"H-how could that be?" Blaze was utterly confused. There was zero chance that Princess Swan would survive the suppressive aura emanating from the Beast King's body, especially since she was inside that cave with him.
Even if she somehow survived the suppressive aura, she definitely wouldn't survive the cursed beast's gaze or his claws.
'His Majesty must be in denial. He's so in love with Princess Swan, that's why he cannot accept that he had accidentally killed the Princess…'
Blaze didn't want to anger His Majesty, so he simply played along, "T-then, I'm glad she is safe, Your Majesty. And thank you for sparing my life…"
"Hm," Gale nodded nonchalantly. He turned his head towards the direction where the other beastmen stayed to guard the area. Blaze Silverfang might've survived his aura, but he didn't know about the rest.
