"W-what about me? Of course, I will be just fine! I'm sure His Majesty will pardon me too!" Alice yelled, but at this point, she was just trying to convince herself or else she would fall into deep despair.
"Do you think you're so special for the Beast King to pardon you?" Long Xiurong sneered. "He doesn't love you like he loves Queen Swan. I am Queen Swan's only friend in this castle, and yet, I will get executed for one mistake. If the Queen's friend is not free from execution, then what about a random bunny maid in the castle? Don't you realize you have no value to him when he could just take another bunny beastman from your tribe and replace you as a maid?"
"T-that's not—"
"That is the truth," Long Xiurong interrupted. "You know that you're not important to him. You're just deluding yourself, thinking that you can be a hero somehow."
