Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 369

The group of seven stood frozen, staring at Nyx, motionless like statues carved from weathered stone.

It wasn't until the little white cat let out an annoyed growl that they snapped out of their trance. Shaken, they quickly regained their senses, looking down and no longer daring to meet the woman's gaze, their faces filled with awe.

They thought, 'It is astonishing that someone can hold Aurelius as if she is holding an ordinary pet. No, even an ordinary pet wouldn't be this well-behaved...

Seeing the little white cat nuzzle against the woman's shoulder, everyone couldn't help but wonder if they were seeing correctly. They thought, 'Is this really His Majesty?"

But the unique dark hair on his forehead was undeniable; it was indeed Aurelius.

Aron wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

But the little white cat stayed there, unmoving, as though he hadn't seen Aron, completely ignoring him and giving him nothing but a cold, turned back.

Aron could only brace himself and bow to Nyx. "This... this is..."

"Is this your cat?" Nyx smoothly picked up his unfinished sentence.

"N-no, no..." Aron shook his head repeatedly, his face turning bright red as he stammered even more.

He thought, 'How could I dare call Aurelius his cat? Even if it were just a verbal joke, it would be a serious crime.

Hearing the slightly shrill voice in front of her and seeing how nervous he looked, Nyx quickly understood his identity and made a clearer judgment about her mate.

After being the lady of the Duke's Mansion for so long, she wasn't as clueless as when she first arrived in this world.

She had overheard conversations about the current emperor, who was young and had spent a long time living at the Duke's Mansion as a child, being childhood friends with Pale Wolf, with whom he shared a deep bond.

That seemed to fit perfectly.

She pretended not to know, lowering her eyes and thinking. She asked, "Then... is it your master's cat?"

The little white cat made a short sound.

Aron immediately understood and nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's right."

While lowering and raising his head, he sneaked a glance at Aurelius, struggling to hide the strange expression on his face.

After serving Aurelius for so many years, he had never heard Aurelius make such a soft and delicate sound-this was truly a first.

Aurelius didn't like anyone touching his fur, and he rarely even transformed into his beast form. But today, it seemed like a completely different person, as though his personality had changed completely.

"Go on; you

home now." Nyx rubbed the little cat's head. "You can come find me again if you have time."

She couldn't really keep the ruler of a nation locked up at home as her personal warming pet, neglecting state affairs.

Hearing this, Aron opened his arms in preparation to welcome the cat back, but the little white cat ignored him completely.
