"Then we have a question, Your Majesty. What did the crown prince and Luna encounter in the central area of the Dark Forest?" Spencer asked.
"Based on your looks, I can tell that you already have an idea of what it was. And that you are fairly sure of what you are thinking now," Archibald replied.
"Then can we ask for a confirmation, Your Majesty?" Spencer asked, albeit weakly as compared to his first question.
Archibald could tell that their reaction was not because they feared facing a demon for the first time. Instead, it was fear of facing a demon, that's all.
"Yes. According to Julian, it was a demon egg that was about to hatch maybe a month or two."
They felt like cold water was poured on them all of a sudden.
They had an idea and already felt like questioning their lives. But having a confirmation is different than having none.
When heard it. They still felt like they were played by their fate.
