"Kimana is the insect queen? That's why Rhea told me to search for her. She can prevent the insect clan from attacking me."
"Mistress, have you met Lady Rhea?"
"Only a remnant of her consciousness. She told me that the insect clan had marked my soul. Soon, I would be forcibly dragged back to the Underworld."
The man looked visibly surprised before letting out a sorrowful sigh. "I see."
"Fatty... I mean, I still don't know your real name."
"Just call me Fatty. I'll disappear soon anyway."
"What happened to Kimana? Where is she now?"
Fatty slowly walked toward Selene. Once he stood close enough, he gently placed two fingers against her forehead. In an instant, a flood of memories and information regarding Kimana poured directly into Selene's mind. She finally understood how Kimana, an insect queen, had become her mother's contracted beast.
