Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Gossip Bunny

Alice was caught off guard when she got yelled at. She looked at Lady Long with her mouth agape, "I-I don’t know what you’re talking about, Milady. I did nothing wrong!"

"You did nothing wrong? Hah! You are feeding me false information. I thought that Princess Swan is infertile, so I came to the throne room today to meet with His Majesty to offer myself, so I can be the mother of his cubs while he spends his time with Princess Swan," Long Xiurong spat out in frustration. "But do you know what I get? Humiliation! He told me that my scent was not as good as Princess Swan’s. He also told me that he would never get anyone pregnant if it’s not her."

"B-but that’s impossible because Princess Swan is..."

"She is not barren! None of them are barren. He said it’s something else that makes it difficult for them to have offspring!" Long Xiurong had never yelled at any of his attendants before. In the Eastern Long Dynasty, she was one of the most magnanimous princesses, and she was very soft-spoken.

It was the reason why she got picked to marry the Beast King, as the said Beast King was infamous for having a temper.

But she had been misled and humiliated this time, and the only one she could blame was this bunny who was feeding her this misleading information.

"You should know that His Majesty asked me who fed me this stupid gossip. I could’ve just told him that it was YOU, a bunny maid named Alice who did that." Long Xiurong narrowed his eyes, and Alice was instantly terrified as she knew it would be her death sentence. "But I didn’t tell him that. I protected you because I still see some use of you. You should be grateful because I just saved your life."

Alice was so terrified that her legs were shaking. To die in the hands of their Beast King was honorable, but if she was to be branded as a traitor before getting killed, then nobody—not even his tribe or family—would even dare to pick up her corpse after the execution. They would think of her as a lowly traitor who deserved to rot in the street.

"I-I’m sorry, Milady. I just want to let you know about things I heard from other servants. I didn’t mean to feed you false information," Alice shakily apologized.

Long Xiurong rolled her eyes. She felt a little guilty for snapping at her maid, which was very unsightly of her, but she was too upset to care about that right now.

Thus, rather than continuing her scolding, she simply waved her hand and said, "You can leave now. I need some time alone."

Alice bowed politely and scurried out of Lady Long’s room. Once she was out, Alice finally showed her anger.

’Why am I the one getting blamed for her stupidity? I never told her to go and meet with His Majesty like an idiot, right?’ Alice complained in her heart. ’Ugh, I take back my words. Lady Long is not suitable for His Majesty. She’s either stupid, or maybe she’s too far gone and has been hypnotized by Princess Swan until she has turned into an idiot.’

’If only Princess Aria is here. She is much smarter and prettier. She can definitely steal His Majesty’s attention, unlike Lady Long.’ Alice missed the beautiful Golden Princess from the Holy Achate. ’I have to tell Lady Jade about this. She is the only one I can trust right now.’
