51 Chapter 51: Pearls

Swan had long accepted that she would never be able to walk normally, but faced with the idea of a way to cure her leg, she got excited, and her excitement overflowed from her eyes.

She stared at her husband full of hope, and Gale caressed her hair, "I'll start searching for the best beastman healer, but you have to wait."

"I can wait!” Swan had been enduring the pain in her leg for more than a decade, waiting was not a problem for her.

“Good. You're quite strange for a royal princess, you know that?”

"S-strange?" Swan feigned her innocence as she didn't want to be discovered. "W-what is strange about me?"

"I've been in contact with many princesses from human kingdoms, and many of them are either stubborn or scheming. I've never been at ease around them,” Gale said. “But with you, I can be at peace," Gale smiled, before chuckling awkwardly. "I guess that's a given, because you're my mate, right?"

Gale waited for Swan to say yes, or at least nod to confirm that they were mated. He wanted that false sense of security between them, despite him being unable to identify

his mate at all..

But Swan stayed silent, mostly because she had understood the gist of his curse just by talking to Rock before.

Rock didn't have a curse like Gale, and he could only mark one mate for his entire life, but Gale would mark many in the future.

So, Swan knew that she definitely wasn't his fated mate.

"Swan?" Gale frowned. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Mm..." Swan nodded weakly before looking down, and it was enough to assure the Beast King.

Swan fiddled with her fingers nervously.
