Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 347

Upon hearing his call, Arlong entered quietly, lowered his head, and waited for instructions.

Nyx took an interest in observing him

Arlong had a youthful face, average height, and a lean build. He didn't seem like

much at first glance, but there was an impression that he had some skill.

She thought. 'Could he be the legendary trusted subordinate? A personal bodyguard?"

"You come... Erik had planned to ask Arlong to peel the shrimp but suddenly noticed Nyx's gaze. He furrowed his brow and cleared his throat twice..

He thought, Shameless. She is my wife, yet she is staring at another man. What kind of behavior is that?

"Huh?" Nyx looked away, turning her head to see that the dumb Pale Wolf was clearly irritated.

Erik, who had a bad temper, suddenly got angry, gritted his teeth for a while, but in the end, nothing happened.

"Go bring me a basin of water, he changed his mind and instructed Arlong, "And bring me a cloth too."

Arlong, though confused, did as told. He left quickly like the wind and soon came back.

He respectfully carried the basin of water, watching his master wash his hands carefully in the copper basin and wipe them with the cloth. Then, Erik took a plate of shrimp from the table, placed it in front of himself, and began peeling the shrimp.

"Master, let me do it," Arlong said, surprised and shocked.

He was right there-there was no reason for Erik to do it himself.

"No need. I'll do it myself." Erik glanced at him warily and then covered the plate with his hand. "You can go now."

Erik had just been a bit careless in his thinking, not considering it properly. He thought, 'Since she is my wife, of course, she can only eat shrimp peeled by me. How can I let another man do it for her?"

Watching Erik work swiftly, Arlong opened his mouth as if to say something but hesitated, not wanting to defy his master's orders.

Feeling lost, he looked at Nyx, hoping she would take over the task. Nyx, however, was resting her chin in her hand, focusing intently on Erik. She didn't make eye contact with him.

It was Erik who keenly noticed Arlong's gaze. His eyes were sharp as knives, coldly locking with his for a moment.

Their eyes met, and Arlong understood Erik's intentions, Silently, he shut his mouth, followed the orders, and quietly left the room, closing the door behind him.

Inside the room, only the faint sound of shrimp being peeled remained.

Erik, with his face cold in anger, peeled the entire plate of shrimp. The plump shrimp meat was neatly arranged in the plate. still steaming

"Eat." He shoved the plate toward Nyx, his tone stiff and hard.

"You peeled these for me?" Nyx couldn't help but tease him. “But I'm already full."

Seeing his handsome face visibly fall, she quickly changed her tone. "But how can I not appreciate my husband's gesture?"

As she spoke, she picked up a shrimp and popped it into her mouth.

Erik's expression immediately changed from gloomy to happy, all his emotions showing on his face. He didn't even realize that he had been playfully teased.

The word "husband made him a little shy. He lowered his head, processing his feelings for a moment before looking back at Nyx, who was still eating. He quickly spoke up. "If you're full, then... don't force yourself"

Eating too much could harm her body. He had seen famine-stricken people who, after receiving aid, couldn't control their hunger and ate themselves to death.
