Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 62

62 Chapter 62: Bored Aria (III) 

Queen Anastasia strutted through the long corridor towards her daughter’s room. She was followed by an entourage of maids who reported everything Princess Aria did that day, and some of those reports raised her concern. 

She knocked on the door, and the maids outside opened the door for her. 

Aria was sitting on her bed in her nightdress while inspecting the pearls she purchased today. She was captivated because after checking every single pearl out of the dozen the merchant brought today, none of them had the slightest bump or even a dent. They were perfect. 

Queen Anastasia was concerned seeing how much her daughter loved those pearls to the point that she ignored her own mother. It was a dozen rounds of pearls, but she had been collecting many pieces of jewelry since she was young, surely it wouldn’t be that fascinating, right? 

“Aria, I’ve heard from the head butler that you bought those pearls for four gold coins each,” Queen Anastasia said. “We might be wealthy for a country, but we have been going through a difficult time right now after your father’s death. We can’t splurge on unnecessary items.” 3 

Facing her mother’s scolding, Aria didn’t show any displeasure. She knew her mother was weak–willed when it came to her, so she replied calmly, “I’m sorry, Mom. But I bought this because I want to help you.” 

“Help me?” Queen Anastasia frowned. “And how could a regular pearl help me?” 

Aria smiled. She told everyone to leave the mother–daughter pair alone and closed the door so they could talk privately. 

“Come here, Mom. Let me show you something cool!” 

Queen Anastasia sat at the edge of the bed as Aria handed her the pearl. “This is a perfect pearl from the West Sea. It has no dent or bump, and you know how the merchant gets these? It was that savage Beast King who harvested it from the West Sea, and sold it for two gold coins each.” 

Queen Anastasia rubbed the pearl with her finger, and her daughter was right. This pearl was very lustrous, with a surface as smooth as glass, which made it twice more expensive than a regular round pearl. 

“This must be extremely rare, isn’t it?” Queen Anastasia asked.

“Well, apparently, since that savage beast has control over the West Sea, it’s easy for him to harvest it, and monopolize it, since no humans can gather pearls from that sea anymore,” Aria explained. “And you know who proposed this idea to him? Swan.” 

Queen Anastasia lifted her head instantly, staring at her daughter in disbelief, “That cripple? That whore’s daughter?” 

“Yep, that malnourished, crippled whore is still alive!” Aria confirmed. She huffed as she had been increasingly irritated at that fact. “I don’t know what happened in that Kingdom of Beastmen, but I suppose that savage beast is just a beast in the end, he must’ve been intrigued by Swan because she is a human. She’s not even pretty.” 

“Do you think he fell in love with that cripple?” 

“Obviously. I mean, the pearl monopoly is Swan’s idea, so I’m sure he is head over heels 

for her,” Aria said. “That’s why, I have a brilliant idea, Mom.” 

“And what would that be?” Queen Anastasia asked, but her eyes were glued on the pearl 

the whole time. 

She was also hypnotized by the pearl’s lustrous beauty, especially under the chandelier. She wasn’t a big fan of pearls compared to gemstones, but this pearl was 

too stunning to ignore. 

“I’m wondering if I should seduce that savage instead,” Aria wondered, and her suggestion stole Anastasia’s attention. 

“Don’t be stupid, Aria. We both know how that will end,” Queen Anastasia rebuked. “He will be utterly bewitched by your beauty since he is just a mindless beast, and he will demand you as his bride. You are my only child, I don’t want to lose you.” 

“Mom, that pearl is the proof of his tenderness,” Aria convinced in full seriousness. “It seems that the Beast King will do anything for the one he loves since he would harvest the pearls from the West Sea just because that cripple wants it.” 

“Now, imagine if a princess–A REAL one–which is ten times prettier than that whore’s daughter, becomes his new lover? Don’t you think that he would give the world for me?” Aria said. “He would probably kiss my feet due to infatuation.” 2 

Aria was hiding when a giant black wolf entered the Palace grounds, but she imagined the Beast King with his wolf ears and tail wagging as he worshiped her as his Queen. 

It sent a shiver down Aria’s spine as she got extremely excited. 

“Holy Achate will recover all the damage and financial loss as long as I can make sure the Beast King falls in love with me” Aria continued. “We might even rule the world as

long as he is on our side!” 

Queen Anastasia hummed for a second. She loved her daughter so much that she was worried about her safety, but this idea was not bad. 

After the war that caused her husband’s death, the economy in Holy Achate was in shambles, and Anastasia was stressed out because people didn’t like her as much as her husband. Since the Beast King was extremely powerful, she could use him as a one–man army that would expand Holy Achate while taking as many valuable natural resources as she could to further strengthen her position. 

Queen Anastasia considered the idea for a moment while staring at her daughter; between her precious daughter or solidifying her position as Queen of Holy Achate. 

Naturally, she chose the latter.
