Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Long Xiurong’s One and Only Wish

Long Xiurong glanced at the bunny maid who looked meek, then at the ginger tea that she brought for her. She found it strange that she was so eager to serve her.

Previously, she would’ve only done something when Long Xiurong told her to do as Alice didn’t seem to be willing to serve her.

However, she paid Alice’s attitude no mind. If this bunny maid was no longer cooperative, she could’ve just asked Princess Swan to replace Alice with someone else.

"Who told you to bring me ginger tea? I’m not thirsty, and not in the mood for tea right now," Long Xiurong said harshly. "You can drink it yourself. I will tell you if I need something later."

Alice’s lips twitched. The hand that she used to hold the cup of ginger tea started shaking as she was so angry at this useless bitch right now.

There was no way she could drink this ginger tea, it was already laced with poison! Besides, Alice thought that she was too important to die prematurely. She wanted that crippled Swan to die first before she could rest in peace.

"I-I’m sorry if I offend you, Milady. I just want to serve you well..." Alice apologized meekly despite the boiling anger in her heart.

Long Xiurong stared at the pitiful bunny maid, and she felt a little guilty.

She might not think highly of this bunny maid, but that didn’t mean she was cruel enough to bully a servant.

"Just drink that ginger tea if you want it, or toss it away. You can prepare my dinner after today’s celebration ends," Long Xiurong’s tone softened. She had been informed that this festival was meant to continue for the next five days. They would stop after the sun had set because it would be too cold, and start the banquet again by the next morning when the sun was up and warm. "You can also serve me that ginger tea tomorrow morning before the second day of the banquet starts. Understand?"

"Understood, Milady," Alice nodded obediently. She was relieved that her meek and pitiful acting still worked against Long Xiurong. Once given permission, she could’ve laced Long Xiurong’s evening and morning tea with the poison. "Then, I will join the other servants. Please enjoy the banquet, Milady."

Alice tossed the ginger tea under a tree at the corner of the castle ground. She gritted her teeth knowing that she had failed Lady Jade and wasted a drop of the precious poison.

"It seems that you failed to poison her just now," Jade pointed out the obvious as she hid behind the tree.

"Ah, Milady, I-I don’t know that you’re here!"

"Lower your voice, I don’t want to draw attention," Jade warned, and Alice zipped her lips instantly. Jade looked around, and after making sure that everyone was busy in their own world, she said, "The poison in your hand is extremely precious, I only made a small batch of it. Do it right after this, Long Xiurong will be our test subject, understood?"
