Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 69

69 Chapter 69: Mysterious Magic 

Aria’s jaw dropped as she kept staring at her hand. 

Her hand was fine; no exposed flesh and bone. There was not even a single scratch, as if everything that happened with Swan before was just her hallucination. 

“T–this can’t be. I remember my skin slowly melted, and I could see my bones!” Aria insisted. “I–I lost my hand entirely! Your Majesty, you have to believe me!” 

Gale was pissed. Had it not for her status as Swan’s sister, he would’ve gotten her kicked out of the castle as soon as possible. 

“I think you’re hallucinating, Princess,” Gale said. “Swan told me that you suddenly turned hysterical, crying and screaming before you fainted. Did something happen on your way to my castle?” 

“She’s lying!” Aria exclaimed. “Your Majesty, I’m telling the truth. Swan is a witch! She used her spell to burn my hand and then restore it, so everyone would think that I’m hallucinating!” 

“Enough!” Gale got up from the seat. “I think you need more rest, Princess. I will call the doctor to check on you. Though, I’m not sure if there is any beastman doctor who can cure your symptoms.” (1 

Gale left Aria, who was fuming with anger as she realized that the Beast King didn’t believe her. 

But as she gradually calmed down, she speculated that Swan might already have everyone in this castle under her spell, so nobody felt something wrong had happened. “I know that I’m not hallucinating. The pain is real, and I saw my hand melted before I fainted,” Aria told herself. “But how and when did she learn how to use dark magic? Did she learn it in the Holy Achate? How come I’ve never seen it before?” 

Many questions lingered in her head, and Aria knew she needed to find out everything Swan had done in this castle first to get her answer. 

‘She must’ve used her charm spell to charm Gale as well. That’s why he treats her so well, Aria convinced herself. “There is no way the Beast King would prefer an ugly and dirty woman like Swan without dark magic. Its just not logical!‘

Swan was sitting on her bed after the disastrous tea time with Aria two hours ago. She was waiting for Gale to return and tell her if Aria was alright. 

The door was finally opened, and Gale walked in with a disgruntled mood. He sat silently on the bed for more than ten seconds until Swan asked, “S–so, is she alright?” 

“She is unharmed, but I’m not sure what caused her to hallucinate. She keeps saying that her hand melted, and you are a witch who cast dark magic on her.” 

Swan swallowed her saliva as she was nervous. She tried to act natural as she was afraid that Gale would suspect her, “I–I’m not a witch. E–even if I am, I will never hurt you.” 

Gale snorted, “Why do you need to say that? Of course, you’re not. How could a witch be as cute as you?” 

“A–and I’m not cute,” Swan murmured. 

Gale smiled and patted her head, “Your sister is probably exhausted after a long journey. Let her rest for now and meet her again tomorrow, alright?” 

“Mm…” Swan nodded as Gale lay next to her on the bed. 

Swan buried her face on his chest as she felt safe in his embrace. 

Truth to be told, Aria wasn’t hallucinating at all. 

When Swan opened her eyes again to check on her, she saw that Aria’s entire hand up to her wrist had been melted until there was nothing but bones. 

Swan panicked, as she never expected that Goddess Asmara would protect her by burning Aria’s hand off until it melted. 

Of course, Swan didn’t want Gale to know that she had such a mysterious power. It might cause suspicion that she was the one who helped Rock to escape. Thus, in the midst of panic, she prayed as hard as she could while closing her eyes that Aria’s hand would return to normal. 

The moment the door was slammed open and Gale entered the room, Swan opened her eyes and saw that Aria’s hand had turned to its original state, but she was still 

unconscious. 

Swan was questioned by Gale, and also by the cat maids about what happened inside the room just now, and she simply replied that Aria suddenly screamed and fainted. 

Swan rarely lied, but she thought it was better to lie now if she wanted to keep her position safe.

Swan spent the whole night thinking about her magic. She knew that her magic was
