"What about the baby, Your Majesty?" Matoa asked. "That baby is innocent."
Swan caressed her belly.
She wanted to say that she probably would ask for the Goddess' help to find a way out, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she just said, "Don't worry. I will make sure my baby will be safe, no matter what. I have my own ways."
Matoa found that statement to be sad, yet also disturbing.
But he couldn't comment on it, because he knew that Gale would also kill himself if Swan died first.
That wolf had been under so much pain due to the curse for decades. Now that he had finally found his remedy, Matoa doubted that Gale would return to the old days when he had to suffer every year.
"I hope there will be a happy ending for you and Gale. You two deserve it after enduring so much pain for years," Matoa said before leaving Swan's room.
