"T-that's so mean. Don't say that in front of Our King, Leah!"
"Of course I won't, Miss. I don't want to get killed."
Ruela scolded her servant girl, but truthfully, she felt a bit relieved.
Yes, the little prince had grown up without a mother. Of course he had no mother figure to guide him properly. Who was to say he wouldn't grow crooked or unstable?
Meanwhile, her own offspring would have both her love and the Beast King's guidance. Their future would be secure and she would be a queen eventually.
On top of that, Ruela doubted the Beast King would continue to pamper the little prince once she bore his children.
The boy had no mother. Eventually, his father would forget him and shift all his attention to her and their litter. It was just normal for a man to do that, right?
