The mother and daughter recognized each other, and both were overjoyed.
Princess Beini, naive and unacquainted with world affairs, did not know what had happened, but the Queen, holding her daughter who had grown up in the blink of an eye, could not help but shed tears.
It was not until Mu Ying and Ferena approached that she wiped away her tears and asked, "Are you Ferena? Was it you who awakened Beini?"
Ferena nodded, still not having recovered from the shock that his fiancée was mentally just a child.
The Queen's gaze turned to Mu Ying. "And who might this be?"
"I am Mu Ying. It is I who guided him through the thorny forest to ask a question. Please answer my question truthfully as the price for my helping you leave; the thorns are still out there," said Mu Ying.
By this time, she was certain that the Royal Family's slumber had nothing to do with the curse, otherwise, the thorns outside would have reacted when they awoke.
