Beast King'S Crippled Mate

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Bunny's Teary Confession (1)

Alice was resting in the kitchen, eating her breakfast, when the cat maids entered with solemn faces.

Their eyes darted towards Alice at the same time, and Alice lowered her head as she was trying to hide her smirk, 'So, that bitch Long Xiurong has found a way to convince Swan, huh? Oh well, it's time to act accordingly. Thankfully, Princess Aria already told me how to steal Swan's heart in this situation.'

Thus, Alice quickly hid her grin when the cat maids called her, "Alice. Come with us."

"Huh?" Alice lifted her head and stared back at the cat maids with innocent eyes. "Is there something wrong?"

The cat maids looked at each other. Truthfully, they were as confused as she was.

They never thought that someone like Alice would create a problem to the point that Princess Swan would look so solemn.

They knew that their Princess was very tolerant of many things. Alice must've done something bad to grant her rage.

"Come with us," Maya said. "Princess Swan has summoned you."

"S-summoned by Princess Swan? But why?" Alice asked, still maintaining her innocence and ignorance. "Is there something wrong with the food? Oh wait, it's not me who cooks it."

"We don't know either, but she summons you to her room, right now," Myra said to add urgency.

Alice was still pretending to be dumb, but she obeyed and followed the cat maids.

"I wonder if I accidentally did something to offend Her Majesty," Alice muttered as she walked side by side with the cat maids.

The cat maids were feeling conflicted as well. They had known Alice for a long time. Alice was just a young bunny when she came to the castle to work and had been a very cheerful girl.

Thus, they silently hoped that nothing bad would happen to Alice.

'Surely, Princess Swan wouldn't be too cruel just because Alice makes a little mistake, right?' the cat maids thought in unison.

They stopped in front of the door. Maya knocked on the door, and after being permitted by Princess Swan, they entered the room together with Alice.

Alice maintained her innocent look and ignorance. She acted bashful as she bowed politely with the cat maids.

"Good morning, Your Majesty. Myra and Maya said that you've summoned me. Did I do something wrong?" Alice asked.

She wilfully ignored Long Xiurong, acting as if she didn't exist in this room.

Swan was a little nervous because she had never been in this situation before. However, her rage was stronger than her nervousness, as she knew this bunny- despite looking innocent-was malicious enough to poison Long Xiurong's food throughout the week.

If it hadn't been for Rock's intervention, Long Xiurong would've been dead by now, and Swan would have been the next target.

Swan looked at the cat maids, who were genuinely concerned about the situation. She guessed that the cat maids must've been completely oblivious to what Alice had done, and also had been maintaining a good friendship with Alice.

Thus, she decided to let the cat maids watch, so they would not show any pity for Alice.

"Why don't you ask the one you attended," Swan said as she glanced at Long Xiurong. "Lady Long, do you have something to say?"

Long Xiurong had been holding back her rage over this cruel bunny and said, "You should admit what you've done to my food for the past week right now, or the punishment from Princess Swan would be more severe."

"Huh? Uhm... I don't understand," Alice responded meekly, though she was seething inside.

She knew what this bitch Long Xiurong had in mind. She wanted to bait Alice to admit everything, which would destroy the plan given by Princess Aria.

Thus, while cursing Long Xiurong in her heart, Alice kept her ignorant facade. "Don't pretend to be stupid! We both know what you did!" Long Xiurong yelled.

"I-I don't understand, Milady," Alice murmured, and she jolted when Long Xiurong yelled at her. Her eyes began to glaze with tears. "I-I'm sorry if I did anything wrong, but I don't understand..."

"You-!"

"Calm down, Lady Long," Swan interrupted. "We're going nowhere with you yelling."

Swan smiled at Alice before asking her, "You're the one who prepared breakfast for Lady Long, right?"

"Y-yes, Your Majesty. But Lady Long doesn't want to eat it, and I don't know why..."

"Hmm, maybe it doesn't taste good? Why don't you taste the food you just served," Swan ordered.

"O-okay..." Atice walked towards the breakfast tray. Naturally, she knew which food she poisoned, so she ate the bread first, and after eating a slice, she said to Swan, "You Majesty, do I need to eat more?"

Swan continued smiling, but Alice felt that something was amiss from her smile. She had a bad feeling about it, but she couldn't say anything or resist Swan's order.

"I told you to taste the breakfast, so you need to eat each of those," Swan ordered.noveldrama

Again, Alice nodded, and she began eating the food one by one. She only poisoned the white rice and the tea because she knew those two were the most likely for Lady Long to eat, considering she came from the Eastern Long Dynasty.

She made sure to stuff her mouth with everything except the white rice and the

tea. Once she was done, she looked stuffed and tired, "Y-Your Majesty, I can't eat more. It's too much for me..."

"You haven't eaten that white rice and drank the tea yet," Swan reminded.

"B-but, it's too much for me. I might puke..."

"Then you can stay here until you eat the remaining food," Swan said.

"P-Princess, Alice is a small eater, and her diet is not the same as regular humans..." Maya said as she tried to get Alice out of this strange situation. "Y-yes, Princess, please let us bring her back to the kitchen..." Myra added. Swan glanced at Myra and Maya. She sipped her tea and nonchalantly stated, "She's not going anywhere until she did what I told her to."
