Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 

“Nys, it’s i 

that you don’t want to do your face, it’s that you don’t want to marry.” 

“It’s a pity that you’re getting older, and your family can’t keep you any longer. If you wait another two years, you’ll become an old maid, and that’ll be even harder to handle. 

“Even though Erik is injured and has a bad temper, he’s still a good match for you. He’s much better than some country bumpkin 

The two of them kept chatting back and forth, laughing and deliberately steering the conversation towards Erik’s limp and bad temper, watching Nyx’s expression to see if she would look anxious or burst into tears. 

On the wedding day, a bride crying and sobbing would look inappropriate, and Joyce would scold her when she saw it. Her new family would surely be disgusted, and her husband who already couldn’t stand stress, would surely get angry and might even lash out. 

The two of them had bad intentions, but Nyx didn’t react the way they expected. 

She didn’t show any anxiety, nor did she shed a tear. She simply sat there, turned her head, and stared at them coldly, as if she saw through everything. 

Her long hair, which had usually been a bit messy without anyone to attend to it, was now neatly tied up in a high bun, dark as ink. Beautiful jewels held every strand in place, revealing a delicate face, as if carved from jade, making her look like a goddess. 

The two sisters froze, holding their breath. They stared for a long time, biting their teeth in silence, their handkerchiefs tightly twisted in their hands. 

The reason they always bullied Nyx was partly for fun, but mostly out of jealousy. 

Normally, Nyx, with her plain face, looked like a delicate flower, quiet and modest, with no particular grace, but just her face alone could make them feel inferior, and they naturally resented her for it. 

Now, dressed up, she was even more stunning, her presence completely different. The weakness that had once been there was gone, and her eyes, clear and sharp, were so intense that they almost didn’t dare meet her gaze.. 

After a long silence, the second sister, Mila, gritted her teeth and, under the pressure, spoke again, “Nyx, don’t be afraid of doing your face. It’ll only hurt a little, just endure it, it’ll pass. There’ll be more painful things ahead.” 

Mila heard that Erik had become unpredictable, the servants were constantly changing, and beatings and punishments were routine. One wrong move, and Nyx could lose her life. 

Mila thought, “Who would dare to be his bed partner? Even if you are cautious all the time, you still couldn’t avoid occasional mistakes. Once you anger him, being beaten is inevitable! 

“Nyx, with your fragile body, going to such a dangerous place I’m really worried about you,” the third sister, Kaya, pretended to cry, but the smile at the corner of her lips was hard to suppress. 

Erik was a tall man, over 6 feet 3 inches, a warrior who killed enemies on the battlefield at the age of twelve or thirteen. Even though his leg was injured, his strength wouldn’t necessarily be affected. A weak and sickly person like Nyx wouldn’t survive a few beatings. She might die in no time. 

Nyx asked. “Do you dare to tell our father and mother about that?” 

The cold voice suddenly pierced their ears, and both Mila and Kaya shivered in surprise, looking at Nyx in disbelief. 

“A dangerous place,” Nyx smiled faintly, her voice light, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. “The Read family has always been brave and loyal, with Matay being personally appointed by the late emperor.

“Erik defeated the enemies in battle, and the emperor personally awarded him… You two have such big guts, how dare you call Duke’s Mansion a dangerous place? Does that mean, in your eyes, Matay and Erik are nothing more than wild beasts?” 

Although Pale Wolf was indeed dangerous, he was a well–behaved good wolf. 

Nyx added. “If I tell the Read family what you’ve said- 

“No,” Mila 

“No,” Mila and Kaya hurriedly interrupted her, both panicking. 

They never expected things to develop this way. They thought, “How dare she? She has always been the one to cry when bullied, and she doesn’t even dare complain to her father. How did she suddenly gain so much courage? 

‘Could it be that the fall into the water damaged her brain, and she’s gone mad?‘ 

“These words are just between us sisters, how could they be told to outsiders?” Mila forced a smile. “We were just worried about you. After all, you’re marrying into the Read family. You have to leave a good impression on your husband’s family.” 

If Nyx were to use these words to complain, they’d suddenly be in trouble. And Nyx, being blood–related to them, couldn’t just stand aside. She’d have to suffer the consequences with them. 

They thought, ‘Even if Nyx hates us, she wouldn’t be crazy enough to want to perish alongside us, right?” 

Mila and Kaya were nervous. Nyx was unmoved, smiling slightly. “Since I married into the family, becoming a wife of the family, everything must come first with my husband. No matter what anyone says, as long as it concerns 

my husband. I won’t hide the truth or lie.. 

