Chapter 16: Non-mature

Recap: That night was a great night for the Rowwe family, who had a small feast in honour of Edena getting married. While other people were celebrating, others were plotting. 'Chief! Your wives have found out about the marriage and are plotting again." The chief slammed his hands on the table: "Damn it!"

Third person p.o.v

The chief was extremely annoyed because he didn't think they would retaliate against him so quickly. He was supposed to be the chief, the person with the most power in the village. But really, none of the elders nor his wives truly thought about him as a person. No one cared about his well-being or his true feelings. People just liked to see of him as their leader and the benefits that would come with associating with him. Whether that be power, land, food or even women, people would only be drawn to him for all these but himself. He yearned for someone who would treat and respect him for who he was and not what he represented. His wives annoyed him the most. Especially his second and fifth wives. Those two women were deep schemers and even he has fallen into their traps a number of times. He was not scared- fine he admits he was actually very scared of both women and what they would do to Edena after the marriage. Would he save her or not? Was it worth it?

Meanwhile in another hut about 4-5 metres away, two elaborately dressed women were sitting on wooden chairs and sipping on tea. Just by the fact that they could sip tea leisurely, one could tell that these women were very high ranked in society. They were both extremely pretty and seductive and wear hardly modest. One wore a dark blue dress with a deep v to showcase her huge melons and a slit that reached mid-thigh. Overall, if she bent all the way down, you'd be able to see everything and more. The lady next to her was much more modest in that she wore long sleeves and a high collared green dress which covered the entirety of her chest but the dress itself was extremely short to showcase her creamy thighs and well-manicured feet. It was not a wonder that men were forbidden from coming to that side of the chief's estate. Just seeing both women would make any man's mind run wild.
The girl in green spoke first: "Sister Yun, did you hear of our latest addition in competition yesterday. Apparently, that slave girl is getting married to the chief. I mean what is that stupid guy really thinking about? Can't he wait until some of us get pregnant? Is he really in a rush? I mean there are so many beauties in here so why can't he fall in love with one of us? Why does it have to be that disgusting Edena girl?" Yun smiled prettily and replied: "Yanyan you know how it is? With our backgrounds, can the first wife really let us give birth? It is already a miracle that Edena even gave birth to a boy! You just wait! That evil woman will take away her child and pin all her misdeeds on us again. We have to quickly come up with counter measures so we don't get caught up with her plans. If we do get caught up, our families will not save us!"

Yanyan was visibly startled at Yun's words and asked in urgency: "What should we do? The darkness has been silent recently and my powers have not been increasing as of late." Yun replied cheekily: "Don't worry about that at all! We'll just lure some men over and keep increasing our powers in secret. Meanwhile, don't make any rash decisions at all and keep in your own hut. Don't send out any spies at all and remain ignorant. The first wife will get impatient and have to make her moves first. By that time, she shall receive a big present from me!" Yanyan laughed merrily and changed subjects, she trusted her friend not to mess things up because she was the smarter of the two.

As all the big plotters were making some moves, even the first wife herself could not remain unaffected. She sat in the middle of her hut cross legged with no slaves around her as she had sent them all out. She was extremely threatened by this new baby that came out of nowhere. She knew her husband had an obsession with Edena but did not know when they had been secretly meeting to have this baby. Thinking about it more, the woman suddenly laughed coldly: "So it's like this. The chief really has a big heart to accept that slave with her child that was born out wedlock. I am now 80% percent sure that the baby cannot be the chiefs because l monitored him every single second of the day. He hardly ever met with her so there is no way that Edena could even be pregnant. Very good! Since, she wants to become a phoenix, then l will not hinder her. I already have plans on how to reveal that the baby is not the chiefs. I only have to wait for those stupid concubines to move first."
