Chapter 182: Don’t Touch The Female.

Chapter 182: 182: Don’t Touch The Female.

"Don’t worry about the wild cat. They gave him some temporary treatment.. he should be okay now since he’s still discussing with the tribe lords and brother," Rai said.

"I wonder what they’re talking about for so long..." Ayra sighed.

"I’m sure brother and the others are defending you. So soon, they should be able to convince Nyx to also like you!" Navi, the brown monkey, smiled.

Ayra smiled at them. "I guess so..."

Soon, a group of elders instantly arrived at the scene. They had gone out to get some crafts they’d made for the little ones after hearing the news.

"Here, have this," they handed out the carvings they’d made for toys. And also some clothing they made for the little ones.

"Soon, they’ll take beastman forms. So these clothes should be perfect for them," one of the elders said proudly.

Another ran a hand through his hair and asked, "But what if the clothes don’t suit them then..?"

The elder blinked in thought. "Oh, then I guess we’ll have to make another..."

Ayra smiled at their words as she showed gratitude. Sitting there, she had been receiving heartfelt gifts and visits from the beastmen around the tribe.

Some coming with their gifts of fruits and meat which the guards took back to Ayra’s place. And some coming to admire and play with the little ones.

The tribe almost never saw cubs. So having one of their own in their tribe made them all happy.

Commander Lynn was standing close to the door with his arms folded as he watched the conversation go on.

The tribe lords were seated with Nyx, having a discussion about Ayra.

Nyx was furious to know how they’d accepted Ayra and even had cubs with her. He didn’t believe their words of her and believed she was still vicious for what she did.

But they tried to talk to him to understand her. He wasn’t listening.

"She’s still evil and malicious.. I almost lost my life there and she is also responsible for it..." Nyx said. "So I don’t support it at all."

"Yes.. she was like that and we also felt the same..." Lord Vale said. "But when we learned about her better, we understood her better. So maybe you could..."

"I’ll never understand her. I only know her as the malicious F-rank female and that’s all..."

They continued back and forth but nothing was yielding. They had even told him tales of how the female had helped their tribe and people around. But the wild cat was still persistent as he ultimately said while standing up.

"If you all are choosing to close your eyes and accept her, count me out. I won’t," he said firmly. "And I will make sure I make her pay for what she did..."

"I understand how you feel.. and we’re deeply sorry for what the people of the Silvermoon tribe did to you.. we even promise to make it up to you by getting your revenge on them.... But," Lord Zark paused, staring up at him.

"...I won’t let you lay a finger on her... She is my female and has my cub and I won’t let anyone harm anyone dear to me.." Lord Zark, his eyes filled with possession and rage.

Nyx was standing as he stared at him. He was speechless as he clenched his fist. "We’ll see about that then..." He said as he furiously stepped out.

They all stood there quietly, staring into the distance.

"We should give him some time..." Lord Vale said. "His fury is valid. So we should hope he understands and forgives the female..."

Lord Ash nodded. "True." But Lord Zark folded his arms in fury.

They stared up at Commander Lynn.

"How’s she doing? How about the cubs and all...?" Lord Vale asked.

"She’s sitting outside with them," he explained.

They stood up and said, "We should go and see our little ones then," Lord Vale said. "I’m already missing them."

Commander Lynn nodded as he said, "And I’ll go send Nyx to his room."

The tribe lords soon arrived at the bustling night scene where Ayra and the rest were sitting close to the campfire.

Lord Vale instantly bent down before the snakes and smiled. "Papa is here," he smiled as the snakes stopped circling the apple and stared up at him.

He stretched out his finger at them. "How are you doing..."

The snakes approached closer. One of them ran his tongue through Lord Vale’s finger and immediately began circling him.

The rest joined him and began moving around Lord Vale. The snakes moved so fast in a flash that Lord Vale fell to his butt.

Lord Ash laughed hard as he said, "I guess they finally recognize their father."

Ayra and the rest smiled at the scene as Lord Vale sat up, carrying the snakes that were now in his arms.

"You little rascals... I guess we already know you’re A-ranks from your bites.. tsk tsk tsk," he shook his head. "Bad snake, don’t bite your uncle like that, okay?"

But the snakes didn’t care. They struggled while moving around actively in his arms.

Ayra smiled as she said, "How’s he doing? Is the bite serious?"

Lord Ash folded his arms as he said, "It sure is. We temporarily stopped the pain and effects with medications available. But I don’t know how long that will last..."

Ayra sighed. "I’d like to help but I doubt he even wants to see me..."

They all nodded with a sigh. Lord Ash explained how they tried talking to him but he didn’t pay attention at all.

"He’ll come around.." Lord Vale assured, patting the snakes in his arms. "Just give him some time... And also try getting on his good side."

Ayra nodded. "Sure." She definitely had to do so if she wanted to survive! She didn’t want any wild cat chasing her around to kill her!

"But what happened...?" Lord Vale stared at her. "How did it all happen...?"

There was silence as they stared at Ayra, curious to hear what she had to say about the situation at hand.
