Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 261

The vibe was somewhat heavy, and it didn’t feel right.

Noel’s sharp senses picked up on the oddness. He stopped in his tracks, cautiously observing for a while, his tail tucked between his legs and ears drooping.

She hugged Noel who came running towards her and noticed that his eyes were still filled with tears. Even after a night of sleep, his mood didn’t seem to have improved.

“What’s wrong?” Nyx wiped his tears. “You’ve already apologized. Mommy and daddy don’t blame you anymore”

They wouldn’t hold Noel’s mistake against him

Noel sniffled and nuzzled his head into Nyx’s embrace, carefully watching her face, and quietly asked, “Really?”

He thought. But mommy and daddy’s expressions seem so bad. Could it be that they are still upset with me?

For more than half a year, Seafarion had been staying at Sea Race Stars, accompanying his grandfather.

Nyx had also visited several times, and each time, the situation seemed to have worsened.

The former clan leader had always been in good health, with no serious illnesses, but his bodily functions were now deteriorating. Unlike diseases, aging was irreversible and incurable. No matter how advanced technology or how much wealth one had, no one could truly fight against death.

The family gathered in the living room to discuss the arrangements for sending the elderly man off at Sea Race Stars
