Gale was confused when he saw their sad expression as if they were mourning over something.
Surely, they weren't mourning for the animals he accidentally killed during his rut, right? After all, it was inevitable, and it was already good enough damage control considering he didn't kill any beastman or human last night.
Nevertheless, Gale paid them no mind and ordered, "Prepare a breakfast for Swan and I. Make sure to warm them up, especially for my wife. It was very cold last night, so she needs some nourishment."
The beastmen soldiers exchanged glances as they thought that His Majesty was in denial over Princess Swan's death.
They wanted to point it out, but nobody dared to, not even Blaze.
Thus, they all decided to just follow the instructions so they wouldn't accidentally anger His Majesty.
Gale returned to the cave, and the beastmen got busy preparing breakfast for the two.
