"MOTHER TREE, I appreciate that you're helping me," Mona said carefully. "But I want to know if you already knew from the start that my baby's grim future. Do you know that the gods and the Spirit World plan to use my child to protect their own worlds?"
The Cosmic Tree fell silent for a while before speaking again. "My dear Mona, no matter how much I treasure you, there are things that I cannot tell you even if I wanted to. If the gods want me to seal my lips, I have no choice but to do so."
Even if she wanted to, she couldn't get mad at the Cosmic Tree.
She knew that her Mother Tree was already showing her affection for her by giving her the title of 'Daughter of Nature.' Despite all of that, she was aware that there were things that the Mother Tree couldn't do for her.
"If that's the case, then why did you decide to help me now?" she asked worriedly. "Aren't you going to be punished by the gods?"
The gods had eyes everywhere.
