Beauty in the beast world-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.

And that made Blake laugh. He could see what was running inside his aid’s mind just by looking at the latter’s face. Blake knew that as a king no one could revoke his decisions but still, he wanted to understand his tribesmen better, and what better way to do this other than asking Peter? The latter has been the sole leader of the snake tribe for many long years. Snake beastmen in general didn’t have a tribe to call as thier own for centuries until Blake decided to create one for his own and the one that greatly supported him throughout this matter was none other than Peter. However, after creating the tribe, Blake soon felt bored with it and decided to travel outside. He kept on wandering from one place to another until coming across his beautiful Lilly.

His mate was his motivation in becoming the King of the snake tribe and actually growing it into a strong tribe that one day might turn out beneficial for his family. This was his selfish reason for taking charge of his tribe and hence, Blake felt the need to ask Peter regarding the tribe’s matters because the latter was selfless and just in managing the tribe unlike Blake who was only a king to keep his mate and babies more safe.

With that concluded, he left Peter to make arrangements for the Vulture tribe before going to his mate.

Lyra felt an arm encircling her waist and heard, "Let us go, Lilly. It’s time for the afternoon meal’’

"But I have too many things to discuss," She said turning towards him. The other snake females tactfully retreated as soon as they saw their king. Just like the former, thier mates too urged them to leave with them so they could have lunch. However, the females were very reluctant to leave as they wanted to continue talking with thier queen regarding the banquet. There was too much work and they hoped to get it completed before the sun sets.

Lyra was having the same thoughts, "I already had heavy breakfast....’’ she wanted to convince her mate as much as she could, "I want to stay here and look after the arrangements. Please, Blake.....’’

Blake was in turmoil facing his mate’s pleading face. One side of him wanted to take her back to their home as soon as possible because he saw some of his bachelor tribesmen gawking at his mate. It seemed like they couldn’t take thier eyes off of his mate and this irked Blake to no end. His mate is thier queen but that didn’t seem enough for them back away. Blake wanted to bury them right here but held back. His mate was here with him and he couldn’t lose his composure.

His restlessness would stop if he took his mate back inside the snake castle but Blake was weak against his mate’s request, "Please....Please, Blake’’ Once again, she adorably pleaded while holding his hands making him sigh.

"Alright, You can do as you want’’ When he finally gave in, Lyra’s face brightened in delight. She gave her mate a quick hug before sprinting towards the snake females. Seeing this, the snake males didn’t have the heart to hold thier females back and also let thier mates go.

Blake smiled at his mate before turning his attention to his tribesmen. And when he saw the bachelor males, his gaze suddenly hardened. The males who felt a strong glare at them, turned to only find thier king looking at them icily.

"All of you!’’ Blake’s voice boomed around them, "Get into formation, we are going on a hunt today’’

That was all it took for the snake males to shift into thier beast forms. With them, Blake too shifted before slithering out of the snake tribe trailed by many gigantic snakes behind him.
