Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Scalded

Swan was sitting inside her room at a table full of assorted snacks, desserts, and a pot of tea. It was another tea time with Aria, but it wasn’t Gale’s idea this time.

It was she who requested another tea time with Aria, mostly because she wanted to keep her half-sister away from Gale, knowing that she would use all kinds of methods to seduce him, and Swan wasn’t sure if Gale could resist the temptation.

On top of that, she was also curious about Aria’s reaction after what happened yesterday.

Would Aria continue to suspect her as a witch? Or would she drop the idea and start bullying her again?

It didn’t take long for Aria to open the door by herself and walk in with a big smile on her face. She didn’t seem hurt, and her hand was completely intact.

Aria probably thought she was hallucinating yesterday, but Swan knew well it was real.

"G-good morning, Aria. Please have a seat..." Swan greeted nervously as she pointed at the seat in front of hers.

Aria kept her smile as she sat facing Swan and poured herself a cup of tea.

She said nothing, and they drank their tea in silence until Swan mentioned, "I-I heard from Gale that you were hallucinating yesterday. You said that your hand melted."

"It’s not a hallucination," Aria said calmly. "I know damn well that you are a witch, Swan. I can feel the pain as my skin burned and my flesh melted. You can’t fool me with your stupid face."

"You have no proof..." Swan muttered. "Besides, your hand is fine, right?"

"That’s because you used your dark magic on me. Witches have to be burned at a stake for a reason," Aria said. "You should’ve known that Holy Achate would burn any woman who shows any signs of being a witch. Had I known that you were practicing witchcraft, I would’ve told the soldiers to burn you alive back in the Holy Achate."

Swan shuddered, imagining herself getting burned like a witch.

"B-but we are in the Kingdom of Beastmen right now. You can’t do that..."

"I know, but..." Aria rubbed a porcelain cup with tea in it. She grinned as she stared at Swan and exclaimed, "I can do this!"

Aria threw the porcelain cup with the scalding hot tea towards Swan’s face, and Swan was too stunned to react.

She didn’t even have time to close her eyes as the porcelain cup was about to hit her face.

And then....

Crack!

"Swan! Are you alright?!" Gale asked. "Where is the witch?!" _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
