Swan returned to her room just a few seconds after she left Long Xiurong and Rock in that small paradise. She landed on her bed softly, and she could gradually feel the pain returning to her deformed legs, which was a sign that she was about to lose her saintess form soon.
She was exhausted after everything that happened tonight. She also didn’t expect that using the holy power could be so physically and mentally draining.
’If you are too tired, I can take the holy power out of your body, Swan,’ the Saintess said in Swan’s head. ’It will take a toll on your body if you keep it for too long.’
’Saintess, let me keep it for now,’ Swan replied.
’But why?’ the Saintess asked.
Swan remembered what Alice was yelling about in the dungeon. She threatened to expose her identity as the Saintess in front of Gale, so Swan would be executed as well.
She believed that Gale wouldn’t execute her for it, but she also believed that he would imprison her for a longer time as she had, once again, broken his trust by hiding her true identity.
’I want to keep this Saintess form for as long as I can be,’ Swan said to the Saintess. ’If my husband walks in and sees me in this holy form, then it is his right to know about everything.’
’Are you sure about this?’ the Saintess asked.
’Yes, it all depends on fate in the end...’
Thus, Swan maintained her Saintess form for a while, and she soon found her gaze getting fuzzier. Sweats perspired on her temple as she kept staring at the door, hoping that Gale would enter and witness her in her Saintess form.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t maintain this Saintess form for much longer. Swan eventually blacked out and fainted on the bed.
Meanwhile, Gale was walking through the long corridor towards his marital bedroom. He could’ve just leaped into the window from the castle ground, but he walked through this long corridor to gather his thoughts.
It had only been almost twenty hours since he punished Swan with imprisonment, but his heart was already craving badly for her.
He wanted to see her.
He wanted to taste her scent.
He wanted to touch her.
He wanted her.
