Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Jade’s Trial (I)

Swan told Gale everything that happened in the castle while he was away. She also mentioned the gray mammoth tusk, a unique item that could detect any poison.

Gale immediately interrupted her story when she mentioned that item, "Hold on, how could Long Xiurong have a gray mammoth tusk? It comes from a gray mammoth in the north continent, and they are very rare."

"Y-you know about the animals in the north continent?" Swan asked in disbelief.

"Of course. I went to the north continent once to see if it’s a place worth settling down, only to find out it’s mostly barren, frozen tundra, so there’s no point in conquering it," Gale said. "So, how could that woman have access to such a unique item?"

Swan gulped. It would be stupid of her to reveal that it was a gift from Rock. Hence, she decided to lie, "S-she told me that it was a gift from her father, the Emperor of Eastern Long Dynasty. Assassination by using poison is very common in the East, so he gave her that unique item to protect her from any poisoning attempt here."

"Is that so?" Gale frowned. He doubted that explanation for a moment because he thought it was almost impossible for the Eastern Long Dynasty to go on a long journey to the north continent just to harvest the tusk of a dead gray mammoth.

He knew how rare the mammoth was, and selling the tusk was a stupid move as it was too great in value compared to gold or gems.

Nevertheless, he decided to believe in his wife, knowing that Swan would never harm him.

Gale felt indescribable rage after hearing the full story from his wife. It was like burning coal was stuck in his chest, and it was so painful that he wanted to turn into his giant wolf form and go on a rampage.

Of course, he didn’t show any of this in front of his wife, knowing that Swan would be scared.

Gale took a deep breath and said in a low, but extremely threatening voice to the cat maids outside, "Bring that maid to the throne room. Jade should arrive soon, so we can bring judgment to them together."

Jade finally arrived at the castle a few hours after Gale. She might look young on the outside, but she was still an old woman inside, so she had to take breaks here and there just to make sure that she wouldn’t return to the castle half-dead from exhaustion.

She walked through the castle grounds, heading directly to the castle as she wanted to take a hot bath after a long day traveling through the cold forest.

Yet, the moment she entered the castle, two beastman guards suddenly stopped her and said, "Milady, you’ve been summoned by His Majesty to the throne room."
