Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Chapter 237: A Change of Heart

Anastasia was even more surprised now. She knew her daughter quite well and knew that caring for the peasants was never part of her priority.

Aria seemed to detest those villagers the most as she saw them as dirty and uncultured.

"Did something happen to you? Are you sick?" Anastasia asked her daughter.

Aria pouted, "Why would you say that, Mom? I’m healthy. I just think that we need to help those villagers because it’s winter, and they must’ve been struggling to survive in this cold."

"I’m sorry, Aria. I’m just shocked since you have a sudden change of heart," Anastasia said. "But I’m happy that you have finally embraced our life here in this village. Those villagers will be really happy to eat meat, since they can barely afford bread, let alone meat and spices."

Aria squeezed tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "I’ve been reflecting on myself this whole time, Mom. I finally accepted my new life. I know I’m not a princess anymore, and I’ve been humbled after seeing the struggle of the peasants in this village. Maybe this is truly the time we let go of everything in the past and start anew, right, Mom?" _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Anastasia also wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, but hers were true tears, not fake ones.

She had been reflecting on her situation as well, and the more she lived in this solitary lifestyle in an isolated region of Holy Achate, the more she liked it.

She didn’t have the same luxury as before. She still had her jewelry which would fetch a high price, but her monthly income relied on the farmers instead.

She was nothing but a small landlord of a small farmland, and her money would only be enough to get by every month, paying a few servants, buying ingredients, and maintaining the old mansion they had.

Yet, she finally felt peace for the first time in her life. She could sleep at night without worrying about a single thing, and when she woke up, she wouldn’t get a headache over so many things she needed to handle.

All she did every morning was drink coffee while reading some books she purchased from the traveling merchant.

It was truly a life full of bliss.

However, she understood that it was difficult for Aria to accept this new life, so she never pressured her daughter to change her way of thinking. It was almost like a miracle to see Aria suddenly have a change of heart.

She didn’t know what caused Aria to lose her grudge over their current condition, but as a mother who had been yearning to make up for all the neglect ever since Aria was young, Anastasia should fully support Aria’s decision.

It’d be even better if Aria would start talking with the villagers as well, it would keep her grounded and humble.
