"So, I guess we are done for this hunt?" Theo asked with a frown. Seeing the panther's condition, he felt uneasy; there was no way a tamed beast should be kept in such a state.
"No, we can still let you fight more. I will stay and protect you if needed, Theo," Lucien replied as he got to his feet.
He glanced at his ape, which had picked up the panther in its hand and now stood there casually, as if nothing had happened.
"But… isn't it hurt?" Theo asked, his frown deepening.
Lucien shook his head.
"We can head back if you want, elder brother. Your new beast's health doesn't look that great," Theo insisted.
"Theo, listen to me." Lucien just stopped him and spoke calmly. "Beasts are a lot hardier than we realize. I have already fed it several potions; it will be fine."
As he said that, his gaze shifted upward, and a smile soon formed on his face.
"But it looks like you have already started with the hunt huh?" he muttered.
