Ruru gulped nervously.
At first, she didn't understand what was the problem with His Majesty having more than one spouse. She thought it would be fair as long as His Majesty prioritized Lady Odette over Lady Odile and make her the queen.
After all, Ruru's kin—the werecats—was a very open society that allowed the female and male to mate with each other freely whenever the female was in heat.
Of course, the female would only want a strong male to breed them.
Thus, the whole 'preordained fate by the Moon Goddess' concept was very foreign to Ruru.
However, when she heard that a concubine wouldn't be able to get pregnant and would be in pain during sex, she quickly realized the severity of the situation. If she were to be in Lady Odette's shoes, then she would also retaliate and try to escape.
Odette smiled seeing the troubled look on Ruru's face. It was obvious that she was conflicted between defending her king or the lady she served.
