Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 

Dressed in red, Aurora stood with arms crossed and a raised eyebrow, regarding Nyx with a look of hatred. 

Nyx went confused. She had no idea when she might have offended this female. 

If her memory served her right, she clearly didn’t even know this female. 

Felix’s expression suddenly darkened as he moved to shield Nyx, saying, “Madam, please show respect.” 

“Oh?” Aurora sneered, “She’s not your matrón; why are you so protective of her?” 

Seeing Felix like this, Aurora felt jealous to the extreme.

She had pursued Felix for many years, yet he didn’t even remember her name, addressing her only as “Madam” as if he had no impression of her, never once acknowledging her. 

In contrast, that young female, who was fortunate enough to stay in Felix’s embrace and still wasn’t satisfied, was now openly eyeing Aurelius, and Felix not only didn’t blame her but was also protecting her. 

Aurora had never seen Felix so protective of a female before, and she couldn’t have imagined him showing such strong emotion. 

Not only did Aurora find it absurd, but others also felt it was incredible. The dancers stopped in their tracks, secretly watching this spectacle. 

Aurora coldly eyed Nyx. “No mental power, but quite the appetite.” 

She had just investigated Nyx and discovered that she was a female with no mental power. So, she was wondering how such an inferior being had managed to infiltrate the palace ball. 

It was astonishing that a female so mentally impaired had managed to attract men of such high caliber. Theon and Zayne were both top–tier S–level individuals, and then there was Felix, who was even more exceptional. 

“You’re still not satisfied after getting close to Marshal Lane? And now you’re trying to seduce the Crown Prince?” Aurora laughed lightly, covering her lips. “You should think about whether you deserve it!” 

The originally harmonious atmosphere of the ball became stifling. Guests exchanged glances, no longer dancing, as they were murmuring in whispers. 

“Why is a female without mental power allowed to attend the ball?” 

“I almost asked for her contact info, but thankfully, I didn’t get a chance!” 

“She’s so beautiful. What a pity.” 

Someone immediately checked the Intelligent Brain to verify ifurora’s words were true. 

Nyx’s personal information did indeed state that she had not awakened any mental power. 

This only made the discussions grow louder. 

“How could the Marshal be with a female without mental power

“It’s probably just a fling. He won’t settle down with her.” 

“Such a pure aura, but didn’t expect her to be an ambitious female.”

Amidst the swirling whispers, Aurora appeared triumphant, her gaze fixed on Nyx with a smug satisfaction, relishing the prospect of seeing her humiliated and devastated by the gossip. 

The Queen hurriedly stood up and walked over, intending to drag her troublesome niece away. 

If she had known, she would never have allowed Aurora to attend this ball. 

Amid the uproar, Felix was tightly holding Nyx’s hand, his face dark. 

His usually calm voice now cold as ice, he directly addressed Aurora. “Apologize to my matron immediately, or I will challenge your partner to a duel.” 

Males could not attack females, but to protect their mates, they would challenge the other’s partner to a duel. 

This was one of the oldest traditions in the Empire, where males risked their lives to fight for their matron’s honor. While it appeared to be a duel between males, it was in fact a slap in the face to the female behind them. 

If the male lost the duel, the female would never hold her head up again. 

Aurora shuddered, staring at Felix in shock. 

Such an impulsive, protective male–could this really be the cold–blooded Marshal? 

“Y–You-” she stammered, unable to speak, utterly shocked. 

The onlookers were speechless, no longer daring to say things like “The Marshal just wants to play with her.” 

It was clear now–it wasn’t just a fling. He was completely devoted to her. 

Nyx also widened her eyes, wondering if she had heard wrong. 

Felix actually called her “matron.” 

The hand still holding hers now felt overwhelmingly real. Her palm slowly heated up, and her ears flushed red. She thought, ‘No way. Could it be that Felix, whom I’ve always viewed as an elder, is seeing me as a future mate?‘ The murmurs of those around her didn’t reach Nyx’s ears at all; her mind was filled with Felix’s utterance of “matron.” Suddenly, someone whispered, “Your Highness is here!” 

At the sound of this exclamation, a male walked toward them with graceful steps. His perfect figure was enveloped in a crisp uniform, and his perfect legs were especially eye–catching. With white hair and blue eyes, he was strikingly handsome, exuding a strong presence and undeniable charm. 

Under the gaze of the crowd, he crossed through the dense crowd and headed straight toward Nyx. 

In an instant, everyone held their breath, some unable to watch any longer.

They thought, “This little female foolishly attempted to seduce Aurelius; she would surely cry terribly after being rejected in public.’ 

In the silence, Aurelius removed his gloves, took out a cute round pearl earring from his chest pocket, and softly said to Nyx, “Your item fell into my possession.” 

Everyone gasped. 

Aurora’s smug smile froze. 

A personal item like an earring, worn so close to the body, being in someone else’s hands, clearly indicated a level of intimacy. 

‘What’s the Crown Prince doing? Is he backing up Nyx? Are all these males now under Nyx’s spell?‘ everyone was confused. 

So were the Emperor and Queen. They were unable to understand why Aurelius, who had once avoided Nyx, was now acting so attentively. 

Nyx instinctively touched her ear and realized that one of the earrings was indeed missing. It must have fallen off during the period when she was unconscious. 

She took the pearl earring from the man’s hand and looked at the familiar face. ‘Cotton Candy is the Crown Prince?”
