Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 256: Bunny’s Denial

Alice didn’t hide her hostility anymore. She was tired of acting when all she wanted to see was for her enemies, Long Xiurong, Rock Silverfang, and Swan, to die.

Everything she did was for the sake of His Majesty, the Beast King. She wanted to protect him from so many traitors around him, and she had finally succeeded.

"Oh, I can’t wait for the news of the crippled bitch’s death. I will probably become a head maid, or maybe even His Majesty’s personal attendant, because I’ve uncovered the biggest traitor of them all!" Alice boasted. She said it while staring at Long Xiurong, wanting her to react because she couldn’t wait to see Long Xiurong’s despaired face.

Unfortunately, Long Xiurong didn’t show any despair. On the contrary, she was chuckling, as if she just heard something really funny.

"What’s so funny? Ah, I get it, this must be because you’re so scared of your death, right? That’s why you become crazy!"

Long Xiurong’s chuckle turned into laughter. She continued laughing for a good minute before she gradually stopped and replied, "Sorry, what you said just now is so funny, I cannot help but laugh."

Long Xiurong intended to just ignore Alice at first, but since she was talking nonsense, she decided to entertain this delusional bunny for now.

"Do you think that the Beast King will reward you with something?"

"Of course! I’ve uncovered the truth that you and Swan are colluding to bring Rock back to the castle!" Alice exclaimed. "His Majesty is a fair king. He WILL reward me!"

"I don’t think you’d be thrown into jail with me if he wants to reward you with something," Long Xiurong pointed out. "The Beast King will probably execute you just like how he will execute me."

"That’s nonsense! There’s no reason for him to execute me! I am basically his most trusted subject since I don’t hesitate to report what I see!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Do you think what you’ve done will still give you a pardon? Do you not remember that you tried to poison Queen Swan and I? You were colluding with Lady Jade before."

"I did not collude with her! I was forced!" Alice tried to defend herself.

"You can say all you want, but I will give you one simple fact," Long Xiurong paused for a moment. She smiled while looking at Alice as she wanted to savor the gradual look of despair on her face, "I was there in their room when the Beast King and Queen Swan were discussing the punishment for you and Lady Jade before going to the throne room. The Beast King was adamant to kill you and put your head on a stake as he believed that you were colluding with Lady Jade nevertheless. It was Queen Swan who persuaded him not to kill you, because she truly believed that you were forced, and you could show your loyalty to the Beast King after you got your punishment."

"The Beast King was unhappy but still obeyed since it was his wife’s request. The reason why you escaped execution is because of Queen Swan’s plea," Long Xiurong revealed. "But since you told him about Rock’s letter, he doesn’t need to care about his wife’s opinion anymore, and naturally, one of his main agendas is to kill you—the one who colluded with Jade."

Long Xiurong held her laugh as she watched how the realization finally sunk into Alice’s mind and wiped her sneer from her face.

"Had you kept your mouth shut about Rock and I, just like what your punishment is meant to be, you would’ve survived. Queen Swan will lift your punishment by the end of spring, and you can return to your normal life in the castle," Long Xiurong replied. "Too bad, you’re not smart enough not to betray your only savior. Without Queen Swan’s protection, you will be the first one to be executed."

Alice gritted her teeth, "Nonsense! I don’t believe any of your words! Just wait and see, His Majesty will clear me of all charges, and I will be promoted to be the head maid or his personal attendant!"

Long Xiurong shrugged, "It is impossible to cure idiocy, so I won’t bother. I’ll just wait until the day of our execution instead. Oh, and one more thing, do you want to know what kind of punishment did Queen Swan get?"

Alice’s eyes widened. She had been fantasizing about the misfortune that would befall the crippled bitch after her traitorous behavior was exposed.

Unfortunately, the punishment was far from her expectations as Long Xiurong said with a smile, "She is imprisoned inside her room. She cannot leave and can’t meet with anyone, but will still be given the royal treatment. The cat maids are still going to serve her, and she will still be the Queen of the Kingdom of Beastmen. That is all."

Again, Alice felt that she had been dragged into the depths of hell when she learned that even after knowing his wife had betrayed him, the Beast King still loved her as much. Her punishment was so light, it didn’t even sound like a punishment at all!

Since Swan was already crippled, all she could do was stay in her room most of the time. Swan’s punishment was a gentle slap on the wrist compared to Alice’s expectation!

"Y-you must be lying. That’s impossible! His Majesty is not so weak to forgive a traitor! Everyone in this kingdom knows that he hates traitors the most!" Alice snapped. "Look at you. You are stuck in here, waiting for your execution for your betrayal! She should’ve suffered the same fate!"

"The difference is that His Majesty doesn’t love me, but he absolutely loves and adores his wife," Long Xiurong shrugged. "Love can make you do weird, irrational things, such as forgiving your beloved. It’s only natural for him to forgive her, right? I predict that it won’t take long for them to finally make up and then be as sweet and loving as usual."

"And then what about you, Alice?" Long Xiurong grinned. "What will happen to you now?"
