Chapter 116: Celebration For Female.
Lord Vale held her other hand firmly with a smile as he said, "You’re bearing the cubs of two tribe lords.. so of course you should have a celebration dedicated to you."
He smiled at Ayra as he added, "A grand celebration to celebrate the female every time she holds our cub."
Ayra stared at him, blinking. A celebration in her name? She felt extremely special!
Lord Ash folded his arms as he said, "Since we don’t have such celebrations, I’ll come up with the concept for it. One dedicated to the female." He stared up at Zark. "What do you think?"
Lord Zark stood there quietly as he slowly nodded. "I think so as well.. I agree..."
Ayra guessed she couldn’t refuse at all. All the beastmen around had instantly began nodding in agreement.
The deal was sealed. She was getting a whole celebration in her name. A celebration for having the cubs of the two lords. And it was a celebration to happen every time she’d have another.
The rabbit chef smiled happily. "I suggest we prepare a grand meal.. one inspired by the female’s cooking."
Everyone nodded happily. Many hadn’t tasted the female’s cooking so they were most curious to have a taste of it.
The rabbit chef smiled as he said, "Don’t worry Ayra, you don’t have to stress at all. Since you’re pregnant, you’ll sit down comfortably and I’ll do all the work. Just give your orders!"
"Shhhhh!" They all urged him to keep it down since the cub was now asleep.
The rabbit held his mouth, staring down at the sleeping Ally.
Ayra smiled as she said, "Don’t worry, I’ll gladly help."
"Yay," the rabbit smiled as his subordinates stared at him.
They were surprised that their boss was actually agreeing to serve the female so she could give instructions to cook! Their boss who never agreed to being under anyone!
They shook their heads as one said, "I guess boss will do anything to get another taste of that meal and even learn the recipe."
Another nodded. "True indeed."
Everyone burst into gentle laughter.

They were done staying as night arrived. Everyone began making their way out and back to their homes.
As they left, the news of the female being pregnant with the two lords’ cubs spread through the tribe like wildfire.
Everyone was thrilled and shocked by the discussion. They couldn’t believe that the female was actually bearing the cubs of two S-rank beastmen!
It was a rare fertility skill of an S-rank female. So it was impressive and admirable that the female could do so!
They sang praises of the female while they headed back to their homes while thinking of the gifts they’d present to the female on the day of her upcoming celebration.

In Ayra’s room, she made preparations to sleep with the cub close to her.
And as she looked up, she saw some beastmen still around there.
The three tribe lords stood there, staring down at her. Along with Commander Lynn and Rai.
"What is it?" Ayra asked, staring at them.
"I’ll be staying here all night," Lord Ash said.
"Why?" She asked.
"To protect you and our cub," Lord Ash said firmly. "I don’t want anything going wrong. So I’ll stay here and keep an eye on you two without moving an inch," he said firmly.
"..." Ayra blinked as she turned and stared at the other two lords who were also standing there, both arms folded like guards.
"And what about you two...?" She asked them.
"I’ll be doing the same," Lord Vale stated firmly. "I’ll also be staying here all night with you. Keeping you guard to make sure you and the cub are safe. I won’t let anyone disturb your beauty sleep," he insisted.
"..." Ayra blinked again as she turned and stared at Lord Zark.
She didn’t ask but Lord Zark said, "I’m the strongest, so I’ll be able to protect you the most. So I need to be here," he said firmly.
The other two turned and stared at him.
Lord Zark stared at them. "What? I didn’t lie."
Rai also stood firmly like a guard with both arms folded as he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll also be here to protect you from anything!"
As he said that, the three tribe leaders turned and stared down at him. Their faces were firm and cold with competition.
And Commander Lynn had quickly read the room. He walked up to his brother and swept him off his feet, hanging him over his shoulder like a bag of rice.
"Let’s go," he said taking him away while Rai kept kicking for his freedom but to no avail. He was soon gone.
And now Ayra was left with her three tribe lords who seemed to want to keep her company all night. She stared at them.
"I think there are some guards out there.. so don’t worry, I’ll be fine," she explained with a smile.
"Don’t worry, I’ll protect you better. I’m the smartest here," Lord Vale explained.
Lord Ash folded his arms with a scoff. "I’m stronger than him, so I’ll make sure nothing harms you.. not even a fly. And my body is warmer so I’ll prove more useful."
Lord Zark shook his head. "I’m definitely the strongest and warmest around here. And even more reliable. So I’ll be the better option to protect the female tonight."
They turned and stared at him.
"Says who? I thought you weren’t close to the female?" Lord Ash questioned.
"She has my cub. What does that say?" Lord Zark clapped back.
"Still says I’m a better option to protect the female," Lord Vale insisted. "I have the brains."
"Use that brain and go protect yourself then," Lord Ash snapped.
"You..."
And so they burst into bickering again. The three of them bickering in a low tone while considering the sleeping cub, both bickering on who was more suitable to protect the female and cub.
Ayra stared at them for a while without saying anything.
And the next second she had kicked them out of her room.
The three tribe leaders stood outside the house, staring into the distance while letting out a deep sigh.
"I guess the female doesn’t need us," Lord Ash said.
