Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Frozen Lake, Frozen Heart

Long Xiurong gazed at Swan’s belly and felt even more guilty, knowing that she might have been the cause of the death of a mother and her baby.

She was a practical and nonchalant lady. Most of the time, she didn’t really care about the well-being of others, as long as she wasn’t hurt or hurting others.

Someone could even call her selfish, and Long Xiurong would agree.

But not this time.

She was fully aware that it was her fault for being careless.

"Gale might be angry at you, but if I protect you with all my might, he might let you leave the castle without hunting you down. You should run away now, though. We don’t know if Gale might explode in rage and kill anyone on sight before he calms down," Swan suggested. "Though, I doubt that. He was very gentle to me, even during his worst rut on the coldest night."

"Then how about you? Will you just accept your death? Rock must’ve directly mentioned you many times in that letter!" Long Xiurong insisted. "Swan, please... let’s just run away. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life if I leave you to die here."

"It is my choice, so you don’t need to feel guilty. We don’t have much time left. Let me call the cat maids first," Swan said.

Long Xiurong clenched her fists. She knew she had to run and it would be a stupid decision not to, but...

"I will stay," Long Xiurong stated firmly.

Swan’s eyes widened, "And why would you do that? We don’t have time to argue, Lady Long."

"I will stay," Long Xiurong repeated. "I don’t think it’s fair for you to bear all the burden of the sin, especially when I am an active participant."

"This is not the time to play brave..."

"I am scared, Your Majesty. But I am not going to run away like a coward while you are trying to protect me," Long Xiurong said. "I will stay, and I will admit my mistake."

"But your life with Rock..."

"If I die today, then I guess Rock and I are not meant to be together. I absolutely will NOT leave you alone."

...

"You can go back to your room, Lady Long. If you change your mind, you can always tell your attendant to deliver your message to the cat maids. I’ll make sure the cat maids prepare everything for your escape," Swan relented.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I bid you goodbye, as this might be our last meeting," Long Xiurong lowered her head, put her hands in front of her bosom, and bent her knees. She was doing the official greeting for the noble female from the Eastern Long Dynasty. "May the Goddess protect you."

Swan stared at Long Xiurong as she left the room, and murmured, "May the goddess protect us, Lady Long..."
