It had been a long time since Shina had heard the name Xi Wan.
Hearing Hiro suddenly mention it, her expression froze for a moment. Her eyes flickered, and she looked at Hiro in surprise. "You... know Xi Wan?"
"Not really. I've seen him, but his scent is on you. It's very strong." Hiro's gaze was dark as he studied Shina.
Remi and Ogre couldn't help but look at Shina as well.
Shina fell silent for a moment before forcing a bitter smile. "He... was my Beast Husband, but we dissolved our bond a long time ago."
"He abandoned me during a Mutant Beast Tide, which led to the tragic deaths of my other two Beast Husbands. I was injured myself. I have no need for a coward like him, so I ended our bond."
Listening to Shina's story, Remi and Ogre felt an even deeper sense of pity and affection for her. Remi stepped in front of her, his expression resolute as he faced Hiro. "City Lord, if you've come here for Doris, please don't make things difficult for Shina. She doesn't know anything."
