Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 199: Jade’s heavy background...

The room went quiet for a moment. The only sound that could be heard was that of Iris moving around while packing Freya's clothes. Until...

"Hey, explain what you said! Do you think scaring us is enough?! What ancient tribe? What did they do?! And what about the Monarch? How did you arrive at that conclusion?! Stop packing and talk to us. Freya won't let you leave anyway!" Jade exclaimed at Iris while holding herself back from going up to the lady and shaking her until she answered.

She was starting to think that maybe Freya should ban her from watching series. The once serious and dangerous fairy had turned into someone who was always trying to milk a cliffhanger out of everything!

"Sigh... You're right. I guess if I don't make you all understand how dangerous the situation is. I really will be stuck here and die an unfortunate death..." Iris spoke defeatedly as she stopped packing...

Not that there was much to pack anyway. Freya only had a few clothes she got from the others after all.

"Y... Yeah, explain what you mean" Muku who finally managed to get out of his daze supported the notion.

The news about Jade having some mysterious lineage didn't shock him that much. After all, he also had a weird bloodline. The way it was presented to him through a "reward" seemed rather fishy. However, that wasn't of importance at the moment.

What really shocked him was the possible involvement of a Monarch. They had barely escaped Ares. Now they were in danger of offending another one?! The world must be against them for sure. Most people didn't even know of a threat greater than R2 and R3 beasts. Yet they had to deal with Monarchs!

Also, because of the involvement of Chloe's father, they might not have a choice but to get involved. It was a tricky situation...

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the Beast Girl's matter. There was once an extremely powerful tribe that followed a certain being in the past. For that reason, they were enemies of most Monarchs. This was because they helped that being kill a lot of Monarchs. They bathed in the blood of Monarchs to the point that the energy they used changed from mana to Beast Aura. Even their descendants were born with Beast Aura..." Iris speedily told them everything. Taking little breaks in between.

"I suspected such when I saw you at first. However, I never personally came across the tribe's members, so I wasn't certain. Some other people managed to mimic Beast Aura with some secret techniques of their own after all. However, such Beast Aura was nowhere near the level of that tribe. It lacked many key functions, with one being, the natural aggression towards Monarchs. No matter how well hidden the Monarch is, or how weak the tribesman is, they would still be able to find them..." Iris kept on spilling more and more information.

"Your actions before were probably driven by sheer extinct embedded in your genes since you haven't completely mastered your Beast Aura yet. Oh, right! When I felt your Beast Aura, I found out that it was still in its dormant state. As for how to awaken it, I have no idea... Anyway, your domant Beast Aura, which is already a higher quality than any of the copycats plus your reaction made me conclude that you're somehow part of that tribe..." Iris paused again so that the paragraph didn't become too long.

"Only their tribe would be able to do that. I'm not sure how the hell you exist when they should have been wiped out though... Anyway, from that, there is likely a Monarch there... As for what Monarchs are... I can't get into detail about them. Just know that they are beings you should never mess with. So, listen to me and let's go..." Iris came to the end of her explanation.

She didn't get too much into the matters of the Monarchs. All the ancient beings had sworn to not talk about certain things with people who didn't know. So it was really out of her hands. Just mentioning them to the level she did, was all she could do. Along with information on the being and the tribe. She couldn't tell anyone their names and such...

"Don't worry about the Monarch part. We understand. We're already well acquainted with Ares..." Muku replied while still in thought. He was still trying to make sense of what Iris just said.

Jade was in a much worse state though. There were times when she felt a little alien when she looked around her. She was wondering if that might have been why. That feeling only went away when she saw Muku for the first time. Suddenly, everything made sense. She hadn't thought much about it at the time but maybe...

"What do you mean you know about Monarch... And where the hell did you hear that name from?!" Iris exclaimed in genuine shock.

She tried to figure out how they might have learned about that information. However, she came up with nothing. It should have. Been impossible for them to know about that being. Yet, there they were, knowing him by name!

"That's not the problem right now. Since we already know about Monarchs. Along with the name of one of them. You should be able to tell us more right? Like, how to free someone from their control if they are under it and stuff like that?" Muku asked for something linked to Chloe's father. He didn't want a case like Mest's where his soul would be devoured and his body occupied.

"Umm, I guess I can tell you more if you already know that much. However, I think you should give up on that idea. Once a Monarch sinks their teeth into someone. That person is done for. They cannot be saved..." Iris who realised that she wouldn't be told anything no matter how she persisted, replied as truthfully as she could.

"Tsk... Useless" Muku spoke while looking at her with disdain.

"Hey! Is that how you treat me after how much I helped you?! You ungrateful and disrespectful brat! Do you know that I'm old enough to be your ancestor?!" Iris instantly lost it.

Not only did Muku not thank her for what she did. He didn't answer her question as well. Now he dared insult her as well?! If she wasn't so weak, she would have fought him to the death. Why was Freya so slow in improving her strength?!

"You're right, I'm sorry for that" Muku apologised on the spot.

"I... Ah... Huh?" Iris was stunned. She didn't expect him to apologise. Her mind stopped working for a moment.

"Anyway, we won't bother you anymore. We are going to digest what you told us. Oh, and thank you for your help..." Muku said more stuff that stunned Iris. He had always been rude to her after all.

After speaking, he grabbed Jade's hand and pulled her out of the room. She just let herself get pulled silently. Her mind was still working through the information she got. She was questioning her whole life even...

"Huh! Wait! You said they were a tribe of such people. Who had their abilities from birth, right?. I got mine from whatever the owner of that voice in our heads is. I can't be the same as them right?" Jade suddenly asked just when they were about to exit through the door.

"Oh, darling... I know this must be hard for you. However, you didn't gain those abilities from Messenger. You already had them in you. In a dormant state. Only those with Random Classes got them from Messenger" Iris replied. She was a lot more calm when talking to Jade. Feeling a lot more in control.

"Oh... Okay..." Jade accepted the answer. She then held Muku's hand tighter subconsciously. Her mind had gotten even more chaotic than before.

Muku felt the stronger grip but didn't say anything. He was certain that she must be thinking about something very significant. However, be didn't ask. She would tell him when she was ready if she felt he should know.

The duo then walked in silence while holding hands until they reached in front of Jade's room. Muku stooped, but Jade didn't as she was lost in thought. Which made her get pulled back suddenly.

"Hhm?" She looked at Muku in confusion and made a questioning sound.

"We're at your room... Why don't you go inside and lie down while you think? You can look for me later if you want to talk.

I have to talk to the others about the World Evolution for now" Muku spoke softly while looking into Jade's eyes.

She seemed a lot more delicate and a bit lost at the moment. So, he felt the need to be a little more gentle. Which was the right move since Jade really didn't know what to do.

"Right... I'll do that. Thanks..." Jade spoke softly. She then gave Muku a sudden hug before opening her door and going into her room.

Muku just looked on quietly. He was burning to know what she was thinking about. However, he wouldn't push her to tell him. She already knew that he was there for her. Which was enough.

He then closed his eyes a bit to collect himself. Then he went downstairs. He could sense that the others had already gathered there. Including Freya who went down soon after they left her room.

It was definitely going to be one of their most serious talks. From the World Evolution, NL Base, to Jade's matter and the reappearance of Monarchs. There was also the "Messenger" issue Iris unknowingly revealed...
