The Forest Prince's
Chapters 2. Gathering

A few days later, ahead of a celebration in the tiger area, the tribal leaders held a meeting in the lion tribe region.

In the room, the leaders of other tribes were waiting for Helion the King who had not entered the room.

Wolfbang asked, "where is our honorable king, the mighty Helion? Did he not know that waiting was sickening? And why is Tigerly not present at this time when the celebration will take place in his territory?"

with a sitting position leaning on a chair while raising his right leg.with a moderate but muscular stature, wearing a wolf skin robe, and a headdress of wolf fangs that are coiled on his head.

Arshye, the leader of the Hyena tribe replied, "fix your speaking manner that seems as trivial as our king, the wolfbang. You haven't seen how our king Helion got mad at you."

Doglor, the leader of the dog tribe also retorted," arshye was right, wolfbang. Better keep your mouth in place."

Wolfbang was instantly enraged," you quiet, the dog tribe and the hyena tribe. I don't remember asking for comment from you two.

Even though we are the same2 tribal leaders, the quality of you two is still far below me. I am ready at any time if you do not accept my word2. I only expressed my frustration at the long wait."

Ephant, the leader of the elephant tribe broke them," all of you shut up. You leaders, don't argue in the situation right now.

And you, wolfbang. Don't start a ruckus just because you feel better among some of the other tribal leaders. If you feel strong because you have a large army, I'm ready to serve you, whenever you want."

Ephant then stood up, and looked towards the wolfbang, with a tall and plump posture, and left and right waists tucked into long elephant tusks.

The wolfbang cynically said, "you, ephant? Haha. Be patient. Your time will come."

Then the door of the room opened, followed by Helion who entered the room. Helion walked up to his chair with a stout, stout stature, wearing a robe of lion fur wrapped around his neck, and a preserved lion head over his shoulders. At once all the tribal leaders stood and bowed before Helion. Then Helion said,

Helion said," sit down, my friend2."

The leaders of the tribe simultaneously replied, "well, the king."

Helion opened the conversation, "all of us leaders know that in the near future there will be an annual celebration in the territory of each tribe in turn. This time the celebration will be held in the territory of the tiger tribe. I, as the leader of all the tribes you trust, would like to ask for your report and suggestions my friends, regarding this celebration."

Wolfbang suddenly interjected," sorry before, the king. Before we discussed the celebration, I filed a complaint, regarding the welfare of my group."

Ephant was about to speak but Helion was arrested

Helion asked, "say, what is it?"

Wolfbang answered Helion's question," as we know, our wolf tribe is thriving than ever. But with our territory limited, we became deprived of food resources. If the king allows it, we want to expand our territory so that we can get more resources."

Helion then said again," I will decide later after the celebration. Be patient, my friend wolfbang."

Wolfbang replied, "well, the king."

Helion asked again, "if no one makes any more complaints, let our discussion of the preparatory reports and the additional proposals for our celebration continue."

Azuna, the leader of the peacock tribe said, "report, the king.

related to the decoration of the celebration, we from the peacock tribe have sent a peacock feather decoration to order. If anything is lacking, the king please tell me."

Helion answered, "for now, the decoration is sufficient, azuna. Thank you, my friend.

for other leadership friends2, if there are no more reports or proposals, our meeting is closed.

And it is expected that each 2 tribes prepare themselves for the annual celebration which will soon be held."

The leaders of the tribe simultaneously said, "thank you, the king."

then one by one the tribal leaders stood up and began to leave the room.

Helion calls, "my best friend, wolfbang. Don't go yet. I have something to talk about both."

Wolfbang is called, "well, the king."

Wolfbang asked, "what's wrong, helion?

your face looks riled up?"

Helion then asked back, "I want to ask you, as an old friend. Do you have any intention of bringing me down?"

Wolfbang then laughed loudly.

"only the suicidal will rebel against you, Helion.

everyone knows your story unites all tribes.

even the gorilla tribe will not obey your rules.

I have no such intention. But if I can make a suggestion, keep an eye on Tigerly. I suspect he made a hidden move to another tribe unbeknownst to you, helion."

Helion confused," what do you mean, wolfbang?

Have I not been fair to every tribal leader?"

Wolfbang responds to Helion's perplexity, "you'll know later. Wait and see. Sometimes, there are certain parties 2 who want full control and free rather than bound or limited by the rules as before, Helion.

My advice, increase your alertness. If your group is lacking or too few, you can use my group, the wolf tribe.

and I, as the leader of the wolf tribe, only asked for a little more territory for the survival of my group. For now, think of my offer, Helion. I need to get back to my group now." and then leave Helion alone in the room.

After Wolfbang died, Helion thought hard.

Helion murmured, "a difficult choice. Wolfbang used this kind of situation to the advantage of his group.

if I directly agree to Wolfbang's request, it will have a devastating impact on the territory of other tribes around the wolf tribe. But I wonder, what plan is Tigerly planning to do?

is he still vengeful about what happened in the past?

Why didn't he take revenge long ago, and instead obey the rule2 I made for all the tribes?"

While Helion was thinking hard, Nial came to see her father.

Nial asked, "what's up, dad?

don't you usually like this?"

Helion was astonished" What happened to my father, my son?"

Nial said, "it is vulnerable, fragile, and begins to dwell a lot.

all of our groups know that fathers are strong, assertive, and wise figures.

Whatever the burden of your mind, I'm sure you can solve it wisely."

Helion sighed," I hope so, my son. But this time, the issue is not that simple. You'd rather fight desperately with the enemy directly, than be attacked from behind by someone you consider a friend."

Nial guessed," did this concern the celebration in tiger territory? If you have doubts and worries, we can send our emissaries there as a monitor for the preparation of the event. And whatever is suspicious, we can tell from our emissary.

I'm sure the tiger tribe won't be rash and kill our messenger, father. It just so happens that I have a friend from our tribe, and he's talented at seeing suspicious hal2."

Helion enthusiastically said, "your proposal may be tried, my son. Tell him to see Dad, so he can give him a warrant. So the tiger tribe also can't do anything to our messenger there later."

Nial said, "well, dad. I'll call him now."

then he walked away from Helion, the King and his father.
