Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Bunny''s Report


    Alice followed Lady Jade through a corridor that seemed to have no end until they stopped in front of her room.


    The servants at the front opened the door, and they entered Lady Jade''s room together.


    Alice stood stiffly while watching Lady Jade sat on her chair and crossed her legs.


    "Come here," Jade beckoned while gesturing at a spot next to her chair. "Kneel."


    Alice kneeled obediently as her Lady wished.


    Jade looked at her without expression, silently raised her hand, and—


    PA!


    She pped the bunny maid right on her face until Alice fell on the ground, grimacing in pain as a burning pain assaulted her cheek.


    However, she silently endured it and kept her mouth shut. Slowly, she gathered herself and returned to her kneeling position.


    "Phew, I feel better now," Jade sighed. She smiled at the bunny maid and said, "Sorry for that. I was just a little vexed about the whole thing, and since I cannot punish anyone right now, you will suffice. Besides, that''s also a punishment for failing the task."


    "I understand, Mdy," Alice replied while rubbing her cheek. "I deserve the p. I was also disappointed in my own incapability to fulfill the mission."


    "It''s good that you understand your shorings," Jade praised insincerely. "Now tell me what truly happened. There is no way Swan would''ve survived if Gale drank the purple drink that I made." fre?webnovel


    "Princess Swan seems to have a suspicion about the drink you made, Mdy. But I swiftly blocked her sight with my body until His Majesty drank everything. I


    thought it was a sess because His Majesty went on a rut shortly after he got chained," Alice reported. "All of the soldiers-including me-were also suppressed by His Majesty''s aura. It was so powerful that I thought I would die, even though we were so far away from the cave."


    "But then... his aura just disappeared, and nothing happened after that."


    "Disappeared? How long did itst?"


    "Um... about two to three hours, Mdy."


    "Three hours?! That aura onlysted for three hours?!" Jade eximed in disbelief. Usually, Gale would release his aura nonstop, and it would get stronger and stronger until he turned into his true castle-sized ck wolf.


    Combined with the rut potion that she made, he should''ve been rampaging for at least a week.


    "Are you sure he drank everything?"


    "I did! I even picked up the bottle to make sure that His Majesty drank your


    potion!" Alice firmly stated. "It was so strange because I''d been told that His


    Majesty would turn into his true wolf form during the coldest night, but he didn''t. In fact, he didn''t even leave the cave during his rut."


    "He didn''t leave the cave?!"


    Alice nodded, don''t know what truly happened inside the cave, Mdy. I think it''s impossible for her to stay alive with no wound at all for the whole night. I believe Princess Swan is a powerful witch who used her dark spell to fool His Majesty. She must''ve been so powerful that even His Majesty''s curse is no match for her dark spells!"


    Jade was astonished by all the information from Alice.


    What Alice said was reasonable. There was no way Swan could survive without any intervention of witchcraft.


    She thought the idea of Swan being a witch was just a baseless rumor she could use to make everyone go against Swan.


    But now she was convinced that bitch was an actual witch!


    ''How can she survive after all that? Gale told me that he''s immune to any dark spell because his curse came from the Moon Goddess. herself. No spell cast by any weaker being should affect him. Does that mean Swan is the devil?'' Jade shook her head slightly to get back on track. ''Okay, I think I''m thinking way too far. She''s probably using something else-a trick-to appease Gale. He has no idea what happened whenever he was in a rut, so Swan could''ve tricked him and said that they have mated.''


    The more Jade theorized about what happenedst night, the more her expression darkened.


    Because that meant she wasn''t dealing with a crafty woman. She was dealing with a powerful and cunning witch who already had Gale dancing in her palm.


    "This is dangerous," Jade murmured, and Alice was terrified when she heard that. Lady Jade had always been the brain of the kingdom. She knew everything and could tackle every problem effortlessly.


    If she got nervous, that meant the problem was far too severe.


    "There could also be a slim chance that Swan is truly Gale''s fated mate," Jade murmured as she was talking to herself.


    "No! That can''t be!" Alice snapped.


    "Hm?" Jade nced at the bunny maid. "Why not? Up until now, we still don''t know who his fated mate is."


    "But His Majesty is our God! He is almighty and powerful. He is honorable and immortal. How could his fated mate be a crippled, ugly witch?!" Alice protested. "Mdy, please don''t say such a thing. It really makes me sad!"


    "Then, who do you think deserves to be his fated mate?"


    "YOU!" Alice eximed. "Mdy, you have been with His Majesty for a long time. You are smart, capable, and strong. I don''t see anyone else that can be His Majesty''s fated mate other than you!"


    Jade was surprised by this bunny''s outburst, but she would be lying if she said she wasn''t ttered.


    She knew she wasn''t Gale''s fated mate, but it was still nice to have someone believe in her.


    After all, we all needed allies in life, right?


    "You''re right," Jade nodded. "Gale and I have been going through thick and thin together. I was the one who apanied him when Storm Pack got massacred because of an е unnamed traitor. He has nobody else except me by his side.


    "That''s right! I will do everything so His Majesty will snap out of that crippled


    bitch''s dark charm!" Alice vowed. "Don''t worry, Mdy. You have me by your side no matter what!"
