Seeing this, Reinhardt simply smiled. "There is nothing wrong with it, Your Majesty."
He spoke, using a tone that he only used in private. It was a testament to the history between them and his promise to her.
After being assured by Reinhardt, the Queen finally relaxed a little.
"Then why isn't it eating?" she blinked.
"It's because you have been trying to feed it worms and things that a normal bird eats".
At that moment, a voice echoed within her mind.
[See? I told you.]
It was Minerva.
[You should have given it mana crystals or core stones. If it's a magical beast, it should eat those].
The Queen frowned slightly. Then looked at Reinhardt.
"Should I have fed it core stones instead? Minerva's been chanting 'It's a beast, it eats power,' in my head for forty-eight hours straight. But that seemed… cruel. To give a baby rocks."
Reinhardt smiled and shook his head again. He reached out and stroked the chick.
