Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: I understand my position

"Gale!" Swan raised her voice, but Gale didn’t want to tiptoe around this problem.

"What? I made it clear from the beginning that YOU are my only wife. I never intend to get another one, and never will," Gale stated loud and clear. "I already told Jade this would be the last time she ever pulled this kind of stunt again. If she dares to bring another bride into the kingdom, then I will forbid her to ever return to the kingdom."

"But, Long Xiurong is—"

"It’s okay, Princess," Long Xiurong interrupted, as she didn’t want them to fight over her status. "I understand my position. The Beast King has made it clear, and I have no intention to challenge him."

Long Xiurong shifted her gaze at the majestic Beast King and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Worry not, I shall never disturb your peace with Princess Swan. But if it’s possible, please allow me to find my soulmate in this kingdom, maybe I will find him... eventually."

"Hm, you can do whatever. I don’t mind if you marry one of my underlings as well. Just tell me if you need a wedding ceremony or some sort since I know that the Eastern Long Dynasty is very strict with tradition," Gale replied.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I shall return to enjoy the banquet. Please enjoy the banquet as well, since this celebration is for the two of you."

Long Xiurong finally left them alone, and Swan was distressed while staring at Long Xiurong’s back.

She glared at her husband, though Gale didn’t seem to care at all.

"Why are you so mean to her? She has been nothing but kind and cooperative with me." Swan sulked.

"Be honest with me, do you want me to go and mark her? Do you want me to spend the night with her?" Gale asked bluntly, and Swan was caught off guard.

She stammered for a few seconds, and shook her head weakly in the end, "I’m sorry. I just feel bad for her. She’s in a difficult situation right now, since she cannot leave the castle. She’s trapped in here with no one to care for her."

"You care enough for her. You’re the only reason I haven’t kicked her out yet," Gale replied. "So don’t feel sad for her. I’ve given her all the best amenities the castle has, and I also allow her to find her own happiness if she ever finds one. Maybe she will marry another werewolf. We have plenty of wolf beastmen in the kingdom anyway."

"Mm... I do hope that Lady Long will find love someday," Swan muttered while staring at Long Xiurong’s lonely back. "I know how it feels to be trapped in a castle, unloved by anyone for a long time..."

Swan might’ve been biased, but she didn’t want Long Xiurong to despair like she was back in the Holy Achate Palace.

She didn’t want Long Xiurong to feel ugly, inferior, and useless just because nobody supported her.
