Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: The Saintess Saves Those She Wants to Save (II)

"B-but, what am I supposed to do right now? H-how am I supposed to do amazing things that you did before, Saintess?!" Swan asked.

"You are me, and I am yours. You will naturally learn how to," the Saintess replied. "Just pray deep in your heart about all the things you want to do with your holy power, and most importantly... believe in those prayers. You are the Saintess, your faith should be more than enough to cleanse evil in this world, and to save those you want to save."

The Saintess’s body slowly disintegrated into hundreds of golden butterflies that seeped into Swan’s body.

Swan could feel an enormous strength coming from within, but with such incredible power, all she could feel was grief.

She was grieving, because a liar like her didn’t deserve to obtain such holy power.

She joined her hands once more in a praying position and then prayed deep in her heart. She always had a confidence issue since she was young, but she didn’t want to mess it up this time.

The glow around her body started to shine brighter and brighter as she prayed;

Oh Goddess, let me use this power to mend my mistake. Let me be the Saintess that brings salvation into this scorched land. Let me be the cure for my husband’s curse.

Grace me with your holiness, oh Goddess.

As Swan finished her prayer, the light consumed her, and she disappeared again from her bedroom.

Long Xiurong was hungry and exhausted. It had been more than twelve hours since she was imprisoned, and she hadn’t had any meal yet. She doubted that she’d get any though, since she would be executed tomorrow.

She clenched the gray mammoth tusk as it was the source of her strength and sanity. She didn’t want to break down in front of that shitty bunny maid.

’A noblewoman from the Eastern Long Dynasty will have to keep her head high even when facing death,’ Long Xiurong told herself. ’Don’t be weak, Long Xiurong. You’ve seen so many deaths in the harem. You’ve seen the deaths of other concubines who failed to maintain their status in front of the Emperor. You should be well prepared to face the same fate.’

She was about to close her eyes but realized that Alice had been watching over her the whole time from the prison cell directly facing hers. She scoffed and said, "You should probably sleep. You’ll die by tomorrow morning anyway."

"You mean, YOU will die, right?" Long Xiurong corrected.

"His Majesty will free me! I believe in him!"

"You shouldn’t. He is very biased. He cares about his subjects, but his true love and loyalty are only for Swan," Long Xiurong bluntly responded. She had no more energy to argue with Alice.

She was about to close her eyes when a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her. Long Xiurong closed her eyes because it was too blinding until she heard the familiar soft voice of none other than Queen Swan.
