away, which is why I’ll do my bodyguard duty properly!”


    “...”


    So, that was how I ended up walking through the capital adjoined with two loli- ahem... young children.
