Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Beta in a Rut (I)

Rock walked through the corridor to the Princess’s room in a not-so-great mood.

He felt complicated after talking with Lady Jade, who had poisoned his mind and made him question his feelings for the Princess.

Of course, Rock wasn’t stupid enough to try to touch her. Princess Swan was his Alpha’s mate. He respected and revered Gale so much that it was simply impossible for him to have crazy ideas regarding Gale’s mate.

At the same time, it also bothered him that Lady Jade kept on telling him that he was fascinated by Swan’s beauty.

’Am I really fascinated? She is beautiful, but surely I’m not that easy to like someone just because she’s a beauty, right?’ Rock asked himself but found no answer to his question. The more he pondered about it, the more confused he became.

He kept contemplating this until he stopped in front of Princess Swan’s bedroom, where the cat maids were standing outside, waiting for order.

Myra and Maya bowed at Rock and stated, "You are a bit late. The Princess has been waiting."

"Haha, yeah, sorry about that," Rock resumed his energetic self. He knew these two cat maids and anyone who wasn’t a soldier didn’t respect him as much. In their mind, only His Majesty deserved their respect.

He didn’t care much. It was just a part of their culture to only respect the strongest, and the rest were more or less equal.

Myra and Maya opened the door for him, and Rock saw Princess Swan, still wearing the same dress that showed her cleavage, sitting in the wheelchair.

Swan turned her head and smiled at Rock, "Thank you for coming."

Rock held his breath. He felt nervous for some reason, and the Princess’ voice didn’t help him.

Princess Swan had a soft voice. Whenever she spoke, it felt like a feather was tickling his heart. She was timid and often stammered or spoke in a barely audible voice, even for beastmen who had sharp hearing.

He didn’t pay much attention other than the fact that she sounded pleasant before, but now that his heart was confused, he found himself strangely excited to hear her talk.

’Is this what His Majesty feels whenever he’s with the Princess? No wonder he specifically asked me to protect her,’ Rock thought. He masked all of his strange nervousness with his big smile and replied, "Sorry for being late, Princess. Worry not, I’ve been informed that His Majesty is still on his way, so it’ll take him a while to reach the castle."

"T-That’s good," Swan’s cheeks turned reddish as she was embarrassed at her own thoughts. "I will be in your care..."
