59 Chapter 59: Not A Princess 

Swan’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that question. Her body stiffened, and her brain short–circuited because she couldn’t give the merchant a clear answer. 

It was Gale who broke the silence with a question, “What are you talking about? Do not recognize her, or are you just trying to fool me again?”

“N–no, Your Majesty. I am just curious about Your Majesty’s wife. I heard she came from the Holy Achate, but I’d never seen her before. Maybe she is from a small baron noble that-” 

“Say that one more time, and I will rip your head off,” Gale interrupted calmly, but his voice carried so much threat that the merchant from Holy Achate paled instantly and zipped his lips. 3 

Gale was relaxed the whole time until this merchant dared to insult his mate. The smile on his face had vanished, and he was trying his best to suppress his aura because Swan would be affected by it. 

“I didn’t know that the people from Holy Achate have no respect for their Royal Princess. She is Princess Swan of Holy Achate, the First Princess, and my bride,” Gale claimed. “I tolerate you this time because you are my wife’s subject from Holy Achate. Dare you insult her one more time, I will not be so kind.” 

“R–Royal Princess? But we only have-” 2 

“SILENCE!” Gale raised his voice, and the merchants felt that the air around the throne room started thinning. Gale quickly suppressed his aura, which accidentally leaked out when he glanced at Swan. He saw Swan’s complexion was so pale, and her body was shaking. 

He thought it was caused by his aura. 

“You two can leave now. The guards will carry the sack of pearls and escort you to another room,” Gale ordered. 

The merchants exchanged glances again, and the one from Rianel Kingdom shook his head. There was no need to risk their lives over a stupid question. 

Swan watched them leave the throne room, a sign that she was safe from having her real identity exposed. 

Yet, the fear still lingered, and she couldn’t even imagine what would happen once Gale knew that she was just a mere whore’s daughter that was meant to be a sacrifice

for him. 

If he wanted the real Royal Princess, then it would be none other than Aria. 

It was a miracle that she was allowed to keep breathing up until now, and got all the good treatment from Gale. She had to be prepared to die, as that was the fate awaiting her. 

Gale checked on his mate again and began to worry, seeing her still looking pale even though he already suppressed his aura. 

“Swan? Are you alright?” Gale asked. “If my aura is too overpowering for you, I will carry you back to our room so you can rest. Sometimes I can’t control it when I’m angry.” 

Swan shook her head and gave him a sweet, yet sad smile. 

“I’m alright. I’m just a little exhausted since I have to yell just now,” Swan replied. However, she quickly lowered her head when she realized Gale was still staring at her. She felt so guilty because she had been lying to a man who was genuine towards her. It made her sad knowing that everything they had was built based on lies. 2 

She was meant to be his sacrifice. 

And he would mark another woman and eventually ditch her once he found her lacking. 

‘He will inevitably find out, but why do I feel so sad that this mirage of the good life we built would be broken? It’s never real in the first place…‘ Swan lamented. 

Swan thought Gale wouldn’t notice her sadness, but the crease on Gale’s brows deepened as he asked, “Are you sad because that merchant insulted you just now? I pardoned him because he comes from your kingdom, but if you want me to kill him, then give me a second, I will bring you his head-”

“No!” Swan shook her head as hard as she could. She didn’t want to be the cause of someone’s death. “I–It’s fine. I’m not sad because of that. I–I rarely go out of the palace because of my leg, so, naturally, he doesn’t know about me.” 

Gale knew that already. He inquired many things about Swan from her mother, Queen Anastasia of Holy Achate. 

She said that Swan had been crippled since she was young, and her leg made it difficult for her to go around, so she spent most of her time inside her room. Thus, she was not particularly as popular as Aria. However, Anastasia said that Swan was still the official Royal Princess and had a higher status than Aria.

The reason why she was so thin was because she wanted to maintain a good figure as a princess, but Gale wanted to fatten her up because she looked so brittle. 

“Then, should we go to the Holy Achate now? I will tell your mother to announce your status as the Royal Princess of Holy Achate, and make sure everyone knows about it.” 

Again, Swan shook her head, as she didn’t plan to return to her kingdom. Nobody wanted her presence in her kingdom anyway 

“Gale…” 

“Yes, sweetheart?” 

“I… I will try my best to be useful,” Swan murmured. 

“What are you talking about? You’ve done more than enough for me. As long as you’re by my side, I am content,” Gale assured. 1 

Unfortunately, Swan didn’t share the same sentiment, so she kept insisting, “I–I will make sure you will have a stable kingdom, and you don’t need to go to war unless it’s 

necessary.”
