Chapter 399: The ceremony (1/4)

As Lucien and Eve wait on the stage, more and more people arrive in that courtyard. Most of them are women, but there are also some men among them.

The women very much want to approach Eve to thank her for the peacetime, but they are afraid to bother the Great Queen or fail to stop looking at Lucien.

Some men want to approach Lucien and say that they accepted Clovis's suggestion to go to Portgreen and start a new life or just talk to the most incredible man today, but they are terrified of Eve.

So the fox-people just waits around the stage, trying to be silent and not face the Queen and the King. Some of them are more courageous and sit on the benches but remain silent, creating a strange atmosphere.

"I think that's why our father didn't let us wander out of that fortress," Lucien comments as he strokes Eve's thigh.

Eve sighs. "He's still an idiot! We can't forgive him for all the shit he did to our moms and us."
