Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: You Cannot Escape Your Fate

Swan slowly regained most of her consciousness after Gale left. She slowly got up and looked around the sheet that had been stained with blood.

So she called the cat maids with her weak voice.

To her surprise, Myra and Maya entered the room immediately, so they must’ve heard about the conversation between Gale and Swan just now.

Swan realized that the cat maids were dodging her eyes as she said, "Please help me change the sheet, and uhm... please get me another dress. I will go to the bathroom to wash my face. There was blood on my face, right?"

"Y-yes, Princess..."

Swan didn’t want to make them even more distressed, knowing that they must’ve been scared hearing the conversation just now.

She grabbed her crutches and walked to the bathroom.

Swan stared at her reflection and saw the bloodstain on her lips, cheeks, and chin. There were also some on her bosom.

She washed them all with cold water and went out.

She saw the sheet had been replaced with a clean one. There was also a new dress that had been prepared for her.

Myra and Maya were kneeling next to the bed, but they kept their heads low as they wished their Princess would just tell them to leave.

Swan sat on the bed and asked weakly, "Did you two hear everything?"

"... yes, Princess."

"We’re sorry. But we have always been attending you outside, and we have sensitive hearing. We didn’t mean to eavesdrop."

"It’s alright," Swan smiled. "But I want to know if you two have ever heard about the King’s curse."

Myra and Maya’s body stiffened. They shook their heads and replied, "We don’t know anything, Princess."

"... okay then. Don’t worry, His Majesty is alright. Those aren’t his blood."

"We know. His Majesty is unchallenged. There is no way for him to lose."

Swan was relieved that the beastmen had such a strong faith in their king. She didn’t want them to think that Gale was weak because it might lead to another rebellion and his death.

"You may leave," Swan said, and the cat maids scurried out of the room.

Swan lay on her bed once more, but her eyes were staring at the open window. She saw the full moon and murmured, "But I don’t mind dying for you, Gale. You are a king, and I’m just... Swan."
