Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: I want to be Swan

"You mean you want to be Swan, right?" Madam Harsetti asked, and Aria nodded.

"Back when we were young, I was well-loved. Everyone catered to my needs, and I could do anything I wanted without a burden. I am now a failure, but that cripple, Swan... she has an amazing life instead," Aria glanced at her mother’s corpse before returning her gaze to Madam Harsetti. "So I want to be like her—No, I want to BE her."

"Unfortunately, you cannot do that, little witch," Madam Harsetti replied. "I can change your appearance to anyone but her, because she has already ascended to be an angel. A dark witch cannot impersonate an angel or goddess, because we lack the radiant aura that they have."

"Thought so," Aria scoffed. She leaned on the tree that crushed her mother. She lowered her head and muttered, "I don’t know what’s the point, Madam. No matter how much I try, Swan will always be better than me. She is prettier, has a great partner, has a beautiful castle all for herself, and is the daughter of the Sun Goddess. I don’t know what’s the point of trying when she is always ahead of me."

"Aww, don’t be so depressed. The witch before you was very weak, but she succeeded in trapping the Saintess at that time until she was kidnapped and raped by your late father. Though she has no unique spells whatsoever, she still gets a great reward for what she did. But you... you are one of—if not THE ultimate witch who can bear all of my power. You have a massive talent in witchcraft that will go wasted if you don’t do anything with it."

"Then, what should I do, Madam? All I want is to be her. I want to be Swan, and I want her life," Aria stated. "I’m tired of constant failure."

Madam Harsetti smiled mysteriously and said, "You cannot be her, but you can have what she has."

Aria turned her head, waiting for Madam Harsetti to continue her sentence.

"I know you are in love with the Beast King, and let me tell you something. The Beast King might be unbeatable when he is at his best, but he’s currently staying in the Sacred Selene Lake, sleeping as he spends his days waiting for Swan to come. His will has been greatly weakened, and I don’t think he will fight back if you attack him now. He might try to defend himself, but it would soon dawn on him that everything is useless without Swan by his side, and gives up."

"But his heart will still be with Swan even if I defeat him..." Aria lamented.

"You don’t need to care about that. Even if his heart is not for you, he will be 100% obedient to your command," Madam Harsetti said. "Gale might be the powerful Beast King, but he is still a beastman. Their deep-rooted culture will always make them bow down to the strongest. If you become the strongest and beat him, you can have everything that Swan has; her husband, the castle, the people, and most importantly, you might get pregnant with his offspring."

"C-can I be pregnant with his offspring now? Isn’t he supposedly only able to impregnate his fated mate?"

"Pffth—that’s because he was cursed by the Moon Goddess. But you witnessed it yourself, right? He kissed the angel, his fated mate, and broke his curse. His gaze won’t kill indiscriminately anymore unless he wants to intentionally kill people with it. He would no longer feel constant pain around his body, and he could impregnate other women who aren’t his fated mate," Madam Harsetti chuckled. "I am sure you can find a way to seduce him."

Aria was finally tempted by the idea.
