Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Coldest Night (II)

"Of course, it’s almost like a tradition every year at this point," Gale answered as he put Swan on the bedding. He put a blanket over her to make her warmer, and noticed the worry in her eyes, "Why? Are you sad that I have to be chained?"

Swan nodded weakly, "You are not a mindless beast, nor a prisoner of war. Why do you have to be chained? You even need to be weighed by steel balls..."

"I will become a mindless beast during my once-a-year rut, Swan. Those chains are necessary to slow me down, at least to buy you enough time to escape in case I cannot control myself," Gale smiled. He kissed Swan on the cheek and added, "Don’t make that face. I will be fine."

Gale walked towards the chains and kneeled on the ground before he got surrounded by the other beastmen soldiers who’d chained him.

"Wait, I need that medicine first," Gale said as he remembered Jade’s special brewed tea, which could knock him out cold for a few hours. "Give me that purple stuff. It’ll help."

"Purple stuff?" Swan had a bad feeling about whatever medicine Gale would have to drink. She wanted to see and if possible, used her strange power to check if it was safe to drink or not.

But a bunny maid suddenly appeared right in front of her and blocked her view, "Princess, do you want me to prepare the tea for you? It’s freezing here, so I suggest you drink tea first."

Swan looked up and frowned when she saw the bunny maid, "Aren’t you Lady Long’s attendant?"

"Yes, Princess. My name is Alice. I was brought here to serve you before His Majesty starts his rut," Alice replied with a friendly smile.

"R-really? Isn’t it dangerous for you? It’s too cold, right?"

"It’s fine, Princess. I’m a beastman—specifically, a snow hare beastman. I am pretty much immune to colds," Alice said.

"I see..." Swan tried to tilt her head to check on Gale and whatever he was drinking, but Alice sneakily moved a little to block her view.

"I will prepare the tea for you, Princess," Alice smiled as she poured the tea slowly. Once she was done, she excused herself and said, "Have a nice night with His Majesty, Princess. I believe His Majesty will treat you well."

Swan didn’t pay the bunny maid any more attention. She wanted to check on her husband. Unfortunately, the moment she returned her gaze at Gale, he already drunk everything and tossed the empty bottle to the side.

Swan was worried, but since Gale had drunk it, all she could do was hope that it wouldn’t make things even harder for him tonight.

"Go chain me now. We don’t have much time before midnight," Gale ordered, as he wiped the remaining purple liquid at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The beastmen soldiers began to put chain after chain around the Beast King’s body until almost every joint was bound by a chain or two.

Once the beastmen soldiers finished their job, Blaze Silverfang said, "Your Majesty, the other beastmen will be guarding far from the cave, as they would lose their strength once you release your aura. I will be guarding outside of the cave, in case something happens tonight," Blaze glanced at Princess Swan and added, "Please don’t hesitate to scream if you feel scared, Princess. It is very important, as His Majesty can turn very dangerous soon enough." _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}
