Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 

StarNet had been buzzing with hot posts ever since Chubby went out. 

[Spotted: Chubby out with his servant. With pics!] 

[Bought the same ice cream as Chubby, hechee!] 

[Not gonna lie, I wish I had a dad like Jaws. He really dotes on his cub. My perception of him is totally flipped–I’ll never badmouth him again.] 

[Chubby is so well–behaved, he even bought gifts for his family.] 

[Wait, hold up… Lord Nyx is pregnant again?] 

With Chubby’s casual remark, StarNet erupted into chaos. 

At first, everyone thought it was just a rumor, but those who had heard the statement firsthand stepped forward to confirm it, instantly sending the topic skyrocketing to the top of StarNet’s trending list. 

[B] 

[A second child?] 

[Am I dreaming, or what…] 

[Did I time travel a hundred years into the future?] 

[But Chubby just hatched not long ago!] 

[Calm down, Chubby only said “brother.” It could be someone else’s little brother.] 

[That’s right… it could just be a child saying things randomly.] 

[Maybe Chubby just named a toy “brother.“] 

All these guesses seemed far more plausible than the idea that Nyx was pregnant again. 

Everyone knew that Nyx getting pregnant was practically impossible, yet once the seed of doubt was planted, they couldn’t help but dig deeper. 

And the deeper they dug, the more shocking the discoveries became. 

Someone noted that Jorge, a close acquaintance of Nyx, had recently been gathering medicinal herbs from various planets -herbs known for nourishing a female’s body during pregnancy. 

Others pointed out that Coleman had been stationed at his studio, working overtime, reportedly designing an array of baby clothes and maternity wear. 

Professors from the Imperial Military Academy’s medical department had visited Nyx multiple times, with photos taken as proof. 

There were even rumors that the royal family was involved. 

However, given the royal family’s high level of secrecy, it was difficult for outsiders to uncover any solid information. 

With all these pieces adding up, the clues seemed to point to one conclusion–Nyx was really pregnant with a second child.

But they thought, ‘How’s that even possible? Forget the fact that she is the Empire’s highest–ranked SSS–level female–even among other females, conceiving again so soon is unheard of. 

‘Such exceptional reproductive capability has only ever been documented in ancient records, dating back to the olden days of the Beastmen, and even those accounts remains unverified‘ 

On StarNet, the discussions were growing increasingly heated. 

[Is it possible that Lord Nyx not only has strong mental power but also an exceptionally high reproductive ability?] 

[Dream on.] 

[Don’t even dare to hope for something like that.] 

[If mental power is strong, it should be harder to conceive. The same goes for males–higher–tier genes are always harder to pass down, isn’t that a universal rule?] 

[Lord Nyx has many female friends–maybe all those things were prepared for one of them instead?] 

When it came to Nyx’s friends, Xivar’s name was the first to be mentioned. 

In an office, one of Xivar’s mates was happily sipping a drink when a colleague suddenly leaned over and asked, “Is your matron pregnant?” 

Caught off guard, he blurted out without thinking, 

did you know?” 

They had only found out last night and hadn’t told anyone yet, planning to get a thorough check–up at the hospital today before saying anything. 

Xivar’s mate assumed that Xivar had already posted about it on StarNet. But when he opened his Intelligent Brain, he saw that the entire network was buzzing about Nyx’s supposed second child. He suddenly figured it out. 

Before he could explain, his colleague had already jumped to a conclusion and posted online: [Case solved! It’s not Lord Nyx who’s pregnant, but her friend.] 

Coincidentally, just as the post went up, Xivar received the hospital’s test results and happily announced the good news on StarNet. And just like that, everything settled down. 

The public suddenly understood the whole story, or so they thought, ‘So it is Xivar who is pregnant–not Lord Nyx expecting another child.‘ 

Satisfied with the real answer, the gossipers flocked to Xivar’s post to offer congratulations before dispersing, content. 

Meanwhile, Xivar stared blankly at the overwhelming number of messages flooding in. She thought, “What is going on? Why is there so much attention today? Ever since I got close to Nyx, I have been a well–known online figure, but I have never seen this level of engagement before.‘ 

Scrolling through the still–trending posts, Xivar quickly realized what had happened. 

She messaged Nyx privately: [What do we do? Everyone seems to have misunderstood. Should you clear things up?] 

Nyx: [Congrats!] 

Nyx: [It’s fine. Just let it be.] 

Nyx had come to accept that she was now a public figure under the Empire’s scrutiny, but she still wasn’t comfortable sharing her private life. 

Still, there was no way to keep secrets forever. Sooner or later, once the two little ones were born, everyone would find out.

Nyx couldn’t imagine how StarNet would explode when that happened. 

To enjoy some peace for a little longer, she had stayed in the manor since she started showing at two months, avoiding going 

outside. 

Occasionally, Xivar would come to visit her. Seeing Xivar as a comparison reassured Nyx. It seemed like faint fetal movements were indeed normal.
