Chương 36: Chapter 36: Desire To Help

Swan might not know much about governing, but she was genuinely concerned about her husband. She was scared that Gale would turn out to be like her father, cruel and unfeeling.

She had grown to care about his well-being because he treated her nicely. It would be devastating to see such a kind man turning into a monster. 

"Has anyone ever told you that you're frustrating to talk to?" Gale sneered. "You are either so naive or just plain stupid."

Truthfully, Swan didn't know what others' opinions were about her, because she rarely talked with anyone. She was not allowed to talk unless necessary. Gale was the first one she freely shared her thoughts with, but maybe it wasn't right to talk to him like this.

Gale is a king, and she is just... Swan. 

Swan clenched her night dress, but said nothing as she felt that she had been reduced to the mere Swan once more, someone who wasn't allowed to voice her thoughts.
