Alice followed Lady Jade through a corridor that seemed to have no end until they stopped in front of her room.
The servants at the front opened the door, and they entered Lady Jade’s room together.
Alice stood stiffly while watching Lady Jade sat on her chair and crossed her legs.
"Come here," Jade beckoned while gesturing at a spot next to her chair. "Kneel."
Alice kneeled obediently as her Lady wished.
Jade looked at her without expression, silently raised her hand, and—
PA!
She slapped the bunny maid right on her face until Alice fell on the ground, grimacing in pain as a burning pain assaulted her cheek.
However, she silently endured it and kept her mouth shut. Slowly, she gathered herself and returned to her kneeling position.
"Phew, I feel better now," Jade sighed. She smiled at the bunny maid and said, "Sorry for that. I was just a little vexed about the whole thing, and since I cannot punish anyone right now, you will suffice. Besides, that’s also a punishment for failing the task."
"I understand, Milady," Alice replied while rubbing her cheek. "I deserve the slap. I was also disappointed in my own incapability to fulfill the mission."
"It’s good that you understand your shortcomings," Jade praised insincerely. "Now tell me what truly happened. There is no way Swan would’ve survived if Gale drank the purple drink that I made." freёwebnovel.com
"Princess Swan seems to have a suspicion about the drink you made, Milady. But I swiftly blocked her sight with my body until His Majesty drank everything. I thought it was a success because His Majesty went on a rut shortly after he got chained," Alice reported. "All of the soldiers—including me—were also suppressed by His Majesty’s aura. It was so powerful that I thought I would die, even though we were so far away from the cave."
"But then... his aura just disappeared, and nothing happened after that."
"Disappeared? How long did it last?"
"Um... about two to three hours, Milady."
"Three hours?! That aura only lasted for three hours?!" Jade exclaimed in disbelief. Usually, Gale would release his aura nonstop, and it would get stronger and stronger until he turned into his true castle-sized black wolf.
Combined with the rut potion that she made, he should’ve been rampaging for at least a week.
"Are you sure he drank everything?"
"I did! I even picked up the bottle to make sure that His Majesty drank your potion!" Alice firmly stated. "It was so strange because I’d been told that His Majesty would turn into his true wolf form during the coldest night, but he didn’t. In fact, he didn’t even leave the cave during his rut."
"He didn’t leave the cave?!"
