Chapter 5
Seven days later, we arrived in the territory of the Beastkin Federation.
The Beastkin Federation was formed by an alliance of many clans. The leader is chosen every four years through a fair and just contest of strength.
The reigning monarch was currently King Oberon, the Serpent King, and Kaelen's father. Therefore, Kaelen's status was more esteemed than the Lycan Prince's.
As soon as we stepped out of the carriage, the welcoming procession arrived.
Tall, handsome Serpent Clan members, already in their human forms, wore luxurious clothing. Behind them was an exquisitely elaborate and spacious carriage, its body gleaming with dazzling golden light.
I looked at Kaelen with delight. He affectionately stroked my fur, then coiled his tail around me and carried me towards the carriage.
In my previous life, when we arrived at the Beastkin Federation, Seraphina and Kaelen had somehow fallen out. Neither would back down, and Kaelen had simply left her behind and returned to the Royal City alone.
I never had the chance to witness such a grand and luxurious scene.
Without even turning back, I knew Seraphina's face must be utterly grim right now, because I could hear the muffled, petulant sounds of her bickering with the Lycan Prince.
"Husband, why aren't our clan members here to greet us? Look how comfortable their carriage is. I'm the older sister, yet my younger sister's procession has outdone mine!"
