Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Seed of Doubt (1)


    "Then, what are you going to do with this information, Mdy? Are you going to find a shaman to dispel her spells?" the servant asked. "I-I feel nothing wrong with my body and mind, but if Princess Swan is truly a witch, then she must be a powerful one, probably born to be one."


    "I suspect the same. Swan must''ve been born with that dark power. I want you to call a shaman as soon as possible but don''t tell anyone in the castle yet. Send the shaman to my room, so I can consult with him," Jade ordered. "For now, I want to talk with His Majesty regarding this matter."


    "But, if His Majesty is deep in the brainwash, wouldn''t it be risky for you, Mdy?"


    "Oh, don''t worry about me. I will find a way to make him doubt her love," Jade smirked.

    Gale was busy in the throne room when Jade suddenly walked in and told the soldier to leave so only the two were left.


    "Why are you here?" Gale asked in an unfriendly tone, which would be mindblowing to any servant who heard it because they thought His Majesty and Lady Jade had a great rtionship. "I told you that I don''t need an advisor anymore, Swan has made a system that is self-running most of the time. She already prepared everything for winter. So, even if she cannot be here for now, she still contributes enough to free you from your duty."


    Jade stayed silent as Gale attacked her with many hurtful words.


    Of course, that didn''t mean she wasn''t angry.


    She was fuming when she heard that Swan had created a system that didn''t need Jade to be around as an advisor or micro-manager anymore. It freed her out of her duty, but it also made her obsolete.


    She wanted to stay by Gale''s side as much as possible, so the new information from that bunny maid could be the way to get back with Gale.


    They were meant to be an Alpha and Luna initially, but he rejected her.


    If she couldn''t be a Luna, then she couldn''t be an Alpha, by allowing their enemies to massacre their pack before.


    "I know. I''m here to discuss an important matter with you."


    "An important matter? If it''s about Long Xiurong again, then I refuse to talk about it. I already give her the best treatment inside this castle, with her own attendant, and main room. But that''s all I can give her because I don''t see her as my bride," Gale said.


    "No, it''s not about Long Xiurong," Jade said. "Though, I''d still want you to consider her since she is meant to be your second bride."


    "Just go straight to the point, Jade. What are you here for?"


    "Mm, I was just wondering about what happened that night in your privateke, when Swan was attacked by Rock," Jade said.


    "And what''s about that?"


    "Rock was in a sudden rut at that time and he was about to rape your mate. But for some reason, Swan was left unscathed while Rock was in a critical condition when we arrived," Jade continued.


    "Isn''t that good? I would''ve killed that traitorous bastard on the spot if Swan was hurt, or even worse..." Gale didn''t want to continue his sentence, because the idea of Swan being touched by another man was enough to send him into fury.


    "It''s good, but it doesn''t make sense, right? Howe a powerless female human survives an attack from Rock Silverfang, the strongest of the Silverfang n, and second strongest after you," Jade mentioned.


    Honestly, that question also haunted Gale for a long time. He was relieved that Swan was unharmed, but it also confused him because Swan was a powerless human. She had no power to defend herself against a werewolf, not to mention someone as strong as Rock Silverfang.


    He asked his wife about the details before, but it would always end up with them arguing about Rock again and again, which frustrated Gale so much. So he stopped asking after a while.


    But that unanswered question remained in Gale''s head.


    Jade had lived long enough with Gale to know that he was also in doubt right now. She intended to double it down and added, "Also, it is simply impossible for Rock to be able to escape the prison, especially after I''ve given him a potent muscle rxant and chained his limbs and neck."


    That was another thorn in Gale''s heart.


    It just didn''t make sense how Rock could''ve escaped. He knew that Jade was a


    potent herbologist. She knew her way around poison and its antidote. He witnessed firsthand how the muscle rxant poison she made was able topletely paralyze an elephant beastman.


    "And what do you think about it? Do you think we have a mole or something?" Gale asked seriously.


    "Mole? Hmm... Perhaps. But rather than that, I suspect magic was used in both situations," Jade assumed.


    "Magic?" Gale frowned. "We don''t have any shamans in the castle."

    "No, no, as in... I suspect someone inside this castle is using magic-probably witchcraft—to protect herself from Rock''s attack that night."


    Gale paused for a moment before he red at Jade, "Are you suspecting my wife


    to be a witch? Do you know what this means? I can kill you right here, right now if


    I want to."


    Jade wasn''t scared at all. She knew that he would NEVER hurt her.


    Jade was the only one left from their Storm Pack. If he killed her, then he killed


    the only remaining memory he had with his beloved pack.


    ''I guess being the only one


    unharmed during that massacre has


    its merit, Jade thought. She maintained her calm and stated, don''t have any evidence to prove my im. But the only logical answer I


    coulde up with for that night incident is that... Swan might''ve been more than just a normal human. She might''ve practiced witchcraft on her own."
