Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: To Catch A Traitor

"W-what about me? Of course, I will be just fine! I’m sure His Majesty will pardon me too!" Alice yelled, but at this point, she was just trying to convince herself or else she would fall into deep despair.

"Do you think you’re so special for the Beast King to pardon you?" Long Xiurong sneered. "He doesn’t love you like he loves Queen Swan. I am Queen Swan’s only friend in this castle, and yet, I will get executed for one mistake. If the Queen’s friend is not free from execution, then what about a random bunny maid in the castle? Don’t you realize you have no value to him when he could just take another bunny beastman from your tribe and replace you as a maid?"

"T-that’s not—"

"That is the truth," Long Xiurong interrupted. "You know that you’re not important to him. You’re just deluding yourself, thinking that you can be a hero somehow."

"SHUT UP!" Alice snapped. "I don’t care what you say! Just wait and see! I will be His Majesty’s personal attendant in the end, and I will see you getting beheaded in public for treason!"

Long Xiurong shrugged, "I’m getting tired of debating with someone in denial. I’ll just rest and wait until the day of my execution... with you."

Thus, Long Xiurong decided to lean on the wall, holding the gray mammoth tusk close to her heart as she kept thinking about her man, Rock Silverfang.

’I’m sorry, Rock. I promised that I would leave the castle and run away with you. I was so happy thinking that we could start a life together somewhere, but it seems that I will die earlier,’ Long Xiurong said in her heart.

She did not doubt that Rock would be able to escape the Beast King’s hunt. He was still the second strongest after the Beast King, so he still had a chance to get away.

’I hope you can move on from me after I disappear,’ Long Xiurong thought. ’I’m sorry for praying to the Goddess to make you my mate. I was selfish and thought that I could finally have a family of my own. I shouldn’t have done that, so you don’t need to suffer from heartbreak after my death.’ _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

’Goodbye, Rock Silverfang.’

Meanwhile, Rock was busy on the northern coast of Holy Achate, where many ships were docked. He already promised his Ah-Rong that he would bring her out of Gale’s castle, and they could start their own pack somewhere.

He didn’t want his fated mate to suffer through the long journey on the ship, so he was trying to find the most luxurious ship he could find for her.

As he walked around the pier, his senses told him something was off.

"UNDERSTOOD, YOUR MAJESTY!"

All the beastmen generals agreed to the order from their king, but one general couldn’t help but ask, "Your Majesty, is it really okay to execute Lady Long Xiurong? I do not mean to challenge your authority, but I’ve been told by the servants that Her Majesty and Lady Long are best friends. Executing Lady Long would make her sad."

"I do not care about my wife’s opinion," Gale replied. "She is the one who betrayed me in the first place, I do not need to play by her rules right now. Long Xiurong’s death is a consequence of their action."

Honestly, all the beastmen soldiers still didn’t believe that their beloved Queen would do that. They were so in love with the Queen, that even their offspring idolized her so much, from her beauty, her grace, her kindness and also her intelligence. She was perfect in the eyes of the soldiers.

Thus, all the beastmen soldiers were collectively distressed knowing that His Majesty was furious at her. They were scared that she would fall out of favor and get kicked out of the kingdom.

Some of the beastmen soldiers already planned to leave the Kingdom of Beastmen to follow their Queen and protect her, as they were truly devoted to her.

If the Beast King lost his mind and killed Queen Swan, all soldiers tacitly agreed to launch a coup to avenge her death, though they knew all of them would be killed effortlessly by their Beast King, at least they could die avenging their beloved Queen’s death.
