Beauty's Beasts
Chapter 171: Hostility

Chapter 171: Hostility

Beauty contest?" Sydney was baffled by her brother’s imaginative mind. Like seriously, this was more of drawing out moths with fire! He exactly knew how crazed these females were over butt and he had to come up with such a thing? He was lighting up a flame but as for who would be putting it out, that’ll definitely not be him.

Right...a beauty contest." Sia nodded. She too intended to participate and win herself some more extraordinary Beastman as mates.

What’s the prize?" Sydney asked. She didn’t want to participate but her friends had been guarding the forte for her, if she abandoned their hardwork like this wouldn’t it incite their anger? Also, how could she let others saunter around in her territory with their noses raised so high that they could touch the sky?

Yes plummet them to death!! A voice rang out in her mind making her frown. Are you that bored? She thought but didn’t get a response back. The other party had fallen silent again.

So you are that female?" A voice drew her attention and she turned to look at that female. She had seen her when she arrived but because of Sia, she hadn’t taken a closer look at her. She was beautiful, her hair was a blue greenish along with ocean blue eyes, that was indeed a beauty and she has the gracefulness of her clan, she looked pure and proud.

Yes..how may I address you?" Sydney possibly couldn’t fall into a scuffle with them as she was at a position of power right now and though her axrions would be looked at as wilful, she knew she had to protect the dignity of her home and her mate.

Camilla, from the peacock clan." She said proudly.

Oh, I hope you are having a comfortable stay on our city." Sydney naturally wouldn’t let her stand on her, Camilla was proud but this was her home! See, this is my place somyour pride should be checked! Sydney thought.

Instantly, Camilla’s face turned a few shades because she managed to deduce Sydney’s after words. The other were also able to do the same and those from the city of beasts snickered holding back their laughter.

Such hostility...." Camilla but her lower lip as her small hands clenched into small fists as she trembled.

Can’t be helped." Sydney returned her words to her. Anyway, we’ll see eachother in the beauty contest. Excuse me." She said and turned to Sia with whome they turned to leave.

The outsiders were all seething with rage looking at their retreating backs.

A few females from the outsiders rushed to console Camilla.

Don’t be angry..it’s only because her mate is the current lord, if you can also get a beastman with a tenth rank, it won’t be hard for him to contest for the position of lord!

Right...don’t mind her! Let her flaunt now but she’ll definitely be slapped in the face in the future.

Mmm, I also heard that those invaders are extremely powerful, if our various clans are able to contact them, we can get alot of aide, at that time, taking over this city will be easy!

The females discussed in lowered voices one after the other. This was the current plan of most of the new clans that had been granted permission into the city. They had each enjoyed glorious times in ruer territories but once they made it to the city of beasts, they were highly restricted and outcast by the former inhabitants.

This left a sour feelong in them and many had already begun to conspire to over throw the current city lord. It was really ridiculous how Ash and the others had compromised to give them shelter yet they were planning to back stab them!

Though their world rode on rules like survival for the fittest, it was improper to pay kindness with ingratitude.

Sydney led Sia away and brought her to a park like setting. This was all of course thanks to Scott.

Stone benches were all over acting as resting spots and this place has the large tree canopies acting as shade from the blazing sun. The breeze here was cool which became a really popular spot for many. Though this wasn’t the only one in the city, it was the least crowded as it was disgnated for females only and those that lived in this area were not that many. Besides most females still preferred to either meet at the city Square where beastmen would pass by for them to evaluate and choose more mates, or to stay indoors doing closely to nothing.

Once they took their seats, Sydney turned to Sia her expression grave. "What’s going on?" This level of hostility was a little over the top, no??

Sia sighed heavily and shook her head. I also don’t know much but those newcomers begun to act wantonithe moment they were granted permission into the city, especially those bigger clans and those that already had clan bases in the city. I also didn’t know much about it but after my mate went to visit his clan, a fight broke out while and a member of the city was killed by a newcomer. However, when this matter was presented, the head of the newcomers clan said that it was because the beastman was extremely weak that’s why he was killed. When the news spread out to the rest of the city, many of the newcomers were forced to exit the core of the city and love in the middle areas, well except those that had already become mates with the beastmen in the city.

When those newcomers learnt this tactic, theor numbers begun to grow as they took in whatever kind of city resident they could without the slightest regard to their ability of survival. Of course, their target was to establish themselves into the city permanently." By the time Sia was done talking, her whole face was flushed red from fury. Many of the young males she had her eye on wer snatched away making her go crazy from fury.

The winds blew and the information sunk into Sydney’s mind one after the other. First and foremost, they had no duty to those newcomers and whether they died or lived was entirely up to them, but after offering them a step they took it to a mile?

And what’s more infuriating, the resources are depleting rapidly and there’s hardly enough food for two meals a day!" Sia hissed once more. Males naturally eat more than is females and now, many males are barely able to hunt a single prey in a day! My mate has been gone for a while three days but there’s hardly any news from him, if this goes on, I’ll be forced to send out another to look for him but that not being fhe case, my mates are having a had time akd haven’t eaten in two days now! Tje only food present it currently only for me and the young ones."

The mores Sydney listened the darker her expression became. It was indeed the dry season but it wasn’t so intense to the point of drought and famine. However, all prey in the city’s vicinity had actually been exhausted in a mere over a month! At this rate, womt they be forced to venture outside the city to hunt for food? That aside, even if they were to gather a team to be responsible for this task, would it be capable of feeding a while city? That was entirely delirious!!!

I’ll discuss this matter with my mates and see how to deal with it." She assured Sia who nodded. Her heavy burden had finally lifted not that she told Sydney about it. Come to my place and collect some prey, I cajt let youbajd your family go on like this." She said and Sia immediately revealed an expression of greatfulness. "I’m sorry I havw to trouble you."

Don’t say that...we are frie, more like sisters aren’t we?" Sydney asked drawing her into a hug.

Mm...thank you." Sia was very greatful. She really couldn’t stand seeing her mates going on empty stomachs day in day out.

Sydney thought of something and asked Sia to go with her.

They travelled without a hitch and immediately came to the snake clan territory. The least populated but most vicious clan.

When the guard saw Sydney, he immediately came forward to greet her with shining eyes. His eyes swept over Sydney’s neck and a sigh of relief befell him. Their lord was fine!!! That’s great!!!

Is the chief around?" Sydney asked. Since rules had changed, going in and out of a clan was as easy yet so hard.

Sydney’s case was different as she was their queen, their lord’s female so her entering was no difficult.

Yes..yes .." the guard exclaimed happily and had his colleague continue to guard as he led Sydney into the clan. Sia naturally left a stamp of her house number and followed in.

When the clansmen heard of Sydney’s arrival, many ran out to greet her as they had a favourable impression of them, one she treated their king so nicely and loved him so much, she also helped them establish themselves in the city which was a proper defence for their females.

Queen..." they cheered upon seeing her. Sydney took time to greet them and have small talk with them but she noticed something, all their eyes would fall onto her neck and although she was currently wearing a turtle neck, it didn’t cover her neck entirely Titan’s golden tattoo could be seen, infact, it was even more vibrant that one didn’t need to look at it to know that she was mates to a stronger beastman.
