Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 

Impudent? How impudent?‘ Nyx became more nervous.

Her thoughts were in a frenzy, considering all kinds of possibilities, even questioning if her status as a transmigrator had been revealed. 

Her hand shook slightly as she typed out her reply: [You tell me 

Half an hour had passed since Felix’s last message; but it seemed as if Felix had been waiting for her reply all along, sending his message a few seconds later. 

Felix: [Did you find a third guardian besides Theon and Zayne?] 

According to imperial law, unmarried females must have more than three guardians. The staff member who registered her had warned Nyx that if she didn’t find a third guardian within a month, the system would automatically assign one. 

Nyx had completely forgotten about this until Felix mentioned just now. 

Less than half a month remained of the one–month deadline. 

Nyx answered truthfully: [No–I accidentally forgot about it.] 

A female’s guardians were actually more like fiancés. Once someone became her guardian, it was like they’d branded her, and others would naturally consider them her male partner. 

She didn’t get this rule at first, but then she figured out there were these sneaky rules. She even wished she hadn’t picked Zayne and Theon as her guardians, making them stick by her but not being able to promise them a true partnership. 

Now, she was forced to find another guardian. Nyx felt overwhelmed. 

Frustrated, she ran her hands through her hair, unsure of what to do, when she suddenly saw that Felix had sent her a copy of his medical report. 

Next came his resume with a long list of achievements, awards, and honors that dazzled her. 

Then, there was proof of his assets. It even included the ownership of several planets, making him a literal interstellar landlord. 

Nyx was stunned. Then, Felix volunteered to be her guardian. 

Nyx went speechless. 

She remembered clearly that Felix was an anti–marriage type, showing little interest in females. 

‘Is he using me as a mediator to get closer to Theon?‘ she thought 

Given how Theon had been wary of Felix as a potential rival, she didn’t think this was a good idea. 

Nyx replied: [Theon might not be very happy about this.] She subtly turned down Felix’s offer. 

Felix’s public profile was too high. He was practically the idol of the entire empire, a high–ranking Marshal, and an elder, which made Nyx feel under immense pressure.

After all, she was just an ordinary person. 

Felix understood Nyx’s rejection but didn’t give up. 

He typed: [Theon won’t have any objections.

[He’s the top commander of the 286th White Tiger Regiment and must work long–term at the base. Even with my help, it will be hard to reassign him to the Central Planet anytime soon, so he won’t be able to fulfill his duties as your guardian. 

[As his uncle, I’ll take care of you in his stead. Since you need a guardian, I’m just the right fit to fill this gap.] 

Felix wanted to be Nyx’s third guardian. He waited. He waited for Theon to leave. Theon went to the base. Now was the time. Now was the time to ask. 

He didn’t press further but took a step back, giving Nyx space to think about it. 

Felix: [I will respect your decision, but if you can’t find a suitable candidate, I hope you will consider me. I’ll be waiting for your reply.] 

In Earth’s terms, this was called volunteering to be the rebound guy. 

Nyx fell silent. She couldn’t say no. Not now. So, she said she’d think about it. 

Felix shouldn’t have feelings for her. He’d just be taking Theon’s place, which was exactly what she needed. 

But it was hard to imagine how awkward it would feel if Felix really became her guardian. 

‘But–Theo 

Zayne. They wouldn’t like it.‘ Nyx sighed. This was complicated for her. 

The little cat, hearing her sigh, tilted its head and looked at her with concern. “Mew?” 

The soft mew was a tiny, warm comfort. Nyx nuzzled her face into the little cat’s fur, a deep, calming breath escaping her. She decided to think about this matter for now. 

The priority now was to sleep; tomorrow morning, she had to take Cotton Candy to the pet management center for registration. 

She had asked Theon earlier, and he told her that pets here didn’t need a bunch of vaccinations like on Earth, as most diseases had been eradicated by this era. Infectious diseases no longer spread, and even if a pet caught a disease, it was easily treatable. 

Similarly, pets didn’t need chip injections. Their information was scanned and recorded. Then, the cat would officially become her certified pet. 

Nyx lay back down on her bed, her long hair flowing smoothly, with a faint fragrance lingering in the strands. 

The little cat, entranced by the scent, lazily flopped beside her like a little furball. 

Nyx cuddled it and felt like she was holding a little heater, and quickly fell into a deep sleep. 

The night was deep and quiet. 

Suddenly, she felt the covers sink beside her, as if something heavy was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. 

Cotton Candy- so heavy- how did it get so heavy? It’s as heavy as a tiger- she thought.

With her fragile frame unable to bear the weight, Nyx groaned in her sleep. 

The weight pressing on her immediately disappeared, and she was able to breathe freely again.

When Nyx woke up in the morning, she had completely forgotten the muddled experience and didn’t see the little white cat sneak a guilty glance at her. 

Over breakfast, she received news that Zayne’s file had arrived at the Imperial Military Academy, finalizing his transfer, and that today marked his first day on the job. 

Nyx bit her lip and lowered her head, feeling guilty inside. 

If it weren’t for accompanying her, Zayne wouldn’t have transferred. It was she who affected his work. 

Zayne shook his head gently. “I’d originally planned to stay at the school after graduating, but some complications arose, and I ended up in the military.” 

He was a common student with no connections. Though a genius, he was relatively weak. Astraea, a high–ranking female, declared her interest and pursued him relentlessly. Unwilling to become entangled, he kept his distance, seeking only peace.
