Shocked by the little creature's words, Ryan regretfully stared at the Queen's corpse.
'That mouth could have done so many things,' Ryan sighed.
Deciding things were too strange, Ryan withdrew from the event and activated his token to leave.

"Girls!" Ryan called, entering his palace.
Soon an assortment of women, including Emily, Lizzy, Izzy, Grace, and Zoey, arrived before him.
