Timothy was barely breathing. It had been close to an hour since the confrontation between Elias and Patience but Elias was still hot. His tail was twitching, like it wanted to strike sothing else.
The rabbit beast man couldn’t help wondering what would have happened if all six tails had made an appearance. He knew for sure, that Patience would not have walked out alive.
"Stop tapping your foot Timothy." Elias snarled.
Timothy stopped. "Sorry my lord, just nervous." He moved to the other side of the room, across from Elias. "My lord, if you are wondering how to apologize to Lady Sienna, might I make suggestion?"
Elias looked at his assistant.
Timothy recognized the ’go on’ look. "A...a..public apology, rectifying the misunderstandings everyone has about her."
Elias put his hands together, and rested his head against them, using his chin. On any other day, he would have said no, but this was not any other day. He recalled Sienna’s words, about how she had suffered since eting him. How he had wronged her.
He thought of Cyra and what she had said about punching the guy that treated her the way he had treated Sienna.
Lastly, Patience’s words about he never bothered to investigate because he had all these biased opinions about Sienna.
He never married her for love and he didn’t love her now. But, she was the mother of his children and his legal wife. For those reasons, her reputation had to be cleaned up. It could be considered as part of the compensation he owed her.
He logged onto BeastNet. Every tribe leader or beast lord had a personal BeastNet page. His was rarely used. Every once in a while Timothy posted a picture of him at work.
Timothy’s eyes widened. "My lord, on your personal page!"
Elias nodded. "It will be more sincere this way. Besides, it will have a personal feel."
[Lord Fox Elias: Official Clarification on My Lady Sienna.
Rumors about my wife have been rampant in the last five and a half years. I want everyone to know that they are lies engineered by certain parties for selfish reasons. As a husband, I was indeed horrible because I did not clear the air soon enough.
First: Sienna has never stalked .
Second: She did not trap with a pregnancy.
Third: I do not hate my wife because of her size, I think it makes her cuddly and cute. But I support her new fitness journey wholly.
I would like to publicly apologize to my wife for all the misunderstandings. Anyone who continues to spread lies about us will be sued.]
Timothy had already moved behind Elias and he read the statent twice. "Cute and cuddly!" he exclaid. "Since when do you use such language and when did you think of her as cute and cuddly?"
Elias did not respond.
"Are you still getting a divorce?" Timothy asked curiously.
Elias looked at Timothy like his rabbit ears had transford into horns. "What does a divorce have to do with an apology?"
Timothy’s right foot started to tap. He slapped his thigh to stop the movent. "Cute and cuddly."
Elias cleared his throat. "Cyra was the one that said those words, I am just borrowing them to make a point." He posted it imdiately.
And thus, started another trending topic.

The golden throne of the Beast continent had a fierce leader, His Majesty, Leon Star-Mane. He was a lion beast man whose mane shone brighter than a solar flare. His laughter bood like thunder across the marble halls. He was known for his physical strength, feared for his title and yet, his greatest joy was not conquest, nor treasure.
It was gossip.
Not just any gossip but gossip about the beast lords that served under him.
At this mont, he was sprawled lazily across a velvet couch, clutching a square shaped phone with lion ears. "Hahaha! Co and look at this Serenya." he bellowed, eyes gleaming with delight. "Elias is finally getting his couppance. That bastard dares to talk back to but his wife has got him by the balls. Look, she called him horrible and now he is apologizing. When has Elias Veythar ever apologized to anyone?"
His dainty lioness, draped in silken robes the color of the sky, leaned closer with a ladylike smile. She did not enjoy her husband’s pass ti but she indulged his antics with the patience of a saint. "Elias apologized. How nice of him. I always thought he was too cold, it is good to know that he has a heart."
The beast king slapped his knee roaring with laughter. "Look at the s. Who drew these images, we should hire them secretly to draw more. The other lords are already mocking him--the hawk lord said Elias should publish a sequel called ’Ten Thousand years of a horrible husband’s regret." He roared in delight.
Serenya covered her mouth with a delicate hand, giggling in a ladylike way. "My love, you mustn’t laugh so loudly. The servants will hear and soon the whole continent will know you are rejoicing in the fox lord’s agony."
"Let them know!" The beat kind declared, mane shaking with mirth. "Elias and I are not friends."
"You are not enemies either." His wife replied, tilting her head thoughtfully. "Perhaps, instead of mocking the from afar, we should invite the Fox Lord and his wife to visit."
The beast king froze, then burst into fresh laughter, rolling across the couch. "Invite them here so that we can watch them quarrel in person. Maybe I will get to see Elias kneel and grovel. Brilliant, you are brilliant Serenya."
Serenya sighed. "That is not what I ant. I was going to suggest that we help them overco this hurdle. I have always thought that Sienna got the short end of the stick in that marriage. Elias is a cold man and his family can be snobbish sotis. That poor woman, without a beast or strength of any kind, how has she survived living with them! She deserves sympathy for enduring such a husband."
The beast king wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes, already imagining the scene where Elias was made to kneel by his wife. No thoughts of helping the fox lord crossed his mind.
The more the beast man suffered, the better. "Ah, my love, my Serenya, you are wise. Let us summon them at once! Throw one your tea parties and get her talking. I want to know why she called him horrible."
Serenya sighed. A part of her felt sorry for Elias.
