Chapter 4. I Want Your House

Even though she didn’t mean to, her voice gradually diminished. Eliza tried to force her head, which was naturally sinking, to rise stiffly.

“What’s wrong with that?”

What’s wrong with that?

For a moment, Eliza rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had heard wrong.

“Are you serious?”

“Hm.”

“Don’t you know that if you have someone other than your partner during the mating season, you’re in big trouble?”

The two eyes, wide with absurdity, looked like a tiger.

“I know… but what’s wrong with that?”

“What’s wrong with that…….”

“Oh. Are you going to pounce on me when I’m in mating season?”

“What…!”

The rabbit’s mouth stopped as it tried to refute. The tiger gradually transformed into a human before her eyes, slowly turning each page of the illustration.

The sharp teeth became blunt. The place where the small ears had been was covered by thick hair, and instead of the original ears, human ears stood out.

The moment he slowly closed and raised his eyelids, clear pupils that were not those of an animal shone on Eliza.

The appearance of the beginning. The n*ked man, not wearing a single thread, stretched out his pure white arms and picked up the rabbit.

“Does the rabbit dare to attack me right now?”

Even though he turned into a human, his huge body did not change, and his balanced muscles were enough to lift the rabbit with one hand.

The tiger, which had become a man, whispered, slowly closing his drooping eyes.

“That would be fun. Try it.”

Unlike the tingling sensation from before, a throbbing sensation stabbed her chest. Was it because of the brightly shining eyes? Or was it because of the clean whites of his eyes that didn’t show the lines of a human? Either way, it was clear that she was helplessly held by him. Eliza flailed her hands and feet and shouted.

“Put me down! Put me down!”

“Where should I put you down? On the stomach? On the chest?”

The man smiled with narrowed eyes. He could see with pl*asure the way she flailed her limbs to escape his grasp.

“Ah, I guess a rabbit with a high spirit prefers my thighs.”

This crazy bastard.

Eliza, whose patience had reached its limit, opened her mouth wide. Bite. Her hard front teeth mercilessly bit the fingers moving in front of her eyes.

The sudden pain made his grip loosen. Eliza didn’t miss that moment and escaped the tiger’s grasp.

The feeling of the tiger’s hand still remained in her mouth, making her feel uncomfortable. Eliza roughly rubbed the corner of her mouth and said.

“Even if I was in heat and couldn’t even tell things apart, I would avoid you. I won’t do it even if I die.”

He looked at his fingers with clear teeth marks and then turned his gaze to look down. She thought he would be angry since she hurt him. His expression didn’t change at all.

“Then there would be no reason to send me away, right?”

“You haven’t forgotten that this is my house, have you?”

“You brought me into that house.”

He stretched slowly and said.

“You picked me up, so you have to take responsibility.”

The long legs that had formed as he transformed into a human body stretched out over the blanket. It seemed like he didn’t know any shame, like the primordial creatures. It was definitely a perfect body without a single flaw, but Eliza’s situation was different.

She turned her gaze to the side in embarrassment.

“And I just got another wound.”

He wiggled his bitten fingers and the corners of his mouth hung.

‘I should have just let you die.’

A belated regret surged up in her chest. It was all because the people living in the castle were lax in their defenses. If only they had stood guard so that the tiger wouldn’t be on the mountain behind her, this wouldn’t have happened.

“Lennox.”

“…What?”

The tiger pointed at himself and said.

“Not you, Lennox. We’re going to live together from now on, so shouldn’t we share our names?”

Eliza turned her head away coldly at his declaration that he would stay in this room.

There was no way she would tell the ruffian his name. Eliza left the room and slammed the door shut.

“Hah! It’s not like there’s only one room.”

She crossed her arms, grumbling.

The place was built to be small, but Eliza didn’t feel any inconvenience living alone. In fact, it was better than a room in the main palace. It is so spacious there that she had no idea what to do.

“Of course… there’s only one bed.”

Eliza walked with a plodding pace. She couldn’t use all the rooms by herself. That’s why there weren’t many rooms that were cleaned.

Not only that, but since last year, even the servants from the main palace stopped coming. The supplies that had been provided irregularly also disappeared because they stopped coming.

She had to provide most of the things she needed to live on her own.

There was a spare blanket, but the problem was that it was in that room. Eliza stared blankly at the door she had closed and left.

‘Surely he won’t come out.’

For several days, he hadn’t eaten anything except the rice she had forced into him. He was several times bigger than her, so he would definitely feel hungry soon.

“…I should water the garden.”
