Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 

Chapter 367 

The room fell into dead silence. 

Myles looked up, his eyes wide, as if he had been grabbed by the neck. “Uncle… Uncle…” 

A slap landed like thunder on his face; knocking him to the ground. 

The loud sound left Myles dazed. When he came to his senses, he covered his face, wincing in pain. Looking up, he saw Enzo’s face dark with anger, and the alcohol wore off quickly. 

Myles realized what nonsense he had just spoken under the influence of alcohol, and a wave of fear surged through him. He wished he could slap himself. 

He thought, ‘After all, she is the madam. Even if I can’t stand her, keeping it to myself is one thing. At most, I can take some small revenge in secret, but saying it out loud like this is just asking for trouble. 

‘Fortunately, not many people heard those words. My uncle probably won’t punish me too harshly.As he was thinking, Myles suddenly heard Enzo’s cold voice from above. “Give him fifty lashes and then throw him out of the house.” 

“Uncle…” Myles looked up suddenly, disbelief written across his face. 

If the person doing it didn’t show any mercy, fifty lashes could easily kill him. 

Even though Enzo had always considered Myles useless and disciplined him strictly, he had only ever given him minor punishments. Never before had he been this serious–not only was he going to beat him, but he was also going to expel him from the Duke’s Mansion. 

Realizing that Enzo was serious, not just threatening him, Myles trembled all over and struggled desperately, trying to break free from the grip of the strong servants. 

He begged for mercy, but when he saw it was useless, he brought up his deceased father. “You can’t do this to me. You promised my father you’d take good care of me!” 

No matter how much Myles shouted, the lashes still came down mercilessly. 

Myles‘ begging turned into wails and curses, sounding particularly sorrowful in the empty yard. 

The others playing cards had already sobered up, too afraid to move, so they were forced to witness it all and took it as a lesson. 

They even smelled the stench of blood, their faces turning pale, unable to resist glancing at Enzo. 

They thought, ‘This is his own nephew; could he not show some mercy?‘ 

Enzo stood there like a heartless stone, unmoved by anything. 

No one dared to study his expression closely, so they didn’t notice the pity and struggle hidden deep in his eyes. His fist clenched tightly, trembling in the large sleeves that hung down. 

Enzo had grown up depending on his older brother, whose wife had died young, leaving only Myles for him to care for. 

If he didn’t care so much for Myles, he wouldn’t have used his privileges to arrange for Myles to work in the manor. 

Unfortunately, Myles had been spoiled since childhood, and Enzo was too busy, unable to keep an eye on him. Enzo had no choice but to place him in the kitchen, a relatively safe and comfortable place. 

Enzo never expected that with just one lapse in judgment, Myles would cause such a huge mess.

Looking down at Myles’s desperate and resentful gaze, Enzo sighed helplessly and whispered by, body we‘ trying to save you” 

Beating him nearly to death and kicking him out of the manor was already alenie páx. 

If Erik ever heard about this, he would have Myles’s life taken. 

Thankfully, Nyx had instructed him not to report this to Erik, 

Enzo felt a sense of relief in his heart and coldly warned everyone present, “This matter says between bring y again.” 

Enzo was loyal to Erik, but he had his own little selfish desire. If he could, he will hoped to preserve Vifets We, too ma how reckless and troublesome Myles was, Myles was his only living, relative, 

After handling everything and cleaning up the aftermath, Enzo seemed to have aged ten years. His back had handed a little, and with heavy steps, he returned to Nyx, preparing to apologize to her 

A few maidservants who had just been scolded by him stood near the gate. Seeing him, they still shrank bars, servoday saying, “The madam has gone out. She said she wouldn’t be counting accounts this afternoon and gave you half a day of 

“She went out?” Enzo was shocked. “Did she go alone?” 

When the maid nodded, he sucked in a sharp breath. 

Though there must have been shadow guards following her, they usually wouldn’t reveal themselves unless there was a threat. 

Enzo thought, ‘Has the lady really been safe going out alone after being confined within the Voss Manor gates for twenty years? Is she being deceived?” 

In the bustling street market, Nyx’s nose itched, and she couldn’t help but sneeze. 

Countless eyes turned toward her with the sound, and once they saw her face, they couldn’t look away, staring at her endlessly. 

Nyx had been out for less than half an hour and had already turned down the advances of more than a dozen men. Even after hearing she was married, some still stubbornly tried to pursue her, hoping for an affair. She felt embarrassed and drenched in sweat. 

