"Enough! Cease with your polite words and trivial niceties!" she declared, her tone laden with irritability.
With a fierce expression on her beautiful face, the princess urged her formidable Cloud Beast, a creature cloaked in billowing fur and ethereal energy, forward and launched an aggressive assault against Caius— a flurry of claws and teeth.
Yet Caius, displaying a blend of elegance and agility, dodged each attack with ease, his face betraying neither concern nor trouble.
"This mighty Cloud Beast, renowned as the king of all beasts, possesses extraordinary abilities, yet in the princess's inexperienced hands, it looks like a waste."
