Chapter 273: The mingling
Before allowing the vulture tribe inside his tribe, Blake felt like it was right to discuss this matter with the one that was actually in charge of taking care of the snake tribe, Peter. Blake might be the king but the one that genuinely managed and protected the tribe was Peter. The tribesmen were closer to the latter than to him and Blake couldn’t help but admit that even his babies were more familiar with the tribe than he was.
His little ones loved staying in the snake tribe and his tribesmen liked having their princes with them. This sometimes worried Blake. All of his snakelings were strong and well-revered so it would be inevitable for them to not fight each other in the future due to the right to the throne. Or some other powerful snake beastman might challenge and defeat his little ones and take the throne. Anything could happen but Blake wished his little ones would always remember their brotherhood and stay together even during all these ordeals.
Blake was alright with someone else taking the king’s seat as long as the said person was fair and righteous. Or else he would gladly end the new king before placing someone deserving in that same seat.
"Blake, Can I come with you?" His thoughts came to a halt when he heard his mate’s sweet voice. She was eagerly looking at him while adding, "While you discuss things with Peter, I want to talk to the females about today’s banquet"
He frowned in confusion at her words, "Why with the females? The one who organizes the banquets are mostly males"
Lyra pursed her lips, "But I want to include females this time" She wanted the familiarize herself with the Snake females. They were so sweet during their last meeting and Lyra had to admit that she was getting bored with always staying with her mates.
Yes, she enjoyed her mates’ company but sometimes wished she had someone that had the same interests as her. Lyra wanted to talk about skincare, and clothing, and make friends. Too much testosterone was suffocating her.
As Lyra was thinking like this, Blake had his thoughts. Females hated working or that was how it was in the Beast world. And when they tried to do something, their males would stop them. Males would be wretched if they see their mates doing even a minor chore. The beastmen took pride in providing and protecting their female.
So, Blake was not very sure if his mate’s plan would work, but he was soon proven wrong when he saw his Lilly laughing and chattering with the females of his tribe. As soon as his mate informed the females about the banquet, they all squealed in excitement making the males flinch in their places.
Blake smiled seeing his Lilly grin in delight while explaining to the snake females about her plans for tonight’s bonfire. After gazing at his mate to his heart’s content, he returned his gaze to Peter who was conversing with him, "I hope you don’t mind the Vulture tribe staying here"
Peter glared at his king, "Whatever do you mean by that, my lord? Why are you asking for my permission suddenly? This is unlike you" He was doubting that his was lord teasing him.
