Chapter 236: Two sides

[EAGLE TRIBE]

Nathan cast a worried glance at his king’s room. Kyrell had not yet gained consciousness, creating turmoil in their tribe. The elders were angry with their future queen who they deemed responsible for their king’s current condition while the tribesmen were terrified of possible attack by stray beasts due to the king’s absence. The entirety of their future inside the beast city now depended on their king. He had to recover as soon as possible or worse might happen.

But never in his life had he imagined his thoughts coming into reality very soon. He dazedly looked as a female opened the door to the king’s room. He was late in stopping her because the elders entered the room right behind her.

"Lady Alice?’’ Nathan quickly called as he entered the room. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Mahogany brown hair that reached her waist and sharp green eyes that peered into one’s soul.

"It’s been a long time, Nate" Her familiar voice reached his ears and he replied, "It indeed has been, my lady"

"And this is what awaits my return?" Suddenly her voice turned sharp as she added, "Which wench was responsible for this!?"

Nathan frowned. He didn’t like how Alice addressed Lady Lyra.

"Answer me, Nate!" Alice’s loud voice brought him out of his thoughts.

He straightened himself before replying curtly, "I’m not obligated to answer you, my lady. The only person I serve is King Kyrell" he may be the one in a lower position but that did not mean for him to put himself down just to cater the whims of this female.

"How dare you!?" Alice exclaimed, "Don’t you know who I am!?"

"I know, my lady" retorted Nathan, "You are sister to his majesty’s late friend"

"And Kyrell treasures me greatly" Alice added haughtily but her eyes were trembling with anger and sadness, "You dare talk like that to me even after knowing that?"

Nathan frowned and clenched his fists but soon closed his eyes and lowered his head, "I apologize, my lady"

Alice smirked knowingly and then sauntered toward the bed where Kyrell was lying. Her eyes filled with tears as she took in Kyrell’s battered form. The mighty warrior and her most beloved was lying without any consciousness. She kneeled on the ground beside the bed and captured his large hand between her two small hands as she asked, "What happened to you? Wh-why are you like this?"

Alice had already briefly heard about Kyrell having a female and him getting beaten up by that female’s mates. She had a hard time believing that when one of the elders mentioned it. Kyrell is an immortal beastman and that too with some kind of mystic powers. He has always been a great person for their tribe. But for him to fall into such a condition...and her doubts were quickly cleared up when he learned of Kyrell’s female having multiple immortal beastmen by her side.

"That greedy wench!" she uttered bitterly. Her heart was breaking for Kyrell. How could someone even do this to him?

When Alice expressed her feelings for him in the past, Kyrell resolutely refused it. She felt sad and angry in the beginning but soon that went away. She had seen Kyrell from a young age. The things that he went through due to his father the late Eagle King were nothing less than hell. She had seen everything from the unfair treatment that he received to his going berserk at her brother’s death.

She too felt like her world collapsed when her brother, Noel was killed by the late eagle king. She wanted to rush to him and ask for justice but Kyrell was the one that sent her to another tribe to keep her safe. She still remembered his last words as she left the Eagle tribe, "You have to live"

There was so much pain and desperation in his voice and she was not able to stop herself from answering, "I will.....for you" That was all. She traveled countless days to stay away from the late eagle king’s eyes and settled in a village near the sea.

Every day there, she thought of Kyrell. She wanted nothing but him to be happy. Be it with her or someone else she did not care. She wanted him to be happy and that’s all. However here she was seeing him injured beyond measure and unconscious enough to not see her.

"Please, wake up" she pleaded earnestly but received no answer in return. Then she glanced at the witch master standing near Kyrell’s bed, "When will he wake up?"

The witch master dejectedly lowered his head saying, "I cannot be sure, my lady. His Majesty is strong compared to other beastman and should have woken up by now. But having been injured by his fellow immortal beastmen is taking a toll on him. It might take longer for him to heal"

"Do whatever you can" said Alice, "I don’t care what treatment...just make him like before"

"I will do my utmost best, my lady"

"You better" her voice shook as she added, "Or I will have your head hanged near the city gates"

The witch master nodded in understanding. He already knew of his fate. Not being able to treat their king back to health was a crime like nothing else. He would have his life taken if he failed in curing the lord of their tribe.

[SNAKE TRIBE]

Blake and Killian entered the snake tribe as they followed the messenger. Back in the forest while they were still searching for their mate, a guard from both the scorpion tribe and the snake tribe came to them with news that made both ecstatic. Their mate was found! Just after they received the news, both of them rushed their way to the snake tribe even amidst the raging cold wind and snow continuously falling on them.

Killian felt his steps flatter many times on the slippery snow-filled ground but he kept on moving. He had to. His mate was waiting for him.

Meanwhile, it was also the same for Blake. He was unable to properly slither in the snowy ground and had a hard time moving. But nothing seemed to matter to him. The only thing on his mind was his mate. He had to reach her and hug her. His lovely Lilly.

After they reached the snake tribe, the first place they went to was the snake castle.

Blake impatiently looked all around the castle to catch a glimpse of his mate’s beautiful face to no avail.

’Sssss’ Nonetheless he saw someone else.....more like was hugged by his babies as soon as they saw him.

"You guys missed me?" a smile adorned his face as he saw his babies hissing at him, "What a surprise"

The little snakes playfully bit their father for making fun of them and slithered away from him.

On the other side, Killian was attacked by two little orange furballs. The lion cubs kept on licking his face as he picked them up from the ground.

Seeing this odd scene made Blake chuckle, "When did you get so close to them?"

"I don’t know" Killian answered awkwardly as he received the lion cubs’ affection. The funny was that he did not hate it.
