Astri’s spouses are anxious, waiting at the corner of the house. Kangki growled and almost sprinted out of nowhere. Claud holds him, but his face is sothing they have never seen before. Galion never saw Claud so angry before.
"I’ll kill him, Claud!" Kangki says, trying to pass.
"Believe when I say it’s as bad for as for you, but she just convinced him not to take her. She will convince him to bring the Monster King now." Claud says in a low voice.
"What did he do? What happened?" Wayde asks, worried.
"That disgusting piece sh!t licked her neck." Kangki answers.
"WHAT?!" They are livid.
"Sshhh!! You will blow up her plan. She’s not letting him go further than that and she’s almost controlling him entirely." Claud whispers to them.
"What is happening?" Bono runs to them after hearing them with Troy and Galion.
When they heard what Freyd did, they beca as livid.
At the other corner of the house, Freyd’s guards were waiting, and luckily, they didn’t hear the others. They look at Freyd and also desire Astri, envying their King, but they wouldn’t go against his orders, knowing they would be killed.
Astri finishes washing Freyd’s arms and then gives him a towel to dry himself. After he dresses again, he carries her, smooching her face and neck.
"I think I won’t handle staying away from you. Your sll is the best thing I’ve ever felt." He says.
"My spouses can produce the soaps we use to sll good like this." Astri says.
"I see. At least they’re not as useless. Don’t ntion them while you’re with ."
"I apologize."
"I forgive you. I’m very possessive of my things. Your spouses can’t have you anymore. I won’t kill them because, as I heard, they’re useful, but now they can only see you."
"You’re the King." She says, with an annoyed, forced smile.
He’s impressed seeing the bonfire. Astri’s spouses and Bono were there, waiting with crossed, tense arms. Galion, Troy, and Roy were standing nearby, watching everything closely.
"How are you controlling the fire?" Freyd asks, sitting on a trunk of wood and putting Astri on his lap.
"We learned this from them. In their hotown, they do that to make food and also keep their females warm." Bono explains, ntioning Astri’s spouses.
"That’s impressive. As more I learn from you, I can see why you’re useful. For that reason alone, you can live with us." Freyd says to them, but wraps his arms around Astri to keep her close and warm.
Since he can’t see her face, he didn’t see her rolling her eyes and her annoyed face. Her face made the others smile internally, especially her spouses, showing she hates to be there but they’re also angry to have to let her be humiliated like that.
Freyd is more than happy when he slls the barbecue. He had to put Astri on his side to focus on eating with his guards.
Claud cos to Astri with her plate and juice. Freyd pulls her to him, growling at Claud.
They look to each other’s eyes for so seconds. Freyd senses that Claud’s aura is not as weak as he imagined. Claud looks down, showing a fake submission.
"I was bringing her food, my lord. She wasn’t eating anything. She’s used to soone bringing her food." Claud says.
Freyd looks at Astri, noticing she wasn’t eating anything. Freyd takes the plate and gives it to Astri. He looks at the juice cup in Claud’s hand.
"What is that?" Freyd asks Claud.
"Juice. It is a beverage made of fruits. It helps keep her in good health." Claud answers.
"How do you know that?"
"He’s a doctor, dear." Astri says in Freyd’s ear.
"A doctor? Oh.. You’re a smart female. You chose rchants and a doctor as your spouses. Very fit to be Queen." Freyd smiles at her.
"You flatter , dear." Astri’s sarcastic tone was clear to those who knew her.
"From now on, only the doctor can co near her. And only to bring her food or examine her. None of you is allowed to co near her. Besides protection." Freys announces.
Astri had to hold her laughter watching her spouses raise their eyebrows just like her when she’s annoyed or angry. She starts eating slowly, showing an elegance Freyd doesn’t have.
"I’ll head back to Dark Moon City tomorrow morning. She said she’s near the due ti of her pregnancy. When she delivers this nest, you will send a ssenger to tell to co get her. Understood, Bono?" Freyd says to Bono.
"Yes, my King."
