บท 45: Chapter 45: Eyes On Me (Mature Content)

"Our… Cubs?" 

"Mhm," Swan rested her head on his shoulder and murmured, "What if you have cubs later in your old age? Will you just let them be? It will probably take them a long time to match the raw strength at your prime."

"We don't have cubs yet, so I never thought about it, at least not now," Gale said. He stared at Swan with a hungry gaze, but Swan couldn't see that because of Gale's blindfold.

Thus, she continued her narrative so Gale would care more about his kingdom's future.

"But what if we get many cubs with us in the future? I don't want them to rely solely on you. When the time comes between us to pass the kingdom to them, I want them to be able to lead with both strength and intelligence," Swan enunciated. Honestly, she only said this because she wanted Gale to understand the urgency of building his kingdom properly, so it would last for the next hundreds of years, like Holy Achate.