Fortunately, the street had good order, and soon a patrolman arrived to maintain it. They even stood guard nearby, so things finally quieted down. 

Nyx touched her face, deciding that next time she went out, she’d definitely wear a veil. 

She had a clear goal in mind and walked confidently into a pharmacy. After spending a large sum, she bought many kinds of spices. 

She asked for directions and successfully found a spice merchant, making her collection even more complete. 

The meals at the Duke’s Mansion were good, but she had started to feel a bit bored, as though something was missing in the

flavors. It was the perfect opportunity to improve her nutritions. 

Cows were an important labor force in this era and couldn’t be slaughtered casually, so beef was hard to come by. 

Nyx bought some mutton and high–quality pork belly, then headed to the fish stall. 

From quite a distance, the fish vendor greeted her warmly, “Miss, would you like to buy some fish? These were freshly caught this morning, still alive. Very fresh!” 

The stall was full of fish and seafood, and water had inevitably splashed on the ground, mixing with the sand to form mud. 

Nyx didn’t want to dirty her skirt, so she carefully lifted a corner of it and took cautious steps toward the stall. 

She was so focused on the ground that she didn’t notice the window of a nearby restaurant was half open, with someone sitting by the window, able to see the outside view clearly. 

A pair of bright blue eyes stared at her, unmoving for a long time. 

In the private room reserved for distinguished guests, everything was quiet, and no one dared to speak. 

The food at this restaurant was average, but it was in a prime location, situated in the busiest part of the city. If the building were a little taller, it would offer a view of the entire market. 

Aurelius the emperor left the palace in disguise, accompanied only by his personal eunuch and a few guards. 

The guards had few words, with the eunuch, Aron, taking charge of the situation, telling Aurelius various folk tales to entertain and ease his mood. 

As he continued speaking, Aron noticed that Aurelius seemed distracted, not really listening to him. His gaze was fixed on something outside the window, as if something had caught his attention. 

Having served Aurelius for more than ten years, from the time he was a prince to the crown prince, and now Aurelius, Aron had never seen Aurelius so absent–minded. 

Aron could even see a look of longing in Aurelius’s eyes. He thought, ‘What could be so captivating?‘ 

Aron instinctively fell silent, not daring to disturb Aurelius’s moment of interest. 

Seeing Aurelius’s gaze shift and change positions a few times, Aron finally realized that Aurelius wasn’t looking at something, 

but someone. 

After hesitating for a long time, Aron mustered the courage to look in that direction. 

He was startled to see a slender, beautiful woman standing there, looking as though she wasn’t used to being out and unfamiliar with her surroundings, glancing around curiously. 

Aron thought, ‘Could His Majesty be looking at her?‘ 

Aron first felt surprise, and then joy, unable to believe his eyes. 

Aurelius had been on the throne for many years. Ever since the mourning period ended, ministers had repeatedly advised him to select concubines and fill the harem to ensure an heir. 

Aurelius always gave a verbal promise but never acted on it. His harem was still empty, and he hadn’t even hau ileeting

romance. 

Fortunately, Aurelius was still young, not yet in his twenties, and while the ministers were anxious, they hadn’t resorted to 

extreme measures.

Aron, who didn’t understand politics, still knew the importance of the matter and had often worried for hard. Bex Aurelius had never given any sign of understanding, and no one could change his mind. 

Never had Aron imagined that the turning point would come so suddenly 

“Your Majesty.” Aron’s voice trembled with excitement. “Shall I go bring her up 

The woman was undeniably beautiful, with an exceptionally gentle aura. It would make sense for Aurelius to take an interest 

in her. 

Just as he was speaking, a man in splendid robes, surrounded by attendants, started to crowd around the woman, seemindy bothering her and making persistent advances, 

“Koen, Aurelius said with a frown, calling the Head of the Guards, “Go warn the son of Duke Colin to behave 

Aron was stunned. He hadn’t expected Aurelius to stay so calm, only sending someone to intervene rather than seizing the opportunity to call the woman over for a chat. 

‘Could it be that His Majesty isn’t actually that interested in her? he thought, yet any assumption that had arisen was immediately dismissed. 

Having just completed one task, Koen received a second order: Aurelius instructed him to stay nearby and ensure that no one else disturbed the woman. 

As Aurelius’s most trusted guard, this was the first time Koen had been ordered to protect someone else. 

Aron sensed something unusual. 

Having served Aurelius for many years, he had developed a sharp intuition and wisely chose to stay quiet, not saying anything further. 

