Basil Jaak entered the room of the Eternal Night Queen and said to her, who was reading a book, "I'm preparing to leave tomorrow."
"I have said before, you can leave whenever you wish," the Eternal Night Queen put down her book and turned to Basil Jaak.
Basil Jaak continued, "She doesn't want to go with me!"
"Fairy Powell refuses to go?" The Eternal Night Queen showed a trace of surprise.
As an outsider, the Eternal Night Queen could detect that Mamie Powell had some feelings for Basil Jaak. It made sense that Basil Jaak, risking his life to rescue Mamie Powell, should have got her to leave with him. To the Queen's surprise, however, Mamie Powell refused.
However, the fact that Mamie Powell had chosen to stay was good news for the Eternal Night Queen.
With both Mamie Powell and the child in her belly staying, the Eternal Night Queen wouldn't have to worry about Basil Jaak harming her.
