Mommy Wolf: Raise A Cub, Claimed By His Beast Daddy-Chapter 208: A Man’s Sincerity (I)

"If... if you’ve treated her well and provided her with everything, but she still wants to leave then..." Vestor gulped as he knew his answer would definitely anger the Beast King, but he was reflecting on his past mistakes and preferred to lay out the truth rather than try to please him. "Then there’s nothing that can be done, My King."

"What do you mean there’s nothing that can be done?! I am asking for your opinion!"

Vestor’s heart skipped a beat when the Beast King raised his voice. He was trembling a little, but he stuck to his answer.

"Forcing a woman to stay by your side when she doesn’t want to will only lead to tragedy, My King. Women from all species are sensitive and like to show their emotions. If they are unhappy, then you will know that they’re unhappy," Vestor said. "And if the wife is unhappy, then the entire family will be unhappy too. So my best advice is to let her choose and let her go if she decides to."

Kael thought that Vestor’s advice actually made sense, but that only upset him more because he still believed there must be a way out of this to make sure that Sisi stayed.

"How about I make her my queen now?" Kael asked. "We can celebrate the necessary event later at the end of spring, but I’ll mate with her now, and once I mark her, she will have to stay with me!"

"My King... isn’t that..." Vestor gulped again. This time he felt that his saliva was solidifying because it was getting harder to swallow. "Isn’t that... rape? If she is unwilling, then you’re forcing her, and such a vile thing will never end well..."

Once again, Kael was stumped because what Vestor said was correct. He had already made Sisi cry once when he lost control over himself, and if he did it twice, then he might as well chop off his own dick as punishment. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

In the end, Kael could only sit in silence as he didn’t know what to do.

Vestor rarely saw his king looking so dejected, and though he didn’t know what the trouble between the king and the mistress was, he still felt obliged to at least give him a little hope.

"My King, why don’t you try to live closer to the Mistress?"

Kael lifted his head, staring at Vestor, waiting for him to continue.

Vestor cleared his throat and elaborated, "I don’t know what is causing her to want to separate. But I’ve experienced something like this firsthand with my first wife. We were on bad terms, always arguing and fighting whenever we met. In fact, my first wife almost left me.

I thought that was it for our marriage, but I still wanted to reminisce about the good things we had before and decided to stay closer to her.

I emptied my schedule and spent my days and nights with her. I tried my best to make her happy and to let her know how important she is to me.

In the end, she finally opened up to me about her problem, and we talked it out.

We are still married now and in a much better situation. Though, I cannot spend my time every day with her..."

"That’s the consequence of having too many wives," Kael scoffed. "I don’t understand why you would want to have so many. I just want one, and that woman must be Sisi."

"Then you have to show your seriousness, My King. Since you truly like her, then she needs to see your sincerity," Vestor advised. "A woman’s heart can be prickly, but tender on the inside. You just have to make sure she opens up to you."

This time, Kael actually listened to the advice, because this one also made sense, but was less depressing.

The only thing he could do right now was to show Sisi his sincerity, so she would rethink her decision.

And even if Jojo had to wait a little longer to restore his sight, Kael knew that his son preferred not to see anything rather than regain his sight only to find Sisi nowhere to be found.

How could he be so sure? Because Kael spent his childhood with the searing pain under his skin while he was being ostracized and eventually kicked out of the pack he was born into.

At that time, he believed that he could endure any pain, but he couldn’t endure the loneliness.

He walked through the forest alone without fear because Kael was already strong at such a young age. But he missed the time when he could cuddle up for warmth with his birth mother, who eventually died of malnutrition after everyone shunned her for giving birth to a monster.

Jojo didn’t even know his birth mother, but he had already imprinted on Sisi as his mother, and to lose that warmth would hurt him too much.

Kael didn’t want his son to grow twisted like him, to become a killing machine used by a warmonger and have to bear thousands of sins on his shoulders.

Thus, Kael finally made up his mind and said, "Your advice makes sense, Vestor. I’ll go to the treasury to find something for Sisi."

He got up and left the throne room after that, while Vestor kept staring at his back, thinking of what would happen to the kingdom if the Beast King was too heartbroken to rule.

The day felt short for Sisi, as she was busy worrying about what to do once the faerie elders had arrived.

She asked the trio of faeries how long they had traveled to find her, and they said it took about five days.

But the trio of faeries were untrained kids who went on a difficult journey, while the faerie elders must be heading to the Beast Kingdom fully prepared.

"I think they’ll arrive tomorrow morning, Darling," Crush Tutu calculated. "My Grandpa said that the soldiers have the ability to track other faeries’ trails. If they follow our trail, it’ll be very easy for them to find us!"