When Nyx wandered around, eventually buying some fish, shrimp, and flatbreads, and was about to leave, Aron couldn’t help but feel anxious. “Your Majesty, she’s leaving. Shouldn’t we bring her to the palace?” 

He thought, “This is the first time His Majesty shows interest in a woman. How can we just let her go? 

Aurelius sat by the window, maintaining his composure. But the edges of his robes were crumpled, betraying the unease he felt inside. “She doesn’t know me, and she might not want to come to the palace with me.” 

“How could that be?” Aron asked, confused. “You are the emperor.” 

Aron thought, ‘If His Majesty shows interest in someone, that is a great fortune for them. Who would dare refuse? Moreover, His Majesty is handsome and talented. Any woman fortunate enough to meet him would surely admire him.’ 

“So what if I’m the emperor?” Aurelius muttered, his eyes still fixed on the figure moving further away. Unable to stay still, he stood up. 

He remembered the woman’s dress, the color of gardenia, was made from newly supplied fabric this year. He hadn’t given this material to many people–only the Chancellor, the Grand Tutor, and Erik… 

The Grand Tutor didn’t have any female relatives, while the Chancellor had one wife, three concubines, ar but none of them looked like that. 

> daughters, 

Erik married Nyx, the daughter of the Voss family.

Chapter 367 

Aurelius heard in the palace that Nyx became favored as soon as she entered the house. Erik, who had always been clueless about romance, was completely swept away by her charm. He took action against the Voss family, partly to avenge his wife. 

Aurelius had lived in the Duke’s Mansion for a long time during his childhood and had grown up with Erik. 

He thought he understood Erik very well, so when he heard the news, he found it so ridiculous that he just laughed it off, not believing it at all. He thought Erik must have some plan, using Nyx for his own purpose. 

But now, he wasn’t so sure. Doubts were starting to creep in. 

The woman had her hair styled in a married woman’s bun, so she couldn’t possibly be a young maiden. 

‘Could she really be Erik’s wife?‘ he thought. 

Aurelius couldn’t put into words the feeling inside him, as waves of jealousy surged and overwhelmed him. 

“Your Majesty…” Aron watched helplessly as Aurelius in front of him vanished, his clothes falling to the ground. A small white cat darted out from beneath them and jumped out of the window. Aron didn’t even have time to stop it. 

“Quick, give chase!” he urgently shouted. 

It was said that the royal family carried the bloodline of the Divine Beast, the White Tiger, and their people could transform into their beast form. Only those who were close and trusted servants knew this. 

Other members of the royal family could only turn into regular stray cats, but the king… His fur was completely white, with some dark hair on his forehead. He looked majestic, clearly someone chosen by fate. 

Such a beautiful little cat running around outside was too dangerous. If it were caught by someone with ill intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable. 

Aron and the guards panicked, quickly settling their accounts and chasing after it. 

Luckily, Nyx wasn’t walking fast, and they didn’t have to chase too far before they managed to spot her in the crowd. 

A furry little head peeked out from behind, carefully dodging the crowd, with a steady gait that concealed a hidden joy. Its tail, standing high, betrayed its excitement as it followed her closely. 

Aron went speechless. He stopped a guard who was about to continue forward. 

He thought, ‘As long as we find His Majesty, we shouldn’t disturb him while he’s courting. Let’s just follow from a distance.‘ 

But he couldn’t understand what Aurelius was thinking. He thought, ‘Why turn into a beast to approach the woman he is interested in? Wouldn’t it be better to just reveal his identity?‘ 

They followed her all the way until they reached the Duke’s Mansion, and Aron’s eyes widened in shock as he gasped. 

It suddenly hit him, and he remembered something very important: The woman’s hair seemed to be styled in a married woman’s bun. 

After going out, Nyx came back with a lot of things, asking a servant to help carry them into the courtyard. 

She rubbed her sore arms and couldn’t help but think that this body was really weak, much worse than the one she had 

when she lived on Earth. 

After resting for a while in a rocking chair, she lazily got up. 

Several maids were busy in the courtyard, having already prepared all the ingredients according to her instructions.

The maids hesitated, not daring to move, 

It was too presumptuous to eat with the mistress. Even though Nyx was gentle and Kind, they still couldn’t break the rules. But the scent was too overpowering. The first maid couldn’t resist, and one by one, they all broke the rules. 

They shyly blushed and each took a plate, scooping a little bit of each dish, grabbing a flatbread, and sitting together, exting gratefully. 

Nyx looked at the table still piled high with food and frowned. S
