Long Xiurong asked her attendant to knock on Queen Swan and the Beast King’s door and entered after she was allowed to.
She was a bit nervous as she never had any meaningful conversation with the Beast King except when she offered her body once, and also during the celebration banquet.
Just as she expected, the moment she entered the room, she could feel the Beast King’s glare on her.
He was blindfolded as always, but his stern expression gave off the feeling that he was watching her every move, like a vigilant wolf ready to kill in case his mate got hurt.
Contrary to his hostile atmosphere, Queen Swan smiled sweetly as she greeted Long Xiurong, "It’s been a while, Lady Long. Please sit down, I want to catch up with you."
"T-thank you for inviting me, Your Majesty," Long Xiurong responded as she sat on the seat directly facing the Beast King and his mate. Judging from how displeased Gale looked, it seemed that Gale didn’t want to have this tea time, but Queen Swan insisted on it. Long Xiurong couldn’t help but add meekly, "I-if my presence is not necessary, then I can leave. We can reschedule this tea time, Your Majesty."
Swan elbowed her husband’s stomach and scolded him, "Don’t make that face in front of her. She will think that you’re unhappy!"
Gale scoffed, "She’s not wrong. Why can’t we just stay in our bedroom together until you give birth? It’s safer that way. I hate to see someone else in our den right now."
Swan sighed, "We still need to wait for Matoa to come and check if I’m pregnant."
"You are pregnant. I can feel it," Gale insisted, and Swan giggled in response;
"And how do you ’feel’ it? You’re not the one pregnant!"
"I can detect the scent of our cub," Gale stated as he sniffed her nape. "Yes, it’s very faint, but I can smell him inside your womb."
"Really?" Swan was interested. "Then, does it already have a gender? Humans and beastmen have different ways to breed, so maybe..."
Gale smiled mysteriously, "It’s a secret. But yes, our cub already has a gender."
Swan had been trying her best to suppress her expectations about her pregnancy, but Gale’s words were like a key that opened a world of wonder for her, as Swan couldn’t help but imagine her baby.
"T-then, we need to get Matoa in here as soon as possible! I want to make sure that I’m truly pregnant!" Swan exclaimed excitedly.
The smile on Gale’s lips slowly dissipated as he replied, "I will make sure they will bring him here. Matoa is difficult to find, as he likes to travel around the continent. My scouts are working hard to track him down as we speak."
