"Huh?" the Sky God reacted. "They already know? How?"
Alex contemplated for the briefest moment before deciding to tell her the truth. It wasn't as though she wouldn't find out about it sooner anyway.
"You are surely aware of the Moon Goddess, aren't you?" Alex asked. "I met someone with the Moon Goddess's body on my journey in the beast realms, and she now knows about the tree."
The Sky God's eyes shot wide open.
"Why would you do that?" she asked. "Now the demons know about the tree."
"Yes," Alex said. "So you can't hide it from them like you originally planned to, Your Majesty. They will fight back if we try to do so."
The Sky God held a rather annoyed look as she crossed her arms and fell into deep thought. She had to think of a way out of this somehow, but she simply could not.
"Was there a reason why you did that?" she asked. "Had you already foreseen this possibility and wanted to foil my plans somehow?"
"No," Alex said. "I simply did so because I trusted her."
