The Return of the Beast Princess

Chapter 121 - Meeting the leaders (Part 1)*

"What do you call this kind of house again?"

Merrik is still in awe as he looks around the house provided for each leader that Asha has planned for them to use to rest or even spend the night if their meeting gets too long. She anticipated that this might happen so she built medium-sized minkas in their business district that can be readily used. Each house can accommodate a maximum of five beast men. These minkas will serve as open fenced VIP houses, provided to be used by chiefs or kings along with their escorts.

"It is called minka by our guild master. The inside is complete with furniture provided by her. If you do not have any more questions, you may stay here and rest while we prepare for your meeting with our alpha female. If you plan to take a look around outside, Boris here will be your guide all throughout your stay in this island. I am taking my leave to report to our guild master."

Zeev bows slightly before leaving. Boris remained standing outside the porch.

Ervin touches the wooden pillars and stone walls while Merrik walks leisurely along the porch as he smiles and looks around. The ambiance is peaceful and serene. A small pond with tiny fishes can be seen on the yard. A flowering tree that blooms white flowers beside it is beautiful and gives off this sweet and lemony scent. There are also shrubs with the same kind of flowers along a pebbled pathway leading to a small elevated wooden platform that has long wooden chairs and a small table. Merrik lazily lies on one of the chairs while he watches the leaves of the tree rustle when the cold breeze pass.

"It is surprising that this island does not have cold sand everywhere," Ervin sits on the other chair facing where Merrik is.

"They call it snow. You were not listening to Asha when she was explaining that this is a tropical island. That is the reason why snow does not exist."

"You have been paying attention to her so seriously Your Grace. You even call her by her name now."

"Why should I not? We are both leaders. And have you seen a place such as this anywhere in the beast world? Why would I not pay attention to what the nymph is saying? She made all of these. I am simply amazed to what a female like her can do. I know my coral palace is amazing but this island has so much more to offer. Not only is it unique and pleasing to the eyes, but everything we see here has its purpose. Like everything has its use why it is there and available."

"But there are too many annoying rules to follow. Like we need to use that... that thing for urinating or moving the bowels..."

"Toilet. They call it a toilet," Merrik was sniffing on a flower he is holding that he plucked from a shrub.

"Whatever. Covering our privates with a skirt..."

"To look decent and proper," Merrik continues to twirl the flower with his fingers.

"Not throwing anything anywhere that you wish to discard..."

"To maintain the cleanliness of the surroundings. Is it not sensible enough to just follow the rules? It is not even difficult to follow. They have simple rules but can you see how great and orderly everything looks? Everywhere I look is clean and tidy and it even smells great! All the beast men in the island looks very disciplined. How can this guild's island be even compared to the kingdom of Byakko which is dirty and stinks in every corner. I might have to try this set of rules in my kingdom...."

"But you are a king! You make the rules not follow them!"

Merrik raises an eyebrow at Ervin when he heard his voice getting agitated.
