Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Long Xiurong''s Retaliation


    "Alright. We''ve spent way too much time here. Swan''s body is trembling under her nket," Gale said. "We will head back to our room."


    Gale turned his head towards ze and ordered, "Start preparing everything for the year-end festival as I''ve passed the rut without killing anyone. The festival should start next week at least."


    "I can give a few suggestions. The Holy Achate always has a big celebration every year-end. We can decorate the castle and the streets," Swan volunteered.


    "And listen to what Princess Swan has to say, understand?"


    "Yes, Your Majesty," ze kneeled in response to the order.


    Gale and Swan made their way out of the castle grounds into the main hall, where they disappeared once they walked through long corridors heading to their room at the top of a tower, followed by the cat maids as their attendants.


    Everyone held their breaths until the Beast King and Princess Swan were out of the pictures, and once they were gone, the servants immediately gossiped, and the soldiers were busy chanting in euphoria.


    However, the two figures were inplete silence as they were at odds against each other. The air surrounding them was tense.


    "Well, I suppose I don''t have anything to say anymore," Long Xiurong broke the silence between them. "I''m so d His Majesty has made it clear that he has no romantic feelings for you. At least that will kick you down a notch, right, Mdy?"


    "What do you want, Long Xiurong?" Jade asked while keeping her side-re. "Why are you doing this to me? Don''t you realize we need her out of the picture if you ever want to have a chance with Gale?"


    "A chance with the Beast King?" Long Xiurong scoffed. She crossed her arms and said, "Do I even have the chance to begin with? He is already deeply in love with Princess Swan. Why should I fight a losing game? More importantly, why should I fight with you?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "What I mean is..." Long Xiurong took a step toward Lady Jade and stated, "You are the losing side in this castle, Mdy. Why should I stick with you knowing that you will lose? We-women from the Eastern Long Dynasty-prefer to win in every game we y. So I''m not going to be by your side anymore."


    "You-!" Jade felt like she could explode with anger now.


    First, it was Swan who miraculously survived the coldest night with beastly Gale.


    Second, Gale''s deration in front of everyone that he wasn''t in love with her, even though they had been together for so long.


    Third, this bitch who dared to go against her!


    One after another. Nothing went ording to her n at all!


    "You should''ve been grateful to me! I am the one who brings you here!" Jade yelled, and the gossiping servants quieted down instantly out of fear.


    They feared His Majesty''s Beast King the most, but Lady Jade was their second boss. After all, she had all the right to manage the servant. If she disliked a servant and kicked them out of the castle, they would have to return to their tribes while shouldering a lot of shame.


    "Exactly. I agreed to be a bride


    because you told me His Majesty


    will fall in love with me even if he has a harem. You also told me that ↓ can


    be the favored consort. But you never told me that His Majesty is already hopelessly in love with someone," Long Xiurong responded coldly. She had spent a long time thinking in her room, and after realizing that her life in the Eastern Long Dynasty was already over, she wanted to make the best out of her situation, including paying back the woman who ruined her life. "You are a filthy liar, Mdy."


    "That''s it. I will tell Gale to send you back to the Eastern Long Dynasty. You are as


    good as dead to me," Jade said coldly.


    "But can you?" Long Xiurong


    chuckled mirthlessly. "You have no


    more power in this castle, Mdy. Even if you tell His Majesty to kick me out of the castle, what do you think Princess Swan will say That''s right, she will persuade His Majesty to keep me around. Who do you think His Majesty will listen to? I told you I''d rather be on the winning side, so don''t send me any of your poisonous cake and tea anymore. I tossed them all away anyway."


    Long Xiurong turned around and stared at the servants who were secretly obeying Lady Jade more than the Beast King. She had no intention of dealing with them as this matter could be solved by Princess Swan once she felt like it.


    "Move aside," Long Xiurong ordered in amanding tone, and the servants obediently made way for Lady Long.


    Long Xiurong walked into the castle, leaving Jade devastated as she had to deal with another headache today.


    ''No, I shouldn''t think too much about that useless eastern bitch. What can she do anyway? She can''t even leave the castle since she will be killed if she dares to return to the Eastern Long Dynasty,'' Jade told herself, and she gradually calmed down. ''Long Xiúrong is nothing but a nuisance, but Swan is different... she grows from a timid crippled woman into a huge witchy bitch.''


    "M-Mdy..."


    Lady Jade turned her head towards the bunny maid who stood in front of her. She looked terrified and also sad. She bowed deeply before apologizing, "I-I''m sorry


    for-"


    "Stop talking. Go to my room now and tell me what happened. I want the full details," Jade quickly interrupted as she walked away from the castle ground as well.


    Alice followed the Lady from behind, worrying about what would happen next.


    Surely, Lady Jade would spare her, right? She did her best, even though her best wasn''t enough to kill Princess Swan.


    ''I should tell her everything. Maybe we can try another way to kill that witch and save everyone!'' Alice cheered herself as she regained her spirit once more. ''It''s not toote to save His Majesty!''
