Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 372

In an instant, the harsh words that had been on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. Erik suddenly stood up and quickly walked toward the door. "Nyx? Hiss..."

When he saw Nyx holding a large food box, he hurriedly took it from her, but was caught off guard when she pinched his ear. He obediently lowered his head, following her pull without resisting.

He was so tall that Nyx had to stand on tiptoe to pinch his ear, which clearly took a lot of effort.

Erik instinctively wanted to kneel. Just before his knees hit the ground, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that his rival was walking out of the study. He immediately stopped his movement.

But the scene was enough to leave Aurelius speechless.

Arlong had long been accustomed to Erik's status, so he wasn't shocked anymore. But Aurelius and Aron were standing there, dumbfounded.

Aron cautiously raised his eyes to look at Aurelius. He thought, 'Nyx's temperament doesn't seem quite like what His Majesty has imagined. Will he not like her as much anymore?'

It wasn't until he saw the infatuation and envy in Aurelius's eyes that Aron froze, his face filled with despair as he shut his eyes, his fantasies shattered.

He thought, 'What is there to envy? The ruler of a country is envious of a servant being pulled by the ear by his wife?

Nyx hadn't expected to see Cotton Candy's human form here, and she was startled. She quickly let go of her grip.

With so many people around, she wanted to give Erik some face. After letting go, she rubbed the spot where she'd grabbed, then looped her arm through Pale Wolf's. Her earlier fierceness vanished, replaced by her usual gentle, affectionate demeanor. "I brought you some food, and I made it myself."

Erik's ears turned red. He was unsure whether it was from shyness, embarrassment, or because Nyx had pulled them so hard they turned red.

"Thank you, Nyx," he said, taking her hand with one of his and carefully holding the food box with the other.

"I'm sorry about last night..." He knew why Nyx had been so upset and pulled his ear. Lowering his voice, he awkwardly apologized, "I went too far. I didn't expect..."

He hadn't expected that she couldn't take it.

"Stop." Nyx raised her hand to cover his mouth.

Although it was a whisper, it was so quiet around them that anyone with good hearing could catch it.

She could already feel a burning gaze filled with jealousy and reluctance staring right at her.

"We'll talk about this later," she muttered quietly, signaling that this matter should be put aside for now-it wasn't the time to bring it up.

Erik nodded with a red face, not asking what she meant by 'talking about it later.'

No matter how she wanted to handle it, he would just accept it. The vibe between the couple was incredibly intimate.

Aurelius stared at their intertwined hands, his heart aching with bitterness.

"My name is Aurelius Maximilian," he couldn't help but speak up. "Madam, it's a pleasure to meet you."

It had come, just as expected. Aron looked desperate.

Nyx's attention was drawn back. Her gaze landed on the familiar face of Aurelius's, and her eyes widened in awe.

He looked so young. She was actually seeing the teenager version of Aurelius with her own eyes.

Just as Aurelius had hoped, she was meeting him again at the best age of his life.

Catching the admiration in Nyx's eyes, Aurelius felt his heart pound wildly.

He thought, 'As long as this appearance could attract her, it's worth waking up at dawn to get ready. If she likes it, I would always be well-groomed whenever I see her

The moment they locked eyes for too long, Erik sensed something was off.

The term "madam" was normal, of course. But when Aurelius said it, it felt oddly off

There was an almost imperceptible hint of affection in his words, as if Aurelius wasn't just greeting someone else's wife, but calling out to his own.

Sensing this strange tone, Erik furrowed his brows, stepping forward to place himself between them. He shot an unfriendly, scrutinizing look at Aurelius.

His gaze shifted around Aurelius's face, slowly moving down, and landing on his waist, where he spotted a familiar sachet
