"No, I am fully aware of the decision I made," Swan said firmly. "Holy Achate shall not have a sovereign queen or king anymore. I am reducing it to a vassal state of the Kingdom of Beastmen. Holy Achate's new and official King would be Gale Stormfront, the Beast King. I will arrange a few capable beastmen to manage Holy Achate as head of the state. The church and the palace would be working together under my husband's rule as well."
Swan's edict was like thunder on a clear sky for both Aria and Anastasia.
Anastasia was expecting Swan to give Aria a chance, so she could be the Queen. If Anastasia could still control her daughter from behind, it wouldn't be so bad for her to leave her position.
But this…
Anastasia couldn't hold herself back anymore. She lifted her head and couldn't control her expression as she snapped, "You ungrateful wench! You can't do this to us! I've taken care of you since you were a baby!"
