What Sisi said made sense. If they parted ways peacefully, the faeries might be kind enough to allow Sisi to leave from time to time and visit her family.
But if he stubbornly refused to give her up, then the faeries would think of the Dusk and Dawn Star as the enemies they had to separate from their Darling.
But Kael was too selfish to let her go. Everything was based on probability. It was a big what if. What if the faeries decided that Sisi didn't need to return to the Beast Kingdom anymore, and barred her from ever leaving?
He didn't want to risk losing Sisi permanently.
"I still won't allow you to leave, Sisi. And Jojo… Jojo will be devastated knowing that you'd leave him alone. Don't you realize that boy is your son too?"
Sisi's heart was aching whenever Jojo was mentioned. She kept telling herself that Jojo had his father by his side to protect and guide him.
But deep down, she also knew that it was impossible for Jojo to accept that his mother was just… gone.
