Ruela was shocked to hear that the Beast King actually needed help from someone else.
Everyone in the kingdom believed he was immortal and all-powerful. Some even worshipped him as a demigod, blessed with undeniable strength by the Moon Goddess herself.
And now, this seemingly invincible being needed help?
Ruela wanted to believe the Little Prince was lying, but the distress on his face, and the bruises covering his body, proved otherwise. It was clear that he had descended the summit in a desperate hurry, ignoring his injuries just to find Sisi because he believed whatever happened to his father could be handled by that female human.
At first, Ruela wanted to go find the Beast King herself. If she could somehow help him, perhaps he would look at her favorably again, and maybe even restore her title as concubine.
But then she remembered Sisi's words from that morning, spoken when Ruela had been summoned to her chamber.
