Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 267: Off with the Bunny’s Head!

"QUEEN SWAN IS A WITCH!"

"QUEEN SWAN IS A WITCH!"

"QUEEN SWAN IS A WITCH!"

Alice repeated the same sentence thrice in a row, to ensure everyone in the city square could hear her loud and clear.

Just as she expected, everyone in the city square was silenced, which was a sign that they were all questioning the authenticity of her claim, and Alice didn’t want to ruin the last chance in her life.

"QUEEN SWAN HAS BEEN USING DARK MAGIC TO SEDUCE THE BEAST KING! SHE IS NOTHING BUT A CRIPPLED WITCH!"

...

"THAT CRIPPLED BITCH SWAN IS A TRAITOR AND A SLUT! SHE EXCHANGED LETTERS WITH ROCK SILVERFANG AND SLEPT WITH HIM WHEN THE BEAST KING WAS AWAY!"

...

"SWAN IS NOW IMPRISONED FOR HER SIN! SHE WILL DIE A CRIPPLED WITCH! AHAHAHAHA!"

...

There was zero response from the beastmen who were watching her execution, which she thought was a good sign since everyone must’ve been weighing her words.

However, an old fox beastman broke the silence and yelled, "What is this crazy bunny talking about? Our Queen has been good to us! She is not a witch!"

"She is very beautiful and angelic! She is not a witch!"

"She helps us all with her ration! She is not a witch!"

"She makes our city better and safer! She is not a witch!"

"She is our beautiful Beast Queen! She is not a witch!"

"SHE IS NOT A WITCH!"

"SHE IS NOT A WITCH!"

"SHE IS NOT A WITCH!"

Alice’s face, which was already pale, turned even paler. She desperately tried to rebuke all of these non-stop chanting from the people.

"No! All of you have been bewitched! You are going to be sacrificed by her! She is—"

"Just cut her head already! How dare you call our Queen a witch!"

"Yes! Off with the bunny’s head!"

"OFF WITH THE BUNNY’S HEAD!"

"OFF WITH THE BUNNY’S HEAD!"

Alice looked at the masses who demanded her death in despair. She had lost all of her hope now. All she could think of was her life in the castle, and how beautiful it was before Swan came and ruined everything.

’It’s all her fault. Had she not come to the castle, the Beast King would still be the same monster. He will be cruel, cold, and won’t show all those weaknesses in front of Swan.’

’Had she not come, I wouldn’t have been involved. I could have lived my life peacefully in the castle!’ Alice gnashed her teeth as she was burning with fury. ’I am never wrong. All I did was help my people! Beastmen are meant to be stronger, why should we get ruled by a mere crippled human?!’

’I WILL go to heaven. I know Swan is not the real Saintess, the real one is Aria! She will come to me and lift me to heaven, and I will be victorious in the end!’

Alice had a big grin as she wasn’t scared of death anymore. She was convinced that she would go to heaven by Saintess Aria’s holy grace. She looked at the sky as her grin widened, "I will die as a martyr and go to heaven."

The soldiers were meant to tell the masses the reason why this bunny maid was going to be executed today. But seeing how she slandered Queen Swan even in the face of death, they thought it wasn’t necessary to announce her mistakes anymore.

The executioner was one of the young soldiers who had been idolizing Queen Swan for so long. Of course, he dared not to imagine her beauty on his bed as they knew she was their Beast King’s mate, but he still worshiped her just like the rest of the young soldiers.

He had been angry at this bunny for slandering his Queen, so he looked at his general, and when the general nodded at him. He lifted his sharp axe high, aiming at the bunny’s neck.

SLASH!

It only took one chop from the axe for Alice’s head to be severed, and rolled out of the wooden stage.

Alice’s head fell in front of the beastmen citizens who had been angrily chanting for her death, so when her head landed on their feet, everyone started stomping, kicking, and spitting on it.

The executioner looked at his general again as he was ready to take the head from the citizen and then put it on a stake.

The general sighed, "Let them have it. They must be furious after that bunny slandered our Queen. We’re not ordered to put her head on a stake anyway."

Thus, the soldiers left the city square while dragging Alice’s headless body. They planned to burn it just like what they did with Lady Jade before.

The beastmen in the city square gradually dispersed in a grumpy mood. They were still annoyed at that bunny for slandering Queen Swan, but they still had things to do since the snow was melting, a signal that spring was just around the corner.

Hence, the ones left in the city square were a bunch of beastmen kids who used Alice’s head as a ball and started kicking it around.

They had fun until a woman wearing a hoodie suddenly appeared behind the beastman boy who was holding Alice’s head and asked, "Little boy, can I have that head?"

The beastman boy didn’t know what species of beastman this woman was, since she was wearing a hoodie to cover her ears. However, the woman had such an intimidating gaze that he quickly handed Alice’s head to her before leaving with his friends.

The woman took Alice’s head and went to a secluded area of the city to check on the head.

Alice’s face was already unrecognizable since it was getting stomped and kicked around by hundreds of people. Looking at the grotesque state of the head, the woman chuckled and muttered, "Oh, Alice, do you think you’re so smart after betraying me, huh? What a dumb bunny. We could’ve killed that bitch Swan in another way, but you decided to ruin everything."
