Chapter 35 IDIOT

Every one in stage had heard what Sydney requested of the four males and it was as clear as day light that she had already made her choice.

"This isn't fair!" A beastman from the bear tribe spoke up. Usually males always fought for their own selfish desires to obtain a female but if four males combined forces to dominate a female, then it meant that others also had to work in groups!

"Yes...it's not fair.....we can't fight on our own while the female's males fight together. We should also duel as a group... hopefully you aren't against this city Lord!" another beastman spoke ganering the approval of others.

Ash remained silent and said nothing.

Sydney who was at a distance overheard this and frowned.

"You aren't officially her family so you can't fight as a group! None of you had mates with her so she's like the other females on stage today!"

"We are fine with her playing favourites but there are more better deserving males than some of her chosen males!"

Sydney obviously knew who they were referring to. It was Shawn! She felt so pissed in her seat to the point that she felt like she was seated in molten lava. Her face burnt red in anger! She looked at Shawn and saw him standing there silently his eyes unfocused as usual. His bushy tail wasn't swinging around like it usually did. It had dropped.

"Yeah...how can a blind beastman hold a candle against formidable warriors who are ranks above him! If he's qualified then we all are equally qualified!"

"Why are you beasts in a twist?!" Ken sneered unable to hold the insults hauled at Shawn. We are already here to fight so why are you kicking up trouble? You don't wish for us to fight as a group fine! Each one of us is going to be in our own." Ken roared out and the other three nodded in agreement. They had no issues with fighting individually.

"Let's beat him up beyond recognition and see if she'll still want him!" A beastman who couldn't handle his bitter emotions spoke out loud making the others cheer on.

"I pity you!" Ken laughed at the ignorant beastmen. "I'll go first!" he said.

Shawn on the other hand was silent and only listened to what everyone was saying without saying otherwise. He knew they were envoius of him and that made him feel a while lot better that a ghost smile graced his lips.

"Then the duels shall begin!" the mcee announced and stepped aside leaving space for the fight.

"I was brought over as the lord's prospective female but I can say, I don't hold a candle for your beauty!" A female who was seated besides Sydney said with a soft smile.

Sydney looked at her and saw the girl with jet black hair and orange coloured eyes. She was beautiful! "I'm Sia from the lion clan." she introduced herself with a smile. Growls of fighting were drowned in the background.

"I'm Sydney. Nice meeting you Sia." Sydney greeted but her attention was stolen back to the group of beastmen

"You love your males very much! They are a lucky bunch " Sia said and Sydney smiled awkwardly. She didn't know about love but she knew they were precious to her and the degree of reliance she had on them was higher than she had initially thought.

"It would have been different if you had mate with them before this bonfire. Then fighting as a family would not be rejected by the other males who wish to mate with you." Sia explained getting Sydney's attention.

"But they told me it's up to me to make a choice!"

"Haha, seems they worried too much about you and didn't tell you." Sia spoke sadly.

"Tell me what??" Sydney asked.

"All beastmen are possessive by nature to a degree of madness if I am to say, being no different from strays in terms of affection for their loved ones. When they find a female, they want to be the only one in her life. They hate to share! But of course, that can't happen as you know of our numbers being lesser, so male's second beast option is standing in as the female's most favourite male."

"Most favourite?!" Sydney was confused.

"Mm, most favourite. And they don't hesitate to eliminate the person that stands in that position!" Sia explained and looked at Sydney. " You understand what I'm saying right?!"

Sydney didn't understand so she shook her head. "I see you favour the blind wolf beastman even though he isn't your favourite. You don't hold his mating mark which puts him in a very dangerous position. He can be killed and you'll have nothing to do about it! But it's different if you hold his mate mark...not any would be daring to kill him lest they face your wrath and that of your other mates. Now, do you understand?" Sia asked and Sydney nodded lostly as her eyes found their way back to the stage.

Ken was the first to fight and he was surrounded by eight beastmen while some were already knocked out and disqualified. His wolf coat was covered in blood.

"Wolf Prince...your arrogance has always annoyed me so much! I'd like to see how you remain that way after I ashame you before your female!" a warrior lion beastman who was of the same rank as Ken charged forward after his declaration and got into a serious fight bringing Ken to sustain injuries.

He personally didn't mind being beaten up but that would be him embarrassing his Sydney! And that wasn't going to happen! Not on his watch! " You talk too much! No wonder you have a big head!" Ken insulted the lion beastman who was ticked off real bad. He roared and charged forwards ferociously.

"You'll never know how you died!" Ken scoffed and stood his ground but his sharp eyes looked on his enemy.

Ash raised a brow in amusement seeing where Ken was heading. This was Sydney's technique. 'The lion might die.' he thought.

And just when the lion jumped to pounce on Ken, Ken shifted into his human form in a nick of time but kept his sharp claws out, he ducked and heartlessly sliced the lion's belly.

No one expected this and the whole place broke into shocked gasps. The lion landed into the ground with a thud blood sipping from his torn belly. He bellowed out in pain but couldn't even bring himself to stand up, the pain was exhilarating!

Ken stood and glared at the remaining seven rivals with disdain. "You want to compete with me for my love's attention? If you dare, your end will be no different from him!" Ken said pointing at the lion beastman in an authoritative voice making the other opponents shake in place. No one made a move to attack.

The lion beastman was on the ground loosing alot of blood but no one came to help him. Rarely anyone did! The lion beastman was bound to die.

Ken was the next wolf king... he needed to let everyone know this fact and not cross him! He turned to look at Sydney who was red in the face and didn't know where to look.

Ken was standing before thousands of people stark naked, a certain part standing out like a sore spot. True he had a nice body and he was well endowed by his ancestors but damnit. He needed to wear his skin skirt!!!!

"Hahah....you male is blessed! You'll have a happy life." Sia teased seeing Sydney's red face.

It was common for male beasts to show off their private parts to attract their female's attention the more. The bigger, prettier and cleaner the jewel was, the better!

"Wear your skin skirt you IDIOT!!!!" Sydney seethed with red eyes. Past her embarrassment, she was livid with anger! Was this some show casing event?!

Though at a distance, Ken still heard her loud and clear and rushed to grab his skin skirt from the ground with a silly smile. He wrapped it around hurriedly and grinned at Sydney. She must be pleased with me! Hehe!! She even called him a sweet name....is it Idiot? Yes...he liked the name!!
