Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 

Upon hearing his call, Arlong entered quietly, lowered his head, and waited for instructions. 

Nyx took an interest in observing him 

Arlong had a youthful face, average height, and a lean build. He didn’t seem like much at first glance, but there was an impression that he had some skill. 

She thought. ‘Could he be the legendary trusted subordinate? A personal bodyguard?” 

“You come… Erik had planned to ask Arlong to peel the shrimp but suddenly noticed Nyx’s gaze. He furrowed his brow and cleared his throat twice.. 

He thought, Shameless. She is my wife, yet she is staring at another man. What kind of behavior is that? 

“Huh?” Nyx looked away, turning her head to see that the dumb Pale Wolf was clearly irritated. 

Erik, who had a bad temper, suddenly got angry, gritted his teeth for a while, but in the end, nothing happened. 

“Go bring me a basin of water, he changed his mind and instructed Arlong, “And bring me a cloth too.” 

Arlong, though confused, did as told. He left quickly like the wind and soon came back. 

He respectfully carried the basin of water, watching his master wash his hands carefully in the copper basin and wipe them with the cloth. Then, Erik took a plate of shrimp from the table, placed it in front of himself, and began peeling the shrimp. 

“Master, let me do it,” Arlong said, surprised and shocked. 

He was right there–there was no reason for Erik to do it himself. 

“No need. I’ll do it myself.” Erik glanced at him warily and then covered the plate with his hand. “You can go now.” 

Erik had just been a bit careless in his thinking, not considering it properly. He thought, ‘Since she is my wife, of course, she can only eat shrimp peeled by me. How can I let another man do it for her?” 

Watching Erik work swiftly, Arlong opened his mouth as if to say something but hesitated, not wanting to defy his master’s orders. 

Feeling lost, he looked at Nyx, hoping she would take over the task. Nyx, however, was resting her chin in her hand, focusing intently on Erik. She didn’t make eye contact with him. 

It was Erik who keenly noticed Arlong’s gaze. His eyes were sharp as knives, coldly locking with his for a moment. 

Their eyes met, and Arlong understood Erik’s intentions, Silently, he shut his mouth, followed the orders, and quietly left the room, closing the door behind him. 

Inside the room, only the faint sound of shrimp being peeled remained. 

Erik, with his face cold in anger, peeled the entire plate of shrimp. The plump shrimp meat was neatly arranged in the plate. still steaming 

“Eat.” He shoved the plate toward Nyx, his tone stiff and hard. 

“You peeled these for me?” Nyx couldn’t help but tease him. “But I’m already full.” 

Seeing his handsome face visibly fall, she quickly changed her tone. “But how can I not appreciate my husband’s gesture?”

As she spoke, she picked up a shrimp and popped it into her mouth. 

Erik’s expression immediately changed from gloomy to happy, all his emotions showing on his face. He didn’t even realize that he had been playfully teased. 

The word “husband made him a little shy. He lowered his head, processing his feelings for a moment before looking back at Nyx, who was still eating. He quickly spoke up. “If you’re full, then… don’t force yourself” 

Eating too much could harm her body. He had seen famine–stricken people who, after receiving aid, couldn’t control their hunger and ate themselves to death. 

He had peeled the shrimp for Nyx, hoping she would eat a bit more, but everything had its limits. He wasn’t forcing her to 

finish it all 

Nyx ate another shrimp and put her fork down. The shrimp was indeed fresh, the meat firm, and the taste sweet. 

Besides, after teasing the silly wolf, she was in a good mood and had a bigger appetite–so she ended up eating a few more 

“What about the rest?” she sighed dramatically. “These are all peeled by you with such effort. It would be a waste not to eat 

them.” 

Til eat them,” the dumb Pale Wolf took the bait, speaking in a muffled tone as he reached for the fork. 

Led by Nyx, he completely forgot the earlier rule where he had insisted that she should serve him, and he didn’t even care that he was eating her leftovers. Ever since his injury, his appetite had worsened, but it seemed to have suddenly returned to normal. Without realizing it, he almost finished all the food. 

Arlong had been waiting outside for a long time and finally heard the call. 

He went in with the fresh water and cloth to assist his master with washing his hands. He set down the copper basin and then went to clear the table. He immediately noticed the empty plates and stared in shock. He thought. Did he eat all this?” 

Since his injury, Erik hadn’t eaten this much in a long time. 

