39 Chapter 39: Blindfold


    "Stop throwing usations. You''re not going to change my mind,” Gale rebuked firmly. “Go and do your job, as your king, I expect you to bring good results from your journey


    to the East.


    Jade gave him a look of disdain before she stepped into the carriage.


    As the carriage set off, she stared at the tower where Swan''s bedroom was, and a sneer of disdain appeared on her face, "That woman is hiding something"


    "M-Mdy, what happened between you and His Majesty? Why did he send you out for a mission so soon?" her aide who sat next to her asked. He had been busy dealing with many things with the peasant beastmen in the city, so he had no idea of what happened inside the castle.


    “Nothing much. I just happened to find something interesting," Jade shrugged. "That His Majesty''s first mate is not really a normal human, or else, there is no way she can survive Rock''s attackst night.”


    Her aide didn''t know much, but he had been told that the King''s beta had attacked Princess Swan of Holy Achate, so he was supposed to be imprisoned before he magically disappeared out of his prison cell.


    "I suspect that woman is also the one who helped Rock to escape," Jade murmured.


    "But, Mdy, isn''t that woman a... cripple?”


    "That''s why I said that woman must''ve been hiding something," Jade said. "I still have no proof yet, but I will return with His Majesty''s second mate. I''m sure if my guess is correct, Swan will do something to kill this new mate. She''s probably trying to hog Gale all for herself." (2


    “Mdy, isn''t it too fast for His Majesty to mark another woman? As long as his next rut is satiated by Princess Swan, wouldn''t it be too cruel to ditch her immediately?"


    "Do you think I care about that?” Jade sneered. “He must ditch that cripple immediately, he''s not supposed to be toofortable with any of his mates. That''s


    what his curse dictates." 5

    Gale watched five carriages set off on the journey to the kingdom of the east before he turned around and said to a young wolf beastman in front of him, "What is your name again?"

    39 Chapter 39: Blindfold


    "ze Silverfang, Your Majesty," the young wolf beastman with dark green hair replied with a bit of fear and also an expectation in his voice. He was Rock''s beta before their Silverfang n got absolutely demolished by Cale''s sheer strength, and thus had been devoting themselves to his soldiers because was their pride to follow the strongest.


    Now that Rock had done an unforgiving sin by lusting after their King''s mate, then ze would naturally be the next in line to be King Gale''s Beta since he was the strongest after Rock.


    But Gale didn''t seem to be happy when ze mentioned his full name, “You are from the same n as Rock, huh?"


    “Yes, Your Majesty! We–the Silverfangs–will proudly follow you as the strongest!”


    "Rock Silverfang betrayed me," Gale said calmly, but his voice carried so much weight that ze quickly fell to his knees to show his deep respect.


    "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I will make sure to catch him and have him tried for betraying you!" ze said.


    "No need, you just need to tell me where your Silverfang n lives now," Gale said coldly. "I will hunt him myself."


    ze lifted his head in fear and asked, "Y-Your Majesty, surely you don''t want to... exterminate our entire n, right?"


    "I''m not that cruel. But if your n deliberately tries to protect him, then I cannot guarantee anyone''s safety," Gale said. Again, he looked and sounded calm, but it was like a thunder that struck everyone who heard it. "Tell your elders to give him up if he dares to return to your n. If he doesn''t return to your n, I''m sure your elder knows a way to track him down. I want a result by the time I arrive at your n''s den"


    "As you wish, Your Majesty!" ze said. Truthfully, he was grieving for Rock, because he was a good leader and also a very cheerful one. But his sin was befitting a death


    sentence.


    ze knew his priority, and as someone who worshiped the strongest, he knew he had to capture Rock once he had sessfully tracked him.


    "Good."


    Gale walked past the people, and ze quickly turned around and asked, "Y-Your Majesty! Aren''t you going to appoint me to be your beta?"


    Gale halted his step. He turned around, staring at the young werewolf who looked excited to rece Rock.

    Truthfully, Gale didn''t have any emotional attachment to Rock, he was objective in his assessment, and after his real beta died, he only appointed the strongest after him to be his beta.


    So, if this young man had the strength then why not?


    Thus, Gale turned around to face ze again, and said, “Get up, and look me in the eye."


    ze followed his King''s instruction, waiting for his next order.


    But Gale said nothing.


    All he did was take off his blindfold a bit, to show one of his eyes, and the moment ze Silverfang made eye contact with Gale, he felt that he couldn''t take a breath at all for the next five seconds, followed by his stomach that churned and his heart that beat like a drum, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.


    "Urgh-URK!"


    ze vomited blood, and so did all the guards who made eye contact with their King. They all fell to the ground and many of them lost their consciousness immediately. Meanwhile, ze was still conscious, but he had no more strength to even lift a finger. He thought that his soul had been sucked out of his body just by staring at the King''s


    eye.


    Gale covered his eyes again, and looked down at ze, "You are not worthy to be my beta. Iwill appoint you once you are strong enough to withstand making direct eye contact with me for more than ten seconds. That''s


    Rock Silverfang''s record." (2
