Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Tea Time with Lady Jade and Long Xiurong (II)

She heard the story about how Gale carried Swan in his arms around the castle, like showing off a treasure that he held dearly.

She heard about the many nights Gale and Swan spent mating and how their voices filled the castle.

She also heard about how Swan became the advisor while she was absent, even going as far as establishing a pearl trade that earned them so much gold, much more than Jade could ever do even after she had devoted her life to Gale.

She also heard how Swan was able to make a salary system, so all the soldiers were even more excited to train and train their offspring to take the mantle once they retired.

The Kingdom of Beastman was just a barebone kingdom when Jade left, but it had somehow transformed into a much more sophisticated kingdom, with many of the beastmen civilians already doing trades, offering services, et cetera.

Jade refused to believe that it was all Swan’s doing since that woman was stupid enough to let herself stay in Gale’s private lake with another man. She was nearly raped by Rock, and Jade’s plan should have been a success.

Unfortunately, something mysterious happened, and Swan miraculously survived that night at the lake.

’I heard from a few servants that Swan is a witch. If that rumor is true, then that explains everything about what happened that night. She must’ve used her witchcraft to subdue Rock, and then pretended as if she’s just a weakling in front of Gale to rouse his pity,’ Jade sneered. ’What a cunning witch.’

Knowing that she couldn’t seem to make this woman falter, Jade turned towards Long Xiurong and asked with an oppressive smile, "Lady Long, what do you think of Princess Swan of Holy Achate? Her late father dared to challenge the Beast King and once defeated, she was offered as the prize of victory."

"T-that is unfortunate, Milady," Long Xiurong said, but she didn’t dare to look Swan directly in the eyes. She stared at Lady Jade instead and added, "But it cannot be helped, right? At least she is used as an item for a peace treaty."

"An item, yes," Jade grinned as she turned towards Swan again. "It’s unfortunate, but let me tell you something, Princess. Gale didn’t like his gift at first, all he wanted was to keep you hostage so Holy Achate wouldn’t dare to rebel, but it seems that you have no use anymore as an item."

Swan smiled back at Lady Jade and replied, "And what’s the difference between me and Lady Long? We are both sent to be the Beast King’s brides to strengthen the bond between our kingdoms and the Kingdom of Beastmen. Considering that I’m not dead yet, I guess he doesn’t hate me as much now."

Swan should’ve stopped right there as she didn’t want to make the already-hostile Lady Jade even more hostile.

But she got angry when Jade dared to call her an ’item’.

Why? Because her love for Gale was real, and she could feel that Gale’s love for her was real as well.

She wasn’t a mere item for Gale, and that was the most important thing for her.
