Swan's eyes widened as her heart jumped when Long Xiurong mentioned that name.
"H-how do you know that name?" Swan asked. "I-I never mentioned him, and I'm sure Gale has banned anyone from ever talking about him in public."
"I heard about him from the rumors, as the servants in this castle are prone to gossiping. I met him personally on the first night of the celebration banquet. He climbed to my window, and later introduced himself," Long Xiurong explained, conveniently leaving out a few details about their first meeting, such as Rock, who had a hard-on when Long Xiurong kept struggling to break free. "He told me that his name is Rock Silverfang, His Majesty's former beta, and your supposed knight. Then, he said that he needed to find a way into your room, Princess. He wanted to talk with you to make sure that you were safe and sound after the coldest night. He wanted me to help him, but I knew better not to let him because he would be killed by His Majesty instantly."
