Beastmen Love-Chapter 106: Dark & Light

Now Astri understood why Nature told her to wait. She needs to find the best moment to escape and keep the baby or babies safe.

He saw that she wasn’t eating the meat, so she taught him how to cook the meat. She watches Kangki making a barbecue from the corner she was in before. After eating, watch him make a new and clean bed for her.

"You’re getting the hang of this." She says.

A bucket with water is brought to her to clean herself, and the sandbox is also ready to use. She doesn’t like anyone watching her, but it’s a usual thing for males and, apparently, he doesn’t trust her to leave her alone.

"Can you at least turn around? I don’t like anyone staring at me while doing this." She asks.

"I don’t care." She rolls her eyes. "What was that?"

"I don’t care about your requests or questions either, then."

His eyes go dark again, but he turns around and she smiles.

"Thank you! Rolling my eyes is to express that I’m annoyed. You can try it." She answers, starting to clean herself.

"I thought it was the unicorn trying to connect with you." He says.

"I wish it was that, but no. My eyes don’t do that when he connects with me."

"Just know that it’s useless trying to run away."

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever."

"You’re too brave around me. You better know your place."

"I know my place. You have no idea of how much."

He sighs, calming down. He can’t hit on a pregnant female.

After getting clean, Astri wears the clothes brought to her, but it is only a tube top and a skirt. She wears the other clothes she was wearing before to keep her warm.

She starts to walk outside and he follows her. She looks around the area. It looks like ancient Egyptian cities with old places made of rock but some covered by sand.

"Interesting." She says.

A tall and thin male with short black hair comes walking to them. His skin is almost gray and his hair is almost green.

"So you are the Daughter of Nature. For being caught, you’re nothing like you said in our first meeting." He sneers at Astri.

"Oh, you. Prince of Monsters. It’s because your father knows that only he can convince me. If it were you, he would have only a dead son." Astri says, still looking around, like analyzing it completely.

The Prince growls, fuming in anger.

"Don’t forget that my father will share you with me."

"Who said that?" Kangki asks.

Astri giggles.

"Do you still need Daddy to get you things? Spoiled Prince."

"You!"

Astri simply pushes him far away from the cave with her powers. The Prince hits his back on the rock wall and falls to his knees. His eyes are still killing her.

"In respect of your father, I’m not going to do anything to you, but you better stay away from me. Your father wants me with him, and that means I’m your Queen. Know that I might not be as strong as your father, but I’m not a female that will fear any of you here. Did you understand, dear?" Astri says to the Prince.

Kangki smiles approvingly. He even got aroused by that and he didn’t imagine he would be.

The Prince leaves fuming in anger, but not saying anything else too.

"Pity." Astri hears from behind her, she looks at Kangki with questioning eyes. "Pity I can’t have you now since you’re pregnant. But you made me aroused. It’s been a long time that I don’t feel this way."

Astri rolls her eyes. Even Monsters like stronger females as she can see. However, what she thought it could be bad for her, ended up being her protection. He thinks that since she’s pregnant she can’t have sex, and she needs to keep him believing that.

"This sand is bad for the health if we can’t redirect it. Your females die having a hard time breathing?" She asks.

"How did you know that?"

"By watching the area. Why did you pick this cave to live in?" She asks.

"It’s far from others and I have a good view."

"Is true... Well, I have some projects. Do you want to hear them?"

"Why not?"

She tells him about building a different entrance so the sad don’t go inside so much, then about a new bed and what she will need for it. She bombarded him with several questions and projects that made him curious about how all of that would end, but also impressed that she looked fine with the fact she would be living with him.

At night, she asks to make a fire to keep the cave warm and he watches her stitching a new bed.

"Yesterday you said you could give your life energy willingly, but you have remarks and conditions. You said you would tell me today, and I think I waited enough." He says.

"Do you believe there’s a balance between good and evil?" She asks.

"No. This is an illusion. Light and Darkness will never exist together."

"I agree that balance is an illusion. But I don’t agree with your second remark."

"Explain."

"Things are never the same all the time. There’s day and night. The river is never the same, the water is always changing and always flowing. The dark is not always bad. Did you know that there are fruits that need sunlight to grow, but their flowers will only bloom at night? Is it fair? I mean, the sun had to work to make the flower grow at night."

"Are you saying it’s possible to exist together?"

"Coexistence only happens when each other knows their real meaning. I’m a female and you’re a male. Who will raise a baby inside the belly?"

"You."

"Who will feel pain during labor? Who will breastfeed? Who will the babies look after?"

"You."

"Who will protect us? Who will make sure we have food? Who will make sure I’m comfortable?" She asks.

"Me."

"Can you see the balance? The balance is achieved in different ways and sometimes one has to give more than the other for that, and it’s supposed to be that way." She answers.

"So, are you saying that if we keep the balance together, we can exist together?"

"Yes."

"That’s a beautiful thought. But I think you forgot about who you are talking to."

"I didn’t." She says. "I just think that you’re not interested in that. At least not now."

She reaches out to his hand and then he feels his hand grow warm, going up to his arm and then chest. She releases her hands and sighs a bit tired. freēwēbnovel.com

"Now you know that I have no problem sharing my energy with you. You have my energy to live some more hundreds of years." She says, then she goes lie down and covers her head to avoid dirt falling on her.

He’s looking at her quite impressed.

"Why did you do this?" He asks.

"Why not do it?"

"I’m evil."

"Everyone is."

"Don’t compare me with anyone!"

"Lower down. Geez. My head is aching after giving you my energy. Be grateful and let’s move on." She answers and covers all of her head.

He clicks his tongue and then he lays down on her side. "I’m not cold. I’m just protecting myself from the sand."

"Then I’ll block the sand."

"When I’m more rested I’ll build the entrance."

Then she goes quiet and he only watches her.

"Do you want to sleep?" He asks.

"Yes."

He turns to her and holds his head to watch her.

"If you gave me your energy willingly. Will you give me cubs too?" He asks.

"I just said I wanted to sleep."

"I was just curious to know."

"You will have to think carefully before having cubs with me. You said Monsters don’t have spouses. It might be true, but it will be different with me. You will become my spouse and your life will be connected with me forever. If I die, you will die together. In other words, your life and plans will change very much, right?"

"...Is that true?" He asks.

"I don’t lie. I’m a terrible liar."

"Show me your face then."

She removes the sheet from her face and looks at him in his eyes.

"If you mate with me, we will become spouses. Your life will be bound to me forever. If I die, you will die." She repeats and he tries to find a reaction.

It’s the truth. Nature told her and she’s using that information to make him see that it’s useless keeping her locked with him.

"The same with your spouses? They will live forever being your spouses?" He asks.

She sits and removes her coat a little, showing part of her back after pulling her hair to her shoulder.

"If you see my spousal marks, all of them have the same color as mine." She says.

He watches the marks and passes his fingers on her mark.

"So I’ll become like a beastman? My Nature will change?"

"Not entirely. You will still be the King of Demons if you want. Your Monsters will still obey you. However, you know you might be King, but there’s not only one King in this world. On my side, you will become enemies of them. Is that what you want?"

"Monsters don’t care about anyone or each other’s realm. They will just do everything to take you away from me."

"On my side, you will have to learn to live in balance. Is that what you want?"

He sighs and hisses. He lays his head on his arms and looks to the ceiling. She covers herself again. Then she lays down on his side, looking at the ceiling.

"I wanted to sleep, but now I don’t want to anymore. Thank you for that. Can I tell you some stories?" She asks.

"Whatever." He answers, but he actually wants to hear it.