“Moreover, my husband is not as you say. He’s a man of good character, not someone with a violent temperament. Since we’re mates in marriage, he will love and trust me. He would never take his anger out on me.” 

Looking at Nyx’s calm and confident expression, Mila and Kaya exchanged a glance, speechless. 

They thought, ‘She’s gone crazy. Nyx really has gone mad. It seems she couldn’t accept the reality that she is marrying a disgusting man, so she has developed delusions and imagined a loyal, perfect husband who is obedient to her every need. 

Kaya gave a dry laugh. “Just wait and see.” 

She thought, “What good is being stubborn now? Once she gets beaten, she’ll surely come to her senses, Arguing with a madwoman isn’t worth it. Not only does it feel like hopeless, but it could backfire and lead me to being dragged into madness together‘ 

Mila and Kaya didn’t dare to stay any longer. Annoyed, they left, still muttering to each other. 

“Let’s see if she comes back crying in a few days, complaining 

“With her personality, she wouldn’t dare to run after getting beaten.” 

“We’ll see during the return ceremony. Maybe she’ll come back bruised, her face marked with fingerprints.” 

After all that commotion, time was tight, and the woman who was supposed to help with the face painting also realized Nyx wasn’t quite right in the head. She didn’t dare argue with her and quietly stepped aside. 

She thought. Fine, if she doesn’t want to paint her face, then don’t. If her husband dislikes her and beats her, she’s asking for iL 

After avoiding an unnecessary painful ritual. Nyx still couldn’t escape the heavy headdress on her head. 

Compared to the crown Coleman had designed for her, this one was still beautiful but a bit clumsy and heavy, pressing

Nyx frowned slightly. She thought, Right, Pale Wolf’s leg was injured, he condoit de

Even on his wedding day. Erik had no intention of showing up, as if he didn’t care about it at 

Everyone knew he had no expectations for this marriage. The marriage was arranged entirely by Matey for son 

For years, Erik had been focused on the battlefield, avoiding marriage, pushing it off time and time again, will this injury made him lose the will to fight his father and he finally let the marriage happen. 

The old woman imagined the awkward situation that would occur tonight when the newlyweds were alone, feeling “Our young master is usually a good–natured person, but such a big change has understandably affected his mood Lady. you are gentle and considerate, please be patient with him.” 

She thought, ‘Every marriage requires some compromise, doesn’t it? For a wife, beauty is secondary. The most important thing is to be virtuous and obedient, even if her husband has shortcomings, just bear with it. 

“A humble background has its advantages. Since the lady isn’t of noble birth, she will likely be more gentle and respectful toward the young master. 

The old woman thought this in her mind but couldn’t help saying a few more words, advising Nyx on how to win her husband’s favor. 

Nyx nearly fell asleep, feeling like she was listening to ancient teachings. 

These were things Nyx hadn’t heard in a long time, and they just went unnoticed. 

“Did your young master tell you to say all this to me?” Nyx squinted her eyes, rubbing her throbbing forehead 

The old woman was caught off guard by the question. To avoid making Nyx feel that Erik didn’t care for her, she kindly told a harmless little lie, “Yes, that’s right.” 

Nyx’s lips curved into a faint smile. She thought, “How dare he! He’s changed a lot 

Nyx was eager to see Pale Wolf, to find out if he really wanted her to serve him humbly, and kindly fix him up with a few concubines to expand his family. 

The old maid looked at Nyx’s serene smile and felt uneasy. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. 

But since Nyx didn’t say anything more, the maid quickly brushed off the strange feeling and smiled contentedly. She had handled this matter very properly, and she was certain that Erik had left a good impression on Nyx. 

Setting aside the fact that the groom didn’t come to personally welcome the bride, the Read family had done everything according to tradition, from the lavish procession to the meticulously arranged ceremony. The wedding procession was

grand. 

The common people watching from a distance couldn’t help but gasp in surprise at the long procession, the grain wh and the impressive ceremony, and they began to discuss it among themselves. 

“I heard that that year, the family picked the least favored, most inconspicuous daughter to marry into the Read family ow could they be so disrespectful? Even the Duke could tolerate that.” 

“Well, the Duke has always been lenient. He takes after the old Duke and doesn’t like to argue over trivial matters 

“It’s good enough that the marriage happened. Given Erik’s current condition as long as the bride is virtures and obedient, it’ll be fine.” 

These words prompted a wave of soft sighs from around the group. 

They thought, “Yes, Erik is now disabled. To be blunt, he is practically useless.
