Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: The Beautiful and Innocent Meredith (III)

Meredith was taken by the guard to the maid quarter where she was given a maid outfit, bedding, and her first meal after a while.

The other maids were looking at her suspiciously, as they didn’t like a stranger to barge into their quarters, especially when that stranger was a human.

Some of the maids already harbored a dislike towards Queen Swan because she was a human. Despite all the good things Swan had done, they still thought she didn’t deserve to be their Queen as she had no physical capability unlike the Beast King.

Nevertheless, they didn’t dare to confront Meredith directly, as the guard told them that she was under His Majesty’s protection.

Except for one senior maid, a gazelle beastman, who walked to Meredith’s bed and asked in a somewhat arrogant and challenging tone, "Welcome to the Beastman’s maid quarter. I heard from the guard that your name is Meredith, right?"

"Y-yes, Ma’am," Meredith nodded bashfully. "I-I am the only human in this maid quarter, but I-I will do my best!"

The gazelle maid scoffed, "What can you do anyway? You are just a human. You tire out easily, and you don’t have any advantage compared to us."

Meredith could feel the pressure as this senior gazelle maid and also the other maids were staring at her with suspicious looks. They treated her like an outsider, and she knew she had to do something or else she’d be bullied in this maid quarter.

Thus, Meredith took off her cloak and showed them the necklace with a pink pendant. The pink pendant glinted for a second, and Meredith replied, "I-I’m sorry, Ma’am. I-I will do my best. I just want to w-work so I can survive. I-I need a place to stay after that crazy bear beastman destroyed my hut."

The gazelle maid alongside the rest of the people in the maid quarter stared at the pink pendant on Meredith’s neck, and they suddenly lowered their guard, feeling sympathetic for Meredith, and developed this fondness for her almost instantly.

"Ah... uhm... uh..." The senior gazelle maid felt guilty for intimidating such a cute and powerless female human. "D-doesn’t matter. I just want to make sure you are aware of your duty as a maid here. I’m not going to go easy on you."

"Y-yes, Ma’am! I will do my absolute best!"

The gazelle maid left the quarter, and her absence quickly thawed the frozen wall between Meredith and the rest of the maid beastmen. They quickly gathered around Meredith and started complimenting her.

"Oh my, your skin is so soft, Meredith! Are all humans like this?"

"N-not all," Meredith replied bashfully.
