Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: A Hardworking Advisor (I)

But she knew pearls were valuable and extremely expensive across all human kingdoms. She often noticed many of the aristocrats from other kingdoms wore pearls in various ways, either as necklaces, earrings, bracelets, or even embedded in their dresses whenever they visited Holy Achate.

If Gale could get his hands on those pearls, it would be the first of many businesses the Beastmen Kingdom would have for its longevity.

"If you can tell those fishmen to collect the pearls and send them to our kingdom, then I will guarantee that the kingdom will be able to collect gold through other means rather than war and conquest!"

"Then, what are we going to do with these golds? Are you sure you don’t want to use it for yourself?" Gale asked. "I have more than enough in the treasury already."

"I will use it to pay for the salary of the soldiers and servants in the castle first then we can start by improving the kingdom!" Swan didn’t know if all her plans would come to fruition because she didn’t have proper royal training like Aria. This was what she could come up with to be useful for Gale.

However, facing Gale’s silence, her confidence quickly withered and she stammered, "S-s-sorry, I didn’t mean to o-overstep. I-I just thought it would be good for the kingdom..."

"It’s fine. I will tell them to prepare it for you," Gale decided while caressing her belly. "I’m just impressed since you’re doing so much for the future of our cubs."

Our cubs.

That sentence embarrassed her so much as it felt like she was playing house with the King of Beasts, but at the same time, it felt good whenever she fantasized about it.

"I-I will try my best because I want to be useful to you, too," Swan murmured. "I don’t want to be a burden."

"You are never a burden, Swan," Gale comforted. ’Because you give me peace simply by sleeping with me.’

He never demanded nor expected Swan to do something to him other than offering her body because mating with him was the most important job she could do.

He still didn’t understand the urgency behind Swan’s idea, as he grew up in a culture where everything could be solved with a life-or-death fight or an all-out war.

He also didn’t think he would be depleted of gold anytime soon.

But if this was what Swan wanted, then so be it. It made him happy to see her looking so energetic as well.

Gale finally left Swan to have her lunch, as he still had things to do around the kingdom.

He saw that Swan had just finished lunch when he walked in, so he called her, "You’re coming with me, Swan."

"Ah? W-what for?" Swan questioned, but she still allowed Gale to carry her on his arm. They walked out of the room and headed to the throne room.

"I need your opinion on a kingdom matter. Since you’re my advisor now," Gale said.

"M-me? An advisor?" Swan gulped. She didn’t know if she was on par with Lady Jade. But since Gale asked her, she had to accept it, "I-I will try my best."

Gale smiled as he entered the throne room with his mate.

Swan gasped when she saw two bloodied beastmen being restrained by two guards. Gale sat on the throne and let Swan sit on his lap.

"You see, these two beastmen are fighting until they are bloody. They might kill each other if the guards didn’t stop them," Gale explained. "This is a natural occurrence in the beastmen world, as to die in a fight or a war is considered a good death. But I can’t let everyone keep making trouble in the city."

Swan was a little scared seeing the snake and badger beastmen looking at her with their bloodied body, so she scooted deeper into his embrace before asking meekly, "W-what about you, Gale? What would you do as a king?"

"I’d just kill them both. I don’t think they would be sad about it. They already had a fight with a killing intention anyway, and this incident is not the first and definitely won’t be the last," Gale replied. "I need your opinion, Swan. Maybe a human can give us a new perspective."
