Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Please Eat Me Now

Swan gulped when Gale kept on staring at her intently. His brows furrowed, waiting for her to speak more.

Yet, she kept telling herself this was her only chance to save the people in her kingdom.

"I'm n-nervous. I'm scared because I might make you angry. I-I don't know if I should be talking in the first place. I'm sorry."

Swan began to ramble amid her speech. She lowered herself, ashamed that she was not good enough to convince him.
