Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Lady Jade’s Special Tea (I)

Days passed, and the mood around the castle was grim. Everyone became tense as they had to prepare themselves, in case they would die in the hands of their King since he would start rampaging for the whole night—or even days.

Usually, during the last week before the coldest night, the Beast King would be in a terrible mood. He would yell at anyone who dared to get in his way, even if it was just a servant who cleaned the corridor.

He would also try to exhaust his energy by sparring 1 vs 1000 against his soldiers, only for them to get badly beaten while he didn’t get a single scratch.

However, the said King was in a good mood these days. He did his duty in the throne room as usual, and didn’t seem to worry much about his incoming rut, which was strange since everyone remembered how stressed he was last year.

Nevertheless, they accepted this as a good sign, and Blaze Silverfang, as the unofficial beta after Rock Silverfang defected, was the one in charge of preparing everything before the rut came.

Blaze kneeled in front of the Beast King, who sat on his majestic throne, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want me to prepare the chains in your room?"

"No, I’ll stay in a cave far from the castle. I’ve told you before, right? You should have one prepared. You know I always destroy any cave that I went into during my rut."

Blaze nodded as he had been accompanying Rock to find the cave for the past three years. His Majesty would always turn into his giant wolf form and rampage through the land. A secluded cave was necessary to minimize damage and victims.

"I already have one prepared, Your Majesty. It’s in the southeast of the kingdom. It has a slightly warmer temperature than last year. I was just wondering if you would spend the coldest night in your room instead, because of..."

"Princess Swan?" Gale completed his sentence, and Blaze nodded. "Swan will come with me to the cave. But do prepare the chains. I want to be chained like usual in case I go out of control. It won’t stop me completely, but it should be able to hold me momentarily while you take my wife out of the cave and run away to safety."

"Isn’t it too risky, Your Majesty? Princess Swan is known to have a weak body. What if she cannot survive the cold inside the cave?"

"That’s why I told you to prepare all the possible heating you can put inside that cave. Set up two bonfires, enough blankets, and hot water. I want my wife to be safe while she’s accompanying me."

"Is it not better to leave her in the castle, Your Majesty? She’d be warm, and away from any danger that you possess," Blaze suggested.

"No, I cannot pass this year’s rut without her. She needs to be by my side no matter what," Gale insisted, and Blaze knew that was a death sentence for Princess Swan.

He heard about the rumors from the servants that Princess Swan was a witch who had charmed the Beast King with her dark spell. He thought of it as a stupid gossip at first, because he knew how much the kingdom had improved after Princess Swan replaced Lady Jade as the Beast King’s advisor.
