Chapter 253

253 Enjoy Your Watch

(Tom’s PoV)

It was just a fleeting moment, but I was sure with what I was seeing. The message from his eyes was clear.

“So you’re here, huh?”

After that, he looked away and stared at his people one by one. What a great leader he was!

So, what was this celebration for? Something so big that it could affect the human realm, obviously it wouldn’t be a simple one.

“Welcome to our annual festival. It’s a joyful occasion where we can celebrate the upcoming of Harvest Moon that will be transpiring in any minutes from now. Any females who are willing to participate in this celebration may stand before the stage to receive a charm that will protect you from anyone or any creatures who wish to disturb the celebration.” The King said with a smile.

A charm? What kind of celebration needed a charm to avoid any disturbance? More importantly, it was given to any females that would partake in the celebration. My initial thought that there would only be some females wanted to join, but I was obviously so wrong.

As soon as the King finished saying his piece of mind, I saw many of females moved forward and stood in front of the stage obediently. They looked up excitedly and their whole bodies emitted some kind of different aura.

“Some of my girls are willing to partake in this celebration as well.” The King smiled at the women behind him and some of them stepped down from the stage and joined the females.

.....

In a second, the number of females partaking in the celebration had increased and it triggered the males to let out their celebratory shouts.

I felt like I was in a primitive village deep in the jungle, far from the bustling cities. They didn’t eat humans, right?

As I was deep in my own thoughts, the King had given the so-called-charm in a shape of a pendant. The women put it around their neck in instant after they showed their gratitude towards the King.

The projection in the tree showed some people were running in various directions. The males were hastily chasing after the females, but what was it for?

“Say, human, who brought you here? My clan is the type to hide deeper than anyone else. We don’t like any contact with humans because of our traditions which might scare humans away. But, we don’t particularly hate humans as well. We will welcome them if they wander to far into our territory, but we will not invite any humans inside. It is a very rare case where human get lost and find us, but in your case, I don’t think you are lost. Which means, you are here because someone has sent you here.” The King said calmly.

I frowned. “My Advisor sent me here.” I said truthfully. Even if I were to say Siji’s name, I doubted it would make any difference. If humans couldn’t get here casually and they didn’t invite humans casually either, it could only mean one thing; a stronger race than them could walk in and even send someone here.

There was no doubt Siji was stronger than this King.

“Your Advisor? May I know who that is?” He sounded wary with my answer.

“Advisor of White Army. Siji.” I turned my head and looked at him in the eyes calmly.

His pupil contracted and his body went stiff for a good second, but then he quickly regained himself. “No wonder. No wonder you can come in easily. That man sent you here, after all. But, here’s the next questions. For what reason? You said that he was your advisor. Are you the new master? I didn’t see that you had that qualification in you when we last met.”

“When we last met?” I repeated his words with a frown on my face.

“Ah, I did tell you that you were going to forget about me, huh? Those two women I got from you are still here.” He waved his hand and two tall women stepped forward from the flock of women around him. They still had the veil on their faces, so I couldn’t really tell who they were.

“They hold out so long, I like them. They are good harvest.” He nodded his head in satisfaction. “Taking them away from you at that time was really a good decision. As expected, their lust is overwhelming that they’re still alive until now.”

The frown on my face was getting deeper. What was he talking about?

“Anyway, enjoy your watch.” He gestured for me towards the big projection.

Since I had no idea about what was going on, I turned my head and faced the big screen intently. There was still some chasing happen there.

“Ah, they always try so hard to find a good place. Let’s find others who have started their harvest.” The King’s voice travelled through my ears and after he said so, the scene in the projection changed quickly, as if someone was flicking the remote to find a good one.

It took him just a couple of seconds before he finally found the one he was looking for. The scene on the projection changed and I finally realized what this harvest event means and why he talked about ‘lust’.
