Gale stared at the sun as it was starting to set. The port had been emptied, and all the peasants had evacuated, fearing the Beast King’s wrath. freeweɓnøvel.com
Gale found it quite funny because he would never harm innocent humans or beastmen when they weren’t at war.
As a beastman, he had to adhere to a strict code and culture that forbade him from playing dirty, such as keeping civilians hostage, poisoning drinking wells, or burning food stock.
The late King Tyrion’s underhanded methods angered him so much that he decided to show them his true strength.
He wasn’t even at his full potential, as he didn’t transform into his giant wolf form during an eclipse. He would get even bigger and stronger to the point of rivaling Gods and Goddesses during that short window of eclipse.
Nevertheless, he still had to be honorable during the war and wouldn’t touch the innocent, unless Swan wanted him to break that code of honor.
If Swan told him to kill every single living being in this wretched kingdom, then he would do it in a heartbeat as he believed it would be a befitting punishment for Queen Anastasia for neglecting Swan.
’But you are too kind, my Lovely Swan,’ Gale thought as he stared at the sunset.
He took a deep breath as the royal carriage entered the port, and Princess Aria’s voice rang loudly as she rushed towards him, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do in here?!"
Aria looked concerned as she stood right in front of Gale, acting like she was distressed over her kingdom’s fate.
"I-I heard from the soldiers that you are about to punish us for something. A-As the Royal Princess of Holy Achate, I cannot let you do that!" Aria yelled as her eyes glazed with tears. "If you want to punish someone, then punish me instead! You can take me back to your castle, and—"
"Step back," Gale said indifferently. "It has nothing to do with you, Princess Aria."
"Huh?" Aria wiped her tears, staring at the handsome Beast King in confusion. "T-then, what are you punishing us for?"
"I will tell you later. Now step back before you get instantly killed by my eyes," Gale warned, and Aria reluctantly returned to her mother’s side.
They looked at each other before turning their gazes at the back of the Beast King. Gale had a lot of battle scars on his back, which was a sign of barbarianism for the nobles in Holy Achate, but it looked hot and seductive for Aria.
Everyone watched the Beast King from behind. They witnessed as he walked towards the water and took a deep breath before speaking in a commanding tone that was loud, yet very calm and collected, "Come, whoever rules the North Sea."
