Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Imprisonment (II)

Gale strode through the long corridor towards Long Xiurong’s room with somewhat unsteady steps.

Of course, anyone who saw the Beast King right now, wouldn’t think there was anything wrong with him. He was still majestic, and intimidating. Even his ’unsteady’ step still looked firm for them.

Unfortunately, only Gale knew how bad the heartbreak he was currently experiencing. He kept halting his step for one second, before continuing his stride to Long Xiurong’s room.

He kept hesitating, and his heart was screaming, telling him that he shouldn’t punish his beloved so harshly. He shouldn’t have said what he said to her, and he should’ve just forgiven her for the entire ordeal.

Yet, his mind and pride told him that he was doing the right thing. If he continued being lenient to Swan, she would take it for granted and think that he was an easy man who wouldn’t care even when he was being betrayed repeatedly.

’This is for the best. She needs to understand that I, too, have my limits.’

Gale kicked the door open and saw Long Xiurong sitting behind the study desk.

Long Xiurong turned her head and stood up. She politely bowed to the Beast King as if nothing happened, but her next word confirmed her involvement.

"Your Majesty, I assume that you’ve read the letter that Rock Silverfang wrote," Long Xiurong said as she resigned to her fate. She was scared of death, just like any normal human, but when she imagined Swan protecting her while risking her life and her baby, Long Xiurong realized that she had to be brave even in the face of death.

"Yes, I’ve read that letter," Gale replied emotionlessly. "And you are just as guilty as that traitorous bastard, Long Xiurong."

"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. You can execute me for treason," Long Xiurong replied calmly. "But I have one—no, two requests."

"And what are those?"

"First, I want you to hand me back the gray mammoth tusk necklace. It was a keepsake given to me by Rock. If you read the letter, then you must’ve known that he is my fated mate. I want to die while holding an item that reminds me of him," Long Xiurong said. "Second, I beg you to please spare Queen Swan and her baby. It was me who allowed Rock Silverfang to enter the castle through my window at first, and I agreed to his request to be the messenger between him and Queen Swan. She knew nothing about him until I came to her with a letter from Rock."
