Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 52

Even his younger brothers subtly tried to convince Aurelius to attend the ball.

“I’ve seen Nyx’s photo; she’s such a cute little female. Much cuter than any females I’ve dated before,” the Second Imperial Prince leaned close to Aurelius, his tone ambiguous. “Aurelius, aren’t you even a little curious?”

Aurelius coldly replied, “No.”

He tossed a thick stack of documents at the Second Imperial Prince. “Read this today and write me a 5,000–word report.” “Don’t be like this!” The Palace was immediately filled with the Second Imperial Prince’s wailing.

Ever since Aurelius’s return after his disappearance, the Palace had been filled with the cries of other princes.

Aurelius nearly taught his younger brothers everything, as though he were handing over all his power to them.

The power that should have been fought for was now easily within reach, yet the other princes showed no interest whatsoever.

“I really don’t want to handle these affairs,” the Third Imperial Prince said tiredly, with large dark circles under his eyes. “With you here, we don’t have to deal with these matters.”

The royal family’s relationships are unprecedentedly harmonious in this generation, with Aurelius being the widely expected Heir to the Throne, and the other princes have no ambitions of vying for power.

The Second Imperial Prince was only interested in pursuing females and romantic affairs, while the Third Imperial Prince preferred to stay within the palace walls, rarely venturing out.

The Fourth Imperial Prince was the most obedient, always doing as his elder brother asked, but he clearly lacked the qualities of a ruler.

Aurelius rubbed his forehead in frustration. ‘How long will it take before I can finally relieve myself of these responsibilities?‘

When his brothers were capable of handling things on their own and the empire had a new qualified successor, he could step back.

Compared to living in the cage–like Palace and being forced to marry a female he disliked, he would rather lose control and become a beast.

The instincts of the beast would guide him to find the female he loved.

He just wanted to stay by her side, even if it meant being a pet.

“These state affairs aren’t solely my responsibility. As potential heirs, you should learn to share the burden, Aurelius said calmly, tapping his fingers on the table. “Keep working hard; you still have yesterday’s tasks to finish. It’s best to complete them today.”

The Third Imperial Prince collapsed in his chair with a pale face
