Her decision

The two queens looked at Claudius with eyes filled with intrigue and curiosity. Their eagerness to hear about every detail were literally flashing in both pairs of beautiful eyes. 

"Tell us, Claudius. We want to know all the details on this." Queen Beatrice stated and Evie nodded her agreement enthusiastically. "Please be seated." 

Claudius sat himself calmly on the nearest available chair after nodding respectfully at the queen. "Your Majesty, I'm not sure why you are asking about this matter. But if you have plans to have a mating bond be triggered on purpose, I really do not recommend it to anyone." 

"Why?" Evie asked dismally. She could not suppress that overwhelming feeling of disappointment when she heard Claudius say that. Initially, upon hearing that he knew a way to trigger the mating bond, she had been so overjoyed and expectant. She even thought Claudius would willingly help them out in this as he had always been helping her out all this time.