After a long pause, Arlong subconsciously looked up at Nyx with admiration and gratitude. He thought, It must have been the lady’s thoughtful service that helped my master regain his appetite. 

“Arlong.” Erik said sternly, “Leave.” 

Arlong snapped back to reality, realizing he had been rude. He quickly lowered his head, hurriedly finished cleaning up, and 

left the room 

He thought, “The way the master treats the lady is truly extraordinary. Tonight is the wedding night, and it seems like the lady isn’t planning to leave the room, nor does the master rush her out! 

After thinking for a while, Arlong quietly left his usual corner, moving farther away to avoid hearing any inappropriate Sounds. 

In the room, the table had been cleaned, and Nyx had moved a copper mirror over. She was trying to remove the heavy hairpiece from her head, relieving her poor neck. 

Her arms had little strength left. After holding them up for a while, they became sore, but she had only removed part of the hairpiece. Her movements grew more forceful, and before she knew it, she tugged at her hair, letting out a soft hiss. 

“Help me.” She nudged Erik’s chest with her elbow. 

“You” Erik stared at her blankly, caught off guard by the sudden poke. His face, which had just stopped blushing, flushed up again instantly. He raised his hand to cover his chest, feeling like a modest woman being taken advantage of

He opened his mouth, intending to mock her for being so charles, not even knowing how to take it her satisiere Bot after a brief hesitation, he shut his mouth again. 

“Where’s your personal maid These things should have someone to attend to them. Even if he hadn’t went fr someone to help her, she should’ve brought her own maid or wet nurse along an part of her dowry 

While asking, he wasn’t idle. He raised his hand and gently removed her hair accessories clumsily per carefully 

Her hair didn’t feel smooth, somewhat dry, as if it lacked nourishment and hadn’t been properly cant be it did good to the touch 

Her hair, just like the rest of her, showed no sign of a pampered life. Her complexion was pale, despite the mage on her lipe and cheeks, it still couldn’t hide the pallor, making her look like a delicate flower heanch that might snap at any moment 

Strangely, Erik didn’t feel disgusted at all. Instead, he felt a surge of frustration and some other ensations he couldn’t quite put into words. 

He didn’t fully understand what it meant to feel pity yet, so he just attributed all his feelings to 

He thought. What’s going on with the Voss family? Even if their family status isn’t as high as the Duke’s they should be this poor, right? How could they raise their daughter like this?” 

“I don’t have a personal maid.” Nyx tilted her head back and leaned into his arms. 

Apart from the two people who helped her after she fell into the water, she had lived alone in that remote inte con for all these years. 

Erik’s face darkened even more. He hadn’t paid much attention to the marriage and didn’t know many details Hispan assumptions and plans had all been overturned. 

He thought, ‘She doesn’t even have someone to attend to her. Is she really the Voss family’s biological daughter) is nothing like I have imagined. I should have someone look into this carefully. 

His mind raced with thoughts, but his hands remained steady. Erik was a quick learner and quickly figured out the trick skillfully removing the last hairpin, his fingers gently combing Nyx’s hair without any guidance. 

He was so focused on this that he forgot to be cautious, forgot the rule that men and women shouldn’t touch, and forgot they had just met. 

Only when Nyx snuggled closer and started undressing did he suddenly snap back to reality, pulling his hands away as if shocked by an electric jolt. “What… are you doing?” 

Tm undressing.” Nyx said matter–of–factly. 

It wasn’t just the headpiece that made her uncomfortable; her clothes were too. She pulled off the cumbersome outer ski revealing several more layers underneath. 

The fabric of ancient clothes wasn’t as light and comfortable as the materials in the stars. Wearing them made sitting or standing unbearable, and she had long had enough of it. 

“Wearing all this is so uncomfortable. I can’t believe I wore it all day. I’m about to die from exhaustion, Nyx grumbled as she unhooked one layer after another, finally stopping when only her inner garments remained. She sighed in relief 

Embarrassed and flustered, Erik turned away, avoiding her gaze. His eyes darted around, and he was at a loss for words 

He thought, ‘Absurd. Truly absurd. People always say that women should be reserved, and brides should be shy, but in our case, it seems the opposite is happening” 

Erik touched his hot ears in frustration, cursing himself silently. He never knew he could be so shy. It was ridiculous how

Before he could fully regain his composure, a slender hand suddenly reached up to his chest and pulled.
