While she was uncertain of the nature of the self-proclaimed Queen, Fio didn't doubt her when she seemed certain that the beast would not attack when roused. If it had, she was prepared to immediately put one of her most powerful attack spells through its skull and end its life as swiftly as she could.

The Queen's next words, however, caught her attention immediately.

"Y-you...!" cheeks flushed at the embarrassing implication of her words, the petite witch immediately turned away, even as she walked, "I-I'm not sure what you're insinuating, y-your highness, but it's definitely not wh-what I meant! I just thought you may want to speak after the defense of the town, and that's it!"
