Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 135: Preferences And Desires

…Zabita!" Kael finished his sentence by calling the name of one of his consorts.

Compared to the case of Vixy and Ken, the crowd wasn’t too surprised to hear Kael call the name of his consort to reward her.

They had even expected it from the beginning. This was just how the wild worked, they wouldn’t complain that it was unfair because it wasn’t.

It wasn’t like in modern civilizations where spouses could attach themselves to a high-value man or woman without having any value themselves.

Kael had seen it all too often in his past life, women would chase after successful men and if possible get married to those successful men. Most times, these women did not have any intrinsic value to their person apart from being extremely beautiful.

They barely had any skill in making money, and if they had, it was out of reluctance. They tended to go by the term ’stay-at-home wives’ or ’housewives’.

Kael did not have anything against housewives at all, his Earthly mother had been a housewife while his father supported the entire family with his well-paying job.

But after two divorces, he had grown to appreciate someone who could share in the effort he was putting into their life.

It was simply a matter of preference and ambition. If he were to return to Earth with the same information of ambition he currently had, he would know the type of women he wanted and where to find them. He wouldn’t waste energy on someone who couldn’t contribute to achieving his goals.

That was the crucial thing, achieving his goals. Any woman who thought to tie him down with emotions will find themselves used and discarded brutally.

But he was no longer on Earth.

Here in this wild world, there was no such thing as a stay-at-home lioness. Such a mentality would cause the lionesses to be abandoned and starve to death.

After all, the mothers who went hunting even after having children didn’t have two heads. It was also unrealistic to expect one lion to hunt and feed all the lionesses in his pride.

Even for creatures who bonded to one life partner, there was barely a case of just one of them hunting and providing for the whole family.

To be close to someone like Kael and remain his consort, strength was crucial. Kings have been known to fall out of love with those mistresses who lost their value outside of being a king’s mistress, Kael was not an exception.

And Zabita had that strength. To be able to keep up with all of Kael’s plans was not easy. Many of them remembered seeing Zabita slashing crazily at the strong bodies of the powerful enemies.

Zabita walked out of the crowd silently. Her metal claws created audible clanking sounds with every step she took. She was simply elegant yet her eyes could not hide the lack of motivation.

The way she looked when she glanced at the crowd was with a hint of laziness. Like she would rather be sleeping in a dark cave than being standing in front of them.

Her eyelids dropped halfway, covering half of her eyes and giving her a lazy look. Kael knew that that was just how she looked on a regular day and her appearance did not exactly reflect how she was inside.

After handing Zabita’s reward to her, Kael continued with announcing the next person to receive the reward.

"...Diane!" He called.

The wolves, foxes, and lionesses watched as a muscular lioness, bigger than the others, walked to the front to stand with Kael.

Everybody knew Diane, the biggest lioness in Kael’s group. The only person bigger than her was Kael.

"...Ruda!" Kael called again after he gave Diane one of the hanging carcasses.

Another familiar lioness walked to the front. Her purple fur and the electricity that coursed through her body were not something that was easily forgotten. The most energetic and impulsive of all the lionesses.

"... Olivia!" Kael said. This time, a lot of people in the crowd frowned. Even Burdo could not help but furrow his eyebrows.

Wasn’t Olivia a chubby lioness who barely did any work apart from supporting from the side?

To most of them, Olivia was not that strong. Although, for a tier 2 lioness, she was quite capable of killing a lot of creatures on her own with her physical might, most of them saw it as coincidence or luck.

Besides joining in on some fights and supporting the fighters, Olivia barely did anything in yesterday’s fight. She spent most of her time running around frantically as though she was trying to cover as much ground as possible while everyone was busy fighting.

Not many knew that Olivia was very important and her support went beyond just physical means.

Kael, sensing the confusion and displeasure from his subjects, didn’t entertain it. He frowned slightly as his aura became more suffocating and oppressive.

Those closest to him immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look into his stern eyes.

So what if they were dissatisfied? Did they have the power to challenge his decision?

After all was said and done, six valuable carcasses had been rewarded. Two of which were in the paws of the foxes and four were in the jaws of the lionesses.

This meant that there were only seven reward spots left. Who would it be? They all wondered.

"And now, the next in the list…" Kael began, pausing for dramatic effect.

"... Commander Bibi!"

Immediately, the wolveset out joyful barks. Finally, one of theirs had received a reward.

Commander Bibi sighed with relief. He had expected to be one of those to get a piece of the loot distribution but things were never fully certain with Kael.

He walked his scared, large body to the front just as Kael controlled the vines to drop the body of the metallic-scaled snake.

Commander Bibi had to control himself from drooling. Just the sight of it alone had already worked up his appetite.

Sure, he would have to work his way around the metal scales but that was for another time, he could just make his wolves do it for him.

Finally, with this high-powered corpse, he would be able to advance to tier 3 wolf, the same level his father had been before his death.

A faint lingering feeling of melancholy sprouted in his mind but he was quick to crush it. Nothing, not even his feelings would come in the way of his desires.

With the help of other wolves, Bibi managed to get the snake’s body away from the presentation ground.

Kael glanced around, seeing Burdo and his other lionesses who had recently evolved. He didn’t plan on giving them any rewards, not because he didn’t appreciate them, but because there was just no use.

For Burdo, Kael would prefer to keep him at a point where he would think twice before he made any trouble. After all, Burdo didn’t really show any merit in the previous battle.

Kael had ordered for him to be safe not because he cared, but because of the mysterious beach. Nothing should happen to Burdo until he was strung dry of all he was worth.

As for the tier 3 lionesses, consuming tier 3 hearts or meat wouldn’t do much apart from restoring their energy.

With all these thoughts in his mind, Kael called Commander Bibi to the front again.

"How may I help Your Majesty?" Commander Bibi asked with a weird wolfish grin that made him look scary.

He was just too excited right now, he felt that he had to show his gratitude and loyalty more often, maybe Kael would give him more of these good gifts.

"I want you to take these six carcasses and distribute them among the wolves who performed well on the battlefield.

Leave one carcass for your deputies to share amongst themselves. They are all tier 2 and although it won’t take them to tier 3, it should help them increase their strength a bit.

The remaining five should be shared with the most promising ordinary wolves. With this, we should be expecting a new batch of tier 2 wolves."

Kael didn’t say those words in a private telepathic channel, all the wolves and foxes heard it.

The surroundings erupted with the sound of dozens of joyful barks and howls. That they were excited was an understatement.

Especially the deputies, they had a sudden urge to wage more wars if it meant they would be getting this type of benefit.

"Why didn’t Bibi III do this kind of thing when he was alive? He had to wait for King Kael to come along…" One of the deputies, the newest and second Spirit wolf, said.

"You know what, let us look for all those who don’t like the king…"

"Yes yes yes, let us slaughter their entire generation, hehehe,"

"If anyone looks at us with a bad eye, we’ll report it to the King. After that, we will go to war with those motherfu…"

"Calm down guys, calm down. There’s plenty of bloodshed to go around."

The deputy wolves had never felt so excited. It felt good to be rewarded, Kael was touching upon their inner dogs.

Their sudden desire to go to war in the name of their king was not an uncalculated event, Kael had partially expected it.

As Commander Bibi directed the wolves to start carrying carcasses, his mind frantically searched for anyone who he knew that Kael did not like outside the Kingdom’s circle.

Anyone, just anyone would do.

Fortunately or unfortunately, his mind settled on the two other wolf clans that operated inside the forest.
