Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: A Piece of Freedom (II)

Swan woke up after a cold gust of wind came from the window. She was sleeping naked because Gale ripped her dress off last night, so she tucked the blanket up to her shoulder.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t get more sleep because the cat maids were already knocking.

"Princess, can we enter now? We need to prepare your warm bath."

Swan rubbed her eyes and sat on the bed. She pulled the blanket to cover her body before allowing Myra and Maya to enter the room.

Myra and Maya knew there must have been something happening between Princess Swan and their King the previous night, and that’s why they came prepared with a new dress and medicine in case the Princess got hurt.

They were relieved when they saw Swan was unharmed, but to make sure, Myra entered the bathroom to prepare the warm bath while Maya stood next to the bed to ask, "Princess, are you hurt somewhere?"

"Hurt? Uhm..." Swan shook her head in confusion. "I’m fine..."

"Oh, Princess, I’m so relieved. You don’t understand how worried I was last night," Maya said.

"Worried? Why?"

"Because we thought that His Majesty was hurting you. Everyone in the castle was scared last night, thinking that His Majesty would go into a frenzy and attack everyone on sight," Maya said. Then, she quickly added, "B-but it’s fine. He is not dangerous at all, as long as you don’t upset him much."

Swan frowned. She knew that she had upset the king last night, but Gale didn’t hurt her at all.

"Does he become dangerous when he’s upset?" Swan asked.

"Well, nobody dares to anger him in this kingdom. But those who fought in a war with or against him said that His Majesty is vicious."

Swan could understand that. Though she had never been in any war, she had overheard many tales from the knights that all wars were cruel. Bloodshed and deaths were inevitable on the battlefield.

She was just wondering if Gale was equally cruel towards the common folks.

Unfortunately, she had no time to ask because Maya came out of the bathroom and said, "The bath is ready, Princess. Please take a bath while we put your breakfast on the table."

Swan nodded. She grabbed her crutches and then walked towards the bathroom.

Maya and Myra watched over her, and once the Princess entered the bathroom, they looked at each other in doubt, "She’s alright, it seems. No wound whatsoever."

"Does that mean all the roaring and yelling last night was just part of their play? I heard humans have many preferences. Maybe Princess Swan is letting our King know a few things."

Maya and Myra’s cheeks blushed as they had this strange thought of what was happening between the King and the Princess. They darted their eyes at the messy beds, and their cheeks turned even redder.
