Beauty And Her Obsessors

Chapter 51: Change in heart

Freya POV

Over the past month, things had become hectic. With the return of Lucas and his decision to live in the tribe. It was shocking to say the least.

There were a lot of mixed emotions within the tribe. Most of the residents wanted to kick him out fearing his brutality and overall title since he was a wild feral. However, I was quite shocked when Alex, out of all the orcs, stood up for him. Defending Lucas and proving to his people that he wasn't a threat.

I thought that they weren't getting along seeing them glaring and fighting with one another. But I guess there are many ways for them to get along. More specifically their way of getting along, meaning all three of them.

Lucas and my two mates introduced daily chaos. The bitter feuds between Shino and Lucas each morning, along with the endless rants among the three, were far from the typical lethal and aggressive confrontations of beastmen.

Instead, they focused on annoying each other and engaging in constant bragging. The trio developed a relationship akin to that of siblings—not the affectionate and caring ones. But rather I see petty and childish behavior. Although rough fights occasionally broke out among the trio, most of their interactions consisted mainly of mini arguments. 

What arguments you may ask? 

Well pretty dumb ones.

This one time, when the four of us ventured to the market, I encountered an orc vendor selling dresses. As I looked the selection, recalling that the orc vendor was in front of me, I sought the vendor's opinion on which dress looked nice to wear in the summer since the dresses he made were just like the ones on Earth. I can see that the vendor who created these has an eye for fashion. The dresses were vibrant and well stitched together. 

Little did I know that this simple question would unleash chaos.

Suddenly, Alex, Lucas, and Shino were bombarding me with their opinions, each transforming the moment into what seemed like a passionate debate like they were in fucking in an election. 

Each of them looked as if they instantly turned into designers. All three battling out the dresses they chose, hoping for me to choose. Hearing their loud rants was embarrassing enough, but realizing we had become the center of attention, with every orc in the crowded market turning to watch us, it was even more mortifying.

In an unexpected turn of events, the three of them had come to an agreement. 

I swore it was like their brains lit up and instead of me choosing a dress the crazy trio instead bought me every dress available in the stall. I was grateful for their gesture, my initial desire was for just one dress to wear in the summertime. But now I can't complain now. The dresses that were now stored in my closet were worth a lot of money. I don't think beastmen vendors take refunds. 

The unpredictable trio of Lucas, Shino, and Alex often finds themselves in endless arguments, but there are moments when they reach a unanimous agreement. Such unity among them is a blessing and curse. 

A blessing, because their arguments put an end to the constant squabbling, yet a curse, as their agreement inevitably leads to all three of them teaming up against me.

Right now, I woke up from bed and began getting ready for the morning. From taking a relaxing bath then going to dress up before eating breakfast. The moment I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. I flinched hearing a loud slam.

I saw the bedroom door slam open and three beastmen had fallen onto the ground. Lucas, Shino, and Alex were that of stacked potatoes, each one of their bodies on top of each other from the fall.
