Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Innocence

Swan opened her eyes and quickly realized that she had returned to her bedroom in the castle. She looked around and was relieved to see Gale hadn’t returned yet, so it was unlikely that he would know about her secret.

Nevertheless, she was still nervous because this was the first time she was fully conscious when she was surrounded by the Goddess’ light.

She was asleep when she helped Rock to escape the dungeon before and the same also happened when she healed Aria’s burn scar. That wasn’t the case this time.

This might be a good thing because it seemed that she had more control over her mysterious power than before.

The first thing Swan did after returning was to sniff her body and learn that her body had been dirtied after her trip to the cave. She also noticed another wolf beastman’s scent on her body, which she assumed to be Rock’s since Gale’s scent was unique.

Thus, she ordered the cat maids to prepare a warm bath for her and quickly dipped in to clean her body from dirt and masked the scent with soap.

She sank her body up to her neck and began to process what happened just now.

Asking about the source of her mysterious power was out of the question because she also didn’t know how a whore’s daughter like her obtained such incredible magic.

But when she was in that angelic state, she felt detached from her real self. It was as if she was trapped in this almost-deity-like state, and she spoke very differently from her usual.

She did not stutter, and her words flowed like an angel doing a sermon. She also had little to no expression, even if she felt anxious, joyful, or sad inside.

"So, who am I?" Swan asked herself. "And who is that angel who entered my body? Why does she say words that I do not want to speak?"

Swan wanted to vehemently deny Rock’s question about them being destined mates. She had only known Gale and would stay loyal to him until he had no use of her anymore, or until her death.

’What if the goddess’ word is true? Am I really Goddess Asmara’s daughter?’ Swan questioned, but it didn’t take long for her to quickly dismiss the possibility. ’Ah, there’s no way. If I am truly the Goddess’ daughter, how come I have to suffer for almost twenty years in the Palace of Holy Achate? Where was she when I prayed so hard to be freed from Aria’s torment?’

"Besides, everyone told me that my mother is a whore who seduced the king. Why would a Goddess come down from heaven to earth only to seduce a king in a brothel?’

Swan quickly dropped that idea and then focused on another important matter; Lady Jade.

She was shocked when Rock said that, because never in a million years had she ever suspected foul play from Lady Jade.

She was kind to Swan, albeit a little condescending. She was also helpful.

But if what Rock said was true, then... should she tell Gale about it?

...

’I’m scared that Gale wouldn’t believe me. I don’t have any evidence, and if I say I know it because Rock told me... then I’d probably be dead meat...’

Swan gulped as she was reminded of Gale’s words before;

I hate traitors the most.
