@Raknasuu : Considering the church has been removing anyone who even remotely anger the sister in fear of her anger bringing disaster to the kingdom, that'd be a whole new level of stupid.
"So the miko is favoring the beast people, LET'S GO KILL THEM CLEARLY THAT WILL MAKE HER RETURN TO US"....
@WhimsiCat They can easily twist it to become "Lets save the poor child from the savage beastmen for her own good (and then she can repay the gratitude in the future and help us)". If they are greedy enough they will twist it for their own purposes. However let us hope the prince boy is sensible, which just due to tropes and just surprised face I'd assume he is somewhat.
@Eldau : It doesn't matter what 'they' say, what matter is the Miko's feelings.
They can spew all the shit they want, but at the end of the day Lerunda like Gaius, the gryphons, etc, so the moment they try to harm them it's divine retribution time.
@Oculunus I think that's doubtful really, if he'd been taken away the gryphon wouldn't have been able to find him. If the gryphon sees him, but he's not around anymore, I dunno what other possiblity there could be than the bad one.
Reminds me of that anecdote of the woman whose got her husband killed by a guy in the other kingdom that wanted to marry her.
She had a son with her previous husband and didn't want him dead so, to protect him:
She became a vicious general and literally eliminated that other kingdom from existence. Using pidgeons with molotov cocktails to burn the last village down after they asked her to spare them.
