Rui turned back to the two men with a dubious expression. "So, why on earth did you want me to…?"
They grimaced, clearly not pleased they made of him. "We need to find a way to incapacitate her if nothing else, including motherhood, changes her?"
Rui snorted with disbelief as his mouth curled with disgust. "…Why me? I am literally an outsider to the tribe, an ambassador from the Kandrian Empire to the tribe."
They gritted their teeth as they found what was to come hard to even say. "In our tribe, women warriors do not accept mates weaker than them. And currently, she is by far the strongest warrior on the entire island."
Rui found his eyebrows twitching as he massaged his forehead, closing his eyes. "So that's the reason that you chose me because you think I'm stronger than her? Are you serious?"
"…The weight of your mind far exceeds that of hers." N'Kulu countered. "We have reason to believe that you are stronger than her."
