Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 298: A New Stormfront (II)

"Then tell us. We also want to know, Swan," Selene probed.

Swan looked up at her mother before saying, "Mom, I want my son to always remember his identity as the grandson of the Sun Goddess. That’s why, I will name him after the sun, Sol. His name is Sol Stormfront."

"Sol Stormfront. That name makes me love my grandson even more now," Asmara commented. "Selene and I planned to bless him with both sun and moon power. But it seems he is already born with those powers inherited from you and Gale."

"That means you and Gale need to make sure to protect—"

"I will protect him at all costs. He is my son," Swan stated.

Selene chuckled, "No, what I mean is, you need to protect others from your son."

Swan frowned, "To protect others from him? But Sol is just a newborn..."

"He will continue developing his power over time. His baby tantrum might accidentally set off his power," Selene warned. "Don’t worry. We will make sure to keep Sol in check. We will limit half of his potential until he reaches adulthood. He needs to know how to control such great power first."

"T-thank you, Mom, Aunt," Swan lowered her head and smiled at her sleeping son. "Do you hear that, Sol? You are already well-loved by your grandmother and grandaunt. They will also protect and guide you in this harsh world."

Swan looked at Selene and said, "Aunt, can I come down to meet with Gale now since he cannot come to the Goddess realm? I need to tell him our son’s name."

"You can’t go down now, Swan. We just told you that there will be a huge upcoming danger that will change the earth forever. You’re still greatly weakened after you gave birth," Asmara stopped her. "You need to recuperate first, and take care of your newborn."

"But... how long would it take for me to heal before I can return to earth?" Swan asked.

"At least wait until your son is one year old. Then you can go down with him to the earth realm," Selene replied. "On top of that, we also have to continuously observe Sol’s power to see what we can do, so he wouldn’t just turn everything on earth into a desert during one of his tantrums."

The Goddesses seemed to intentionally hide the true nature of this ’danger’. She was worried that her husband might be in danger, too.

But then, she remembered that Gale was practically unbeatable, so she decided to agree with the terms made by the Goddesses as she also had to raise her baby.

’Just one more year, husband, and we can finally reunite.’

Aria floated right above the capital city of Holy Achate in the middle of the night.

The palace had been occupied by a high-ranked beastman who acted as the representative for Gale. However, the country was basically run by the church right now, and everything returned to normal even after Anastasia’s abdication.

"They forget about me like I never existed in the first place," Aria muttered. She was once the most popular princess across the land and had a cult following in Holy Achate. free𝑤ebnovel.com

But it was all gone the moment her mother abdicated. They all turned their backs on her just because their family members died due to the trade ban imposed by Gale before.

Aria gritted her teeth and yelled, "If all of you truly worship me, then you should’ve followed me without question. Why are you angry at me just because your children died? It’s not that big of a deal!"

Of course, nobody could hear her yell as she was high above the ground right now.

She held the necklace with a flower pendant containing five different-colored crystals given by Madam Harsetti before. Ever since Madam Harsetti blessed her with all her knowledge as the Great Witch, Aria got the privilege to talk with her anytime.

’I will do it, Madam. I will kill everyone in the capital city and turn them into mindless undead that will follow my instructions,’ Aria reported.

’Good. Do it, and make them all your army to fight against the Beast King,’ Madam Harsetti replied.

Aria continued staring at the castle and asked the Great Witch again, ’Madam, there is a beastman in this castle. Can I kill him and turn him into an undead, too?’

’Humans, angels, and demons are under the Sun Goddess’ rule, and I am the Sun Goddess’ shadow, so you can control humans as you please. However, beastmen, fairies, and other strange creatures are under the Moon Goddess’ rule. We cannot reanimate their corpse because it would only make them unresponsive,’ Madam Harsetti explained. ’However, you can still use brainwash on them. The only beastman who can resist your brainwashing is Gale Stormfront or those who have been in contact with Swan.’

’So, I cannot brainwash the soldiers in the Kingdom of Beastmen,’ Aria murmured.

’You can still brainwash the beastmen citizens in their city because Swan has never been in contact with any of them. You can also brainwash other beastmen tribes outside of the kingdom. They have a lot of powerful beastmen fighters as well,’ Madam Harsetti replied. ’Don’t worry, you will outnumber your enemy. No matter how strong Gale is, he wouldn’t be able to defeat your overwhelming power.’

Aria nodded.

As long as he gathered enough army, Gale wouldn’t be able to defeat her.

Thus, Aria took a deep breath and chanted the dark spell for a few seconds. She opened her mouth and began letting out miasma, a poisonous gas that would kill anyone with just an inhale.

She made sure the sky under the capital of Holy Achate would be surrounded by the poisonous gas, before pointing at the city square.

’Go, and kill everyone in this place.’

The thick and dark poisonous cloud seemed to have a mind of its own. It went down to the city and started slipping through any hole that could be used to pass air.

Aria smirked as she knew her plan was in motion.

’You will be mine soon, Gale Stormfront.’
