Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: A Handsome Young Wolf (I)

Rock looked at her pleadingly.

Long Xiurong was weak to this man’s handsome face. She was almost swayed to help him, but she knew better not to poke the sleeping wolf.

"I don’t want to get executed for helping a fugitive," Long Xiurong refused. "I know better to save my life. The moment His Majesty knew that I was helping a fugitive to meet his wife, he would kill me out of rage. I think you know better how scary he can get."

Of course, Rock understood that very well. He was at the receiving end of the Beast King’s rage more than once, but he was desperate to find a way to meet Princess Swan.

"I promise that all you need to do is to give me a way so I can enter Princess Swan’s room. All I want is to talk with her at least once, making sure that she is alright, then I can leave!"

"We both know that’s not possible," Long Xiurong sighed. "Listen, I understand that you might be in love with her because of her beauty, but she is His Majesty’s mate, and they are deeply in love with each other. It’s not worth the risk."

"I’m not in love with my Princess!" Rock rebuked.

Usually, he would never show his true feelings to someone else. But this time, his instinct told him to clarify before this lady thought that his heart was already taken by another woman.

"Then how come you are so insistent on meeting her in person? Wait, don’t tell me that Princess Swan also reciprocates your love," Long Xiurong theorized, then got sad by her own words.

Because she was quite fond of this man’s handsome face. It would be sad if she had no chance at all, right?

"N-no, Princess Swan and the Beast King are in love with each other. That’s the undeniable truth," Rock clarified.

"So what’s with your fascination with her?"

Rock didn’t want to tell Long Xiurong about Princess Swan’s strange power that helped him escape twice and also healed him from his muteness after Lady Jade poisoned him.

So, he simply replied, "I am bound by duty to protect her, making sure that she is alright. Even if I have been kicked out of the kingdom by His Majesty, the Princess still refers to me as her Dear Knight. My loyalty only lies in her right now," Rock didn’t want Long Xiurong to misunderstand further. "Let’s just say that I’ve sworn upon my pride as a werewolf that I will stay by her side and protect her no matter what. It’s not about love or anything. I am her knight, her protector."

"I see..." Long Xiurong more or less understood. In the Eastern Long Dynasty, there was no such thing as an assigned knight. The Emperor had his group of highly skilled assassins, but the rest of the harem members only had regular guards to protect them.
