Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Tea Time with Lady Jade and Long Xiurong (II)


    She heard the story about how Gale carried Swan in his arms around the castle, like showing off a treasure that he held dearly.


    She heard about the many nights Gale and Swan spent mating and how their voices filled the castle.


    She also heard about how Swan became the advisor while she was absent, even going as far as establishing a pearl trade that earned them so much gold, much more than Jade could ever do even after she had devoted her life to Gale.


    She also heard how Swan was able to make a sry system, so all the soldiers were even more excited to train and train their offspring to take the mantle once they retired.


    The Kingdom of Beastman was just a barebone kingdom when Jade left, but it had somehow transformed into a much more sophisticated kingdom, with many of the beastmen civilians already doing trades, offering services, et cetera.


    Jade refused to believe that it was all Swan''s doing since that woman was stupid enough to let herself stay in Gale''s privateke with another man. She was nearly raped by Rock, and Jade''s n should have been a sess.


    Unfortunately, something mysterious happened, and Swan miraculously survived that night at theke.


    ''I heard from a few servants that Swan is a witch. If that rumor is true, then that exins everything about what happened that night. She must''ve used her witchcraft to subdue Rock, and then pretended as if she''s just a weakling in front of Gale to rouse his pity,'' Jade sneered. ''What a cunning witch.''


    Knowing that she couldn''t seem to make this woman falter, Jade turned towards Long Xiurong and asked with an oppressive smile, "Lady Long, what do you think of Princess Swan of Holy Achate? Herte father dared to challenge the Beast King and once defeated, she was offered as the prize of victory."


    "T-that is unfortunate, Mdy," Long Xiurong said, but she didn''t dare to look Swan directly in the eyes. She stared at Lady Jade instead and added, "But it cannot be helped, right? At least she is used as an item for a peace treaty."


    "An item, yes," Jade grinned as she turned towards Swan again. "It''s unfortunate, but let me tell you something, Princess. Gale didn''t like his gift at first, all he wanted was to keep you hostage so Holy Achate wouldn''t dare to rebel, but it seems that you have no use anymore as an item."


    Swan smiled back at Lady Jade and replied, "And what''s the difference between me and Lady Long? We are both sent to be the Beast King''s brides to strengthen the bond between our kingdoms and the Kingdom of Beastmen. Considering that I''m not dead yet, I guess he doesn''t hate me as much now."


    Swan should''ve stopped right there as she didn''t want to make the already-hostile Lady Jade even more hostile.


    But she got angry when Jade dared to call her an ''item''.


    Why? Because her love for Gale was real, and she could feel that Gale''s love for her was real as well.


    She wasn''t a mere item for Gale, and that was the most important thing for her. "But it''s quite sad for you, Mdy," Swan added while staring at Lady Jade.


    "Sad? Me?"


    "Mhm. I mean, heard from the servants that you had an argument with Gale after what happened to me that night, and you were instantly sent off for more than six months to the East," Swan said with a calm, but piercing smile. "If one argument is all it takes for me to be sent off, then I''d have been kicked off by Gale long ago since we often argue... in bed."


    Long Xiurong gulped once she realized Princess Swan''s innocent face was truly just a farce because onement from her was enough to send Lady Jade into fury, proven by how her wolf ears and tail popped out, a sign that her emotion was disturbed right now.


    Jade gritted her teeth. It felt like a sharp dagger just pierced her heart. It was even worse because everyone knew that was the truth.


    It only took one argument for Gale to send her off because he prioritized Swan over her.


    Despite the burning rage inside her, Jade still tried to smile in front of Swan and retorted, "Oh my, when did you learn how to be condescending, Princess? Or has


    it been your true nature all along?"


    "I learned from the very best, Mdy. You." Swan replied firmly.


    "You must''ve misinterpreted my words, Princess. I never meant to act condescending towards you. Maybe you''ve been hostile towards me and Lady Long all this time."


    "Oh, really? Then pardon me, it must''ve been an error of my judgment," Swan paused for a moment and added, "But you always sound condescending Mdy. No wonder Gale hates talking with you."


    "HOW DARE YOU!" Jade finally snapped. She got up and released her aura around the room. It wasn''t as strong as Gale-no, it was far weaker, to the point that it only took Swan a deep breath to stabilize herself. "You are just an outsider, what do you know about Gale and I?" freewebnovel


    The cat maids were ready to protect their Princess, and the other servants were ready to find His Majesty as soon as possible before Lady Jade attacked Princess Swan.


    But Swan didn''t budge at all. She


    made eye contact with Jade and


    said, "It seems that I poked at


    spot somewhere. Pardon me, not good atmunication. Surely, the ever-graceful and elegant Lady Jade wouldn''t attack me for a silly mistake, would you?"


    Jade didn''t answer immediately. She knew she was behaving unusual, but this bitch really knew how to push her button, to the point she lost herposure.


    She took a few deep breaths and the wolf ears and tail disappeared.


    Jade sat on her seat and regained her smile, "My apologies, I was just a little annoyed just now."


    "You should regte your emotions better, Mdy. Look at Lady Long Xiurong. She is horrified by what you did just now," Swan pointed out.
