Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire

Nyx's nose itched, and she couldn't help but sneeze.

"What's going on?" Erik immediately became alert, grabbing her cold hand. Without caring about the situation, he instinctively tried to pull her into his arms. "Arlong, go get a cloak.

"No need❞ Nyx stopped Arlong, and then gently patted Pale Wolf's chest. I'm not cold"

She felt she hadn't caught a chill, but it almost seemed like someone was whispering about her or plotting against her.

Their eyes met, and without a word, they exchanged a silent understanding. Erik strangely grasped her thoughts.

He tightened his grip on Nyx's hand, narrowing his eyes.

He thought, "The Voss couple are still up to no good. After just being warned, they dare to scheme again. It seems I have been too lenient with them.

He didn't doubt Nyx's thoughts for a second and naturally believed her baseless suspicion.

Nearby, Mila and Kaya heard the commotion and, braving their curiosity, secretly looked up. When they saw the scene before them, they were shocked. They thought, 'How... how does it feel like Erik really likes Nyx? He's even holding her hand? Showing concern for her?

The young couple sat close together, holding hands, both wearing nearly identical clothes. Even without saying a word. there was an intimate vibe between them. They didn't seem like a couple married for only three days; they looked more like a pair of lovers who had been together for a long time.

Mila and Kaya unconsciously rubbed their eyes, doubting whether their vision had blurred or if they were seeing things.

Before they could snap out of it, Nyx quickly withdrew her hand and straightened her posture.

Rohan and Joyce appeared one after the other, returning to the table in their newly changed clothes, breaking the silence.

"Since we've eaten, and it is still early, Mr. Read, would you like to take a walk around the Voss Manor?" Rohan rubbed his hands, cautiously suggesting.

"A walk around?" Erik repeated, coldly laughing as his gaze fell on his injured leg. "Me?"

Rohan accidentally touched a sensitive spot, and he took a sharp breath. He cursed himself inwardly, wishing he could slap himself.

Just when he didn't know how to handle the situation, Erik spoke up first, "Sure.” "Then Arlong can push me around. I'd like to see the place where my wife used to live," Erik said as he propped himself up and moved to sit in the wheelchair.

Seeing Erik agree, Rohan was pleased, but suddenly remembered how shabby Nyx's old residence was, and his smile instantly vanished. He couldn't think of how to stop it, so he closed his eyes and simply gave up.

Rohan thought, 'Forget it... It's not a big deal. The priority is to get Erik out of the way!

Nyx also stood up, planning to walk ahead and lead the way, but suddenly she heard Joyce call her, stopping in her tracks.

"Come with me," Joyce beckoned with a smile, explaining to Erik, "We mother and daughter have some private matters to discuss, and I need to give her something."

The implication was that they needed to talk about women's matters that men shouldn't overhear.noveldrama

Erik looked at Nyx, seeking her opinion. When he saw Nyx give a slight nod, he gave a small bow and said, "Alright.

He thought, 'Let's see what this couple is really up to. Either way, it's going to end in a scheming plan

Erik turned around and glanced into the shadows.

Two figures lying in wait in the dark received the order and followed Nyx's footsteps, protecting her.

Not only did Joyce remain unaware, but even Nyx didn't know she had a tail following her.

They walked through the dim corridor and arrived at the back courtyard, where there were no more distractions. Joyce shed her gentle facade and revealed her true self.

She found a chair for herself and sat down, ignoring Nyx who was standing. With a look of disdain and jealousy, she scanned her stepdaughter from head to toe, dressed in gold and jewels. "So, how is it? Shouldn't you thank me now? I've arranged such a great marriage for you."

Nyx remained silent.

Seeing that she was still so quiet and irritating, unchanged since before the marriage, Joyce began to gain confidence.

She wanted to taunt Nyx some more, but considering Erik was still in the house, she worried about long-lasting consequences, so she didn't say anything more. Instead, she got straight to the point. "So, how have you been serving your husband these days?"
