Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Long Xiurong’s Retaliation

"Alright. We’ve spent way too much time here. Swan’s body is trembling under her blanket," Gale said. "We will head back to our room."

Gale turned his head towards Blaze and ordered, "Start preparing everything for the year-end festival as I’ve passed the rut without killing anyone. The festival should start next week at least."

"I can give a few suggestions. The Holy Achate always has a big celebration every year-end. We can decorate the castle and the streets," Swan volunteered.

"And listen to what Princess Swan has to say, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Blaze kneeled in response to the order.

Gale and Swan made their way out of the castle grounds into the main hall, where they disappeared once they walked through long corridors heading to their room at the top of a tower, followed by the cat maids as their attendants.

Everyone held their breaths until the Beast King and Princess Swan were out of the pictures, and once they were gone, the servants immediately gossiped, and the soldiers were busy chanting in euphoria.

However, the two figures were in complete silence as they were at odds against each other. The air surrounding them was tense.

"Well, I suppose I don’t have anything to say anymore," Long Xiurong broke the silence between them. "I’m so glad His Majesty has made it clear that he has no romantic feelings for you. At least that will kick you down a notch, right, Milady?"

"What do you want, Long Xiurong?" Jade asked while keeping her side-glare. "Why are you doing this to me? Don’t you realize we need her out of the picture if you ever want to have a chance with Gale?"

"A chance with the Beast King?" Long Xiurong scoffed. She crossed her arms and said, "Do I even have the chance to begin with? He is already deeply in love with Princess Swan. Why should I fight a losing game? More importantly, why should I fight with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Long Xiurong took a step toward Lady Jade and stated, "You are the losing side in this castle, Milady. Why should I stick with you knowing that you will lose? We—women from the Eastern Long Dynasty—prefer to win in every game we play. So I’m not going to be by your side anymore."

"You—!" Jade felt like she could explode with anger now.

First, it was Swan who miraculously survived the coldest night with beastly Gale.

Second, Gale’s declaration in front of everyone that he wasn’t in love with her, even though they had been together for so long.
