Chapter 5: Banquet
After coaxing Lucas for some time, they both finally left for the banquet. Lyra was very excited to see the beast world and kept on darting her blue eyes everywhere.
There were many beast-men from various kinds of species like lions, tigers, and wolves. They were roaming around the banquet with vitality. she even saw many types of birds flying, so she guessed that they might be bird-type beastmen. After taking in the view, they went to sit near a bonfire. Nobody noticed them because Lyra was draped in thin animal skin and only her eyes were visible.
After sitting, Lucas started the conversation "Beast kings gather near that plaza. One of the beast kings is my father" he said smugly
Then Lyra saw someone who resembled Lucas walking towards the plaza and exclaimed "You are a prince!?"
He smiled "Yes I am"
"Then why are you sitting here and your father there?" shouldn't royal families receive some privilege. 'Why was he sitting here on the ground?'
"Dummy, why should I sit there? That position only belongs to my father. In the future when I become stronger, I can duel my father and become the king. But if another wolf is even stronger than me, then he will become the king even if he is not from the royal family"
"Oh" she still needed to understand the customs here. She was still thinking based on her world, well she can slowly learn.
Then as she observed the plaza, she saw three more beastmen sitting in the other king's seat. she was not able to distinguish between their kinds because of their human form, so she turned toward Lucas.
As he understood her gaze, he started explaining, "The one on the right side of my father is the lion king and left to my father is the eagle king and the last one is the most intelligent beastman in the whole beast world the fox king. But I don't like him"
"Why?"
