Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Gossip Bunny


    Alice was caught off guard when she got yelled at. She looked at Lady Long with her mouth agape, "I-I don''t know what you''re talking about, Mdy. I did nothing wrong!"


    "You did nothing wrong? Hah! You are feeding me false information. I thought that Princess Swan is infertile, so I came to the throne room today to meet with His Majesty to offer myself, so I can be the mother of his cubs while he spends his time with Princess Swan," Long Xiurong spat out in frustration. "But do you know what I get? Humiliation! He told me that my scent was not as good as Princess Swan''s. He also told me that he would never get anyone pregnant if it''s not her."


    "B-but that''s impossible because Princess Swan is..."


    "She is not barren! None of them are barren. He said it''s something else that makes it difficult for them to have offspring!" Long Xiurong had never yelled at any of his attendants before. In the Eastern Long Dynasty, she was one of the most magnanimous princesses, and she was very soft-spoken.


    It was the reason why she got picked to marry the Beast King, as the said Beast King was infamous for having a temper.


    But she had been misled and humiliated this time, and the only one she could me was this bunny who was feeding her this misleading information.


    "You should know that His Majesty asked me who fed me this stupid gossip. I could''ve just told him that it was YOU, a bunny maid named Alice who did that." Long Xiurong narrowed his eyes, and Alice was instantly terrified as she knew it would be her death sentence. "But I didn''t tell him that. I protected you because I still see some use of you. You should be grateful because I just saved your life."


    Alice was so terrified that her legs were shaking. To die in the hands of their Beast King was honorable, but if she was to be branded as a traitor before getting killed, then nobody-not even his tribe or family-would even dare to pick up her corpse after the execution. They would think of her as a lowly traitor who deserved to rot in the street.


    "I-I''m sorry, Mdy. I just want to let you know about things I heard from other servants. I didn''t mean to feed you false information," Alice shakily apologized.


    Long Xiurong rolled her eyes. She felt a little guilty for snapping at her maid, which was very unsightly of her, but she was too upset to care about that right


    now.


    Thus, rather than continuing her scolding, she simply waved her hand and said, "You can leave now. I need some time alone."


    Alice bowed politely and scurried out of Lady Long''s room. Once she was out, Alice finally showed her anger.


    ''Why am I the one getting med for her stupidity? I never told her to go and meet with His Majesty like an idiot, right?'' Aliceined in her heart. ''Ugh, I take back my words. Lady Long is not suitable for His Majesty. She''s either stupid, or maybe she''s too far gone and has been hypnotized by Princess Swan until she has turned into an idiot.''


    ''If only Princess Aria is here. She is much smarter and prettier. She can definitely steal His Majesty''s attention, unlike Lady Long.'' Alice missed the beautiful Golden Princess from the Holy Achate. ''I have to tell Lady Jade about this. She is the only one I can trust right now.''


    Alice immediately went to Lady Jade''s room to report everything she had experienced, just like usual.

    Jade had just finished telling her servants to prepare all the herbs necessary to make the ''traditional medicine'' she promised Gale when she heard a knock on the door.


    Alice walked inside the room with red eyes, as if she had just bawled her eyes.


    Jade had understood the


    importance of this bunny maid. She might not be important enough, but she was very gossipy and would absorbany kind of


    information-whether it was true or false-as an undeniable fact. This made her a very suitable tool for Jade to exacerbate the rumors about Swan around the castle.


    "Oh my, what''s wrong with you?" Jade asked.


    Alice stood in front of Lady Jade and muttered, "Mdy... I think Princess Swan has destroyed Lady Long''s mindpletely."


    Jade was genuinely surprised by that statement, "Really? Exin to me why so."


    "I told Lady Long about Princess Swan being infertile, then she went to His Majesty and asked if she could be the mother of his cubs!" Alice reported. "She got humiliated by His Majesty, and then she med me for it even though it was all her fault for being stupid!"


    No matter how much Alice thought about it, she still felt resentful towards Lady Long. That


    resentment pushed her to continue without mincing her words, "I-think she''s too far gone. She spent too much time with Princess Swan, so I believe she has beenpletely under her control. That''s why she can''t think straight and do


    something stupid like this."


    Jade grinned.


    She really liked this bunny, because she was so gossipy and could create a ridiculous and sensational theory that would feed the masses with gossip.


    All Jade had do was encourage


    Lovel.n


    her even more. "If that''s the case, then you should tell the others to more careful because Princess SwanCan turn someone intoplete idiot. They need to distance themselves as much as possible, so they won''t be affected by her dark charm as well. Understood?"


    "Y-Yes, Mdy!" Alice nodded. "But, I wonder if I should continue serving Lady Long. She scolded me just now, and I''m hurt. Can I serve you instead, Mdy?" ''You are more useful as Long Xiurong''s attendant, though,'' Jade responded in her heart. "Hm, I have all my attendants already. You should continue serving Lady Long. Don''t worry, as long as you do your job well, I will promote you to be my attendant instead. Understood?"


    Alice regained her joy. She nodded happily and said, "Understood, Mdy!"
