Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 354

Mila and Kaya had been terribly bored ever since Nyx got married. They were suffocating with frustration, having built up a lot of ill-will, and now they were eagerly waiting for this opportunity to vent.

As soon as they thought that there was going to be a good show, they could hardly wait.

Rohan remained seated in the main chair, his expression unreadable. There was no hint of joy, no expectation of a family reunion, nor any intention of greeting her personally. He waved his hand and dismissed the servants. "I know, po bark."

He was waiting for Nyx to come and greet him herself.

The Voss Manor wasn't large, and the distance from the main gate to the main hall was only a few dozen steps. The family had been waiting for half the day, but Nyx hadn't appeared, making them even angrier.

Rohan, unable to tolerate it anymore, slammed his hand down on the table, almost smashing the cups and vases. "If she doesn't want to come back to this family, tell her to just roll back!"

"Alright, my lord, don't be angry, Joyce gently soothed from the side, secretly laughing in her heart. "Maybe something happened... Maybe she's feeling unwell? Having trouble moving?"

Joyce thought. After all, Nyx married that crippled, violent man. She has such a submissive, unappealing personality, so getting beaten might be an everyday occurrence for her!

Joyce had already prepared herself for Nyx to return crying, ready to complain.

And all she needed to do was casually mention that the Voss family couldn't compete with the Duke's. The Duke's had the upper hand, and they had no way to demand an explanation, so they could cover it up.

In the meantime, they could use this opportunity to spread rumors about Erik's cruelty, damaging the Duke's reputation, which would earn them favor with Banon.

The more Joyce thought about it, the more pleased she became, already envisioning a future of success.

Hearing her words, Rohan couldn't help but share her thoughts. His gaze shifted slightly, and his expression relaxed a little.

He thought, 'In that case, Nyx isn't completely useless after all'

While he was contemplating this, a series of footsteps suddenly rang out outside.

At the sound, everyone instinctively looked up, their eyes widening in astonishment.

A few strong bearers were carrying a luxurious, soft palanquin, walking slowly toward the main hall. Each of them moved steadily, in perfect unison, clearly experienced and well-trained.

They carefully set the palanquin down at the entrance.

A servant woman immediately hurried over, briskly lifting the palanquin curtain

and helping the person inside to step down

Everyone thought, 'Is that someone from the Read family?'

Rohan swallowed and exchanged a glance with Joyce.

There had never been such a display in the Voss Manor's courtyard before.

He thought. With such a grand occasion, could it be that Erik has come in person?"

Not just the four members of the Voss family, but even the servants were tense, barely daring to breathe.

In the stillness, the person in the palanquin finally leaned out, revealing themselves under the gaze of the crowd.

When they saw that familiar face, the tension immediately eased, and the Voss family members even felt a bit angry at being made a fool of

Before Nyx could respond, the servant woman and a few of the bearers showed expressions of anger, glaring at Rohan. He was left feeling guilty, instinctively closing his mouth.

After a few seconds of stiff silence, he finally realized that these were just servants, nothing to be afraid of. But once the momentum faltered, it was hard to regain.
