Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: About Rock (I)

The days went normally after Aria left the castle. Swan could tell that the servants, except for the cat maids, preferred Aria more than her. It might be because Aria had a set of working legs and a beauty that could destroy a kingdom.

But that wasn’t her concern, as she had always known that Aria was better than her in everything. Swan also didn’t need their approval as long as she could be useful to Gale.

Other than that, she also faintly heard whispers from the servants, but she didn’t know what was the problem.

’I shouldn’t overthink about it. I still have to help Gale as his advisor,’ Swan thought as she refocused her mind back at the snake beastman who reported about the changing seasons and how it would pose a risk to a few cold-blooded beastmen, including the snake beastmen.

Gale didn’t care much about snakes, bears, or other species that had to gather as much food as possible and hibernate during winter, as they would always be safe under the Beast King’s protection.

It was just that he knew Swan cared about this little matter, so he looked at his wife, who sat on his lap and nodded, signaling her to say something.

"Uhm... just make sure to list all of the beastmen who will go through hibernation and let those who are active substitute their jobs during winter," Swan advised. "Those who will have to substitute for their jobs will be rewarded."

"Understood, Your Highness. Please excuse me."

Swan watched the snake beastman leave the throne room, and the next one entered. It was a squirrel beastman this time. He was very small compared to other beastmen, but still five times the size of a normal squirrel.

He kneeled deeply in front of Gale and Swan before saying, "Your Majesty, I have returned with a report about Rock Silverfang."

"Rock?!" Swan couldn’t help but react the moment that name was mentioned. It had been a while since she helped him escape the dungeon, and she had been worried about him ever since.

However, her reaction quickly granted a growl from her husband, and Gale looked at her with a frown before he told the squirrel beastman, "Stay where you are. I’m going to escort my mate back to her room."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Swan was worried that the squirrel beastman might have something to tell about Rock, and since she cared about Rock as a friend, she quickly refused, "I-I want to listen too."

"No," Gale denied curtly as he got up from his throne while carrying Swan on one arm. "There’s no need for you to listen to this. He is not important."

"B-but Rock is my knight. He is m-my friend..."

"He’s a traitor," Gale stated. "He harmed you before. No one would do that to a friend."

"But I’m unharmed..."

"SWAN!"

Swan’s heart almost jumped out of her chest when Gale raised his voice on her. She paled instantly and quickly lowered her head as she was scared of inciting his anger.

Gale quickly regretted snapping at her, but he got jealous whenever Swan showed her care to Rock—or other men in general.

"It’s not your decision. He was my beta. I own his life, and I can do whatever I want with it," Gale declined. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}
