41 Chapter 41: Have we met before? (II) 

“Have we met before?” Swan asked, and Gale frowned hearing that question. 

“What are you talking about? We are mated for life.” 

“No, but-” Swan knew it was hard to describe because she also didn’t understand how 

she could associate Gale with the kind knight who helped her that night. “I mean, have we met before you took me out of Holy Achate’s Palace?” 

“No,” Gale replied firmly. His past before he met with Swan was dark, filled with curses, war, conquest, and bloodbath. They could never have met before. 

On top of that, Gale didn’t want Swan to see his past self, because he was more of a 

mindless animal than a beastman then. 

never. 

“I–I see… then,” Swan thought. “I was mistaken.” 

“Mistaken?” 

“Mhm, I thought you were the kind knight who helped me once at the palace,” Swan explained. “He is so honorable and kind, but I never get to know his name… or his face.” 

It was late at night when Aria said that she couldn’t sleep, so she told the guards to drag Swan out of her room and tie her up on a tree at the palace ground. Swan was so scared because it was a very dark night in the middle of autumn. The air was so cold, which only worsened the pain in her leg. 

The pain and fear took over her then, so she prayed as hard as she could to Goddess Asmara for a kind and strong man to come and save her. She prayed so hard until she heard the deep and commanding voice of a man who stopped all the torment that she was experiencing. 

“What are you doing to her?‘ 

The guards‘ bodies stiffened instantly, and once they turned their heads at the knight, they all apologized and ran in fear. 

Swan opened her eyes slowly as the knight loosened the rope around her body. Once she was freed, she looked up only to make eye was 

contact with a man whose fac obscured by the darkness. 

It was a moonless night, so she couldn’t identify him at all. 

“T–thank you for helning me Sir M–m–may I know your name?

‘You will know my name eventually, Swan, the kind knight said. “I will find you soon. enough.” 

‘B–but I’m just a maid in this palace, Sir. Why do you want to find me?” 

‘Because you are my other half, Swan; the kind knight replied. ‘Once we reunite, all you need is to call me and I will be by your side, no matter what. I promise.’ 

Swan was stunned because he seemed serious about his promise, but then turned around and walked away from her. 

I–I 

‘W–wait, S–sir! Your name, 1-1 want to know your name!‘ 

Unfortunately, the kind knight never responded. His body was slowly swallowed by the darkness, and Swan was left alone once again. 

Swan might not know that kind knight’s face, but she could identify his voice and also his f 

figure. On top 

p of that, she also had this familiar feeling of security with Gale around. 

‘Am I mistaken? Or maybe I’m just hallucinating? There’s no way that kind knight is Gale since he’s not from Holy Achate.” 

Meanwhile, Gale didn’t like how Swan’s eyes were dazed, and her cheeks began to flush as she told him about this ‘kind knight‘ who saved her back then. He got a little irritated… or perhaps, even a bit jealous. 

Thus, he said, “Stop thinking about another man. I can protect you much better than whoever that knight is.” 

“I–I know. Sorry…” Swan muttered. ‘Ah, maybe I’m just hallucinating. I shouldn’t think about that knight anymore.” 

Gale helped her to sit on the chair as he returned to his seat. They faced each other with a table full of breakfast in front of them, and Gale took the initiative to give her a plate full of grilled meat. 

“I know humans can’t eat raw meat, so I told them to grill it for you,” he said. 

“B–but… it’s too much…” Swan stared at the plate full of meat in front of her helplessly. “I can’t eat them all.” 

“Who are you kidding? You are so thin, you need to eat more meat!” Gale insisted. “I don’t know what’s wrong with the people in your palace, but I want my woman to have more meat in her body.”

Swan gulped when Gale put even more meat on her plate. She rarely ate meat to the point that she could count on one hand how many times she had eaten one while in Holy Achate because it was a luxury reserved only for the aristocrats, high–ranked soldiers, and healthy merchants in Holy Achate.
