Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Pregnant?

"Pregnant?" Swan finished Myra’s sentence.

Myra and Maya were scared that Princess Swan would get sad whenever the topic of pregnancy came up, so they tried to clarify, "I-it could be a possibility that you’re actually pregnant, Princess. B-but we are unsure since we don’t really know how female human pregnancy works..."

Swan thoughtfully considered the possibility.

She had seen one maid who got pregnant while working in the Holy Achate Palace. It was an unwanted pregnancy, since the maid was still young, and had a fling with a soldier.

Swan didn’t know much about what kind of daily life that maid had experienced as a pregnant woman, but she remembered her cries of pain when she gave birth. The maid immediately got kicked out of the palace once Aria found out about this.

Thus, Swan’s understanding of pregnancy was also very limited.

"M-maybe we should call Matoa again, Princess. We don’t think the castle doctor is knowledgeable about human pregnancy, but Matoa is famous all across the land," Maya suggested.

"Mm, yes, I will call him once winter ends. It’s only two weeks from now anyway," Swan smiled. Honestly, she was very skeptical that she could get pregnant at this point. They had mated so many times, and since both she and Gale were very fertile, it was just a matter of fate that they weren’t meant to be together.

Despite that, Swan still wanted to give it a shot. Maybe the Goddess finally pitied her enough and blessed her with a baby.

"A baby, huh?" Swan smiled as she subconsciously caressed her flat belly. "I wonder if such a miracle could happen."

Long Xiurong had been opening her window every night, gazing at the moon while waiting for that handsome young wolf to come and meet her again. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

She had the letter written by Queen Swan in her left hand, while her right hand was clutching the mammoth tusk pendant, the lifesaving keepsake given by Rock Silverfang.

The cold was not good for her, as she was just a normal human. She drank a lot of hot tea these days to fight the cold. She also kept the fireplace burning for the entire night so she could stay warm even when the window was opened. Long Xiurong believed that Rock would eventually come to her.

’Goddess Asmara, I didn’t believe in you at first, but I believe in you now that I’ve seen Rock Silverfang. My heart tells me that he is the man that I need. He is the man who will give me joy in life. Oh, Goddess, please let me meet him again. I want to see him.’

"No, you should keep it for remembrance sake," Rock denied as he gently held her hand and closed her fist. "I gave it to you because I want you to be safe. Even if you have no use for it now, at least you can still remember me from time to time when looking at this tusk."

Long Xiurong’s cheeks reddened instantly. Her body turned hot, and she felt like the gray mammoth tusk had turned into hot coal in her hand. She lowered her head and pulled her hand.

Long Xiurong shoved the letter to his chest and stammered, "T-t-this is the letter written by Queen Swan. Y-you should read it, and then write a new one for her if you want to."

Rock held the letter but kept his eyes on Lady Long the whole time. He had been questioning whether Long Xiurogn was truly his fated one every day after their very first encounter, and now that he was breathing her scent that filled the room again, he realized that might be true.

Rock couldn’t get enough of her scent. It made him want to stay close by her side forever if he could.

Long Xiurong took a few steps back, and added, "I-I don’t want to peek at the letter. I know it’s private between you two. So, just tell me when you’re done, okay?"

However, Rock took a big stride toward Long Xiurong and held her hand, "Why don’t we read it together instead? My dearest Princess has trusted you to deliver this letter, so she must’ve trusted you enough to read it with me."
