Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: You need to eat

Long Xiurong was fiddling with her fingers as she sat inside her room. She anxiously waited for an answer from Princess Swan about having tea together.

The last day of the banquet was over, and she had no more reason to keep eating in the banquet and keep herself full for the entire day to avoid eating anything poisonous served by that bunny maid.

She had the mammoth tusk necklace in her pocket, and Rock’s letter in another pocket as she was ready to tell Princess Swan about everything.

’Come on, Princess. Please accept my invitation. I need to get rid of that bunny maid as soon as possible, and I also need to eat!’ Long Xiurong prayed as she got increasingly anxious.

The door was finally knocked from outside. Long Xiurong thought it was the cat maids, bringing her answer from Princess Swan.

To her disappointment, it turned out to be that bunny maid, Alice, who walked in with her fake smile while carrying a breakfast tray.

"Good morning, Milady. I’m here with your breakfast. Since there is no banquet anymore, I assume you would need to eat by now," Alice said with a mysterious grin. "It’s very cold outside, so I’ve prepared a hearty meal for you, Milady."

Long Xiurong stared at the food on the table. It was all warm and the scent was inviting, but she knew damn well not to trust this bunny maid.

"Thanks," Long Xiurong said with zero enthusiasm. "You can leave now."

Alice maintained her smile as she stayed in the same position, standing right next to the table while looking at Long Xiurong.

Long Xiurong started to feel nervous, "Why are you still here? I told you to leave."

"I’m sorry, Milady, but I cannot do that," Alice replied.

"And why not?"

"Because I want to make sure that you eat your breakfast, Milady. You’ve been eating nothing but a banquet feast for the past week. It’s not good for your digestive system, so I prepare this meal to maintain your health," Alice replied. "So you could live long."

Long Xiurong realized what Alice was up to.

She must’ve suspected that Long Xiurong already knew about the poison, so she wanted to make sure that Long Xiurong would take a bite and fall ill.

Being stared down like this, it was hard for Long Xiurong to refuse or it would confirm Alice’s suspicion that Long Xiurong already knew everything.

Long Xiurong bit her lip. She was nervous because one second felt like an eternity for her. She knew what was on Alice’s mind, so she decided to do nothing while staring at the views from the window.
