There was a deafening silence after Long Xiurong uttered her request. She regretted nothing as she knew it was her only chance to have a place in this castle.
Even so, she was still scared considering how the Beast King seemed unmoved even after she explained everything. frёewebnoѵēl.com
She felt small, and vulnerable in front of the majestic king, and lowered her head immediately.
"P-please give it some thought, Your Majesty. I am a healthy woman who comes from a royal family. My blood is pure enough to give you a strong cub," Long Xiurong added.
Gale was still quiet after a while before he asked, "Who told you that my wife is infertile?"
"P-pardon?"
"I said; Who told you that my wife is INFERTILE!?" Gale raised his voice, and Long Xiurong fell to the floor immediately. Her whole body trembled like she had a heart attack just now, and a strange aura engulfed the throne room the moment the Beast King yelled at her.
It became difficult for her to breathe, and her face started to turn blue.
Her sight began to blur, and she pleaded, "Y-Your... Majes... ty. I can’t... b-breathe..."
Gale bared his teeth as he snapped when he heard that.
It was such a sensitive topic to Swan because even though Matoa said that none of them were infertile, she still felt terrible for being unable to get pregnant.
Gale suppressed his aura once he saw that Long Xiurong was on the verge of losing consciousness.
Long Xiurong coughed a few times and took a while to recover.
"Get up and tell me who dares to tell you that lie?" Gale demanded. "I will chop that bastard’s head. No, I will rip whoever dares to spread such a rumor in this castle to pieces. So they will know not to mess with MY WIFE!!"
Long Xiurong never expected the Beast King to get so mad. She thought that he already knew about the rumor and had accepted that his wife was barren.
Her Emperor Father also had a favorite concubine who got barren after getting poisoned, but his love for her stayed the same.
If Long Xiurong told the Beast King about Alice, the bunny maid would be executed, and she would no longer have anyone who could provide her with all sorts of information. She would have no idea regarding matters that happened around the castle as she had lost her only informant.
Thus, she decided to protect Alice instead, "I-I accidentally heard it when two servants were talking outside of my room. I don’t know who they are, nor do I know their faces, but I also heard it’s been a rumor that had been circulating in the kingdom for a while, that Princess Swan cannot bear you an heir, Your Majesty..."
Gale got even angrier when he heard that.
He hated rumors the most because he couldn’t do anything about it.
He could tell his subjects not to gossip about his wife, but he couldn’t keep checking on each one of them every time.
Thus, he was left with two choices;
Make Swan pregnant no matter what.
Or, tell everyone that Swan wasn’t his fated mate, that’s why she couldn’t bear him a cub.
