The chapter below has some unfamiliar words that you won't understand but do not worry because I will mention the meanings of each at the end of the chapter.
Thank you for you patience ♥
Now you may proceed.
________________________
"The Almighty truly blesses you Kojin for providing you a chance to see your heir ascending his title." Sitting on the far right he taunts. His long, black hair tied in a ponytail slants sideways as he tilts his head and the familiar perfunctory smile starts growing on his broad face while.
Jarçkel Ruffis.
-Current Kzar of the Ruffis Kingdom.
-High pretense runs in his blood.
-Intolerable amount of ego.
-Extremely petty.
-Potential threat.
-Wanna-be traitor.
In short, he's a Werestallion, untrustworthy and a whiny b***h.
"My brother, your jealous side is beginning to show." Ortsiĺüs sitting in front of me guffaws loudly, his deep voice sounds half-joking and half-serious as he manages to successfully replace Ruffis's pretentious expression to a real sneer.
Guiliv Ortsiĺüs.
-Current Kzar of the Ortsiĺüs Kingdom.
-A powerful ruler.
-Smart and just.
-Potential ally.
-Trustworthy.
He's outrageously large, almost like a giant. Extremely tall and broad to the point that I'm sure all his clothes are custom made, head full of dirty blond hair and hickory eyes along with his bronze skin which is a stark contrast to his white three-piece suit, only added to his supreme identity. With his current humorous personality, nobody would believe that his other-side, a Werebear, is a highly savage beast that mercilessly rips out his enemies spines on the battle ground without so much as a blink.
On his left, Zï snickers lightly at Ruffis's grimaced expression, knowing full well Ortsiĺüs's words were more than just a sting. It punctured a gash in his nonentity ego.
Lapex Zï
-Current Kzar of the Zï Kingdom.
-Unmistakably clever.
-Seductively lethal.
-Loyal to the core.
-Again, potential ally.
-Worthy for trust and life.
If one does their homework on our kind, Zï's slanted eyes and exquisite beauty would way too easily give away his shifting-side, a Werefox. His current merriness only added to Jarçkel's hatered.
Ruffis's extreme arrogance was vastly infamous in all Eneii, not to mention the Eneo wa Asle. But this time his limits were becoming exceedingly dubious. His unsatisfied hauteur always wanted the highest title and apparently being the royalty as the Kzar of the Werestallions wasn't enough for him, hence he hungers for the crown of Høè Kzar. Hilarious. His rotten mind has a tendency to forget his place as a Were-stal-lion.
And not the real Høè Kzar—a Werelion.
As if on cue, the doors of the enormous great study opens and in enters the man in question. His prominent figure lazily strolls inside like a King all the while execuding the infamous powerful aura everyone talks about overcasting the entire room in his shadow. The quality for which his race are famous for doesn't lacks even a little bit as it smoothly flows in his wake—pride.
Zueřial Kętrisium.
Current Høè Kzar of the Eneo wa Asle.
Powerful.
Upright.
Virtuous.
Unrivalled.
His imposing presence never failed to put people in their place long before he opens his mouth. The room before was already filled with fierce vibes yet now at he walks, his exceptional presence is hard to miss. His impressive heritage along with his unmistakable aura always odds him out even while standing in the crowd with other royals. And these are the things solely about his human side. However, his shifter-side was much, much powerful. His prowess on the battlefield is something people talk as though he's a legend, moreover, the horrors of his tales were all of bloodshed and violence towards each of his enemies. Henceforth, he's considered to be the most deserving and terrifying Høè Kzar of every Eneii in all history.
We all stood up in unison as he walks past us towards the high seat at the head of the table that solely belongs to him.
Two men flagging him, his Yules go completely unnoticed until now when one of them suddenly step forward and pulls the high seat for his Mfalmê.
Offering him a bow in respectful greetings we wait as he proceeds to sit with all the prideful arrogance naturally running in his veins, and then soon following his lead we take ours.
Once seated, everyone turns their focus on his demanding presence. One by one, his eyes roam across the long conference table, skimming each one of our expressions as it comes to a halt upon reaching mine. It stays there for a few seconds, then suddenly averts to the chair on my left which is currently occupied by my father—Kojin Weroance.
Relaxing back in his seat, his stare fixates on my father as he says, "Proceed."
Upon signal, my father immediately leans forward and starts.
"Everyone present here are already well aware that for the welfare of the Kingdoms and it's people each one of has been chosen for the responsibility by our ancestors. As the Kzar of the Weroance Kingdom I've been taking care of my people since the day this responsibility has been given to me and I will continue to take care of it till the day I take my last breath."
Stopping midway, his eyes roam across the room and then meets the Høè Kzar, with a small bow he continues on, "However, not with the title anymore as I feel I've outlived my ruling years and now our Kingdom needs a much stronger Kzar. Hence, I've finally decided to pass the title to my heir— Hexton Weroance."
Scrutinizing everyone's expression, his eyes narrows lastly when it meets Jarçkel's darkened face.
However, my stare comes to fixate on the expressionless Høè Kzar. I've been trying to read his thoughts from start to end.
What was he thinking?
Abruptly, as if he could feel it, his eyes turns to me and remains there. Unmoving. I don't back away either and keep staring at him, after looking him in the eyes for a few seconds, I abruptly turn away just before he takes it as a challenge. Since history, it's a well known fact that if any being looks directly in the eye of another one who's in a superior position than him, then it's considered a challenge to his beast.
However my theory is a little different. If two superior beasts of other races have a staring session, then it would be better to have a few seconds of power struggle, because if you immediately drop your eyes in front of his beast— you would appear coward.
Then what will be the difference between an ordinary beast and you in your opponent's eyes?
You would simply look cowardly.
And cowardly is something I don't do.
Are you sure about that?
Gasp!
The abrupt echo was so sudden, that for a second I freeze.
Was it an illusion?
No. No. It wasn't!
Olin?
Olin!?
