Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Before The Coldest Night (1)


    The morning before the coldest night finally arrived. The temperature around the castle was bone-chilling for those with thin fur, such as the cow and lizard beastmen, and most importantly, for the humans.


    After suffering a humiliating rejection, Long Xiurong decided to lock herself in her room. She refused any invitation from either Lady Jade or Princess Swan. It was also more convenient that way because the coldness was truly unbearable for humans.


    Meanwhile, Swan was inside her room. She sat in her wheelchair, directly facing the firece because her leg was aching badly in this temperature. The cream given by Matoa to numb the pain didn''t work either, so she was forced to endure the pain while trying not to show any difort in front of Gale.


    After all, she would have to leave with Gale to the cave that evening, so she couldn''t appear weak no matter what.


    Myra and Maya were busy going in and out of the room trying to fetch as many thick nkets as possible since the cave would be too cold for their Princess. They nced at Princess Swan who was shaking even though she sat in front of the firece.


    They looked at each other, and Maya asked, "Princess, are you sure you want to go with His Majesty? The cave is in the southeast and even though they already picked a warmer cave, it would still be too cold for you."


    "Yes, Princess. I''m sure that His Majesty will understand if you can''te. Your health and safety will always be the utmost priority!" Myra added.


    Swan looked over her shoulder and smiled at them, "I will go with him. Don''t tell my husband that I cannot handle the cold. Just tell him that I''m in good health, and will go whenever he''s ready. Understood?"


    The cat maids were worried, but they also felt helpless because Princess Swan''s decision was already firm.


    They had no choice but to follow her instructions and busied themselves with the preparation.


    Meanwhile, on the castle grounds, Gale was busy supervising the preparation needed for their stay. It included food, nkets, logs for at least two big bonfires for the whole night, and most importantly, lots and lots of silver chains to chain him from neck to toe.


    Those giant chains looked intimidating, but Gale was worried because he felt like they were easy to break.


    "Can''t you find a stronger chain in the dungeon?" Gale asked ze.


    "No, Your Majesty. This is already the strongest we could find," ze replied. "Half of them are newlymissioned, so they are of the best quality possible. I will also make sure to put weights around your legster to slow you down, in case you lose your mind again." freewebnovel


    Gale scoffed, "Those things won''t work on me, but I praise your effort. Make sure to have everything ready for my wife as well. She can''t bear the cold."


    "Understood, Your Majesty."


    Gale turned around and headed to his bedroom as he wanted to check on Swan.


    However, he bumped into Jade who was carrying a bottle with a strange, thick purple liquid inside.


    "Oh, d to see you here. I''m about to give this to you," Jade said as she handed the bottle to Gale.


    Gale didn''t ept it immediately. He saw the strange purple drink and asked, "What''s inside?"


    Vl


    "Did you forget? This is the traditional medicine that I''ve prescribed just for you. It has a muscle rxant effect and will knock you out cold for a few hours. Should be enough to make you feel at ease for the whole night and not harm your little mate," Jáde exined with a smile. "You should drink this right before you get


    chained, that''s the best time because the calming effect will take a moment to react."


    ???


    ''So nobody will be able to save that little crippled bitch once you lose your mind, Gale,'' Jade silently added. ''Oh, I can''t wait to see your reaction when you realize that you''ve been fucking a pool of bloody meat gunk.''


    Gale finally epted the bottle of mysterious purple drink and muttered, "I will keep that in mind. Thank you for helping me, Jade."


    "You are wee," Jade chuckled. "It''s my duty to protect you from harm, right? I want to ensure you stay sane, even if I have to get rid of stuff."


    "Get rid of stuff?" Gale frowned.


    "As in, your rampage. I have to get rid of your rampage and hopefully cure your curse somehow," Jade rified. "You should give that bottle to a servant. I''m afraid you''d break it if you keep it in your hand."


    "Hm, then you should do it for me. I have to meet with Swan right now," Gale said. "I''m worried about her. Since the cave will be very cold."


    "Then, I''ll give it to the servant. So they won''t forget it," Jade said as she snatched the bottle from Gale''s hand.


    She didn''t want Swan to know about this drink, because she seemed to have noticed that Jade used poison on her tea. She must''ve warned Long Xiurong as well since Long Xiurong rejected everything she sent to her.


    If Swan saw this purple liquid, she''d tell Gale to toss it out, and her n would be ruined.


    "Be sure to drink it as soon as you


    drink


    are in the cave, alright? Don''t forget to drink it quickly, because the effect will wear off if it''s exposed to open air for too long," Jade emphasized to minimize the risk of Swan stopping Gate from drinking this thing.


    "Yeah, yeah, no need to nag me," Gale scoffed before leaving.


    Jade stared at Gale''s back, and a wide grin appeared on her face, ''Go and have yourst conversation with that woman, Gale. Soon, she will be nothing but a bloody mess you can stick your dick in.''


    Jade hummed happily as she couldn''t wait for the result of her n toe to fruition.
