Beast King'S Crippled Mate

25 Chapter 25: Around the Castle

"Our queen?” The beastmen looked at each other before staring at Swan. They all tacitly agreed that Princess Swan was gorgeous. Yet, she looked timid and feeble.

Could a timid and weak human like her lead the kingdom?

They all doubted it. O

But of course, they dared not to voice their discontent. They kneeled lower and said in unison, “Please forgive us, Princess!"

Meanwhile, Swan was frozen on the spot. She blanked out because everyone's eyes were on her.

It reminded her of that time when she was a child. Aria lied to everyone that Swan stole her necklace, and the guards quickly surrounded her and beat her up before dragging her to the edge of a window. It had become a constant nightmare for her, and that nightmare still paralyzed her.

Swan snapped out of her daze and stammered her answer, "P-p-pardoned. L-1-leave

"You heard her. You may leave now and spread to the others that I am Princess Swan's protector. You are dismissed."
