Beast King'S Crippled Mate

Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: The Cat Maids

Swan didn't know how long it had been since she lost consciousness. The moment she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a tall ceiling, with a chandelier hanging in the middle.

She looked to her left and right and noticed that she was on a comfortable bed-so comfortable that she thought she was dreaming because laying on a soft bed was only possible when she was in such a deep sleep with a beautiful dream.

Yet, she knew it was true, especially when she felt the cold night wind blow from the window and made her shiver.

She got up from the bed, looked around once more, and got even more confused.

Obviously, this was a castle used for defense. Swan overheard the conversation between the knights that they hated the garrison because they had to live in a cold and dark castle in the winter.

So, why was she here and not with her new husband?

'Does that mean I have been—' Swan didn't want to complete that line of thought. She got up from the bed, but she couldn't stand without her crutches. She began to look around in panic, hoping to find anything she could use to support herself as she wanted to get out and find out if she had been abandoned by her husband.

Since she couldn't find anything, she decided to just drop herself from the bed, making a creaking sound as she squeaked in pain.

The door was slammed open and Swan saw two women with cat ears and tails gasping.

"Princess!" They said in unison as they rushed towards her.

Swan's body stiffened, mostly because it was a bodily reaction. She had been conditioned to stay still in case servants were approaching her, because the more she struggled, the worse the beating she would get.

Yet, all they did was put her back on the bed and cover her legs with a blanket.
