Aria glanced at Swan for a second, before returning her gaze to the Beast King.
"I've heard the rumor that you are meant to find your fated mate and produce an heir. I also heard the rumor that wolf beastmen, in general, cannot produce offspring if they don't mate with their fated one," Aria mentioned two of the most common topics about wolf beastmen. The wolf beastmen were similar to the swan beastmen. Both could only bond with one mate in their lifetime, so the Moon Goddess forbade them to produce an heir except with their fated mates.

He pursed his lips as he let her roll with that question.
"May I know if Queen Swan has been pregnant with your offspring yet, Your Majesty?" Aria asked. "If she is not, then does that mean she is not your fated mate?"
