"You…" Gale was rendered speechless by Swan's words just now. He kept staring at her in silence, hoping that she would retract her words and say that she didn't want him to mark another woman, but Swan said nothing else. The frustrated Beast King asked, "Why did you say that? Don't you love me too?"
"Who said that I don't love you? It's exactly because I love you, so I don't want you to suffer because of my selfishness," Swan answered. She was on the brink of tears, but she stayed strong so as not to shed a tear in front of Gale. She knew Gale had to find his true mate eventually, and Swan was not that woman. It was a self-sacrifice that befitted her. "I told you that I'm always ready to be sacrificed if my body can be of use. So does my love. If my love will only burden you, then I think I can sacrifice that as well."
