Vex didn`t immediately take action against me which is how I managed to salvage the situation.

　　I told her how such pathetic creatures were not worth of a glorious leader.

　　I didn`t do it because I hate cats, this point must not be understated.

　　I did it because I loath cats.

　　Filthy vermin&

　　Ah, were was I&

　　Right, how a leader needs the best minions.

　　Since every cat lover loves them so much, I turned the tables on Vex.

　　Cat-type creatures are sinister.

　　Think back, think!If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it`s taken without the author`s consent. Report it.

　　Remember how they flee from cuddling?

　　Remember how they disdainfully stare at their food as if it`s not good enough?

　　Remember how they leave dead creatures in your footwear to show their hatred?

　　That`s right!

　　There`s a far superior creature that doubles as a supreme pet!

　　Canine-types!

　　Dogs! Wolves! Foxes! Kitsune!

　　Their superiority is so obvious, I`m actually shocked such a great leader hadn`t considered them yet.

　　Of course, Vex wasn`t convinced right off the bat.

　　So I tweaked a few of the genes of some samples I kept on hand.

　　Shadow dogs.

　　Shadow foxes.

　　Ninja shadow wolves.

　　There were also a few more that I haven`t found names for yet, regardless each one is unique and unrivalled.

　　As a side result the cat-type population around Vex`s castle has died out largely due to the moss.

　　The innocent canine-types had nothing to do with it.

　　Hmm there`s another canine one with a dead cat creature in its mouth&perhaps they are very nutritious? Yes, that must be it.

　　Well, things are fine now anyways.

　　After introducing the canine-types, Vex was won over almost completely.

　　A huge selling point is their solid loyalty.

　　She can string them up, beat them, torture them, fry them, fricassee them, it doesn`t matter!

　　They still give devoted cuddles!

　　I`m such a genius!

　　Dryad simply had no words for my awesomeness.

　　Yes, now that things have been resolved I`m going to take a nap.

　　I`m not an idiot though, I`ve carefully left a large amount of security measures in place.

　　Vex and Dryad get along nice, true, however I`m just nervous.

　　My recent, to me, occurrence with the Green Lady Kidnapping Incident has perhaps made me a bit&cautious.

　　Not completely batshit crazy, just cautious.

　　The mines, carnivorous blood moss, explosive nettles, shadow predators, and of course my Domain are merely me being safety-conscious.

　　Anyone would be strained in this place, so I don`t feel bad about all the lethality guarding me.

　　I`m a Tree, it isn`t paranoia since things like woodcutters exist in the world.

　　Paranoia is when they aren`t out to get you, and you still take drastic measures.
