Capítulo 19: Chapter 19: Mated for Life

Swan laid on the bed after the sheet had been changed. She tried to close her eyes and fall asleep but couldn't. 

She kept thinking about Gale, who seemed upset by her offer to sacrifice her if it was necessary to cure the curse. 

'Is he mad at me? But why? Aria and Queen Mother didn't think twice about sacrificing me, and I'm sure everyone in Holy Achate's palace would be more than willing to save their lives in exchange for just one unworthy life.' Swan refused to believe that Gale—or anyone in this beastmen kingdom thought of her as a human being. She was naive, but not naive enough to think someone would be kind to her for no reason.

She was in a daze as she kept thinking about Gale until the real one jumped into the room from the window. 

Swan darted her eyes and saw Gale, whose hair was slightly damp, proof that he had gone to the lake just now.
