"Three, your Highness," The lioness responded.
"Three?" Burdo repeated. He jumped into the water and immediately swam toward the water tunnel to see his consort.
The water lioness immediately followed after her pride leader with nervousness etched on her face.
She too was also pregnant but she wasn't due yet until the next two months. Usually, lionesses in a pride would synchronize their mating periods so that they would give birth to their cubs at the same time.
But Burdo's pride was welcoming its first cubs, this was the first time. So for now, their birthing times were a bit chaotic.
If not, not just the consort who just gave birth to her cubs, all the other water lionesses would be competing to have a daughter at the same time.
Nalii remained in her spot, her expression interchanging between a frown and gentleness.
