Chapter 274 Secrets of the Royal Court

Nicola had considered living elsewhere before, so as not to be controlled by the Giant Tree Sacred Deer Clan.

But throughout the entire Giantwood Forest, except for the royal court, living conditions are terrible.

There's simply no way we can provide her with a comfortable life.

These beastmen husbands of hers only have pretty faces and charming personalities; none of them have a beastman background as strong as the royal court.

If she left the Giantwood Forest, she wouldn't be interested in the small tribes and cities, and the larger ones all had favored females with powerful local beastmen backgrounds. If she lived there, she would still be subject to their control, and it wouldn't be as comfortable and carefree as living in the royal court.

She originally planned to marry Camille to the Holy City, so that after his father, the Beast King, died, she could let Nissen become the Giant Tree King, and she could enjoy the good life behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the late king died, the Giantwood Sacred Deer Clan quickly seized control of the royal court and welcomed Camus back to become the Giantwood King.

He stated that if Camille could not become the Giantwood King, then the most powerful orc from the Giantwood Sacred Deer Clan would be chosen to succeed him.

If that's the case, after the new king ascends the throne, she and her beast-father offspring will only become more and more unhappy. It would be better to let Camus be the Giant Tree King.

At least, although Camus misunderstands her because of his father, he is still her child and will allow her to live a peaceful life in the royal court.

Nicola felt incredibly agitated whenever she thought about these things.

If she had known this would happen, she would have focused on treating the late king properly. When he was alive, she wouldn't have needed to think so much.

The entire royal court and the entire Giant Tree Forest belong to her, and she can do as she pleases.

She hadn't expected that when she tried to marry another noble-blooded giant deer, they would refuse.

The idea that a female can only marry one beast husband from the Giant Tree Sacred Deer Clan is utter nonsense!

Since the late king passed away, her life has become increasingly stifling.

Now that Camille has awakened and the royal court is back in his hands, it's impossible for her to act as before.

A beastman with long, dark green hair sat on the edge of the bed, holding Princess Taff's hand and sobbing softly.

“My lady, Taff has been hurt so badly by Jiang Xi, we can’t just let it go like this.”

Nicola spoke up, annoyed.

"If you're so capable, go and cause them trouble yourself!"

The orc dared not go. He was not very talented and had been stuck at the early stage of the third tier for so many years. If it weren't for Taff's favor, he would not have been able to get the female master's attention for so many years.

The blond beastman stepped forward with a smile and massaged Nicola's shoulders.

"Please calm down, Mistress. I heard that Jiang Xi is unwilling to accept the marriage contract and only wants to be groomed externally. I have never heard of any beastman suffering from the backlash of the marriage contract being cured by simply grooming externally."

Nicola's eyes flickered slightly.

You mean?

The beastman laughed, "If Camus can fall asleep once, he can fall asleep twice."

Nicola sighed.

"It's alright if he's just asleep, but if he dies like his short-lived father beast, we'll be in big trouble."

The beastman continued with a laugh, "Then why not let the king give birth to a little prince soon? The queen can then raise him, and wouldn't that ensure her continued hold on the throne?"

Nicola's eyes lit up.

"You mean..."

It was already dark when Jiang Xi came out of the Giant Tree King's palace.

The crimson moon hung high among the distant mountains, casting a rosy glow over the royal court.

Jiang Xi couldn't help but sigh.

For some reason, she missed the Lion's Roar tribe.

The Lion Roar tribe has simple interpersonal relationships.

She also realized the merits of using force rather than reasoning.

If there's something that can't be resolved in one duel, then let's have two duels!

Until you beat the opponent into submission!

There's no need for so many complicated procedures.

Hearing the female master's sigh, Lu Liufeng asked gently.

Is the female master in a bad mood?

His words drew the attention of the other beastmen.

Jiang Xi shook her head.

"I just miss the Lion's Roar tribe a little."

"I wonder how the Lion's Roar tribe is doing now."

When she asked Lu Liufeng to send a message back, she also sent back a blueprint.

If they want to start construction, she definitely won't be able to get back in time.

So she drew the desired house shape and layout on Wang Tingchan's paper and sent it back with her.

When they return, the Lion's Roar tribe should be a completely new tribe!

Mu Ling scratched his head.

"I also want to go back to the Lion's Roar Tribe. Although the food and drink here in the royal court are good, I'm not happy with anything about it."

Nakan also said, "I also think our cursed land is good."

Although their food, clothing, and housing weren't that great, they were free and didn't have to worry about so many things.

Seeing that her words had stirred up everyone's homesickness, Jiang Xi quickly laughed and tried to ease the tension.

"It's alright! We'll be back soon!"

"So, let's focus on improving our abilities during this time! Then we'll amaze them all!"

Mu Ling muttered to herself.

"Mistress, even Yi Yuexi is about to reach the fourth major stage, while among all the beast husbands, I'm still only at the third major stage..."

As he spoke, Mu Ling took the female master's hand, his wolf eyes sparkling.

"So, the female master, come sleep in my room tonight and give me a good talking-to so I can break through to the fourth major stage as soon as possible and not hold you back!"

Jiang Xi hesitated.

Yes... that makes sense.

Nafiel spoke directly: "Mistress, Nakan has been married into the family for so long, yet he has never served you."

Jiang Xi looked over, and Nakan also looked at her.

Its golden snake eyes gleamed, full of anticipation.

“Female, female master…” he called softly.

Mu Ling grinned at him.

Nakan did not back down.

Jiang Xi subconsciously looked at Lu Liufeng.

For some reason, when faced with a dilemma, she always habitually sought Lu Liufeng's opinion.

Lu Liufeng pursed his lips.

He didn't want to get involved in their rivalry for favor, but it seemed to the mistress that he had spoken up anyway.

“Nakan has been married into the family for a while now, so why don’t we let him serve the mistress?”

Mu Ling: "Lu Liufeng!"

"Why are you siding with outsiders!"

Lu Liufeng: "We are all the female master's beast husbands, no one is an outsider."

Mu Ling snorted.

He knew that once Lu Liufeng spoke, the female master would definitely listen to him.

Honestly, why does the female master listen to Lu Liufeng so much?

Nakan gave Lu Liufeng a grateful look.

Jiang Xi coughed to ease the tension.

"Then I'll sleep in Nakan's room tonight..."

Nakan grabbed Nafiel's arm excitedly.

Nafiel's eyes flickered.

As Jiang Xi spoke, she could feel Mu Ling's intense gaze beside her. She didn't turn around, afraid of meeting a pair of pitiful little wolf eyes.

Jiang Xi felt like she was an emperor with three thousand concubines in her harem, choosing a concubine every night.

With so many husbands, the question of where to sleep at night has become a problem.

Maintaining impartiality is no easy task.

Where there is joy for the beastly husband, there is also sorrow for him.

On the way back, Mu Ling practically stared two holes through Nakan.

Hollen pursed his lips, and as they approached the courtyard where they lived, he suddenly called out to Lu Liufeng.

"Lu Liufeng, I have something I want to tell you."
