Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Not A Princess

Swan’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that question. Her body stiffened, and her brain short-circuited because she couldn’t give the merchant a clear answer.

It was Gale who broke the silence with a question, "What are you talking about? Do you not recognize her, or are you just trying to fool me again?"

"N-no, Your Majesty. I am just curious about Your Majesty’s wife. I heard she came from the Holy Achate, but I’d never seen her before. Maybe she is from a small baron noble that—"

"Say that one more time, and I will rip your head off," Gale interrupted calmly, but his voice carried so much threat that the merchant from Holy Achate paled instantly and zipped his lips.

Gale was relaxed the whole time until this merchant dared to insult his mate. The smile on his face had vanished, and he was trying his best to suppress his aura because Swan would be affected by it.

"I didn’t know that the people from Holy Achate have no respect for their Royal Princess. She is Princess Swan of Holy Achate, the First Princess, and my bride," Gale claimed. "I tolerate you this time because you are my wife’s subject from Holy Achate. Dare you insult her one more time, I will not be so kind."

"R-Royal Princess? But we only have—"

"SILENCE!" Gale raised his voice, and the merchants felt that the air around the throne room started thinning. Gale quickly suppressed his aura, which accidentally leaked out when he glanced at Swan. He saw Swan’s complexion was so pale, and her body was shaking.

He thought it was caused by his aura.

"You two can leave now. The guards will carry the sack of pearls and escort you to another room," Gale ordered.

The merchants exchanged glances again, and the one from Rianel Kingdom shook his head. There was no need to risk their lives over a stupid question.

Swan watched them leave the throne room, a sign that she was safe from having her real identity exposed.

Yet, the fear still lingered, and she couldn’t even imagine what would happen once Gale knew that she was just a mere whore’s daughter that was meant to be a sacrifice for him.

If he wanted the real Royal Princess, then it would be none other than Aria.

It was a miracle that she was allowed to keep breathing up until now, and got all the good treatment from Gale. She had to be prepared to die, as that was the fate awaiting her.

Gale checked on his mate again and began to worry, seeing her still looking pale even though he already suppressed his aura.

"Swan? Are you alright?" Gale asked. "If my aura is too overpowering for you, I will carry you back to our room so you can rest. Sometimes I can’t control it when I’m angry."

Swan shook her head and gave him a sweet, yet sad smile.

"I’m alright. I’m just a little exhausted since I have to yell just now," Swan replied. However, she quickly lowered her head when she realized Gale was still staring at her. She felt so guilty because she had been lying to a man who was genuine towards her. It made her sad knowing that everything they had was built based on lies.
