Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Crippled and Barren

"And what makes you think Princess Swan cannot give him babies?" Long Xiurong asked. "I’m sure that Princess Swan will get pregnant sooner or later. It’s only a matter of time."

"I’m not so sure about that, Milady. They have been mating religiously for almost a year, and nothing has happened yet. I’ve heard a rumor that Princess Swan is barren!"

"Can you stop with your baseless gossip?" Long Xiurong rolled her eyes. She liked to listen to gossip, because it could be a powerful tool, be it to eliminate enemies or negotiate in a harem. But the gossip coming from Alice’s mouth was getting ridiculous, "You can’t accuse her of being barren just because Princess Swan hasn’t been pregnant for less than a year. Sometimes, it takes a long time for a woman to get pregnant. My mother got pregnant two years after she entered the harem."

"I-It’s not a baseless gossip, Milady! We heard it from the most trusted source!" Alice insisted. "His Majesty brought Matoa, the old doctor who saved his life back then, and he was tasked to heal Princess Swan’s deformed leg and from any other illness that stopped her from getting pregnant. Guess what? He cannot heal both!"

Long Xiurong’s heart skipped a beat.

"Wait, is that real? That’s not just another stupid gossip, right?"

"It’s real! You can ask other servants, and they will say the same thing!" Alice affirmed. "Princess Swan is permanently crippled, and she is also infertile."

"That’s... unfortunate..." Long Xiurong remembered how Princess Swan looked so sincere in her love for His Majesty. It made her wonder if she acted that way because she knew she couldn’t give him offspring.

"Well, uhm... I’m not surprised, nor do I feel bad," Alice said. She lowered her voice as if what she was about to say next was very secretive. "I think it’s a punishment from the Moon Goddess. After all, Princess Swan has been using dark magic to charm His Majesty, so of course, it would anger the Moon Goddess, right? Her being crippled and barren is a befitting punishment, Milady."

"You are being unnecessarily cruel to a woman who cannot bear a child," Long Xiurong scolded. "Do you know how painful it must be for her?"

"I-I would feel bad if it’s you or Lady Jade who cannot give His Majesty an offspring. But I would never feel bad for a witch who has been hurting His Majesty for a long time," Alice admitted honestly. "I just want the best for His Majesty, and I think you are the best, Milady!"

Long Xiurong who had been adamant about her belief that Swan and Gale were inseparable began to waver.

She had lost hope, but hearing what Alice said made her think that she might have another chance. She probably couldn’t become the Beast King’s lover, but she could become the bearer of his offspring.

He might not love her, but if she were to be the mother of his cubs, wouldn’t that mean she would become a Queen or some sort? The last time she checked, the Beast King still didn’t have a Queen or even a consort.
