Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Rock Escaped

"WHAT?!"

Swan woke up when she was startled by Gale’s loud voice. She opened her eyes and turned toward the door, where Gale was standing tall in front of the catmaids.

They looked frightened as they delivered the news, but they had to as it was important.

"Y-yes, Your Majesty. Rock Silverfang escaped from the dungeon," Maya said.

"How is that possible?! Where are the guards?!"

"T-they are outside of the dungeon, but they saw nobody coming out of the door," Myra replied. "T-the dungeon only has one exit, so nobody knows how Rock escaped..."

"USELESS!"

Maya and Myra’s bodies started trembling, and Gale spared no effort to suppress his aura. It was after Swan called his name that he quickly suppressed it so as not to harm her.

"Gale..."

Gale turned around and closed the door behind him. He walked towards the bed and sat at the edge, "Did you hear what they said just now?"

Swan nodded.

Gale stared at her with a suspicious gaze. Of course, he didn’t suspect her to help Rock to escape. Despite their fight last night, Gale knew that he was hugging her body the whole time, even her warmth lingered as he fell into a deep sleep.

However, there were so many strange things happening since last night that he couldn’t help to ask, "Since you already know that Rock has escaped, do you know something about his method of escaping?"

Swan shook her head, but she clutched the blanket as her heartbeat was racing. She had a very strange dream last night, where she met with a mysterious woman who claimed herself to be Swan’s mother, and then helped her to come and rescue Rock in the dungeon.

She dropped him off at the lake and then returned to Gale’s embrace. It was all the content of her sleep, so she thought it was all just a dream.

’What if it’s actually real? But how? I don’t have any magical power, nor do I ever learn how to use one,’ Swan had that question lingering in her head.

The priests and priestesses in Holy Achate were said to have magical powers, though she had never seen any of the magical feats in real life. She just heard it through old tales.

Usually, Gale could tell when someone was lying, but Swan was a different case because she was naturally timid and fidgety, he couldn’t sense anything wrong with her.

Or maybe he was just too lenient with her.

Nevertheless, he believed her and said, "Thought so. Don’t worry, I will handle everything as usual. You should get yourself ready as we’ll be handling kingdom matters now that Rock and Jade are out of commission."

"Lady Jade? What happened to her?" Swan asked.

Gale knew that Swan was oblivious to what Jade did and intended to keep her in the dark, as he also had no intention of letting Jade stay in the kingdom anymore.
