Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Nyx instinctively turned her head to look, but saw nothing. She thought, 'It was probably the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.

She figured it was about time, stood up, and lifted the lid off the big pot simmering with fish soup. A wave of heat hit her face, carrying a rich aroma.

The fish was fresh, of excellent quality, and the broth had a beautiful milky white color. Even the little maid who usually didn't like fish or complained about its smell was staring at it hungrily, swallowing her saliva.

Nyx thought, 'It would taste so good if I could dip some flatbread in that hot soup..."

The fragrance spread through the whole courtyard, and the rustling from the bushes grew louder, even more intense than before.

But Nyx had no time to investigate. She was busy ladling the soup, one bowl after another. She gave a subtle glance to the shy little maids standing over there, and they sheepishly came over.

Everyone got a bowl.

In the courtyard, the sound of people slurping their soup could be heard.

After eating something greasy, drinking some hot soup to balance it out felt so comfortable.

Nyx served herself a small bowl, took a sip, but it was too hot, so she set it aside to cool off before drinking.

In just that short time, the noises behind her grew louder and more urgent, now clearly beyond what the wind could make, and it became impossible to ignore.

Before she could turn around to check, a white something suddenly flashed out and darted toward her.

Nyx blinked, and she heard startled exclamations coming from the courtyard.

"Madam!"

"Madam, be careful!"

"A cat!"

"Where did this cat come from?"

The shadow guards almost moved out, but when they saw it was a false alarm, they were relieved-fortunately, they hadn't acted yet.

The royal family loved cats, so it became a trend in the common folk as well, seeing cats as omens of good fortune. As a result, cats couldn't be harmed.

This beautiful, clean white cat must have been well cared for by someone. If it died here, it could cause trouble for Nyx.

The guards had escorted Nyx out once, and on the way back, they sensed someone was following them. They were about to make a move but then realized the person's target seemed to be the white cat following Nyx, probably the cat's

owner.

This cat was unlike any ordinary breed-it looked extraordinary, majestic, and incredibly agile, almost ghostly in how it

moved.

They had thought it had left, but they hadn't expected it to be so persistent. Quietly, it had sneaked into th had been lurking there ever since.

They thought, 'It makes sense now. With such a fragrant smell, even the most battle-hardened of us couldn't resist it. How could a little cat? It surely couldn't resist the temptation.

The guards smelled the various aromas in the air and tried hard to keep their stomachs from growling, their faces pale.

They could see it, smell it, but they couldn't eat it. It was the worst kind of torture for them.

They thought, 'We are all servants of the Duke's family, so why do others have it so good while we have to suffer like this?'

Their resentful gazes were almost tangible.

Several of the maids shuddered, suddenly feeling a strange sense of being watched, like someone had their eyes on them.

They glanced around, saw nothing, but quickly turned their attention back to the little cat that had shown up uninvited.

The little white cat seemed to have a clear target. It happily circled Nyx, pawing at her sleeve, rubbing against her legs, and meowing to get her attention.

When Nyx didn't move, it seemed a bit impatient. It shook its ears and used its trick-flopping onto her feet, rolling onto its back with its soft belly exposed, as if inviting her to pet it.

"So cute..." The maids' eyes lit up. Forgetting about manners, they couldn't help but quietly squeal.

"Look! It really likes the madam!"