"Tell all other unmated males that she’s not to be courted. She will be my Queen and will have only my nests. Whoever tries to court her should be killed. Keep building those walls and use the knowledge of these rchants to make more gems." Freyd keeps spilling orders, pointing at Astri’s spouses.
They don’t know if it’s because they’re used to eating the way Astri eats, that they think he’s disgusting with that face and hands all greased like that.
"This place has potential. I need soone else to be the leader here to make it as big as Dark Moon City. Bono, you will train our warriors."
"Yes.. My King." Bono answers with a poker face.
Freyd sighs, thinking about sothing, looking up.
"But who would be the leader here?" He asks himself.
"I heard you have trustworthy counselors, my King." Astri ntions.
"Yes. The best of them is Juno. He’s the most powerful besides . He’s a tyrannosaur too."
"I see. He could co here with you when you co to get . He can beco the leader of Daern’s Tribe." Astri says, holding her chin as she thinks deeply.
"That’s... a great idea, my beautiful Queen! You’re so smart." He says and kisses her head, making her skin crawl to think of his dirty face, full of grease, dirtying the hair she washed that sa day.
"It’s your influence, my dear King." She says and drinks a long sip of juice to hide the face that everyone would notice she was lying.
Her spouses are happy though. She convinced him to leave her there and to also bring the Monster King. When she’s done, she stands up saying:
"Excuse , my lords. I’ll rest now."
"Are you done eating?" Freyd asks.
"Yes. I’m full. Just a little tired."
"Of course. These bad males made you walk all the way to et . And make you live at the corner of the tribe as well." Freyd says, standing up.
"I asked to live here. I hate bad slls, and at the center, the sll is worse than at the corner."
"I see. Let take you to your nest." Not really caring about what she likes.
Before he tries to carry her, she holds his dirty hands and makes him stop.
"Let wash your hands first. Co with ." She says, pulls him to the basin to wash his face and hands. "I’m an eagle, my King. For keeping my beauty, I need to keep myself clean."
"Oh. Now I understand. My hands were dirty. I’ll keep it clean because I love your clean skin." He smiles.
As they walk inside the house, Astri looks at Kangki.
"Let’s sleep, my King. You must be tired of the travel." She says, still aiming her eyes on Kangki.
He nods, understanding what she wants. Astri shows the bed to Freyd, who was impressed with how good it felt, but hated it because it slled like other males.
"Think that from now on it will sll just like you." She says, lying down and covering herself.
"I’m glad you understand." He says, spooning her body. "You fit so well in my arms."
"You’re so warm too." She says, disgusted because she’s feeling his length on her leg.
She pretends she’s yawning and getting cozy.
"I’m so tired. This big belly didn’t let sleep well. You feel so comfortable."
"Sleep, my Queen. While you can. Because when you’re not pregnant, you will not rest all night." He says, pressing his length on her.
"At least we will be doing sothing good." She says, with a humming voice, showing she’s excited but full of sarcasm.
"I love the way you think. I’m so lucky to find you. Submissive. Kind. Want to give nests of eggs."
"I’m the lucky one. Good night, my King. Sweet dreams."
"I’ll only have hot dreams about you." He chuckles and kisses her head.
She covers her face and nose with the blanket. After so seconds, she hears him snooring. She looks back and he’s heavily asleep. She makes a little wind to spread Kangki’s scent and untangle herself from his arms.
She feels her body shivering with disgust, but she will have to handle his scent until tomorrow.
"Are you all right, love?" Claud asks in her mind.
"Yes. A little traumatized, but fine."
She hears several "I’ll kill him myself" and "disgusting bastard" in her head.
"I didn’t know Kangki had a sleeping scent." Claud tries not to put fire on the wood with all those angry males around him.
"He used it on . Pretty useful. I’ll sleep sowhere else, and when it’s closer to morning, I’ll co back to him. Tomorrow I’ll take a very long bath, with tons of soap and herbs. We’ll have to sew a new bed. Burn my clothes and the old bed." Astri says, walking to the children’s bedroom.
Astri’s spouses didn’t sleep a wink. The guards and Bono didn’t either. All of them worried about Astri.
