30 Chapter 30: Fools!
Gale jumped from one balcony to another until he reached their bedroom window.
Swan was trembling the whole time, even when he carefully laid her on the bed. Gale gritted his teeth as he didn’t know what to do right now to calm her down, because the more he touched her, the more she would tremble.
Thus, he decided to just check on her condition. He didn’t see anything wrong with her, except with the dress that was a little too revealing for his taste. There was no scratch, not even the dress was ripped whatsoever.
So, she was completely unharmed from the outside.
“Did you get hurt somewhere?” Gale asked, and Swan shook her head.
“Then what happened in the lake just now? Did Rock hurt you?” Gale asked. Swan shook her head again, but Gale didn’t believe her this time. He knew that Rock’s threatening howl was a sign that he had found his supposed mate, and threatened everyone who dared to touch her. “Be honest with me, Swan. I will kill him if you want
him to die.”
“N–n–no. H–he didn’t hurt me- Swan finally opened her lips. Because she didn’t want to hurt someone who truly didn’t hurt her. However, looking at Gale’s judgmental eyes, she realized that she needed to be honest, “He… he suddenly shifted into a wolf, w–with his sharp teeth baring at me, and his t–t–that part fully hard. Then he attacked me. I just closed my eyes because I was afraid, so I didn’t know what happened until you hugged me.”
Gale kept on staring at Swan’s expression. He wore a blindfold, but his eyesight was crystal clear, and with his bond with Swan, he should be able to tell if she was lying or
not.
He realized that Swan wasn’t lying, but that only raised more questions as to what truly happened at the lake just now.
I guess I could only get the answer from Rock, Gale thought. He carefully caressed her cheek and then kissed her lips to calm her down. Swan slowly stopped trembling, but her heart was still beating uncontrollably.
“Calm down, Swan. You are safe here,” Gale assured. “I will tell the cat maids to prepare
a warm bath for you, and then you can rest. Iwill be out for a moment to interrogate

my beta, but I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
Swan nodded, but before he got up from the bed, she grabbed his wrist and asked, “C–c–can I… get a new dress? I… I don’t like this one…”
“You don’t like it?” Gale frowned. “I thought it was you who picked it.”
Swan shook her head, “I–I was given this one don’t like it, because m–my breasts….”
Gale’s gaze cooled off seeing the exposed cleavage. He was patient because he didn’t want to get angry at Swan’s choice of dressing because he didn’t know the culture of the people in Holy Achate.
Now that Swan said she didn’t pick the dress herself, he began to wonder if someone was trying to expose her sweet body to the public. 9
“I will get it done. You should rest for now.”
“T–thank you… Gale…” Swan murmured before she let him go.
He got up and stared at Swan for a few more seconds.
He felt complicated right now. He was ready to lash out at his beta if he dared to touch his mate, but looking at the situation right now, he wasn’t sure which one to blame or if it was justified to get angry at Rock.
Nevertheless, he didn’t want his mate to get hurt, so he left the room to talk with the
cat maids outside.
Myra and Maya were trembling as it gradually became difficult for them to breathe.
Gale was suppressing his aura with Swan around, as he didn’t want to make her faint like what happened in the carriage before.
But he didn’t have any intention to suppress his aura in front of others.
Gale looked down at the kneeling cat maids and asked, “Who told you to give her that dress? My mate told me it wasn’t her choice.”
Maya was trying her best to answer without stammering because the overwhelming aura coming from their King’s body made it impossible for them to even lift their heads.
“I–It was Lady Jade. She told us it’s what the nobles and royals in Holy Achate usually wear,” Maya replied. “W–we are just following orders, Your Majesty.”
“Did you ask Swan about her opinion?”
“P–Princess Swan didn’t say anything…”

“YOU FOOLS!”
“Urk!” Maya’s gaze began to blur as it was really difficult for her to breathe right now, she glanced at her twin sister and saw Myra was already on the brink of losing
consciousness.
“You are serving my mate, my wife, Swan of Holy Achate. Not Jade!” Gale scolded. He didn’t care about them almost losing their consciousness, it was these fools who had their priority wrong. They should’ve cared about Swan’s opinion above all else!?
“S–s–spare us. Your Majesty,” Myra and Maya said weakly.
“Go and tend her, make sure to close the windows and tell two eagle beastmen to stand guard on top of her tower. This is your last warning,” Gale ordered before he rushed downstairs to talk with Jade.
Maya and Myra continued kneeling until their King was far away, then fell on the floor with blue faces. They really thought that they’d die while facing His Majesty’s wrath.
Meanwhile, Jade was in the dungeon under the castle where they held prisoners. She told the guards to tie Rock’s limbs with strong chains, as he was the second most powerful after Gale in their kingdom. She also forced the unconscious Rock to drink a muscle relaxant that she made herself so he wouldn’t be able to break free.
It didn’t take long for Rock to regain his consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes, and as his gaze cleared up, he saw Lady Jade smiling at him. His eyes turned red instantly as he yelled at her.
“YOU! YOU POISONED ME!”
