Chapter 155: Chapter 155: A Warm Dawn (III)


    Alice continued to mutter in disbelief until she joined the rest of the soldiers outside of the cave.


    They all looked sad, but also curious about what happened inside.


    "So, how is it? Does Princess Swan still have her body intact? Or there is nothing left?" ze asked in the most vague way possible so as not to make himself sadder.


    He wasn''t ready to ept Princess Swan''s death.


    ''Oh, how I wish she''s nothing but a bunch of meat gunk and blood. I want that witch to stop charming all of you with her dark spell,'' Alice said in her heart. But she faked her joy and said, "I-It''s a miracle! Princess Swan is alive!"


    "Alive?!"


    "Wait, Princess is alive?!"


    "How could that be!?"


    "What are you saying? Of course she wouldn''t get hurt, His Majesty loves her so much!"


    "I''m so d that she''s safe! I will tell my son about this once we''re back at the castle. He idolizes her!"


    The beastmen soldiers rejoiced together.


    All the somber and depressing mood disappeared instantly, reced withughter and joyful chatter between them.


    It was only Alice who was trying her best not to look angry in front of them, or else they would suspect her.


    Alice was tasked to carry a tray full of His Majesty''s breakfast, and once she entered the cave, she saw that His Majesty was feeding Princess Swan a piece of bread coated with melted cheese.


    "Don''t give me that ''I''m full'' alibi. Eat more, wife. You went through a lotst night," Gale insisted as he force-fed Swan m, who pouted while eating the bread slowly. She was still a slow eater as always, but she didn''t feel like vomiting after eating more than usual anymore, which was already good progress for Gale.


    Alice felt like throwing the tray in her hand to that bitch''s face. She wasn''t in love with His Majesty, because she saw him as a god, just like the rest of the beastmen who were under his rule.


    But she couldn''t help feeling angry seeing how he was so gentle to a crippled witchy bitch who used dark charm to fool him. It was nauseating knowing that she was powerless, even though she meant well.


    All she wanted was to have everything return to normal, to the time when His Majesty was still this magnificent monster who could kill anything. Not this bewitched man who would feed a weak female human.


    ''That dark charm spell is messing with his head! How can he smile in front of a woman like that? It''s just not right!'' Alice protested in her heart but dared not to say anything.


    She served the steak in front of His Majesty and had to witness another nauseating view of Princess Swan, who cut the steak and fed it to the Beast King.


    Gale was still a messy eater, so Swan had to wipe the meat juice at the corner of his lip, "Geez, don''t do this when we host a party with other kings and queens, okay? I want to make sure you look presentable, so they won''t see you as a savage beast."


    "Mm..." Gale nodded. After living with Swan for a while, he had slowly adapted to the etiquette of humans. He still found those etiquettes unnecessary, but it made Swan happy whenever he ate neatly.


    So heplied because Swan liked it.


    Alice was seething right now.


    She had brought food to the Beast King a few times in the past before this witchy bitch came to the castle, and he always ate like a beast.


    After all, he was meant to be a beast! Why would this bitch want him to act like a human?!


    ''She is trying to brainwash His Majesty! She''s trying to make him docile, so he will not fight back once she takes over the Kingdom of Beastmen!''


    Alice''s imagination began to run wild, and it fueled her spirit to help Lady Jade even more.


    ''This can''t be. I have to report everything to Lady Jade and wait for her


    instruction. I will save His Majesty and the Kingdom of Beastmen!''


    "Tell the others to prepare the carriage. We will return to the castle right after my wife finishes her breakfast."


    "... Understood, Your Majesty."


    *


    Alice informed the rest of the beastmen, and they began preparing for the carriage. Once it was ready, Gale carried Swan out of the cave and they stared at the bright blue sky outside.


    "It''s a warm morning," Swanmented. "I like this more thanst night. That red mood was so terrifying."


    "...Thank you for apanying me, even though you were scared," Gale said.


    "W-who''s scared? I''m not scared at all!" Swan denied.


    Galeughed heartily, "No need to hide it from me. I understand. Even I was scared that I would identally hurt youst night."


    ze and the rest of the beastmen soldiers walked toward the Beast King and Princess Swan. They kneeled in front of them and said in unison "Princess, we are so d that you are alive and well!


    Congrattions on passing through the cold night with His Majesty!"


    "You guys have no trust in your King. I will never hurt my wife," Gale scoffed, but


    Swan chuckled as she found it funny.


    "Thank you for worrying about me, and thank you for guarding around the cave while His Majesty went through his rut. I will reward


    everyone here for your merit," Swan said. "Did anyone get hurtst night?"


    "No, Princess! Everyone is unharmed!"


    "That''s good," Swan smiled. "Now, let''s go back to our castle. I''m sure the others are waiting for the good news. They will be happy knowing that the Beast King will not have a problem during his worst ruto anymore."


    "YES! PRINCESS!"


    The beastmen got busy packing everything inside the cave, and Galemented, "It seems they like you more than me."


    "Ah..." Swan didn''t know if Gale would get angry if she identally overstepped


    his authority. "Then, do you want me to stop giving them orders? You are the


    Beast King, after all."


    "And you are my Queen," Gale stated with a proud smile. "You should order them more. So they will get used to it, whenever I am out of the kingdom."
