Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Seething Jealousy (II)

Swan didn’t care about herself. She knew she had no worth in this world, but she would do everything to make sure that Gale maintained his dignity and pride as the Beast King.

"I hope it won’t bring me too much trouble. I’m not as crafty as Lady Jade, after all," Swan muttered.

Then, she was reminded of Long Xiurong, who seemed to be completely oblivious about the poisoned tea. Swan guessed that Lady Jade also wanted to poison Long Xiurong in a fit of jealousy.

’If my guess is right, then that means Long Xiurong and I are in the same situation. I should warn her about Lady Jade. I need to set up another tea time soon.’

"Your Majesty, this is the pearl necklace that you ordered from Mako, King of the West Sea," Blaze presented a beautiful pearl necklace made out of the best pearl the West Sea had.

Swan kept telling him that she didn’t need any jewelry, but Gale thought that was simply impossible.

He lived long enough to know that no woman—human or beastman—could resist beautiful things. Even a strong female warrior from any beastmen tribe would adorn themselves with beautiful jewelry on their body or armor.

Thus, he simply thought that Swan had a much better taste than regular women. She wanted the best of the best, so Gale wanted to give her the best pearl necklace the West Sea could ever produce.

Gale accepted the pearl and put it near the candle. He was amazed by how the pearl shone lustrously even with such a minimal light. He couldn’t imagine how beautiful his wife would look wearing this while being showered by the moonlight.

"Ah, my beautiful Swan..." Gale got excited as he couldn’t wait to see Swan’s reaction. He got up from his throne and ordered, "Tell Mako the King of the West Sea that I’m grateful for his hard work. I’ll think of a reward for him later."

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

Gale was making quick steps across the castle to reach his wife’s room. He was so excited to see her reaction that he couldn’t even hide his smile.

However, that smile faded when he passed Jade and Long Xiurong in the corridor.

Long Xiurong sheepishly bowed in front of her husband and asked, "You seem to be in a rush, Your Majesty. May I know if something is bothering you?"

Jade saw the beautiful pearl necklace in Gale’s hand. She lived long enough to know that pearl necklace must’ve been specifically ordered for Swan, as that cunning bitch was currently his object of fascination.

As if she would let that happen.

She wanted it for herself, but saying that would only make Gale laugh at her for acting ridiculous.

Thus, she said, "Isn’t it obvious enough, Lady Long? See that beautiful pearl necklace in His Majesty’s hand? It must be a gift for you."

"A-A gift?!" Long Xiurong gasped, and her jaw dropped even more when she saw the beautiful pearl necklace in his hand. She had never seen a pearl necklace that beautiful in her life, and she blushed instantly.

To be given such a beautiful necklace just one day after arriving at the Kingdom of Beastman must’ve meant the Beast King liked her. He probably didn’t come to her room last night because he was too busy dealing with everything in the kingdom.

"If it’s not for Lady Long, then who is it for?"

"Huh? For my wife, of course," Gale replied nonchalantly. He got impatient as Jade kept pestering him even though he wanted to meet Swan as soon as possible.

"But Lady Long is also your wife. She deserves that pearl necklace," Jade insisted.

"I don’t have time for this," Gale muttered grumpily. He lifted the beautiful pearl necklace and said, "This is for my wife, Swan of the Holy Achate. I’ve specifically ordered it from the Fishmen King of the West Sea because I want to give her the best. Now move aside, Jade, I need to give it to her!"

Jade pursed her lips as she couldn’t smile anymore. She stepped aside and watched Gale rushing towards the spiral staircase leading to Swan’s room.

"You should’ve fought more for that necklace, Lady Long. It’s one of a kind, and if you insist, he would’ve given it to you," Jade commented.

Long Xiurong chuckled shyly, "I don’t like pearls that much, Milady. It is fine."

Long Xiurong only said that to appease Lady Jade who was seething with jealousy.

If she had to be honest, she already knew that it was impossible to have that necklace.

Because the Beast King looked genuinely happy when he said he wanted to meet his wife just now. It was Princess Swan’s necklace, and nobody else could wear it.

’He is so in love with Princess Swan... Will I ever have that kind of love as well?’
