Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Accusation

Swan woke up early in the morning as she felt the warmth around her suddenly disappeared before dawn. She opened her eyes and looked around only to realize that her husband wasn’t there.

She sneered at herself, ’And what did you think will happen, Swan? Do you think that Gale would come to you at night, and embrace you like usual? Do you think that Gale would forgive you so easily after you’ve betrayed him?’

Swan found her expectation to be laughable. In fact, she wanted to laugh because last night, she dreamed about her husband coming to their marital bed, whispering sweet words in her ear, kissing her forehead and cheek, then embracing her until dawn came.

It was all such a sweet dream that she thought that everything had returned to normal.

Swan glanced at the window, wishing that her husband would leap into the room from the window, but the window was shut tight, meaning that Gale truly didn’t come last night.

Swan sighed. She sat on the bed, before calling the cat maids.

Swan noticed that the cat maids looked nervous and fidgety for some reason, but she didn’t pay much attention because she thought they were nervous due to the execution day.

She wanted to ask the cat maids whether the Beast King came to her room last night, but since she already knew the answer, she’d rather ask something more important.

"Did His Majesty catch Rock Silverfang last night?" Swan asked.

"N-no, Princess. Last night was eerily quiet," Myra replied.

Obviously, Swan knew that. She just wanted to lessen the suspicion, while also confirming that nobody had yet to check the dungeon, since everyone should’ve been alerted by Long Xiurong’s absence right now.

Then she asked, "Will His Majesty proceed with the execution then?"

"We don’t know yet, Princess. But His Majesty rarely goes back on his words. So, we assume that the execution will be done in the city square for everyone to see."

Swan nodded.

She didn’t know what would happen next, but she was glad that at least Long Xiurong and Rock could live a comfortable life far from this continent, so Gale wouldn’t be able to hunt them anymore.

’Maybe when the time comes, I can visit them again, if that ever happens...’

Deep down, Swan wished that all four of them could live in harmony. She would be in a peaceful marriage with her husband, ruling over this kingdom and passing it to their offspring. Rock would still work as Gale’s beta, and Long Xiurong would be her lady-in-waiting. They could also raise their offspring together to become an Alpha-Beta pair, or Alpha-Luna if they were meant to be fated.

It was a perfect scenario that unfortunately would never happen in this lifetime. Thus, Swan buried her hope and told the cat maids, "Make sure to keep me informed of what will happen today. I want to know when someone has been executed."
