Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Unconditionally

Long Xiurong had never seen anyone so devoted to a man before, and since she had been living within her Emperor Father’s harem since she was born.

Thus, she usually could tell when a woman in the harem was trying to look like a white lotus; pure, innocent, and devoted, to seduce her Emperor Father. However, it mostly didn’t work, as her Emperor Father only cared for a woman when she was beautiful,

Long Xiurong also knew that Princess Swan wasn’t faking it. She genuinely wanted the best for His Majesty.

’Her eyes tell everything I need to know...’ Long Xiurong thought. She couldn’t help but ask, "Princess, do you love His Majesty that much?"

"I—" Swan paused for a moment. She didn’t understand why Long Xiurong asked this all of a sudden, and she was thinking of the right answer. ’Do I love him? I think the answer is obvious, but do I have to tell her?’

After a long silence, Long Xiurong asked again, "Princess?"

"I don’t love him," Swan said coldly, and Long Xiurong’s eyes widened.

"You... don’t love him?" Long Xiurong thought she misheard it, "Are you sure, Princess?"

Swan clenched her blanket as her heart started to ache again. Of course, she loved Gale. She loved him so much that she could die for him.

But at the same time, faced with the idea that she wasn’t his fated mate, it wasn’t her right to boldly claim that she was in love, as it would only make it harder for him to move on later on.

"He... took me after he defeated my kingdom. I shouldn’t love him, but..." Swan took a deep breath and stared straight at Long Xiurong to give her a proper answer, "I am not going to be one who’d stay by his side in the end. So I won’t say that I love him. I just want him to be healthy, to have a good kingdom for his cubs in the future, and to be cured of his curse before I die."

Long Xiurong gulped.

She didn’t understand why Princess Swan wouldn’t indulge in the love that she had with His Majesty. The more she tried to deny it, the more obvious it became that Princess Swan truly loved the Beast King.

Long Xiurong loved the Beast King, but her love for him was more for his status as the mighty powerful Beast King. She loved him because Gale was very handsome and strong.

However, Princess Swan’s love seemed to have surpassed that barrier.

Her love was truly unconditional. She would be happy for him even if she wasn’t in the picture with the Beast King.

’So, how am I supposed to compete with that kind of love? It’s so unfair,’ Long Xiurong felt defeated, but she didn’t feel bitter or even had any kind of resentment towards this woman. ’I cannot compete with her love. So, I guess there’s already a clear winner in this harem.’

Long Xiurong remembered how bitter Lady Jade was whenever the Beast King displayed his love towards Princess Swan, and she couldn’t understand her bitterness.

How could you feel bitter seeing two pairs of lovebirds who were so devoted to each other?

"No, not because of that. I just think that you and His Majesty are so in love. There’s no point in competing," Long Xiurong smiled. She sipped her tea again, then ate a snack on the table without worry. "I’ve never seen these snacks before, are these the traditional food from Holy Achate?" _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

"Then, would you mind if I come for a visit in your room more often? These snacks are nice!" Long Xiurong asked with an overly friendly tone.

Swan understood it was Long Xiurong’s way to tell her that she trusted Swan now, and was willing to forge a bond.

Thus, she nodded, "You can come anytime. I’d prepare the snacks—no, I will invite you for lunch later. I’ll tell the maids to prepare the Holy Achate’s specialty."

"Thank you, Princess. You know... you are far kinder than I expected."

"Than you expected?" Swan chuckled. "I don’t think I look scary at all."

Long Xiurong wanted to mention the witch rumor, but she was afraid it would ruin the good atmosphere between them, so she said, "You don’t look scary. It’s just my first impression of you came from our tea time with Lady Jade, and you are exceptionally sharp with your tongue there."

"I have no choice but to do that because I don’t want to get stomped and humiliated by her," Swan replied honestly. "Besides, I don’t want her to dominate the conversation completely, especially when WE are supposed to be Gale’s wives, not her. She doesn’t have the right to intimidate us, you should remember that."

"I-I will remember that clearly, Princess! Thank you!"

Thus, after they understood each other better, Long Xiurong and Swan finally had a normal tea time without Lady Jade around.
