Chapter 2717Chapter 2717 My Door Is Always Open
The mention of the topic filled Tigerus' eyes with disappointment due to his feelings for Ivasha. He
couldn't marry her because his status was lower than Xandros and Yuven would never let his daughter
marry a subordinate.
The look on Tigerus' face elicited a devious smile from Xandros as he grumbled, “Mighty Tigerus, I'm
sure you haven't realized that I'll never be together with Ivasha. She doesn't like me, as she has been
seduced by that human, Jared. I'll be honest with you. I saw them hugging each other and being
intimate today. I wanted to kill him but didn't do so out of respect for the laws of the city. I know Ivasha
has no feelings for me, and I have no intention of marrying a woman who doesn't like me. Even then,
how can she fall for a human? Jared isn't particularly powerful, so what's the big deal about him? I'm
also well aware of your interest in Ivasha. Logically speaking, you should be together with her after all
the sacrifices you have made for the city. But you might just be nothing more than a mere servant in
King Yuven's eyes.”
Xandros let out a sigh as if to express his indignance on Tigerus' behalf.
Tigerus fell silent upon listening to Xandros' words, but Xandros could tell from the look on Tigerus'
face that his stance was wavering.
Seizing upon the opportunity, Xandros continued, “Mighty Tigerus, once Princess Ivasha learns of your
earlier scuffle with Jared, she might even reprimand you for it. By then, King Yuven might not decide to
stand up for you but end up punishing you instead.”
No sooner had Xandros finished than a feminine voice could be heard screaming from outside.
“Tigerus, get your sorry ass out here at once!”Tigerus' brows furrowed in response, for he could recognize the voice as Princess Ivasha's.
Left without a choice, Tigerus walked out with a frown.
The moment she saw Tigerus, Ivasha gave him a tongue lashing.
“Tigerus, how dare you lay a finger on Jared? Don't you know that he's a guest of Imperial Beast City?
Moreover, fighting isn't allowed within the city's compound. As the general of the royal guards, how
could you openly break the law? Let me warn you. I'm not going to forgive you the next time you harm
Jared. I'll definitely get my father to punish you accordingly!”
With that, Ivasha stormed off without even giving Tigerus the chance to explain.
Watching how Ivasha had come to Jared's defense intensified Tigerus' rage and hatred toward Jared.
He gritted his teeth and balled his hands into fists. “Jared, I'm going to tear you to shreds if that's the
last thing I do!”
“Mighty Tigerus, I was right, wasn't I? Our real enemy now is Jared. Only with him gone would Ivasha
change her mind. By then, I'll definitely leave Imperial Beast City and won't compete with you for her
hand,” Xandros said.
“Prince Xandros, thank you for thinking highly of me. I'm really sorry that I can't become a sworn
brother of yours. As a general of the royal guards of Imperial Beast City, doing so will definitely earn me
the wrath of King Yuven.”
Tigerus didn't allow his anger to cloud his judgment.
He did see Jared as his love rival and wanted to kill him, but he had no desire to betray Yuven at all.“It was just a casual comment, Mighty Tigerus. You can forget what I said if you disagree. However, my
door is always open anytime you change your mind. I'll be staying in the city for a while still.”
After he finished, Xandros took his leave.
A short while after his departure, a city guard hurriedly arrived.
