Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 

Chapter 364 

“I dodged them, told them to get the F…” He inadvertently let slip a curse word, quickly swallowing the rest of it, his expression earnest. “They didn’t touch me.” 

He had never liked being served by lower–status people, and he had never had any maids around him before. After being with Nyx, he was especially protective of his own purity. But those two were like glue, relentlessly pursuing him. 

One moment they lied, saying it was Nyx who had sent them to serve him, then they changed their story, claiming they wanted to bear a child for her. 

Erik was enraged. 

He recognized their faces because of how jealous he’d gotten in the past when Nyx paid too much attention to these two maids. 

Nyx had shown them kindness, and now these two ungrateful ones had the audacity to come seduce him. And worse, they were using Nyx’s name. 

“How about we just throw them out of the house?” He barely suppressed his anger, discussing with Nyx how to deal with them. 

On the surface, they would be kicked out, but he would secretly have them killed, making sure everything was handled neatly without Nyx finding out. 

The shadow guards had already gathered intelligence, revealing that the two maids were spies from Banon. Since they were enemies planted in his home, he felt no need to show mercy. 

If he weren’t worried about how to explain things to Nyx if she asked about them, he would’ve dealt with it already. 

Now, they were practically asking for their own demise, giving him a perfect excuse to make them disappear. 

Nyx frowned, feeling conflicted, “This might not be right.” 

“They’re still young, without any means of livelihood, and they’re so beautiful,” she said with concern, uneasy about the situation. “If we throw them out, they might end up in bad circumstances.” 

Beauty combined with weakness often led to disaster. 

Erik was stunned. “You… you still care about their fate?” 

“Don’t you like me? Don’t you care about me?” He plaintively buried his head in Nyx’s embrace. “Aren’t you mad they tried to take me from you?” 

Some of his colleagues had wives who were fierce and jealous, causing chaos in their homes, and Erik had always found those situations laughable. But now, he felt jealousy in a whole new way. 

Everyone always said women should be tolerant and virtuous, that jealousy was a sin, but he felt men and women were the 

same. 

He liked Nyx so much that he wanted to hide her away from everyone. He thought if Nyx liked him, she should act the same way toward him. 

Nyx, unable to hold back a smile, pulled her embarrassed Pale Wolf into her arms and kissed him firmly on the cheek. “I like you.” 

“Of course, I’m mad,” she admitted. She wasn’t free from possessiveness regarding her mate, and she wasn’t so magnanimous that she’d ignore it. “But I think there’s another way to handle this. Let’s talk to them first, and if they try it again, we’ll deal with them then.”

With just a kiss, her grumpy mate was soothed, his face flushed as he nestled against her soft body, shamelessly lying on her lap. 

It was Nyx who had taken the initiative to let him lie down. 

With every breath, all he could smell was Nyx’s sweet and fragrant scent. His mind went blank as he kept inhaling deeply. too overwhelmed to think. 

Nyx’s voice remained calm and soothing as she gently tried to comfort him. “If they’re cast out of the mansion, those two girls, only fifteen or sixteen, will have a hard time surviving 

“At their age, if they were born in a good family, they’d be carefree under their parents‘ care. Even if they weren’t rich, they’d at least have some freedom,” she said, her voice becoming a little lower. 

“Their birth wasn’t something they could decide. Being controlled by the Voss family and Joyce, it’s not what they wanted.” 

Nyx didn’t think Jinx and Jules seemed like bad girls. Despite their eyes showing signs of hardship, their core was still kind, completely different from the malicious nature of Mila and Kaya from the Voss family. 

Perhaps they didn’t want to become concubines, but due to their young age and the influence of others, they had no choice but to walk this path. 

“The Voss family is like a swamp, and I don’t want them to stay stuck in it. That’s why I want to give them a hand,” Nyx’s voice grew softer, a quiet sigh escaping her lips. “I’ll talk to them first, then give them a chance to choose.” 

Erik gazed up at Nyx’s beautiful face, his eyes filled with intense admiration. 

He wasn’t one to show much mercy and never considered if his enemies had any valid reasons. But that didn’t stop him from being drawn to Nyx in this moment. 

After a long silence, he didn’t explain or tell Nyx that the two girls were spies sent by Banon to target him. Instead, he quietly agreed, “Alright.” 

With many shadow guards in his estate, if they ever attempted anything again, he’d be able to catch them.

Outside, in the courtyard, Jinx and Jules, two fragile figures, huddled together on the ground, tears streaming down their faces and soaking their clothes. 

They felt guilty for betraying Nyx and lingered in the courtyard, reluctant to leave, hoping to hear Nyx’s curses at them, which would somehow give them a bit of relief. 

But what they heard was nothing harsh. 

After sobbing for a while, Jules clenched her teeth, made up her mind, and pushed Jinx away. “Go report me if you want. What I did has nothing to do with you.” 

With that, she quickly walked a few steps forward, ignoring Jinx’s attempts to stop her, and suddenly slammed the door 

open. 

A cold gleam shot out instantly, embedding itself in the ground just a finger’s width from Jules’s toes. 

If she hadn’t moved so quickly, her head might have already been pierced by the copper dart. 

Erik had one arm around Nyx and the other hand still holding another copper dart, his cold gaze fixed on the uninvited 

guest. 

If it hadn’t been for his reluctance to kill in front of Nyx, he wouldn’t have missed. At the very least, there would have been

severe injuries caused. 

Jules” Nyx exclaimed in surprise. “What are you doing back here?” 

“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… Madam,” Jules said, tears in her eyes, not wanting to hide anything anymore. “Actually, I’m working for Banon.” 

“We’re spies sent by Banon to infiltrate the Duke’s mansion Jinx stumbled in after her, picking up where Jules left off. “Banon ordered us to get close to Erik, to gather information for him.” 

Hearing her words, Jules turned her head in disbelief. “Jinx. Why? Don’t you want to live anymore?” 

Jinx seemed to have given up on life, but Jinx clearly hadn’t. If Jinx went back and reported her, she could still have a chance to live. 

Jinx sobbed, clutching Jules, looking fragile, but her voice was determined. “You’re not leaving me. Whether we live or die, we’re together.” 

They were determined to stay together. 

Nyx stared at the dramatic scene in front of her, dazed, unable to process it for a long time. 

She thought, ‘Banon? Isn’t he the enemy of Pale Wolf?‘ 

She suddenly recalled the image of Pale Wolf holding a long sword, ready to kill, and it dawned on her. 

“Did you already know about this?” She glanced at Erik, receiving a confirming nod, and couldn’t help but rub her forehead. 

She had thought it was just a matter of infidelity, not something that would make Pale Wolf kill. It turned out these two were planted by Banon as spies. 

Pale Wolf had known the truth all along, but out of respect for her, he didn’t act directly against them. 

Meanwhile, she had been in the dark, thinking they were simply part of Joyce’s plan to annoy her with potential concubines. 

Nyx sighed in resignation. If she had known about their spy status, she might not have convinced Pale Wolf to 

At critical moments, showing mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. She knew how to prioritize, and she would never let her mate fall into danger for two strangers. 

The thought of what could happen in the future made Nyx quietly regret. She thought, ‘So… what’s going on now? Did these two girls suddenly turn on Banon? Why?‘ 

“We, the two sisters, have always had sharp hearing. We’ve been gathering intelligence for Banon since we were young, and we know a lot,” Jinx said, unrepentantly, deciding to completely betray them. She blurted out a lot of information. 

Nyx’s eyes widened as she struggled to process it all, but she couldn’t remember it all. Erik, however, managed to focus on the key points, his brow furrowing.
