"Huh!... You said get your daughter pregnant, your majesty," Ethan asked again, just to be sure he wasn't hearing things wrong.
"That's exactly what I said; the mating season is in two weeks, and the kingdom has already begun the distribution of males around to villages and other smaller cities under my kingdom, so I had to let all the males in the royal palace go, though I kept one" the queen spoke without any care.
Maria didn't say a word; she just kept a poker face, not showing any emotion.
"The one I kept is special, and since you're in the academy, I can't really keep you here, so once you get my daughter pregnant, that's all, and also, you'll be compensated, of course, and it's not a request" the Queen spoke as she stood up.
Maria immediately stood up, and Ethan followed, "I'm not hungry, so go ahead and eat, you over there, come and feed him," the queen spoke as she walked away.
