She wondered what the Seracians would think of this outcome. Whatever it was, she would defend Alena as best she could. She didn?t wish to hide this from them, but neither was the harlot going to allow the larger pride to stomp all over her. Medusa would fight if necessary, even with her own children slowly budding within her womb. She cared little for them, after all, even if she?d desired them for a purpose. Perhaps Deteste would find fault in her, but she would worry about that if she situation did, in face, arise.
?You are fine, my dear. I can understand the worries of a mother,? she said, and wasn?t that a lie. She didn?t understand on a personal level, but she knew what women supposedly felt for their offspring. ?We will go to Seracia, and we will speak with their leaders together. I promise you that I will not allow them to take your children from you. They will stay with you, here. If they kick out your children?s father, he is welcomed here, so long as he does not stir up more trouble,? she assured.
?Does that work for you?? she asked. Medusa wasn?t offering another outcome, but she at least wanted to make it sound like she was being somewhat accommodating.
