Chapter 166: 166: A Plot To Hear.

Immediately, everyone’s attention was moved to Ayra and her neck. It wasn’t so clear now, but a better look exposed a mark over her neck.

And it was easy for the older ones to understand. The tribe lords turned and stared at Commander Lynn without questions. And Commander Lynn stood there, suddenly panicking with shyness.

Ally still had more questions. "Mama, did someone hurt or bite you on your neck? Tell me, I’ll go and beat them up now!" She insisted.

Ayra suddenly felt shy at the moment, her cheeks flushed as she smiled down at the cheeky little fox. "No, it’s nothing serious, just some random mark. It’ll fade away soon."

Ayra was surprised that it hadn’t completely faded off. She thought it’d fade off immediately, but she guessed it’d take some days or something.

"Oh, I see. As long as mama is okay?" She smiled as she continued admiring the eggs one by one. But she had already made the mess, all eyes were on Ayra and Commander Lynn now.

Rai and Kan smiled teasingly at Ayra and Commander Lynn as they said, "I guess they’re already official now..." Kan said.

"I didn’t know my brother was this straightforward to get whatever he wanted," He folded his arms, shaking his head amused.

Kan raised a thumb at Commander Lynn. "Really impressive!"

Ayra smiled as she shook her head while Commander Lynn stood there firmly, shy.

The tribe lords kept staring at Commander Lynn before they stared at themselves.

"I guess he beat us to it.." Lord Ash blinked.

"He became the female’s official mate before us..." Lord Vale was speechless.

They stared at him as Lord Ash asked, "How did he even.. beat us to it? I’ve already suspected them but I never knew he’d be this fast."

Lord Vale shook his head with a sigh. "I guess you don’t judge that quickly... This only means one thing: we have to act fast."

Lord Ash nodded in agreement. "We’ll have to move the ceremony up faster," he insisted.

Ayra casually smiled as she watched the tribe lords get jealous over Commander Lynn marking her officially before them.

She watched them ask him endless questions but he simply shook his head and nodded without saying anything.

Rai and Kan shook their heads as they stared at the jealous tribe lords and then at themselves. "I guess they have competition now..."

Kan nodded with a smile. "True."

Rai turned to Ayra and asked, "But, did your rank upgrade because you officially marked with Commander??"

"..." Ayra blinked, staring without words.

"That may be true," Kan nodded. "I still can’t believe the female upgraded her rank."

"Me too," Rai shook his head. "Sister Ayra, can you tell us your secret for that? Maybe I can upgrade my rank too."

"That means you have to get marked too," Kan teased.

"Shut up," Rai snapped as Ayra laughed.

Rai asked further, "Does this mean that you’ll continue upgrading your rank with time?" He was curious.

Ayra smiled as she shrugged. "Possibly, I guess."

"Wow," Rai and Kan shook their heads, impressed.

Rai said, "Then I’m curious to see the female become an S-rank female! A rare rank!"

Kan nodded in agreement. "That will make our tribe so special then! Us having an S-rank female!" The two nodded with a smile.

Ayra shook her head with a smile. "Then I can’t wait for that to happen as well."

While they discussed, Lord Zark decided to change the topic as planned. "So... When do you wish to execute the plan?"

Ayra hesitated with some thoughts. Lord Zark and Vale had informed the rest they trusted about the plan, so they were pretty much aware of it.

They only sat and listened to what Ayra had to say.

"At the moment, I’ve already come extremely close to finding out the person behind it," she explained as they listened attentively.

"You are close?" Rai stared, curious.

Ayra nodded. "I do. And right now all I need to do is work on the major evidence I have at hand.. I got the evidence from soothing the wild cat. I found a significant poison in his body. So I’ll work with that, and that will help me find the person."

As she explained, everyone nodded in agreement.

"That’s great then," Rai nodded. "I was so pissed off when I saw people accusing you! Ungrateful! I can’t wait for you to expose the real culprit!" He explained.

Kan nodded in agreement.

Ayra smiled. "Don’t worry, soon I’ll expose it all," she added. "In about two days now or so, I’ll work on the poison evidence I have at the cave room where the evidence is currently kept. And after that, I’ll finally discover who did it."

They all nodded in agreement. They had intentionally given out the information of the cave room and where the cave room was.

Ayra had intentionally given the information to pull the culprit. And she was certain it was going to work.

"That’s great then. I can’t wait for you to find the person," Rai said.

After they were done talking, they proceeded to begin retiring to their destinations.

"You should get some rest," Lord Ash said as he walked to carry Ally.

"I want to stay with mama and the eggs," Ally insisted.

"No, mama has to rest," He insisted, pulling her up in his arms. "Let’s go and let her rest."

Lord Vale informed, "You should eat the fruits and rest to get some strength for the future. Okay?"

Ayra nodded with a smile. "Sure I will."

"Take care of our little ones too. I can’t wait for them to hatch. I’ll be there first thing to give them names!" Rai expressed with a smile as Kan pulled him out to leave.

While everyone began leaving, Lord Zark placed a hand over Commander Lynn’s shoulder and pulled him closer as they left.

Lord Zark said, "Take care, and for us.." he stared at Commander Lynn. "I think we have a lot to talk about too."

Ayra smiled laying there as she watched them leave, watching the tribe lords take Commander Lynn with them. She could already imagine them bombarding him with endless questions like a suspect.
