Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 261: The Saintess Saves Those She Wants to Save (III)

Alice sneered in her heart, mocking the crippled bitch as she didn’t believe that Swan could be the true Saintess.

’The Saintess should be perfect. She needs to have a pure heart, a beautiful face, and most importantly, NOT a cripple!’ Alice told herself. The only one in her mind who deserved the title of Saintess was Princess Aria alone!

But, it would be stupid for Alice not to take the chance to beg for forgiveness from the Swan immediately. She didn’t care if Swan was the true Saintess or not. As long as Swan could use her filthy dark magic to free her out of this dungeon, then she would be more than willing to act pitifully.

If she had to be honest, she was scared of being executed by the Beast King. Hence, Alice showed her most pitiful face as she begged the Saintess, whom she deemed fake, "Please save me too, Saintess! I-I am the devout follower of the Goddess of the Sun! My life has always been full of grievances. I was beaten by Lady Jade, and forced to work under her. I was punished, and then unjustly imprisoned!"

Alice started shedding tears to make her act even more convincing, "I-I was the one who told His Majesty about the whole exchanging letter with Rock Silverfang, but you should know that I did it out of devotion, right? After all, you are THE Saintess, you must’ve known everything!"

Alice continued to cry pitifully, but deep down, she sneered at Swan who was staring at her with a thin smile on her face.

’You crippled bitch. I know you must’ve been using powerful dark magic to trick the Goddess. How could a filth like you become a Saintess? That’s just impossible!’ Alice accused in her heart.

"Surely, if you are the TRUE Saintess, you will forgive me for all my sins as long as I repent for all my mistakes, right?" Alice asked. "If you didn’t forgive me for all my sins, then you’re not the true Saintess! You’re just a poser!"

Meanwhile, Swan was conflicted in her heart.

She wanted to help Alice because she thought that was what a good Saintess was supposed to do.

She had to accept anyone and save everyone as long as they repented.

However, the Saintess in her head told her no, and forbade her to accept Alice’s hand who was desperately trying to get closer to Swan.

’You shouldn’t forgive her, Swan,’ the Saintess warned. ’You already heard what was in her mind just now. She laughed at your condition, insulted you, and doubted your identity as the daughter of the Goddess.’

’But, if I don’t forgive her, can I be called a good Saintess? Aren’t I supposed to save everyone?’

’The Saintess saves those she wants to save. Not everyone deserves salvation, and not everyone will repent for their sins, just like this bunny beastman,’ the Saintess assured her.

Swan kept staring at Alice and gently blew gold dust towards her. The gold dust circled around Alice, but Alice didn’t feel anything changed with her body.

"Let me ask you a few questions, dear bunny," Swan said with a smile. "What do you think of me as Swan, Queen of the Kingdom of Beastmen?"

Alice wanted to laugh when she heard that question. She was an adept liar. All she needed to do was lie to appease Swan’s ego.

"Of course, you are just a crippled bitch who doesn’t deserve to be His Majesty’s wife!" Alice said proudly. However, that proud smile slowly disappeared when she realized what she had just said. "S-Saintess! I didn’t mean any of that! I didn’t know why I said that!"

Swan didn’t react even after she was just blatantly insulted. Instead, she proceeded to the next question, "Were you truly forced by Lady Jade to poison Lady Long and me?"

"Y-yes! It was all my ideas. I was the one who told Lady Jade that we can poison Long Xiurong first, and then poison you. I was so happy when Lady Jade finally gave me the poison!"

Alice gasped as she realized that she couldn’t lie at all.

She knew that gold dust must’ve done something to her, so she slowly stepped back, "W-what did you do to me, Saintess? Why did you force me to lie?! I-I never did that before! I’d never try to harm you!"

Again, Swan didn’t answer, and continued, "Last question, do you truly believe me as the Saintess?"

"O-Of course! Of course, I know that you are just a filthy witch who used your ultimate dark magic to trick the goddess! How could an ugly crippled bitch become a Saintess? That’s just complete, utter garbage!"

Alice panicked as she couldn’t stop her mouth from revealing her inner thoughts.

"No, this is all wrong! I would never dare to harm you, Saintess! Please trust me! I would betray you after you freed me out of this dungeon. Oh, I can’t wait to bring your head to the Beast King!"

"You cannot speak lies in front of the Saintess, and I’ve heard enough truth coming out of your mouth, dear bunny," Swan responded amicably. "I will not punish you for your wrongdoing, but I shall not grace you with salvation."

"Dear bunny, let me tell you the misfortune that will befall you in a few hours," Swan paused for a second, and continued, "You will be executed in front of everyone you respected, your fellow servants, the soldiers, and also the Beast King, and your soul... may the fiery pits of hell be kind enough to you, because you are eternal inside the depths of hell."

Alice gritted her teeth. Not only did she not get salvation, this cripple dared to curse her to stay in hell!

Thus, she shed off all the pretense and yelled as loud as she could;

"YOU CRIPPLED BITCH! I SHOULD’VE KILLED YOU LONG AGO! I SHOULD’VE BEAT YOUR CRIPPLED LEG SO YOU WILL CRY IN PAIN! HOW DARE YOU DID THIS TO ME? I AM DEVOTED AND KIND! AARRGGHH!"
