Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 3

The thought of mental power awakening flashed through Nyx’s mind but was quickly forgotten.

“Ms. Voss, your personal information has been uploaded to the system. From today, you’re officially a citizen of this empire. Whenever you need to verify your identity, just scan your iris,” the clerk explained.

Nyx accepted the bracelet–like device, called Intelligent Brain, and tapped it to check her profile. Her name, gender, age, height, weight, health score, and other information were all neatly displayed.

But then she noticed the section for her spouse’s information. It said “None“, and right next to it was a spouse applications counter, which was ticking up fast.

Nyx furrowed her brows and thought, ‘Is this thing broken? How could there be so many people applying to be my spouse?‘

“What’s with this number?” she asked, pointing at the screen.

The clerk said with a calm, almost rehearsed tone, “Since you don’t have a spouse, your profile is automatically set to accept applications from eligible unmarried males.

“You can choose one main consort and any secondary consorts you like. You’ll be their matron, and they’ll serve as your protectors, providing for your every need–housing, food, safety–everything. Their lives will be devoted to you.”

Nyx’s face instantly turned awkward, and she asked, “Is this… mandatory?”

The clerk sensed her displeasure and bowed in apology while explaining, “Not at all. The empire would never force a female to marry, I assure you. But for your safety, unmarried females are required to have at least three guardians.”

Apparently, most females ended up marrying their guardians anyway, but as long as it wasn’t a forced arrangement, Nyx could accept it.

She wasn’t in any hurry to think about marriage now. Her recent experiences had left her with a pretty big mental block on the subject.

Nyx glanced at Theon and Zayne, the two who had been by her side through everything so far. She bit her lip, hesitating. She barely knew anyone in this world, and she couldn’t help but feel attached to them.

Zayne, understanding her unspoken thoughts, stepped forward and said, “Ms. Voss, if you allow it, I’d be honored to be one of your guardians.”

Theon followed immediately and said in a sincere tone, “I’d like to be your guardian as well.”

Nyx nodded again and again but said no words.

Seeing the scene, Zayne showed a gentle smile. It was a rare sight that softened his usually sharp and serious features. His calm, almost frosty demeanor melted away, and his smile was like the first warm breeze after winter

He took Nyx’s hand and bowed slightly to press a light kiss to Nyx’s fingertips.

Theon did the same, gently kissing her other hand with a reverence that made her blush.
