Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Before The Coldest Night (I)

The morning before the coldest night finally arrived. The temperature around the castle was bone-chilling for those with thin fur, such as the cow and lizard beastmen, and most importantly, for the humans.

After suffering a humiliating rejection, Long Xiurong decided to lock herself in her room. She refused any invitation from either Lady Jade or Princess Swan. It was also more convenient that way because the coldness was truly unbearable for humans.

Meanwhile, Swan was inside her room. She sat in her wheelchair, directly facing the fireplace because her leg was aching badly in this temperature. The cream given by Matoa to numb the pain didn’t work either, so she was forced to endure the pain while trying not to show any discomfort in front of Gale.

After all, she would have to leave with Gale to the cave that evening, so she couldn’t appear weak no matter what.

Myra and Maya were busy going in and out of the room trying to fetch as many thick blankets as possible since the cave would be too cold for their Princess. They glanced at Princess Swan who was shaking even though she sat in front of the fireplace.

They looked at each other, and Maya asked, "Princess, are you sure you want to go with His Majesty? The cave is in the southeast and even though they already picked a warmer cave, it would still be too cold for you."

"Yes, Princess. I’m sure that His Majesty will understand if you can’t come. Your health and safety will always be the utmost priority!" Myra added.

Swan looked over her shoulder and smiled at them, "I will go with him. Don’t tell my husband that I cannot handle the cold. Just tell him that I’m in good health, and will go whenever he’s ready. Understood?"

The cat maids were worried, but they also felt helpless because Princess Swan’s decision was already firm.

They had no choice but to follow her instructions and busied themselves with the preparation.

Meanwhile, on the castle grounds, Gale was busy supervising the preparation needed for their stay. It included food, blankets, logs for at least two big bonfires for the whole night, and most importantly, lots and lots of silver chains to chain him from neck to toe.

Those giant chains looked intimidating, but Gale was worried because he felt like they were easy to break.

"Can’t you find a stronger chain in the dungeon?" Gale asked Blaze.

"No, Your Majesty. This is already the strongest we could find," Blaze replied. "Half of them are newly commissioned, so they are of the best quality possible. I will also make sure to put weights around your legs later to slow you down, in case you lose your mind again." _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

Gale scoffed, "Those things won’t work on me, but I praise your effort. Make sure to have everything ready for my wife as well. She can’t bear the cold."

"Understood, Your Majesty."
