Swan opened her eyes and found herself alone on her bed. It was strange that she always felt warm when she was asleep, but whenever she woke up, there was only her on this warm bed, and the warmth she felt all night mysteriously disappeared.
She asked the cat maids a few times, and they always said nobody came to the room at night, so she was left confused all the time.
Nevertheless, her dream tonight was vivid, and seeing how happy Gale was with their son motivated Swan a lot.
She knew she had to be prepared for self-sacrifice. Even though she had no idea how and when it would happen, she held onto the Saintess’ words that it wouldn’t be long until Swan got the answer she sought.
’Even if it will cost me my life, or my happiness, I will make sure that Gale will be happy!’

Jade walked into Gale’s room with a vase filled with lilies of the valley. She had coated the lily with aphrodisiac powder she made last night.
She could’ve just sprayed a lot of it, but she didn’t want Gale to go into a rut and kill her in the process of mating.
Jade put the vase on the bedside table, making sure the position was ideal for Gale to inhale the powder whenever he fell asleep. After that, she cleaned around the room.
She tried sticking her nose on the bed sheet, wanting to inhale the masculine scent of the Beast King, but strangely enough, there was no scent of him at all as if he hadn’t slept in here last night.
"Huh, strange. He has such a unique, strong masculine scent that should’ve lingered on the bed even if he took a bath in the lake last night," Jade pondered.
She was disappointed, but there wasn’t much she could do, so she just cleaned the rest and left the room.
The moment she opened the door, she bumped into Gale who had just finished his morning breakfast by hunting an eagle in the south. His body reeked of blood, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his lips.
"What are you doing here?" Gale asked coldly.
"Ah! P-pardon me, Your Majesty. I-I was just cleaning the room as usual!" Meredith replied as she bowed.
"Hrm. No need to clean it in the morning. I don’t sleep in here at night after all," Gale said.
Meredith was surprised, "Why not, Your Majesty?"
"Because I’m sleeping with my wife, obviously," Gale replied. "Now go, I want to rest for a bit before going to the throne room."
Jade felt humiliated once again. She thought she already had a head-start because Gale and Swan were having a cold war, but what was the use of the said cold war when they still shared their marital bed at night?
’I knew we were still very much in love with each other, Sweetheart. All we need is to let time heal us both, then we can go on with our usual married life, right?’ Gale smiled. He was in a great mood today. frёewebnoѵēl.com
