Meanwhile, Dwayne and Yvonne silently observed the illusion. The expressions on their faces gradually became darker and colder.
"So..." Dwayne's voice became icy. "One little insect managed to escape our extermination that day."
Yvonne lowered her head. "It's my fault. I should have destroyed every remaining egg inside the swamp back then." She sighed softly. "If I had done that, those insects would never have had the chance to evolve into a king."
Dwayne gently wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders. "You're not at fault." His voice was gentle. "You and Kimina have always possessed compassionate hearts that cherish every living creature. If anyone deserves the blame, it's the Divine Alliance for failing to detect the birth of an Insect King." He smiled reassuringly.
Yvonne sighed again, but a faint smile finally appeared on her face. "My mother and grandmother are both members of the Alliance." She looked at him playfully. "They don't like you."
