Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

hapter 130

Nyx fell into a deeper thought. There aren’t many people in the house–just a few of them.

Theon and Felix would never do something like this. They also know I already have a bottle of catnip perfume. Zayne has even less reason to do it.

That’s it. The only suspect is already glaringly obvious.

With a helpless sigh, Nyx massaged her temples and poked Aurelius in a private message, asking if he had done something

bad.

Even though there was no evidence, Aurelius confessed immediately and sent her a picture of an arrested white cat sitting obediently in front of the camera, its front paws bound together, its ears drooping, and its eyes glistening with unshed tears. In front of it lay a small sign: [GUILTY.]

Aurelius: [I’m sorry… Please punish me.]

Nyx had never encountered anything like this before. The moment she saw the picture, her rationality almost crumbled, and she thought, ‘Forget it and just let it go. After all, how could a little kitty be at fault?‘

It took her a long while to regain her composure and reclaim her sense of reason. She thought, ‘No. Even if he is a cute little kitty, he still needs to be reprimanded.’

Nyx: [Your punishment is… no grooming for a whole week.]

To Nyx, this was a perfect punishment–it wasn’t cruel physical punishment, yet it was a firm enough lesson.

Aurelius, however, thought this was sheer torture.

He would rather be beaten. Even if he had to take a beating every single day for a week, that would be preferable.

Not only was he banned from snuggling with Nyx, but he also had to watch helplessly as everyone else got to snuggle with her. And this torment would last an entire week.

Nyx received another photo. This time, the cat was truly crying.

Looking at the fur dampened by tiny tear droplets, Nyx couldn’t help but feel softhearted–but she forced herself to stay

firm.

Nyx: [Stop crying. I’ll hug you again after a week.]

Nyx: [Do you understand what you did wrong this time?]

If Aurelius had just been jealous and secretly given her a bottle of catnip perfume, she wouldn’t have minded. But this mischievous cat had hidden Xivar’s gift in an obscure corner and replaced it with catnip perfume.

And because she had no idea, it led to the whole embarrassing incident where Kai mistakenly thought the catnip perfume was meant for him.

Nyx explained the entire situation to Aurelius in detail, hoping he would fully grasp the gravity of his mistake.

Aurelius was struck by lightning.

The catnip perfume he sent had somehow become the reason for Kai’s confession. Aurelius was completely shattered. He thought, ‘Indeed, bad deeds never end well. Could this be the punishment meted out by the Beast God himself?”

Nyx waited for a while but didn’t receive any new messages or photos. She started to feel a little worried. She thought, ‘Was I
