Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: A Warm Dawn (II)

Gale was confused when he saw their sad expression as if they were mourning over something.

Surely, they weren’t mourning for the animals he accidentally killed during his rut, right? After all, it was inevitable, and it was already good enough damage control considering he didn’t kill any beastman or human last night.

Nevertheless, Gale paid them no mind and ordered, "Prepare a breakfast for Swan and I. Make sure to warm them up, especially for my wife. It was very cold last night, so she needs some nourishment."

The beastmen soldiers exchanged glances as they thought that His Majesty was in denial over Princess Swan’s death.

They wanted to point it out, but nobody dared to, not even Blaze.

Thus, they all decided to just follow the instructions so they wouldn’t accidentally anger His Majesty.

Gale returned to the cave, and the beastmen got busy preparing breakfast for the two.

"Do you think we will have to carry Princess Swan’s remains after this?" an elephant beastman asked while bringing out a few pre-cooked food they had stored.

"I don’t know. But I guess it’s inevitable," Blaze replied. "I just can’t imagine the horrifying sight inside the cave. His Majesty lost his mind during the coldest night, so... Princess Swan’s remains must’ve been..."

Destroyed.

That was the right word to describe Princess Swan’s remains. But nobody dared to say it out loud as they were still mourning.

"Who will carry these foods into the cave? I don’t know if I can act normal while seeing Princess Swan’s remains. She’s far too kind to us," a boar beastman asked. "How about you, Blaze? Since you are the unofficial beta after Rock."

"I-I’m sorry, but I can’t," Blaze sighed. "No matter how strong I am. I cannot bear to see Princess Swan’s remains. I will probably cry."

It was shocking that Blaze Silverfang would say such a thing, but it was true for all the soldiers.

None of them would be able to hold back their tears because they liked Princess Swan for her kindness and respected her deeds in reforming the kingdom’s system.

She might not be physically strong, but she surely had the heart and the brain to become their Queen.

"Um... I-I can carry the breakfast inside the cave," Alice volunteered.

"Are you sure? You should never cry because it will upset His Majesty, do you understand?" Blaze warned, and Alice almost rolled her eyes because rather than crying, she must’ve held herself not to dance around the witch’s corpse.

"I have been working as Lady Long’s attendant for a while now. I can handle myself," Alice replied, and the rest were convinced.

Alice had been dying to volunteer as she wanted to be the first one to see that witch’s remains. It was probably just a little meat gunk and blood left, but she would be more than happy to report that to Lady Jade!

Thus, Alice carried a tray full of warm breakfast for Princess Swan, as His Majesty said that the Princess was very hungry.

She tried to maintain her calm attitude as she entered the cave.

Thus, relying on her luck, she smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Y-yes, Princess. I—and the other soldiers—thought that you... are no longer in this world. We are mourning for you just now. But I’m happy that you are alive and well. I-I should tell the others about this good news!" _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

Swan giggled, "Go on and tell them that His Majesty’s rut has been solved. He shouldn’t rampage around anymore in the upcoming years knowing that I’m here. Isn’t that right, husband?"

"Hm," Gale nodded absentmindedly. He was still somewhat offended because he would never hurt his wife.

But then again, he did lose control last night, so he couldn’t defend himself in this situation.

"T-then, please excuse me!" Alice bowed and rushed out of the cave.

Alice couldn’t believe her own eyes as she kept muttering;

"This can’t be. How could that be? How is she still here?"

Her mind was blown away seeing Princess Swan looking so healthy and unscathed. It was simply impossible, no matter how strong her dark magic was, she shouldn’t be able to defeat His Majesty, right?

’N-no, there’s no way she can defeat His Majesty. Lady Jade told me that His Majesty is immune to any harmful magic attack,’ Alice tried to convince herself. ’So how did she survive?! It’s illogical!’

Alice was also afraid of angering Lady Jade, as she had told her many times that the coldest night was the perfect time to get rid of that bitch.

’What am I supposed to say to Milady? She will be disappointed...’ Alice thought.
