Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Rock and Rong

"I won’t forget about you. That’s just impossible," Rock affirmed. "Ah-Rong, I... I know it’s difficult to control ourselves, especially after knowing that we are fated. But I don’t want to make you a fugitive like me."

"Then, at least give me a time limit. How long do I have to wait until you take me out of this castle?"

"Give me a month," Rock answered impulsively. Truthfully, he didn’t have a plan yet, but his fated mate kept pressuring him, so he felt obligated to give her an answer to prove himself as a responsible mate. "I will find a way out of this situation in a month. I probably will bring you somewhere far, but I promise that you will be well protected and well fed."

"But... I don’t know if I can provide you with these..." Rock said as his eyes observed around the room. "I can’t give you this luxury for now, but I promise to give us a good den until I can make a better home for us."

Long Xiurong also didn’t know if her decision was correct. She simply followed her heart, the heart of a maiden in love.

Thus, Long Xiurong walked towards Rock and rested her head on his chest, "You can always keep me warm, right? So take me out of this golden cage. When I first came here, I thought I’d eventually be loved by someone in my life. I’m not just a tool to gain political power. But I was wrong, and was kept as nothing but a decoration here."

"Please save me, Rock Silverfang, Ah-Rock, husband..." Long Xiurong didn’t want to sound desperate, but she was at her wit’s end. She dreaded having to stay in this castle all by herself.

True, she was treated very well, and Queen Swan was exceptionally kind towards her. However, she longed to be with a man whom she loved and who loved her back. She wanted to be wanted by at least someone in this world.

Long Xiurong’s plea only exacerbated the Rock’s heartache.

He already felt guilty for leaving his fated mate alone in this castle, but now he felt obligated to increase his effort. He knew this was for the best since he didn’t want Long Xiurong to face any hardship.

Rock kissed Long Xiurong’s head and whispered, "I promise to take you with me, Ah-Rong."

They spent at least an hour embracing each other before Rock finally decided to write a letter to his dearest Princess. He wanted to tell her that he had found his fated mate, and being separated for too long gave him such a bad heartache that he couldn’t endure it.

He wanted his Princess to know that it would be difficult for him to come again after taking Long Xiurong with him, but he promised to visit frequently so he could check on the Princess.

After he was done writing the letter, he gave it to Long Xiurong and said, "Ah-Rong, make sure to give this to Princess Swan as soon as possible. I hope to get an answer from her. I will return in four days."

Long Xiurong nodded. She held the letter on her bosom and then tiptoed to kiss Rock’s lips.

"Four days. I hope I can see you again in four days."

It took Rock a while to recover from her kiss. He reluctantly walked towards the window and took a good look over his fated mate for the last time, "I will see you again in four days, my Ah-Rong."
